Bigger Than Most

Chapter 18💛

Ranae

It's been months now and it's been bitter sweet moments in between. My school days have been better. Even though I'm the only one out of my friends who haven't figured out where I'm going after high school. Like I like and want to do a few things but I can't choose.

I see Jared sometimes around the school and he just glances at me and keep walking. Candice still the same way probably worse. Her name is ringing everywhere and not in a good way but that's her business. She still say slick stuff about me here and there, not directly but I still just ignore her.

I don't even think her and Jared are still whatever they were. She tries to talk to him and he just ignores her. Maybe he sick of her too.

The arguing between my mom and dad are still bad but they try to be quiet about it for me and the twins but fail. It's still about him never being here, where he be going, and on why Cameron left sometimes.

It gets bad to the point where they arguing in front of us saying that worst things to each other and I have to take the twins away upstairs to my room or we just take a walk or something. She either makes him sleep on the couch or he leaves.

Anthony and I became much closer. And of course the whole situation with Monica is still relevant. She stands in the way sometimes on purpose. Since they've became cordial until the birth of the baby, he helps her out with stuff. She calls and texts him a few times out the day and week crying about any and everything. He even goes to some doctor appointments with her when he can or she begs him too.

I'll be lying if I say I didn't feel some type of way about all that. But what can I say or do? As long as she's not around me I really don't care.

Right now he was dropping me off at the mall to meet Nicole and them. We went to eat at some cafe downtown then just sat in the car smoking and talking for a little.

He pulled into the huge mall parking lot and parked right in front of the door. Through the glass walls you could see the food court was packed today.

"Must be a sale going on" He said and I nodded. I unhooked my seatbelt but I didn't get out yet.

"Probably, But thanks for dropping me off" I said looking at him. He doesn't even try and he still looks so fine. He was wearing all black today. His black beanie covering his hair. He was high as a kite so his eyes was low. He was on his phone while smoking his blunt.

"You welcome, They here already or you gotta wait?" He knitted his eyebrows while looking at the phone.

"They here waiting in the food court. What you about to do?"

"Ride over to see what Monica wants. Then imma go take care of something" Hearing her name made me roll my eyes hard. She call and beg him to come to her on for the most ridiculous things. She just wants his attention and he's giving it to her.

I sighed shaking my head while looking out the window at the people walking into the mall. I grabbed my bag and was about to open the door but he grabbed my hand. "What? They waiting" I said sighing again.

"Nahh, Why you leaving so fast now, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm trying to get out" He let out a laugh and I rolled my eyes again laying my head back looking out the window.

"So why you pouting?" He asked grabbing my cheek an softly pinching it and I pushed his hand away.

"Mamas, I'm only around her cause she pregnant and needs help"

"Oh Ok and I don't care" He chuckle taking his keys out the ignition and getting out the car. He walked around to my side and opened the door smiling.
