"Can I see an i.d please?" Huffed the rude cashier smacking her gum incredibly loud from behind the counter.

I blew out a breath of annoyance while digging around in my pocket for my wallet and showed her my information.

"Hmm." She groaned.

"What??" i snapped.

She pulled off the shelf a pack of honey-berry Backwoods. "You gotta girlfriend.. ?" She smirked.

Not being interested in answering the question, I put down a five dollar bill and left.

Frustration from not smoking for a week started getting to me. I pulled off aggressively and drove until I found a dark, isolated parking lot to smoke.

NBA Youngboy blasted from my car as I carefully rolled a blunt into perfection.

I smoked until I was perfectly relaxed...so relaxed that I ended up falling asleep in the car.

An hour and 20 minutes later..

The vibration from my phone against the cup holder caused me to wake up instantly. 

"Rose 😍" lit up across the screen.

"yoo.. "  I answered.

"What have you been doing??" She asked irritated.

"My fault, I smoked this ganja and fell asleep."

"I've called you like 5 times! Pick me up from the hospital." She cried.

"Ight.." I said nonchalantly before disconnecting our call.

20 minutes later.

"Are you dumb or are you stupid?" Snapped Rose after closing the passengers side door.

I huffed and I prepared myself for the argument I knew was coming.

"What girl?"

"you have weed crumbs everywhere and you smell like it too!" She yelled while talking with her hands.

I grabbed her thigh hoping that it would help her shut up a little. "Damn girl, relax. It's not that serious."

She swiped my hand off her thigh and yelled "YES IT IS THAT SERIOUS, YOU MUST WANT TO GET CAUGHT BY THE POLICE!"

Right after thinking my frustration was gone Roses uproar caused me to explode.

"CAN YOU EVER STOP COMPLAINING FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE?"

Roses POV

My eyes froze and my body was in shock. Him yelling caused me to shiver.

He was right. I was complaining way too much, I was upset about the situation about my grandmother and I took it out on him.

The rest of the car ride was silent.

We pulled up into the driveway of Anthony's house and I wasn't  hesitant about going inside.

I unlocked the door and made my way straight up stairs.

Five minutes later, Anthony followed.

He walked in on me seeing that I only had on my bra and panties as I was transitioning into pajamas. 

"sorry for snapping on you.." He started while taking off his white t-shirt revealing his perfect muscular chest.

I didn't say anything, I just stood in front of the dresser looking myself in the mirror as I took my hair out of a bun.

He walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

His touch was making me uncomfortable.

"Please ..just ..no." I said pulling away from him.

"What's wrong now? YOU start with me in the car, I apologize, and you can't say anything back??" He said with a angry voice.

"I'm sorry! My grandmother is dying as we speak!" I said yelling and crying.

Anthony wiped his face with his hand. "Fuck Rose." 

"why didn't you say that earlier?"

I sat on the bed sniffling and wiping tears off my face. "I didn't wanna talk about it.." I explained.

Anthony pulled me into a hug. "I know I don't look like it, but you can talk to me when somethings wrong.." He said softly.

Him saying that caused me to remember something I needed to tell him...

"We need to talk.." I started.

He looked at me with a confused face. "About what?"

I took a deep breath not knowing what his reaction would be after I told him I was pregnant.

"I'm two weeks.." I blurted nervously .

I watched his face twist in confusion.

"What do you mean two weeks??"

I got up and dug around in my underwear drawer for the pregnancy test I hid. 

"Two weeks." I said again handing him the pee stick.

His face froze for a minute.

"You wanna keep it?" He asked.

"YES I wanna keep it. Are you crazy??"

He looked disappointed and sighed.

"You and I both know we aren't ready for this.."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing...
