Deception 2

Chapter 8: She's Pregnant

I told him the truth. I don't want to fall in love with Tre because I still remember the times he was such an asshole to me and the time I caught him with Paige. I don't know what I want honestly. I still have Deandre who's still ignoring me more and more everyday. Should I dump him for Tre?

"Zee, why are you afraid to fall in love with me? I'm here for you everyday. I promise to treat you right and...". "That's the thing," I interrupted him, "I have a feeling that you'll do everything you promise. I have a feeling that you'll love me unconditionally and you'll be there for me like you are now. But i'm not ready to give up the thought of you kissing Paige and being an asshole. I don't want to get my hopes high just for them to be shot back down".

I told him so much, I started tearing up a bit. It became overwhelming. He came around the car and hugged me. I laid there in his arms while he rubbed my back and held me tighter and tighter. After the hug, he kissed me on the lips. I'm not going to explain his kiss, because it's kind of like what you see in those movies, but better. We got in the car and he drove me home. We didn't finish talking about love on the way back. It was pretty...quiet.

Now that I told him, did he want to take everything he said back? I mean, did he still love me or was all that out the window now that I brought up Paige? Did I fuck it up? So many thoughts ran through my head that night. When he dropped me off, I hopped out the car and told him bye. He nodded and drove off. Maybe I did fuck it up. 

The next day,Sunday, my mom made breakfast. I came downstairs to her still cooking the eggs. She always made those last. "Hey honey," she said as I sat down at the table. "Hey". "So, how did it go with your father?". "Good". "Did he tell you anything about...you know". "Kind of". "Oh God, look I'm sorry about everything. Please forgive me". "All he did was admit to killing her". "I knew that. I was just apologizing for how things went down and are going down. your life wasn't meant to be like this".

Ain't that the truth. You know what, I had a normal fucking life until Paige ruined it. I haven't seen her days. Months actually. Where is this girl? "Look mom, from now on, no more lies. Please?". "I promise! No more lies. Anything you want to know, I'll be honest one-hundred percent". "Ok, let's move past this".

After breakfast, of course I called Ken to tell her what happen. She felt that I should have stayed to listen more about his side of the story. I think leaving was the best decision I made. He didn't have anything to tell me. Not anything that I wanted to hear. I don't want to hear why he killed her because he shouldn't have.

For some reason I feel like there is more to what happened in the past, but I guess I'll find out what I need to know later. I called Trevor but there was no answer. I felt like he was avoiding me now. I mean all i said was that I wasn't ready, I didn't say that I don't want to be friends.

That day was overall a boring day. When Monday came, I saw Deaandre. "D!". I called him as he walked past on his way to class. He saw me and just kept walking. This nigga was on something. Why does it seem like everyone is avoiding me? By lunch time I talked to Deandre finally. "Why you keep avoiding me". "Babe, I'm not. What's up?". "What's up?".

He talks to me as if I'm one of his friends. I'm tired of this non-existent relationship. It's over. "Look, D, I can't do this anymore". "Do what?". "This. This relationhip. Me, you, everything!" "So what are you saying? You need a break?". "No, no break. Just be done. I'm over all of this. I've been begging you for the past month to talk to me".

"Baby you know I've been busy with basketball". "I know. And I don't want to get in the way so, you go your way and I'll go mine". "But baby, I need you. I don't want you to leave me. Please just give me one more chance". "No, I tried and I'm done with this relationship". "It's Trevor ain't it". "This has nothing to do with him. This was all on you".

I walked away after the argument and met up with Kendra. She was listening to the entire thing. "Finally! You broke up with him. Let's celebrate tonight!". "Why tonight? Tomorrow's the last day, let's celebrate then". "I guess or whatever". Later on in the day, there was no sign of Tre. I don't think he came to school. I called him a couple of times but of course no answer.

When I got home, Ken came with me. My mother wasn't home. She told me she wouldn't be home until two in the morning maybe. Kendra and I did some homework, played some music, watched some T.V., and ate some chinese. We talked about spring break and what we were gonna do.

"I'll be out almost everyday with my new boo". "And what's his name?". "Malik". "That sounds like a thot name Ken". "Don't talk about my baby like that. At least he pays attention to me". "I heard that". "I'm gonna go home, it's getting late. And I definitely don't need your mom kicking me out". Kendra left and then the last day before spring break was here. School is school and nothing major happens. Tre didn't show up again. I got worried so you know what I did. I grabbed Ken and after school we found out where he lived.

We took a bus to get to his house. When we got there, I thought about turning back around. I felt like maybe I was doing too much or overthinking like I usually do. "Girl, get it together," Kendra said. "We here now, so let's go knock on the door". "Ok, fine". We slowly approached his door. Ken looked at me and told me to knock. I knocked and waited for him to open the door. When the door opened, he wasn't there. It was Paige! And she was...pregnant...
