Chapter 12: How You Know

Saturday

Sydney POV

I heard a hunk and went downstairs.

"Yall daddy here." I said.

"Yay!" Ciarian said.

The doorbell rung and I answered it.

"They'll be out in a second." I said.

"We need to talk." he said.

"About what, I'm tired of talking. Why don't we just end this I'm done man." I said.

"Well I'm not done so we about to talk." he said grabbing my hand and pulling me outside.

"What?" I said.

"Why you tell that girl that?" he said.

"Because she thought that it was funny that she laid in my bed so I thought it was funny that I fucked her nigga." I said.

We started laughing.

"Don't make me laugh I'm mad at you." I said.

"You can't be mad at me for forever." he said grabbing my hand.

"Sydney." Zay said from behind me.

I turned around.

"Hey." I said giving him a hug.

"You ready?" he said.

"Where you going?" Scott asked me.

"Stephanie's appointment." I said.

"Alright I'm finna take them to my momma house." he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm going out tonight." he said.

"Alright see you later." I said kissing him on the cheek.

I walked to Zay car and got in. He started it up and pulled off.

"That was awkward." he said.

"What you mean? We haven't did nothing in a while." I said.

"I think that might change tonight." he said gripping my thigh.

"Ion think so." I said moving his hand.

"Your no fun." he said.

"I think we need to tell Steph." I said.

"Why? Like you said we haven't did nothing in a while." He said.

"I just think we need to tell her." I said.

"Another time, not today." he said.

...

I put my heels on and grabbed my purse. I went downstairs and out the door. I got in my car and pulled off.

From Scott:

Change Of Plans....Not Going Out...WE NEED TO TALK.

Really I wasted a club outfit. I pulled over and grabbed my Jordan's out the back. I put em on and pulled off. I pulled up to his house and parked. I got out and pulled down my dress. I grabbed a hoodie and put it on. I knocked on the door and he answered. I walked in and went up to his room.

"So what's this meeting about?" I said.

"Who was that dude earlier?" he asked.

AWE SHIT

"Steph's baby daddy." I said.

"You know you wrong right?" he said.

"What you talking about?" I said.

"Sydney don't play with me." he said.

I signed.

"How you know?" I asked.

"Luna." he said.

I put my head in my hands and started crying. I wish I would've never did that with him. He started rubbing my back.

"You talked to Steph." he said.

I shook my head no.

"You need to." he said.

"Xavier said he might as well not tell her since we haven't did it in a while." I said.

"Fuck that, you need to tell her." he said.

I wiped my face and got under the covers.

"You think you spending the night?" he asked me.

I nodded my head. He took off my shoes and socks and threw em somewhere.

"I know something that'll make you feel better but you not in the mood for that." he said getting up.

"Yo freaky ass." I said.

"You still love me tho." he said.

"Mmmhmm." I said falling asleep.

...

I woke up and looked over at my phone. It was 12 PM. Why did I sleep that long? Then I remembered I cried myself to sleep. Scott is right tho. I need to tell Steph, but I don't wanna break her heart. I sat up and got out the bed. I was about to go downstairs when I heard Gotti down there talking to Scott.

"Man you can't be getting mad at her, you got skeletons in yo closet too." Gotti said.

"But what she did is more fucked up then what I did." Scott said.

"What you mean, you smashing shawty best friend." Gotti said.

"I only fucked with Luna 2 times. She been messing with dude for longer." Scott said.

When he said that my heart dropped. The two people I trusted the most just fucked me over. I went in the room and put on my shoes. I came out and closed the door loud enough to let them know Im up. I went downstairs and was finna walk out.

"Hey Sydney." Gotti said.

I waved and Scott got up.

"Where you going?" he asked me.

"Home." I said.

"You can't say bye?" he asked me trying to kiss me.

I blocked him.

"I'm not feeling good." I said lying.

"Get better." he said hugging me.

I opened the door and walked out. I went to my car and started it up. I backed out the driveway and went towards my house. I don't know what Imma do Monday when I gotta see Luna. It's just so fucked up. I pulled up to my house and went in. I went to my room and went back to sleep.
