"Is it mine?" he asks sitting down on floor
I look him in the eyes and nod
"Your the last person i did anything with," i sniff
He nods and stares at the floor.
"Whats the plan," he says barely above a whisper
"What do you mean,"
All the crying drained my body in every way.
"Your body your choice Amira," he nods, "What is the plan,"
"I uh don't know i haven't thought of that , i was more worried about telling you," i pick at the small carpet beside me, while more tears sting my eyes.
He looks me in the eyes and stares. I look down and close my eyes, i feel arms around me. I open my eyes and see Zions chest, i loosen up and cry on his chest, he rubs my back and lays his head on mine.
"Breath its gonna be okay," he whispers
"No Zion its not we are only 20 we arent ready to be parents yet," i cry
"I know,"
"I don't know what to do," i sniffle
"I get it,"
"You never said how you felt about this," i say as he lets go of me
"I just can't believe this is happening, and i mean its going to be hard if you choose that route and i will be here for you and our child no matter what, yeah we may not be ready but we have our parents and our friends, but Amira it's you who decides what we do,"
I look up and nod
"I want to call my brother, i will be right back," i whisper
I stand up, grab my phone and walk to my room. I call my brother, and he answers a few rings in
"Hey long time no talk," he scoffs
"Yeah,"
"How is Cali?" he asks
"Good how is New York,"
"Not bad,"
"Yeah,"
"You seem off what is wrong?" he asks concerned
I take a deep breath
"Me and Lucas broke up," i say
"Oh, I am sorry,"
"We broke up because i slept with Zion a few weeks ago,"
"Amira," he sighs
"And now i am fucking pregnant," i cry again
The line goes silent, i hear him take a breath.
"What are you going to do?" he asks
"I don't know Clay that is why i called you i am confused,"
"Amira you know me, when i do dumb shit i face the consequences head on and i am against abortion, no matter how much i hate the idea of my little sister having a baby at 20, it might be reality and i think you should talk to Zion,"
"I am so scared, i am not ready to be a parent,"
"No one is Amira and that is just life,"
"I can't wrap my mind around the fact i am actually pregnant and mom is absent so its no like i can ask her,"
"Amira, you need to make a desicion soon,"
"I have already talked to Zion, he supports whatever i want,"
"What do you want?" he ask
"I think i want to keep it," i hesitate to say
"I am hear for you Amira and i love you,"
"Thanks and i love you to,"
"I gotta go," i huff
"Okay call me later,"
"Okay love you bye,"
I drop my phone on my bed and walk to the bathroom and see Zion staring at the ground with his head in his hands. He looks up at me.
"I um think i am gonna keep it," i whisper
He nods and stands up, he walks over to me and wraps his arms around me
"And i will be here for you and our child not matter what Amira," he whispers
I nod and he lets go.
