Jabez decided to go back home to get dressed. We all wore black dresses. Mine was laced.

My mom soon came home looking extremely tired. I can tell these hours are working her. She told us she wanted to come but she was too tired.

Makayla drove us to the church. We were like 30 minutes late. We sat with Jabez and his family.

"Hey." I whispered to Jabez.

"Hey. You look good." Jabez said.

"Thanks you too." I said.

"Now we don't talk about this a lot. Sex before marriage."

Jabez and I looked at each other.

"Aren't there kids in here?" I whispered.

"Yeah but there at children's church." Jabez said .

I sighed.

The rest of church was EXTREMELY AWKWARD. At the end the mic went around for people to say what they wanted to say and Jabez's mom made it even more awkward.

"I just want to say pastor...that service was well. I believe we need to talk about these type of things more. I'm proud to say that my kids will wait until marriage. All of them. Thank you."

"Amen." Someone said.

"Yes brother Jabez." Someone said.

Jabez started to blush when everyone stared at him and Rocky. He put his head down. I felt bad for him. I rubbed his back.

After service people came up to me and said they missed me. I didn't remember most of them.

"Mom I'm gonna go home." Jabez said.

"I'll see you later." I said.

"See you." Jabez said.

We got home and we told my mom about the service. She was sad she missed it.

I texted Jabez to see if everything was good.

Me:Hey Jabez. Are you good? - 12:32 pm.

Jabez:Yeah I'm good. I just feel guilty. -12:35 pm.

Me- I'm sorry. -12:37 pm.

Jabez: Asia it's not your fault. I wanted it. -12:41 pm

Me:Okay. 12:42 pm

I got a lyft to Jabez's house because Makayla was asleep. I wanted to see him.

I got there and knocked on the door. Rocky answered. He looked nervous.

"Hey Rocky. What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing um..what are you doing here?" Rocky asked.

"Visiting obviously." I said.

"Well Jabez isn't here right now."

"His cars outside." I said.

"Oh yeah..but he's with mom." Rocky said.

"Rocky if you don't let me in."

"Come later." Rocky said.

I shoved past Rocky.

Rocky sighed.

"I have Horchata." I said.

"Ooh really?" Rocky said.

I handed him it then walked toward the steps.

"Wait Asia."

I turned. "Yes Rocky?" I asked.

"You don't want to go up there."

"Why not?" I said rolling my eyes.

"Just don't." Rocky said.

"Drink your Horchata." I said walking up the steps.

I went up and heard giggling. The fuck? I cracked the door and saw Jabez getting his hair braided by Diamond. She was all over him and kissing his neck. Jabez was enjoying it I could tell.

"Rocky get out." I heard Jabez call out.

I walked away. I went back down and saw Rocky drinking his Horchata. He looked at me sadly because he knew what I just saw.

"Are you okay?" Rocky asked.

"You were right. I should've listened. Umm..you can keep the Horchata I got for me and Jabez. Don't tell him I came okay?"

"Yeah..I won't tell him. You should get with someone like me. I won't play you."

"What are you talking about?" I asked laughing.

"I know you'll never give me a chance."

"Rocky..." I shook my head "I gotta go." I said.

Rocky has always been like a little brother to me. I never knew he liked me like that.

*THE NEXT DAY*

I went to art class and sat by Aria, Don,Andre and Tommy. I told them what happened before Jabez came. They were mad that Jabez.

Jabez came in late. He tried to cover his neck with his sweatshirt but I saw the hickeys. Everyone ignored him. Don sorta talked to him but barely.

"I'm with gang...I'm with the gang...gang...gang." Jabez said poking me.

"Can you like not. I'm trying to paint." I said making everyone laugh.

"I'm with the mob what was you thinking." Jabez said trying to make everyone laugh.

That shit wasn't working.

"Aye Jabez can you shut up." Andre said.

"Nah man." Jabez said.

"We're tryna focus." Tommy said.

"On Art? Art though?" Jabez asked laughing. "All you do is paint."

"Maybe we don't want our paintings to look like yours." Aria said.

Jabez rolled his eyes. "What is it attack Jabez day?"

Everyone was silent.

"Can I go to the bathroom?" Jabez asked our teacher.

"Yes you may."

Jabez left out and we talked more shit.

"Is this nigga that desperate for her?" Don asked.

"I don't know." I said.

"Hes probably tryna get hea-" Tommy said.

Everyone laughed except me. Like I'm really in my feelings for real. Dudes really ain't shit.
