"Somethings Gotta Change"

Chapter 11

"Here and now I promise to love faithfully You're all I need Here and now I vow to be one with thee." Luther Vandross was blasting in Stacys surround sound speakers. Stacy loved herself some Luther, she knew every song word for word and probably everyone around her knew them too because she kept them on repeat.

The music blasted so loudly it woke Chelsea from her slumber. Chelsea immediately reached for her phone to check the time it read 12:07. "Dang I slept late I never do that at home." Chelsea stayed up until two thinking about the post on instagram. She didn't respond to the group message or call Trey about it yet. She only saved the screenshot from the group message in order to send to him, she really didn't have the energy for anything else bad. Although she was very hurt and wondered about the post she just dismissed it and told herself she'll deal with it tomorrow.

Chelsea looks over to the other side of the room and see Lil Charles still sleeping. "Probably stayed his butt up all night on that darn game." She mumbled to herself while stretching. Chelsea put in her pin and seen she had a few missed calls from Trey, about two from her messy ass cousin that was one year younger than her and so many messages even one from her mom Sheila, which she immediately opened.

Mom: I heard Trey done made a baby on you lol. I know yaw will be back soon fasho now.

Chelsea wasn't going to respond at first but she couldn't hold it in.

Chelsea: Oh so you can text me about mess but not to check on us huh? Nah we ain't coming back just forget you even had kids.

Immediately Chelsea phone buzzes with a response from Sheila.
Mom: Okay stepmomma😂😂😂😂😂

Chelsea was about to take it there with her but she didn't. She knew Sheila could push her buttons she was so petty it was ridiculous, but that was her defense mechanism to cover her own insecurities. Sheila would say anything reckless to and about anyone just so she wouldn't have to face her own problems. You know the old slogan people use, "misery loves company" Sheila is the walking billboard for that slogan.

Chelsea seen Trey had just called her at eleven forty seven she was about to call but she just threw the phone on the bed and proceeded to walk out of the room and go see what had her aunt Stacy so happy this morning.

"Look at God the dead has risen!" Stacy said loudly. "Good morning Tete Stacy." Chelsea stated while stretching again and walking towards Stacy. "I thought I was going to have to call 9-1-1 to get y'all asses up back there." "You so dramatic I ain't lying" "Chileee for real." Stacy laughed. "Breakfast is on the counter and still warm, go wake your brother so y'all both can go brush your teeth and wash your face. We have some running to do today." "You know we can stay here right Tete, we aren't babies anymore." "Yeaaaa I know that, look at you hips almost big as mine trust me I know you ain't a baby NOMO." "Tete Stacy dont start all that capping now." "What's capping?" "Unun not Ms. 'this my hood' that don't know the slang words is it?" Stacy starred at Chelsea with her mouth opened and a look that expressed okay you got that one on her face. "Guh gone head hurry up so y'all can eat and get situated cause we gotta go since y'all chose to sleep the whole day away." Chelsea laughed and hurried back down the hall to go wake up her brother. As she opened the door to the room she heard him talking, "Yea she just walked in the room bro here she go." Lil Charles said. "Who's that?" She asked. "Who else Chels." "Nobody told you answer my phone." "Well I seen it was Trey and it kept vibrating which woke me up in the first place." Chelsea snatched the phone from Lil Charles while telling him what Stacy had said.

Chelsea: Hello?
Trey:What you didn't see my calls or texts?
Chelsea: What is it Trey I gotta go.
Trey: Tf? You gotta go, gotta go where Chels?
Chelsea: What do you want?
Trey: What I do too you to deserve this treatment?
Chelsea didn't respond.
Trey: Hello? You still there Chels?
Chelsea: Congratulations on your son Trey or should I say Junior?
Trey: Maneeee, listen I don't know what that chick got going on but she definitely ain't pregnant by me.
Chelsea: You been with her in the last nine months?
Trey: Nah, I...I....I
Chelsea: Exactly, and we been together for a year and two months so that makes you a cheater right?
Trey: Chelsea if she is it ain't my baby, I promise you it's not mine.

Trey: This a convo we need to have face to face not over no damn phone. Where ya auntie at I'll meet her whatever I gotta do.
Chelsea: So you have been with the hoe aight bet.
