The Bonds Between Us

Chapter 12

The next day.......

TRAVON

Brooklyn done lost her mind if she think that she's gonna abort my child. It was our decision to have sex, and its OUR decision to decide if she keeps the baby or not. I know all the girls are going to be saying that its her baby and that its her decision to keep the baby or not. But I'm not trying to hear any of that bull sh**, because its my child too and I should have a say in what happens to it. We knew what we were doing when we didn't use protection, and its not right to end a child's life because of because of our careless mistakes. She had me fuc*** up if she thought she was about to pull this. I pulled up at her house and texted her.

"Come outside."

I texted her with no context.

"Tre, what are you doing outside my house?"

"Come outside before I come inside.

I texted her.

"Your not coming in here. My parents are sleep and your a** is grass if they hear you."

"Yeah Ight."

I replied. I got out of my car after putting it on park. I began to bang on her door until she came out.

BROOKLYN

I got up and ran to the door. My dad started to yell from the other room.

"Brooklyn, what is that?"

My dad yelled.

"My bad, dad, my desk fell down in my room."

"Stop with all that da** noise, I gotta work in the morning to pay these bills yall keep giving me."

He replied with an attitude. I opened the door to see Tre standing there, looking down at me. I closed the door behind me and began to walk down the sidewalk away from my house. My parents didn't know that I was pregnant, and I didn't want them to find out from me and Tre's arguing. He followed behind me as we began to walk down the sidewalk.

"So you really not gong to say anything, huh?"

"There's nothing for me to say."

"Alright, well I'll do the talking. I think we should keep the baby."

"I'm not having the baby, Tre. I made that very clear the last time we spoke."

I said. I don't know what it was going to take to convince him. He's just to stubborn.

"You being mad selfish right now, moe. I get that your the one who has to deliver the baby and all, but its not fair that your the only one to decide what happens to our child. It was our choice to have unprotected sex, so now we have to face the consequences. If anything, having a child is a blessing from God."

"Blessing is definitely an interesting word. I'm pretty sure this baby will be less than beneficial for us, and if not you, then me. I'm 18 and I just started my last year of highschool. I'm not suitable for a baby right now. I still have plans to go to college, and I cant do that trying to take care of a baby. This is not up for discussion."

I said, walking back toward the direction of my house. He grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. He looked down at me making our eyes meet. We stared at each other until he began to speak.
