Bloom

Chapter 12

💙Troy💙

I'm home. It was a long drive but I'm here. I told my momma everything that happened. She said I should go talk to Grace in person and I am.

...

I rung the bell and waited. Grace's momma opened the door a few seconds later. She rolled her eyes. "What do you want?", she asked. I'm guessing she heard.

"Can I talk to Grace?", I asked.

"She's on a date."

"We both know that's not true. Please let me in." I told her a quick version of what happened. She held her chest. "What's wrong?"

"She's at the clinic.", she said.

"What?", I asked confused.

"She's getting an abortion at the clinic on 12th." My heart dropped as I ran to my car damn near falling as I did.

So much shit is rushing through my head as I'm speeding.

💜Grace💜

"You can put your legs right up here.", the doctor said. I put my legs up after a minute. I don't think I should do this. "You're going to feel a little pinch then you'll go numb.", he said. I closed my legs.

"I changed my mind.", I said quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. Y'all can keep the money just let me go." They looked at each other then the doctor nodded.

"Okay, we'll leave so you can put your clothes back on. I'll come talk with you in a minute.", he said. I nodded then they left.

"I'm so sorry baby, I'll never do no dumb shit like that again. I may not be ready but trust me I'm gonna become ready. I love you." I got dressed.

...

While I was walking out I saw Troy getting out of his car. He walked to me and held my hands. "Grace please, please don't tell me you did it. Please don't tell me you killed our baby.", he said with tears in his eyes. He looks so hurt and sad and scared. "I promise I will tell you the truth about what happened and will do whatever you want me to just please tell me our baby is still in there.", he said crying a little.

"I didn't go through with it.", I said. He ran his hands down his face.

"Can we talk?"

"Maybe later." I ran to my car. What in the fuck is he doing back?!

...

"I talked to his momma and she told me the same story. I also did my own research.", my momma said.

"You lying. For one his momma ain't gone answer your call cause you just cussed her out yesterday.", I said.

"I knew you'd think I was lying so I recorded both of my conversations." She grabbed out her spare phone then played me two recordings. They were about 30 minutes all together. One was Troy's momma and the other was the school. I guess they're telling the truth.
