Laila's Pov

•2 months later•

Since Jayceon found about me stripping, I decided to stop completely. I was now in school to become a Registered Nurse; something I've always wanted.

Jayceon was never home, I was always alone with Aaliyah. Aaliyah, Kandy, and Me were like a trio. We did everything together.

It was a early Saturday morning I jolted out of bed and ran to the bathroom to throw up. I released the contents of last nights dinner in the toilet. This has been a constant issue for a month now.

I flushed the toilet, stood and walked over to the sink. I look at my reflection, i couldn't believe i was letting myself go. I obviously put on a couple of pounds. Plus i was extremely moody too everyone.

I ran my fingers through my matted curls. My hair was in the need of a deep condition. Lately i was so out of it, not in the mood for anything.

"Aye, Lay come eat sum!" Jay yelled from downstairs, my eyes went wide. I had to make myself look presentable for him, well for me. So, quickly and efficiently i wet my hair adding some leave in. After some time, I looked healthier, more awake.

..................................................

"How class going?" Jay asked, lately he has been trying to make conversation with me.

"Fine." i mumbled, i just wanted to get back to my bed, finish my homework, and take a nap.

"You Pregnant?" Jay blurted out, he had a straight look plastered across his face as he ate his eggs. i sat there, i didn't answer i didn't say anything. i wasn't sure if i was, i haven't had my period in a while, plus that would explain the constant mood swings and puking. I sat there thinking for a moment. Without warning i jumped up, i ran to my room and grabbed my phone. I clicked on Clare's contact and rapidly typed a paragraph.

Me// Clare, I know it's early. But there's a possibility that I could be pregnant. You were the last person I've had sex with. I didn't think too much about it until Jayceon said something. Maybe we should get a pregnancy test together.

I slammed down on my bed and groaned out of anger. Tears spilled from my eyes, I couldn't believe I was pregnant by Clarence. I was in the middle of a crying fit. I suddenly remembered.

I also had sex with Anthony.

Clarence🔹// Meet me at Starbucks or sum. I'm on my way now.

He handed me a bag, inside where 5 boxes of expensive pregnancy test. He told me he had to make sure, Women always tried to claim they were pregnant. I wasn't sure if I was but I gladly took the bag, and went to the public bathroom.

I was indeed pregnant, Clare stood by the door. I grabbed all the test to making sure I wasn't hallucinating, but I was actually pregnant. I quickly walked out the bathroom and handed them to Clare. A smile creeped across his face.

Omniscient

Clarence felt a wave of happiness wash over him. He's been trying to have a child for the longest, and he couldn't believe it was a girl Jayceon wanted. He was going to hold this over Jay's head for years to come.
He shoved the test in the pocket of his puffer jacket and hugged a crying Laila.
Laila cried hard, she cried because she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was, and that she was going to be a parent so young. Even though she knew it wasn't going to be easy she was ready for the obstacle that life was about to throw at her.

Clarence whispered sweet nothings in her ear. He made promises in her ear.
"Let's go get you a condo."

"I promise I won't leave you two, I'll give you both the best life. I promise"

This is short, but something quick.
