Roxanne(Completed)

1

I'm pregnant...I'm pregnant...I'm pregnant. "Roxanne!" I flushed the toilet and hid the test. He opened the door. "Hurry up."

"I'm sorry. I'm leaving now." I walk pass him. "Yo dumbass already missed the bus. So walk and if you be late I will beat your ass. Understand me?"

"Yes."

"Yes who!"

"Yes sir."

"Good girl. Now go." I grabbed my bookbag and left the house. I can't believe I'm pregnant. It's my dad's baby. He's been hurting me ever since mom left. No one knows but him and I. My friends don't even know. My other family members don't know. My dad's birthday is soon and I'm gonna surprise him with a baby....I hate my life.

Unknown POV

"Ma. Ma open the door please."

"No Micah. Your on drugs."

"Ma please. Please."

"Micah get away from my door."

"Let me in ma. Please I'm sorry. Please it's not safe for me to be out here alone ma please." She unlocked it and slowly opened it. I hugged her. "I'm sorry ma."

"Go clean up Micah.".

Back to Roxanne
"Hey girl."

"Hey guys.."

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

"Oh okay well. We're meeting at Jessie's house after school. You coming Roxie?"

"Um no. I can't." Oh my God. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Oh my God. Maybe I'm farther along then I thought. I've been pregnant for a while then. Maybe a few weeks now. "Roxie? You okay?"

"I'm fine. I ate something bad yesterday."

"Oh okay well. I'll be outside waiting for you."

"Okay." Shit. They're gonna find out soon. I think I'm done. I wash my face and my hand. I walk out. "You okay?"

"Yeah."

"Here." She gave me some water. "Thank you."

"Your welcome come on. The other girls already went to class."

"Okay." Harley is my best friend. We've been friends since headstart. "So you can't come to Jessie's house today?"

"Uh no. I have work after school."

"Oh. Well I'll call you okay?"

"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a few weeks and today is my dad's birthday. I'm coming home from school. Walking from the bus stop. I'm here. "Hey baby."

"Hey."

"What you give me for my birthday?"

"Our baby."

"Baby? What are you talking about?"

"I'm pregnant."

"With my baby?"

"Yeah."

"You can't be pregnant with my baby."

"What do you mean?"

"Roxanne you gotta leave."

"Why? It's your baby. I'm not going anywhere."

"Who did you tell?"

"I didn't tell anyone."

"When you go see your mom don't tell her anything."

"If you kick me out that's where I'll go."

"Fine. You always find a way to fucking ruin my life." I run upstairs. I lock my door and cried.

Micah's POV
I just spent the last hour emptying my stomach. I'm getting all the drugs out of my system. "Micah?'

"What ma?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay." I'm going back to school tomorrow. I haven't been in a while. I was doped up on drugs. I don't know if I'ma go back to drugs or not. I'ma try not to. I think I'm done. "Ma I'ma go walking."

"Don't get caught with anyone okay?"

"I'm not." I walked out of the house after grabbing some chips so I won't pass out. Who is that? I'ma bump into her on purpose so I can talk to her. Here she comes. Oh shit she fell. "My bad." The first thing she did was hold her belly. Damn. "I'm sorry." I help her up. "Thanks." Her eyes are so pretty. "Okay um. I didn't mean to knock you down. Are you expecting?"

"Yes. I have to go."

"No no no. You look hungry. My mom is cooking."

"I don't know you."

"We can get to know each other. You obviously need food and I don't mean that in a bad way."

"Okay."

"Do you go to school?"

"Yeah."

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen."

"Sixteen? How are you pregnant?"

"None of your business okay?"

"Alright." Damn she rude. She probably got a lot on her mind. "What's your name?"

"Roxanne."

"That's cute."

"Thanks. What's yours?"

"I'm Micah."

"Yours is cute also."

"Thank you. I like the name Roxanne. Who named you? Mom or dad?"

"My mom did. I'm named after her. Her name is Roxanna."

"My mom also named me. I've never met my dad before."

"Oh I'm sorry." She then mumbled something. "It's okay well. We're here." He opened the door. "Ma!" She came out of the kitchen. "Who is this?"

"This is Roxanne. My friend." She came up to us. "Hi Roxanne."

"Hey-." She then started falling and I caught her. I laid her on the couch. "Is she okay?"

"She's just hungry. " I fanned her. "So where did you find her?"

"She was running from her house I think."

"Oh. How old is she?"

"She's sixteen."

"Oh. Well I'm almost done with dinner so I'll get her some food as fast as I can."

"Do you have some crackers or something?"

"Uh graham crackers?"

"Just anything ma." She grabbed it. "Roxanne..you okay?" Her eyes slowly opened. She sat up. "I'm fine I shouldn't be here."

"No you have to stay. Here eat these until my mom finishes dinner." She laid back down. "Sweetheart when was the last time you ate?"

"I don't know. I don't remember."

"Why haven't you been eating?"

"We just don't have a lot of food at home." My mom looked at me. "Well baby your welcomed back anytime to eat."
"Um thanks. But I don't know how long I can stay."

"Just eat a little bit so you won't pass out on the sidewalk."

"Can I just take the crackers and leave? My dad will be mad if I don't come soon."

"Okay. I'll take you."

"No I'll walk."

"Oh okay."
