Roxanne(Completed)

5

I missed a few days of school to figure out some stuff. Micah is taking me.  I think I'll tell them at lunch. "You okay?"

"I feel better than usual."

"That's good. When you tell your friends. Are you gonna tell them about your dad?"

"I don't know yet."

"Oh. "My phone rang. "Hello?"

"Roxanne.."

"Hm?"

"Come back home. I miss you."

"Is dad still there?"

"He wants to apologise."

"Apologise? For getting me pregnant? No mom."

"He didn't mean to baby. He was drunk and on drugs."

"So basically your forgiving him for raping me. That really shows how much you care." I hung up.

~~~~~~~
I sat at the table. "Hey girl. It's been forever. Why haven't you called?"

"Guys. I've had so much on my mind lately and I'm telling you right now that I'm giving birth to a baby boy in three months." They stared at me. "Your pregnant?"
"Yeah."

"Fucking disgusting." Laura and Harley stayed while the other girls left. I put my head down. "It's okay bestie. Me, you, and Laura will do this together."

"Yeah we got you." They both hugged me. "Thank you guys."

"Your welcome. So the baby is really coming in three months?"

"Yeah. I'm naming him Joshua."

"Joshua I really like that."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Im so sorry for not telling you guys when I found out."

"It's fine. I understand why you really yelled at me that one time."

"Yeah..."

"Are you hungry?"

"I'm very hungry.'

"Let's eat then girl."

~~~~~~~~~~~~
I feel so much better now that everyone knows. I don't have to hide it anymore. The door opened. "Someone is here to see you."

"Who?"

"They refuse to come in."

"Oh okay." I got up and followed her downstairs. "Oh. Derrick."

"I'm your dad."

"What do you need Derrick?"

"I wanna be in the baby's life." I laugh. "Um no. I was gonna let you see him but you told mom I was pregnant and she's taking your side over me so. I know you didn't mean to but you also didn't mean to beat me up, send me to the hospital, threaten me, not feed me, got custody of me for your own pleasure, and got me pregnant so. My baby will not have a dad. Bye." I tried to close the door. "Roxanne. You can't keep him away from me. He needs a dad."

"Your my dad. I'll find someone else to take care of him. Your his grandpa. Actually your nothing to him. So leave."

"Roxanne. Let's work this out."

"No Derrick. I don't have time. I have homework to do."

"Tell me how I can fix this."

"You shouldn't have told mom in the first place but it doesn't matter because she believes that it was a accident."

"You know I didn't want you pregnant."

"Obviously. No one wants a baby with their family member. You raped me constantly Derrick. A baby was bound to happen."

"And I'm sorry for that."

"Just leave Derrick. Sorry won't help out anything."

"Roxanne..." I closed the door and locked it then I ran upstairs. I started crying. "Roxanne? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Your crying."

"I'm fine Kat."

"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Here's breakfast. My mom's worried about you."

"I'm fine."

"You haven't came out of here in a while."

"I'm fine Micah."

"Okay." He walked out. I'm still having mixed feelings about my dad. I'm not letting him in my baby's life. I'm just thinking about all the times he raped me. Where he didn't care about me and probably still doesn't. He only cares about Joshua. No one cares about me. I need to eat. My baby is really hungry. I'm so ready to see him. He'll be my first priority when I have him. I don't really want to but I don't know if I can go back to school. I have two months until school is out. Then I'll have him in the summer but I don't know who will take care of him. I'm not running away anymore. My mom knows so. The only reason I would've ran away was so that I could come to show them my baby so they're surprised and then I leave again. "Roxanne. Your mom is here."

"Tell her to leave."

"Okay." I heard running and then my door opened. "Roxanne."

"What?"

"What is the baby?"

"None of your business."

"I wanna buy clothes for them."

"I don't need you too. My friends are."

"Do you have things for them? A crib? Diapers? Baby stuff?"

"Not yet."

"I can get that for you baby. I also want you to come home. I know what I did and I'm sorry. Your dad is gone. I kicked him out and I'm getting custody of you if that's what you want."

"I'll think about it mom."

"Okay. I love you sweetheart." She walked out. If any of my parents could take back the fact that I'm pregnant I would forgive them in a snap. Maybe just my mom. My dad there's no way I'm forgiving him.
