Incarcerated

Chapter 9

Today was the day that I was gonna tell my sister and Jayden I was pregnant. I was 5 months and I wasn't really showing but I was feeling it more and more everyday. I was always tired and hungry, and moody. Jordan was mad that I was still staying here and wanted me home with him every night. I just didn't know how to tell them I was moving out and pregnant all in one sentence.

Hey can I talk to y'all.! I said coming into the kitchen. Jas was cooking and Jayden was sitting at the table feeding our niece Janae.

What's going on now Promise.? Jas asked annoyed.

Look I know you about to have another baby and you can use the extra room. I been filling  out applications and stuff and I got a small part time job at Walmart to support me and my family......

What family.?Jayden asked confused.

Look ima just say it.....I'm moving out.! I turn 18 in a couple months. I have a job now and me and Jordan found a apartment downtown the cider apartments. And before y'all say anything yes we got approved and yes we already signed the lease. I already have my keys and we been moved in. Jas you can have my room for the babies..... this house would just be to crowed for three babies.!

It's only two.! Jayden said standing up.

About damn time.! Jas said relived smiling.

You knew.? I questioned and she was smiling.

Girl I knew you a was pregnant before you knew you was pregnant.! Jas smiled hard hugging me.

You pregnant.? Jayden asked annoyed.

Yeah I'm sorry:! I have a job and a place to live though Jay. I can do this.!

That's not the point Promise your only 17. And your still in school which you don't even go.

Well now I have to because I have a child to live for. Jordan is a big help and I'm not doing this alone.

How you know he's not gone leave you when shit get tough didn't he just cheat on you.? Jayden yelled.

You can never be happy for me. The fuck.! This is why I don't tell y'all shit.! You never give Jordan any credit..... we have damn near everything we do because of him.! Since the moment I told him I was pregnant he's been on his best behavior and grinding for our daughter. I don't need this shit honestly.

Your too young to have a baby Promise and that's just that. I don't wanna hear shit and I won't be here to help you with anything. This is why I don't like you now, yo dumb ass always make the dumbest decisions. He yelled.

Well I'm fuckin sorry I'm not the perfect fuckin teen Jayden.! I'm sorry I have a fucked up life and attitude. I'm fuckin sorry you feel that way.! This the last time you gotta worry about seeing me.! Me and my daughter will be just fine. I cried. I grabbed my bag off the floor by the door to leave.

Now wait a minute.! Jayden your dead ass wrong.! Promise come here.! Jas said coming after me. "If you need anything and I mean anything call me.! If you want you can have some Janae old things.!" Jas was saying after me. I got In the car with Jordan and I couldn't even look at him.

How did it go.?

Just take me home please. I said wiping my tears.

I always knew Jayden didn't like me I never thought he would actually say it though.! He was suppose to be my big brother and congratulate me and give me good advice but he always did the opposite instead.
