It Starts With Us

13.

I woke up out of my sleep to constant buzzing and whoever it was, it must've been real important. It just had to be. I grabbed my phone from the dresser ignoring all the instagram notifications that I had silenced while I slept. I was used to it by now. I had several message but the first one that caught my eye was Khalil's. I opened our text thread.

I was confused on what he was so upset about. I clicked the link and it was a picture of me and Chris that I don't remember taking. I had heard of pregnancy brain before, but I knew I had never taken the picture. It had made it to the ShadeRoom and my supporters were going crazy. I took the time to respond to Khalil who was just as confused and unaware as I was.

Me:
idk where that picture came from, i didn't take it.

babydaddy🤰🏽🤍:
wym you didn't take it, where tf did it come from and who even is this nigga?

babydaddy🤰🏽🤍:

Me:

Me:

My hands shook rapidly as I typed. I did a breathing exercise that often helped when I used to have panic attacks. I hadn't had one in a while.

babydaddy🤰🏽🤍:
I don't even too much gaf about that, where did the pictures come from if you didn't take it. You sound bout stupid as hell.

Me:

Me:
i went to his house ONCE to cook for him. he pulled me into his lap tb he wanted to be more than friends and i shot him down.
Me:
