I flipped over my soaking wet pillow for the  third time in this hour. I laid my head back on it but it only sloshed.

I launched it across the room but didn't hear it hit the ground.

I looked over in the direction in which I threw it and Joey held it in his hands.

"Lo stop crying." He said dropping it

"Lo? Don't you mean hoe?" I asked trying to make a pillow out of my cover

"Lo I didn't mean that." He said sitting down on the edge of the bed

I looked over his shadow due to the room being dark with the small slither of light coming for the living room

"I wanted to tell you even Kwon told me to tell how but how do you tell your boyfriend your pregnant and it ain't his?" I asked more to myself than anything

"It should of been easy because I wasn't your boyfriend."

"Yea. Your friend wrecks your prom to have you and he's not your boyfriend." I said sarcastically

"Lo."

"You aren't my boyfriend but I was your girlfriend." I said to myself

"Lo you had a kid. Not by me." He said looking at me

I played with my fingers

"I don't regret my son."

"I didn't say you had too. But he could of been mine. That's the thing. I love you London and its fucking me up that he not mine." He said looking away

"Joey. I don't know what to say." I commented as I rose up from the bed

I rested against the dresser that stood in front of him.

"I don't know what to say but...I love you too." I said lowly making him look up at me

He rose up hovering over me.

He trailed his hand from my shoulder to waist grasping it when he got to it. He pulled me close to him and looked down into my face.

I stared back up at him with wonder.
