" You straight ? " Dwight asked noticing Karter hadn't said anything since he picked him up from school. He always picked him up when Keyarri had to work.

" Yeah " Karter mumbled looking out the window.

Dwight looked at him and then back at the road ahead " Nah.. something's bothering you " he said

Karter moved around in his seat a little. " Uncle Kasuan won't even put me on to the game.. I don't want his money, I wanna' make my own money but of course everything gotta' go his way "

Dwight chuckled " Man you know you not ready to play with the big dogs "

" I am ready, give me some work and I'll show you I'm ready " Karter replied sounding confident. He wanted money, fast money.

Dwight looked at him again for a second. " Let's keep this between me and you iight ? "

" Okay "

" I'll start you off with ounce of weed, and see how you do with that.. if you do good, I'll up your supply. " Dwight said, Karter smiled. " Don't make me regret this Karter.. I'm trusting you "

" You won't I swear " Karter replied.

The weeks went by and Sehkani and Aaliyah weren't on speaking terms at all. He had blocked her off all his social media accounts and her number, Aaliyah couldn't lie she missed her a lot and not talking to him had her sick but she wasn't about to kiss his ass no matter how much she loved him, it was more to the story behind the video and Sehkani was just too childish to listen.

Sehkani hot boxed his car and smoked two blunts before walking inside the house, he heard talking coming from the kitchen but payed it no mind.

He started to walk up the stairs " Sehkani " Kennedy said stopping him

" What ? "

" Somebody's here and they want to talk to you " She said pulling her hair behind her ear and crossing her arms over her chest

" Who ?" He asked starting to walk back down the stairs

" Come see " Kennedy said before walking back to the kitchen. Sehkani slowly walked into the kitchen and found Aria, Naomi and Aaliyah sitting at the kitchen table.

" The fuck she doing here?" Sehkani said, he didn't want anything to do with Aaliyah. It was bad enough the whole school had clowned him for getting cheated on.

" Don't start-

" I should just go, this was a bad idea" Aaliyah said cutting Kennedy off. She stood up and grabbed her purse, Naomi tried to stop her from leaving " No, im not about to sit here and listen to him play victim "

" Man let her leave " Sehkani said

" Fuck you Sehkani " Aaliyah yelled

" Fuck you bitch "

Aaliyah walked up to him and got in his face " Call me a bitch again " she said

" Man Naomi you better get this hoe out my face " Sehkani said moving back. It was taking all of him not to hit her right now.

" You gone tell him your pregnant or should I ?" Kennedy said , she was getting annoyed with their arguing and wanted to get to the point. Sehkani eyes widened and his heart dropped

" Pregnant ?"

" Yes Sehkani you got this girl pregnant, that's why she's here " Kennedy said. Kennedy was like a big sister to Sehkani and was always trying to get him to get his shit together, she knew this would happen one day, her cousin was WILD.

" She can speak for herself " Sehkani said, he looked at Aaliyah " You pregnant? " . She looked up at him with tears in her eyes and nodded her head yes. Sehkani let out a deep sigh. " Can y'all give us some privacy? " he asked

" Come on y'all " Kennedy said before they all left the kitchen. Sehkani sat down at the table and Aaliyah sat down in front of him.

" You sure you pregnant? " he asked, he couldn't believe it.

" I took four test and they all came out positive. "

Damn, he thought to himself.

" So what are we gonna' do? I'm not ready for a kid.. " he admitted. He wasn't lying, he wasn't ready to be a dad at all and his parents would kill him. He was already struggling to graduate on time the last thing he needed was a baby right now. " How do you even know it's mine ? " he added bringing up the video of her that ended their relationship

" I wasn't having sex with anybody else but you Sehkani, my ex hacked my Instagram and posted the video because I told him I didn't want him anymore and he found out I was dating someone else.. I would never cheat on you, I'm not a cheater "

Sehkani began to feel bad, he should've known she would never intentionally post her sex tape on Instagram.

" And about the baby, I'm not keeping it " she admitted " So you don't have to worry .. I just felt like you should know. If you don't want me anymore that's fine and I understand " Aaliyah looked up at him " can you atleast come to the clinic with me ? "

" Yeah, I'll take you " Sehkani said ignoring her comment about their relationship, he really didn't want anything to do with her and after the abortion he was really done with her.

****

Aaliyah waited at her house the next day for Sehkani to take her to her doctors appointment. She had called and texted him at least fifty times with no answer, she knew if she waited on him any longer she would miss her doctors appointment so she left on her own and Naomi met her at the clinic.

Aaliyah parked her car and headed towards the building. She saw a group of protesters with signs in front of the building

" STOP ABORTIONS NOW " one protester yelled

" A murderer will not see the king of the heaven " a middle aged white man yelled

" LET THE BABIES LIVE " a young black woman yelled

Aaliyah did her best to ignore them until a middle aged white woman approached. " It's not too late, save your baby " she said. A nurse from the clinic swooped in to get Aaliyah out of the situation. " Save your baby, abortion is a sin " she said as Aaliyah and the nurse walked into the clinic.

When inside, Aaliyah burst out into tears and the nurse consoled her. " It's okay sweetie, this is your choice... don't let them get to you " she said

Aaliyah was against abortions but right now she felt like it was the best thing to do for herself, she wasn't ready to be a mom and Sehkani wasn't ready to be a dad so she went through with the procedure with Naomi right by her side and hours later she was no longer pregnant.
