A/N: Unedited so excuse typos pls. Sorry I took so long with this. The semester has started and I have a new set of classes I have to get used to. I'll try to update this book twice a week though. Umm, the drama is about to kick in chapter 23  so this chapter is kind of bleh. Jordyn Woods was on Quavo's snapchat and I thought it was funny cause they're Amaru and Sonnell in this story.

Amaru Kelly

I should have known it wouldnt go well. My dad always favored me although he wont ever admit it. Knowing I disppointed him is what hurts me the most. It makes you feel like shit knowing you disappointed someone you really love and care about. My dad was the best and always expected the best of me. Even when my my mom felt like giving up on me, he would always convince her not to.

I was always the troublemaking child, but everytime I would do something wild, my dad would punish me but I knew better than to do it again. I never really had the same respect for my mom as I did him. I was never sure why, but he's always been the perfect example of what a man should be.

So why did I choose the most idiotic nigga on earth to lay down with? Why have I thrown all self respect out the window for him? Why have I let go of all my values to hold on to Sonnell? Being a complete fool for someone who hasnt even said he loves me back, but I couldnt stop. He had a hold on me for some reason.

I was currently sitting in the car with him on our way to where ever. I wasnt going to question him because it would call for attitude on his part and an argument that I was too tired to deal with. I had cried my eyes out last night after being scolded by my parents and I was not up for going back and forth with Sonnie.

I glanced over at him. He had one hand on the steering wheel and in the other, he had a cup of henny. To me, it was a bit too early for him to be sipping but whatever floats his boat I guess.

"Who did your hair?" I asked him, running my hands over his fresh retwist.

"Went to the salon" he cleared his throat and said. I nodded as he finally pulled up into a parking lot.

I was still rubbing over his hair but stopped once I saw where we were.

He couldnt be serious...

"Why are we here?" I asked him.

"Aint they teach ya'll context clues in school?" he chuckled.

I shook my head. "Please stop playing right now. Are you fucking crazy?! I'm not doing it." I couldnt believe he was doing this.

"Who the fuck you yellin' at? I told you. You not 'bout to pin a fuckin' child on me that ion even want. So we 'bout to go in this fuckin' place, and get this shit over wit'. Its 'dat simple."

"Its not that simple! This is a baby. Not something you can just throw away. I dont care if you dont want to be in my child's life. You will not force me to abort my baby" I wiped the tears that began falling down my face.

"Getcho ass out the car man. Ion have time to play witcho ass. I got shit to do" he complained snapping at me. I stayed quiet and didnt move. There was no way in hell I was going to have an abortion.

"Get out the car or I swear you gon' wish you did" he said while staring at me. I stared put the window and ignored him still.

He chuckled darkly. "Bet. You wanna play? I got somethin' for yo ass."

He started the car and began driving. What had I gotten myself into?

Athena Kelly

You know that feeling where everything just seems wrong? You dont quite know whats wrong but you know something bad is happening or is going to happen. That feeling when you're quiet and cautious, where everyone wants to know whats wrong with you.

I was having that feeling. My sister wasnt here either so that was making me feel even worse. I had no idea where she was.

I've spent my first two class periods silent and antsy. I dont know what was going on but I was worried and the worry would not go away. I was walking down the hallway to get to my next class. It was on the other side of school so I had about a four minute walk.

I walked as slow as possible because I didnt want to go but I had to, so if I was late, that would be a nice in between. I didnt want to go either because I had been avoiding Boyd. I knew he'd sense something was off. He was very observant.

To my dismay, a hand slid around my shoulders and Boyd leaned down to kiss my forehead. "Wassup? Why you ain't answer my messages?" he asked me as we continued walking together.

"I havent checked my phone today" I lied.

"Why not?"

I shrugged. "I dont feel like dealing with anyone."

He stopped us and turned me to him before looking down at me. "You okay?"

I instantly felt my stomach turn. It felt hard to breathe and my heart was beating crazy.

"Athena, you good?" I heard Boyd ask me again. I felt dizzy at this point and I knew I was having a panic attack so I shook my head no. I grabbed his arm to hold myself up. Before I knew it, I was crying and Boyd was carrying me somewhere.

He sat me down at a table by the basketball court at the back of the school and wiped my face. "Calm down" he coached me. I shook my head and finally started to feel myself grow calm.

"You calm?" he asked me. I sniffled and pushed my hair out of my face before nodding. Boyd sat down beside me. "Whats on yo mind that gotchu spazzin'?"

I coughed and answered. "My sister isnt here and i'm worried. I dont know where she is. I know she's most likely okay but I have a bad feeling. She wont answer the phone. I havent seen her since yesterday when her and my parents had an argument."

"You worry entirely too much about her. I know she always fuckin' up and shit but you seem like you always trynna fix her mistakes. You gotta let that shit go" he said.

"Everytime I dont, something bad happens. Thats why i'm afraid."

"The bad only happens 'cause she makin' mistakes but 'dass the only way some people learn. When you realize that is when you gotta say fuck it and let them do what the gotta do to get they life lessons."

I rubbed my temples and nodded. I guess he was right. Amaru never seemed to learn when she did things wrong.

"Yo sister been driving you fuckin' crazy while you self destructin' and dealin' wit'cho own shit" Boyd said. I agreed.

"Thank you" I said to him.

He nodded. "Come on. We already 'bout late as hell."

I giggled and grabbed my bag and phone. When I finally stood, Boyd was just staring at me. I looked at him funny. "What?"

He grinned wide like he always does and pulled me close to him."What are yo-" Before I could finish my sentence, his lips were on mine. We kissed for a few seconds until I pulled away. Both of us were grinning like idiots. T

hat was our first time kissing each other.

"Lets go now" I laughed.

"Go where?" he asked.

I sucked my teeth. "Uhh, class Mr.'We're already late'. My parents will kill me if I skip or miss another class."

He nodded and we started walking finally. "You sure you alright tho'? Ion want'chu passin' out on the floor of the class."

I chuckled. "I'm fine." I assured him, though I wasn't really sure if I was telling the truth.

I was okay, for now.
