Two weeks later

"3 in one, 3 in one, 3 in one" Bambi repeated to herself over and over as she paced back in forth in her room.

The fact that she had sex with 3 men in one weekend would never sit well with her. She had even been trying to come up with excuses for why she did but there was none.

Lust had been a complete bitch and now here she was. Growing tired of pacing Bambi plopped onto her bed and picked up her phone.

Call me when you go on break.

Bambi sent the text to her mama and sat the phone down on the bed next to her. It was going on 1 in the afternoon and Bambi had decided to stay home from school. It was a rainy day which didn't help her sad mood at all. Bambi hadn't felt this bad about herself in a long time. Everything that was going on was starting to take a big toll on her mentally, physically and especially emotionally. Of all the shit she'd done in life, Bambi had never done anything as promiscuous as what she did.  

At this point she desperately needed someone to talk to and as scared as she was to hear what her mother was going to say Bambi knew she was the right person to talk to. Despite how mad she might be.

For the past two weeks she had been ducking and dodging every body especially Nate. It had been hard to hide from Roland see as though lived next door but Bambi did it.

She had no plans on talking to either one of them to be honest. What would she say?

Hey nice having sex with you.

It took Lauren about twenty minutes to call Bambi which was fine with her she didn't have shit else to do.

"What's up baby?" Lauren said as Bambi picked up the call.

"Ma I really need to talk to you and I don't want you to be mad, or judge me or disown or feel like I'm a failure."

"You pregnant?!" she yelled loudly making Bambi take the phone away from her ear for a second. "No ma."

"So what else could be that serious?"

"Just promise you will hear me out" Bambi sniffled as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Go ahead."

"I cheated on Flip" she as she held her breath waiting for her mama to curse her out.

"With Nate?"

"And my new neighbor."

"Bambi what?!" she yelled and it sounded like she dropped something.

"I know ma, I'm a hoe and I feel so bad" Bambi was full on ugly face crying.

"Bambi calm down before you end up having a panic attack!" she scolded as Bambi tried to stop her crying.

"Listen to me, I may be a little mad but you recognize your mistakes so I'm not going to point them out. All I can tell you is that you need to come clean to Flip. I know my child and I know your conscience is a bitch."

"It is, every time he calls I feel so horrible. But I love him so much."

"I know you do but you love Nate as well."

She was right about that.

"Just do what I say and whatever happens Bambi you're going to have to live with it. You made this decision so be a woman and accept whatever outcome."

"Okay."

"I love you Bambi, never think I don't. I'll call you later I gotta go back in."

"I love you to ma" Bambi ended the call and fell back onto her bed tears still streaming down her face. Shit was fucked up and it was all her fault.

Bria came skipping into Bambi's room carrying two takeout boxes from a nearby Chinese restaurant. She sat the plates down before she left out again and came back with a bottle of Pink Moscato and a six count package of Bambi's favorite cheesecake icing cupcakes from Publix.

"This my friend, is for us. I don't know what happened to make you so sad and even if you don't want to talk to me about whatever is going on just know a real bitch is here for you."

Bambi laughed and pulled Bria into a hug. "Thanks Bria, I need this."

"No prob Rob" she said getting onto the bed. They sat side by side as Bria began eating and Bambi looked for something to watch.

Bambi knew Bria was most likely waiting for her to talk but she didn't know where to start. How did you come out and say that you had sex with 3 men. That shit didn't even sound right in her mind.

Talking to her mama was easy because Bambi's mother was probably one of the least judgmental people she'd ever met.

Not saying Bria was, but it was just harder for her to talk to Bria about it.

"I'm waiting" Bria said shoving a fork full of rice into her mouth.

"I'm scared to tell you."

Bria looked at her with wide eyes "you pregnant?"

"No you sound like my mama."

"So what is it?"

Bambi stayed quiet for a while, she picked over her food until she felt comfortable enough to talk. "I had sex with Nate and Roland."

"The devil is a lie" Bria dramatically clutched as her chest.

"I'm serious, so if you wanna call me a hoe get it out now."

"You a nasty hoe, a dirty thot, a trifling whore."

Bambi eyes widened as she looked at Bria in shock. "What the fuck?"

"Bitch you just gave me a free pass to call you a hoe, you damn right I took it."

"Bria this is some real shit, what do I do?"

"There's no right thing to do when you cheat on someone but come clean. It's going to hurt him and you but you made the mistake."

"You right" Bambi said nodding her head.

"Did you use protection?"

Bambi had been trying to push that part of it all out of her mind. When Bambi didn't say anything Bria knew that she hadn't.

"Bitch we're going to the clinic in the morning. We don't play that STD bullshit over here."

"What if I have something?"

"More importantly what if you have something and you're pregnant? That's a fucked up combination" Bria laughed just thinking about it. 

"Stop saying that shit, I'm not pregnant and even if I was I wouldn't have the baby" she said solemnly.

There was no way she was about to become a walking episode of Maury. One baby and three possible baby daddies.

"What?! You always say you don't like abortions" Bria could remember having multiple conversations with Bambi on how she felt about abortions, and on most occasions she didn't like them.

"I said it depends on the situation. Of course I don't like the loss of life in anyway but if a woman gets raped and end up pregnant I think she should have the choice. But if a bitch is just being a hoe than no."

"Like you were?"

Bambi hadn't thought about it like that.

"It doesn't matter I'm not pregnant."

"Imagine how cliché that shit would be if you were. Girl has sex with two men-"

"Three" Bambi interrupted.

"Three?"

"You remember telling me on that Saturday how loud me and Flip were."

"Bitch I know you are lying, that's three niggas in one weekend" Bria basically yelled as she held up three fingers.

"Don't rub it in" Bambi groaned as she picked up the bottle of moscato and started to drink it until Bria snatched the bottle away from her.

"You may or may not be carrying my future niece or nephew. Bitch you aren't drinking until we get some test results" Bria said before taking a long swig of the drink.

Bambi wanted to be mad at her but she couldn't. She knew the chances of her being pregnant were higher than the chances of her not. She could already feel the drama waiting to happen if she did end up pregnant.

Nothing good would come out of it except for a new life.
