"Relax." Sheik told me. We're currently waiting in the doctors room waiting for the results of the pregnancy test. My leg will not stop bouncing up and down and I'm continuously messing around with my hands.

"Yeah everything is gonna be fine." Hailey said.

Tariq isn't here because he had to handle something. We got into a small argument over it because this is very important and he should be present. He's the reason i'm here now.

But I keep forgetting he has his shit that he deals with and he won't always be around I guess.

"I'll be able to relax once I know wassup." I said to the both of them.

The door open and my doctor came inside with her clipboard.

"So the results came back for the test and they came back-"

"Hold up I got a quick question." Hailey interrupted. 

"Can that shit wait? We got important stuff to worry about than whatever you about to say." Sheik said in an annoyed tone.

"It is important. So I recently cut the middle of my nail while I was shaving-"

"Anyways Dr. Nelly, what's the results?"

Dr. Nelly gave Hailey a weird look before focusing her attention back to me. "As I was saying Ms. Hart, the results came back negative."

Everybody in the room let out a breath of relief. Especially me.

"So I know that you're on birth control pills but since you may be having unprotected sex sometimes then an IUD would be a much more effective route than the pills. They last up to 5 years; the only problem is of course we can't do it but your gynecologist does."

"Condoms will most definitely be present for future instances." I said.

Nobody got time to be getting all that.

"She lying doctor. We gon be right back here sitting in the same position talking about the saaame thing." Sheik said.

I rolled my eyes. "It won't. Next time it will be intentional."

"Do you have any questions or concerns?"

"Umm, no. Thank you so much." I said with a smile.

"This sucks." Hailey said under her breath.

"What? Bitch i'm not pregnant! That's good news!"

"No I ain't get to finish asking my question about my nail."

Sheik stared at her and so did I.

Well okay then.

——————————

Sheik and Hailey dropped me back off at home. Their suppose to be picking me up again in two hours. We're going to a party that Hailey's cousin is throwing at some club. I think her name is Laila or something like that. I forgot.

"Hey Clara." I said to Clara when I walked in. She was sitting on the couch with her laptop in her lap. She turned around and looked back on her screen without saying anything to me.

I scrunched my face up. What's wrong with her?

"Too busy to speak?" I said completely without thinking.

She closed her laptop and stood up and started to walk towards me. 

"Listen lil girl. I'm not about to tolerate you being around if you trying to play games." She had her finger pointed in my face. I was very tempted to slap that shit away but I have to remember this is Tariq's mama.

"Who's trying to play games?" I asked honestly kind of confused.

She pulled my pregnancy test from out the pocket of her robe. "I done warned you about this.  Since you wanna be grown and get pregnant and shit you and Tariq both can get the hell out of here and go raise that baby on y'all own. Two kids tryna raise a kid. TUH i'd like to see it." She scoffed.

I tried to take the test from her hands but she snatched it away.

"Clara please let me see the test." I told her. I have a feeling she's looking at the wrong test.

"For what? My eyes ain't deceiving me. It says pregnant! I know how to read."

"Clara no I took two tests. One said Positive and the other said Negative. I just got back from the doctor and it was negative. I'm not pregnant." I explained to her. Her face softened up and she started scratching the top of her head.

She let out a sigh of relief. "Well that's good sweetheart. I apologize for talking to you like that. Just be prepared to have a nice looong discussion about protected sex with you and Tariq whenever he comes back home."

Great. Really looking forward to that.

an hour and a half later

I'm all ready for the party and now i'm just waiting for Hailey and Sheik to get here.

I ain't wearing nothing to extravagant because to be honest I'm not even in the party mood. I'm just going cuz they wouldn't stop bugging me about it and was saying i'm always stuck in the house.

What's wrong with staying at home all the time though? You don't gotta deal with nobody's bs. You can lounge around and chill. Eat all the food you want.

Home is heaven to me.

At least now it is.

Couldn't say that a few months ago.

I walked into the kitchen to grab a bottled water. "Uglahh." Justin said when I entered the Kitchen. He was sitting on the island and Tariq was leaning on the fridge.

"I'm far from ugly." I told him. Not even being faxed by his childish comment.

"Where you going?" Tariq asked me while looking me up and down.

"Out with some friends...move I want a water bottle." I said.

He smacked his lips and moved. "Oh alright have fun then."

"Nigga you ain't gon interrogate her about where she going?" Justin asked.

"Why would he do that? He trusts me."

"Exactly so shut yo swole head ass up nigga." Tariq told him. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Nigga mad cuz all the girls he had broke his heart." He said.

"Ion have a heart nigga. I break these bitches heart."

Me and Tariq looked at each other before busting out laughing.

"It's okay to admit that you got yo feelings hurt by a female." I said.

"I ain't finna lie. Y'all niggas better stop laughing at me fo I start spraying in this hoe."

"Cap Cap Cap." Tariq said while pointing in his face.

"Man move yo dirty ass finger out my face." Justin pushed his finger away from his face.

"The fuck you gon do about it?" Tariq pushed his head. Justin got off the island and pushed Tariq..who barely even moved.

A car horn was blown in the driveway. I already knew who it was.

"Alright i'm bout to go."

"Text me the address when you get there." Tariq told me.

He pulled me towards him and gave me a peck on the lips.

Justin made a gag noise. That nigga so childish for his age.

"These off guards of you though...bitch you is fine." Hailey said to me.

"Lemme see." I said.

She showed me the pictures she took off her phone.

"Eh. They aight." I said.

"You just look like you that bitch in these pics. I'm posting them to my snapchat."

"Okay who got the aux? Why ain't no music playing put some damn music on." Sheik said.

I always have the aux cuz my playlist is the hardest in here.

I scrolled through it and played Intro (Gangin) by SOB

We was all getting hype. Sheik was driving but me and Hailey was taking snaps and also posting to our insta stories.

Ain't gotta explain nothin' to me, you can say the shit
Stop starin' at me, make it last come and take a pic
Gang shit, none more nigga none less
And it's still fuck the suckas 'til they put to rest
Had to cut my last bitch off 'cause she was such a pest
Play the game how the fuck I want, I don't fuck wit' refs

We pulled up the party. Of course it was hard to find a parking spot cuz of all of these cars that was here.

When we walked in it was crowded. People was everywhere dancing, talking, and having a good time. The weed smell was strong too.

"I want you to meet Laila!" Hailey shouted to me over the loud music.

She grabbed my hand and started leading me through the crowd to get to her cousin. People are staring at me and it's making me very very very uncomfortable. Makes me wanna go hide somewhere lowkey.

I seen a light skin girl with long straight blonde hair wearing a tight white dress that stopped mid thigh and a black mini jacket.

She looked at Hailey and smiled while walking towards us. "You made it!" Her and Hailey gave each other a hug and I was just awkwardly standing here.

"Yup I brought a couple of friends too." She said.

"I'm Kyrah." I told her.

"Hey Kyrah! Glad you could make it to the party." She gave me a friendly hug.

"I'm Sheik." Sheik introduces himself. Laila eyed him up and down and licked her lips.

"Hi Sheik, i'm Laila."

"I know that." He said.

I could tell she was embarrassed.

"Right..sorry." She said.

This is fucking awkward.

"Anywayysss let's find a spot to sit at and order some drinks." Hailey said breaking the awkward silence.

"I don't drink." I said.

"Today you about to bitch. Let loose! We found out you wasn't pregnant today...we gotta celebrate!"

I laughed. This girl crazy.

"I'm only getting one drink."

She squealed like a little girl and went to go order us some drinks.

Sheik and Laila were talking about something until she turned around and walked away.

"Hailey cousin stupid as hell." He said as he sat down beside me.

"Why you say that?" I questioned.

"She don't take a fucking hint. She was flirting with me and I kept trying to tell her that I like dick...she don't give no fucks bitch."

I laughed at how stressed he was sounding.

"I'd probably eat her pussy though." He said.

"That's it? You ain't gon break her spine?"

He scratched his chin and tilted his head up. "I mean I fucked a girl before...but ion know if i'd do it again. I gotta think about it though cuz it was a lil fun or whatever."

"What y'all talking about?" Hailey walked up to us with a tray of drinks.

"Nothing." Sheik and I both said at the same time.

She shrugged her shoulders. "I got us some shots. We bout to get lit tonight."

She handed me mine and Sheik his.

I took the shot and was damn near struggling trying to swallow it.

"That shit hot." I said coughing a little.

"Shit just right for a good time though." She was drinking these shots like they wasn't nothing.

"I had a bad experience with alcohol so ima pass." Sheik said.

A guy that passed by suddenly had his attention. "Hop on it bitch." I tell him with a smirk.

"Don't gotta tell me twice. I'll see y'all later."

"Period bitch! Get you sum!" Hailey shouted.

She took her phone out and pointed it towards me. "Strike a pose girly!"

"Oop caught another off guard. You is such a bad bitch! You ever thought about being an instagram model? You'd make it fasho."

"You really think so? Or is you just gassing me?"

"Deadass!" She exclaimed.

I grabbed another shot and turned it up.

"Yeeeaaah bitch take another one." She said as she passed me another shot.

I accepted it because now i'm starting to feel good. I turned that one up with no problem.

Identity Theft by kodak blasted through the speakers.

Fresh out of jail, made another milli'
And bitch, don't think I changed, 'cause I didn't
I'll still'll hit a nigga with that glizzy
If rap don't pop, I'm back to stealin' identity
Credit card fraud, I'm in an Infiniti
I just took my brother's charge like I am not rich
I took my brother's charge like I ain't got shit
I guess he ain't step up for me 'cause he ain't got it in him

"I DON'T REALLY LIKE YOU BITCHES I BE JUST PLAYING!" All the niggas shouted at the same time.

"I'm bout to go get us some more drinks." Hailey slurred out.

"Nah you already bought sum. I'll get these." I said.

She giggled and sat back down on the couch.

I made my way towards the bar to order some more drinks for us. Everything is spinning I can't even tell if i'm walking straight or not.

Then something caught my eye that made me look around to see if anybody else was seeing the same shit I was seeing.

It was a little girl. She look like she's 8 or 10. What's she doing in here? Who let her in?

She looks like she's scared.

I walked up to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. "What are you doing in here? Where's your mom at?"

"I don't know." She said. Her eyes were glossy with tears. "I came in here to ask for help."

"The security guards let you in?"

"I snuck in passed people...can you please help me?"

"Yeah of course I can come on."

I held her close to my side as we began walking out of the club. Once we were outside I pulled out my phone.

"You know her number right?" I asked her.

"Now!" She shouted.

Wait what?

I stared at her confused and started looking around. Suddenly I felt a sharp stinging pain in my side.

I tried to scream and yell for help but whatever I've just been stuck with is working too fast. My mouth was covered by strong hands that had gloves on. I couldn't see the person cuz they had a mask on.

Then all I could see was black.

A/n: Ight imma head out.
