"You should get that." I pointed to a blue Nike jumpsuit.

"That's blue. What if it's a girl." Skyler said.

"Well ain't nobody told you to go shopping this early. We don't know the gender yet!" I rolled my eyes. "And blue can be a girl color too."

"It seems like you don't wanna be here.." She said lowly. "I can take you back home if you really want."

"It's not that , it's just the way you're acting. You're saying I should help you find some clothes for the baby but don't like anything I pick. We've been walking around this damn mall for 2 hours and only have one bag which is something for you." I stated.

"Can we get some food?" She ignored everything I said.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds before giving her a tight smile. "I'm finna go use the bathroom. I'll meet you at the food court."

Before she could answer I walked out of the Nike store and headed to the elevator.

Swear she's been being bitchy all damn day. Them pregnancy hormones probably kicking in though so I'll just let her be.

As I was about to enter the elevator I heard my name being called.

I turned around with my face scrunched up tryna figure out who was calling me before I noticed. Andre.

Why is he tryna talk to me..

"Wassup?" I tilted my head as he walked up.

"It's been a while." He looked me up and down. "How you been?"

"Good.." I said uneasily. "You need something?"

"Nah. I just saw you here and had to say wassup."

"Okay.." I nodded. "Bye now."

Turning back around I pressed the up button on the elevator because I had now missed it. Suddenly I felt a touch on my arm making me snatch away and turned around again facing Andre..

"What?" I mugged him.

"Aye lemβ€”" He was saying before a girl walked up interlocking her fingers with his. "Bae who's this?" She laid her head on her arm.

See all I wanted to do was use the damn bathroom. Not get into some shit with this bum.

"I'm Destiny."

"Bae who's this?" She repeated looking up at him while rubbing his arm.

She's doing a whole lot.

"This is Destiny." Andre said moving her arm.

"Yes, I'm Destiny and I already introduced myself so why ask him again?"

"Oh. I'm Breasia, D'andre's girlfriend." She said and I laughed.

"Okay. Didn't ask but that's cool." I said hearing the elevator door open.

"Nice meeting you." I said before entering. I watched as she mugged me then looked up at Andre with a confused face. Before I could see anything else happen the elevator door closed.

I hummed to the music that was playing until the elevator door opened again. I walked out and into the girls restroom that was straight ahead.

I didn't even need to use the bathroom.. I just wanted to take mirror pictures and get away from Skyler.

As I went on Instagram Jayla's name popped up on the screen making me furrow my eyebrows. She never calls me.. and I thought she had a new phone.. and I thought I was blocked.

Putting my AirPods in my ears I answered the call.

"Hello?" I said.

"This Destiny right?" Her voice rang through my ears.

"Yes." I laughed. "You don't know who you're calling?"

"I do. I just don't have numbers saved so I was guessing yours." She said.

"Oh. Wassup? How are you and Kai?"

"We're good." She said.

The line got quiet before she spoke again. "You?"

"What you mean?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I mean, how are you? And Nari."

"Oh we're good."

"Oh okay.. well that's besides the point." She said. "I called you because I want to speak to you about something."

"Okay.." I trailed off waiting for her to spit it out.

"I'm selling the house." She said and I scrunched my face up.

"My house?" I questioned.

"No, MY house." She said. "That house you're staying in is mines. And the car you drive. Both in MY name. And if you're not gonna help pay any type of bills, I'm selling it. Both of them."

"Wait wait wait wait." I chuckled nervously. "Why? I didn't know you had a problem with it. You never TOLD me you had a problem with it. If I would've known, I would've started paying myself, we could've worked something out to get both of them in my name."

"Destiny.. okay I get that. But I already told you why now. It's a waste of MY money." She said.

"Then like I said I can start using MY money. I have money Jayla I'm not broke, I can pay for all those stuff myself." I said.

"Destiny I just wanna sell the house and car." She sighed. "If you have money then buy your own house and car but right now I need the money. I'm not even working right now. Well at least not yet."

"Wow.." I shook my head chuckling bitterly. "You really gon do me like that? You're acting so selfish! You don't know what I'm going through either!"

"Destiny don't try to make me feel guilty! I'm not being selfish, I've done everything for you already. Can I get a break!? Stop depending on me." She raised her voice. "If you have money like you said you do buy a house and car! Or pay me back! Pay me the money I've been loosing for the house! Shit, buy the whole damn house from me for all I care."

I shook my head thinking of what to do. It's not that easy to do all that..

"Did you already put it on sales? Or whatever the fuck you call it."

"No.. but I will in about 2 to 3 weeks.." She said and I sighed rubbing my head.

It got silent again..

"I can help you look for places orβ€”"

"No it's fine. You've done enough for me." I cut her off. "Thanks for telling me. Tell Kaiser I said hi." I said before hanging up.

I sighed placing my phone on the counter. "Now she got me feeling guilty."

"What she say?" China said lowly as she laid on the couch with a blanket over her head.

"She was talm bout I'm selfish and ion know what she be going through and I never told her how I felt and when I offered to help look for new houses she said I've done enough.." I explained.

"Mm. Don't know what to tell you about that. Y'all needa talk forreal though. See things from her point of view. Not everything is gonna be seen from your perspective." She said. "And I mean that for all y'all problems, especially the Skyler situation. Y'all aren't talking and expressing y'all selves so to you it's just like oh she picked Skyler over me and she fake point blank period. To her it might be more than that."

"You right." I said. "I'm finna go back to Atlanta soon.. probably after I settle down in my new house and shit."

"Take me withhhh." She said lazily before coughing.

"You okay?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. I gotta sore throat though." She said making me smirk.

"You was fuckingggggg?" I dragged in a high pitch tone.

"Unt unt.." She took the cover off her face and turned with the front of her body facing the couch.

"Why you so tired? You ain't get any sleep or sum?" I asked.

"I did but not a lot. I'm still tired." She said.

"Why not? You never not get a lot of sleep."

"I couldn't fall asleep. My eyes was glued on my phone and TV."

I nodded grabbing my phone and checked the time.

"Can we sleep here tonight?" I asked.

"Mhm." She said. "I don't have clothes here for Kaiser though."

"He got some in his bag."

"Oh." She said. "I'm finna go to sleep on you so shut up."

"Shutting up right now.." I nodded going to my Netflix app..
