this girl named Ericka that I’ve known for a while. Not only is she from my city, she also goes here. We had sex from time to time but right before we came back, she told me that her and her ex decided to get back together. I hadn’t talked to her up until the other day when she called my phone saying she was pregnant and it was mine. Personally, I think she’s lying and just trying to put it on me because her nigga probably dipped out on her ass. But because I know that I been there a few times, I know that it is a possibility. I’m definitely getting a test done as soon as she drops the baby. One thing you don’t have to worry about though is me going anywhere because I’m exactly where I want to be.”
My emotions were spinning out of control. I didn’t know if I wanted to be angry or if I wanted to break down and cry. I knew that what we had was too good to be true and it had to be some kind of drama coming behind it. Ever since I met Jeremiah, it had been nothing but drama and I was starting to question our relationship.
“Say something babe,” Jeremiah said looking at me.
“What am I supposed to say Jeremiah? I’m not even surprised this is going on. Ever since I met you I have been in nothing but drama and it’s all because of you! I’m starting to question our relationship. We haven’t been together long at all but in this short time I had to almost beat Brianna’s ass half to death for her to leave me alone and now this! If this baby is yours, she will make sure that your life is a living hell if you’re not with her! Maybe this was a bad idea,” I told him on the verge of tears.
“No baby, don’t do this to me, to us. I know there has been a lot going on but you have to believe me when I tell you I don’t want anyone else but you. This is what those other girls want. They want to see us break up and see you upset don’t give them the satisfaction baby. They are just hating ass hoes that will do anything to see us miserable!” he pleaded.
Some of the things that he was saying were making a lot of sense but I was just so upset. “I don’t know Jeremiah, just give me some time to clear my head and think. I will give you a call later on.”
I got up and walked out of his room not sure what my next move was going to be. All I knew was that I needed to get away from him as fast as I could before I snapped. I don’t know if I was mad at him or at the situation. Maybe it was the situation because it happened before I met him so I had no right to be mad at him, right?
As I headed towards my dorm, I pulled out my phone to call Kior to see where she was.
“Hello,” she answered.
“Hey Kior are you still with Ahmir?” I asked.
“I’m on my way back to my room, is everything okay Chanel?”
“I’m good but I need to talk to you. I’m on my way there now,” I told her.
“Okay well, I’ll be waiting on you girl.”
I hung up the phone. Man I needed a fat ass blunt right now to ease my mind. I wonder what Malorie was doing later. I knew Kior had plans to hang out with that guy DJ Spin so I sent a quick text to Malorie to see if we could go back to her homeboy’s house.
Me: Hey Malorie, do you have any plans tonight?
Malorie: What’s up chick? No, I don’t have anything planned... did you have something in mind?
Me: I wanted to see if we could hang out with your homeboys tonight. I need to smoke. I have a lot going on right now that I need to take my mind off of.
Malorie: Actually, I talked to Malcolm earlier and he asked if we all wanted to come over later because they were having a cards party tonight. I will give him a call to let him know we are coming and see what time it starts. I’ll hit you up after I talk to him.
Me: Okay cool!
By the time I sent my last message off, I was getting off the elevator headed to Ki’s room. When I got there, Kior had her door wide-open waiting for me to come. She was sitting on the bed watching TV with a big bag of Doritos sitting next
