When she left, I let out a long sigh and rubbed my face with my hands.

✕ Yvonnie ✕

I was sitting on my bed, watching Creed until I heard the dorm door open and shut. GiGi skipped to her bed with a smile on her face then flopped back on it.

I lowered the tv volume and looked at her with my head tilted. "Is there a reason why you're so...happy?"

She giggled and shook her head. "No. Not at all."

"Oh...kay?" I said slowly before getting out my bed and slipping on my Nike slides.

"I'm about to go down to the vending machine. You want anything?" I asked her. She shook her head no in response.

"Okay." I shrugged and left the room. As I was on my way to the elevator, I was looking down at my phone and end up bumping into someone.

"Shit, I'm sorry." I looked up at the person and my mouth dropped. I fucking bumped into Odell. What do I do? Should I run? Curl into a ball and cry?

"It's cool. I was just lookin' for you anyways. We needa talk." He said in a serious tone of voice. I gulped hardly before walking to the elevator with him.

It was awkward the whole way down. I stood in one corner of the elevator and he stood in the other. I could feel his eyes burning a hole right through me as I tried not to look at him. Him just standing there made me feel weird.

Once the elevator made it to the first floor, the doors opened slowly. I escorted myself out and Odell followed right behind me. We made it to the little lounge room where there were theater seats, a large flat screen tv, two vending machines, and a Wii hooked up to the tv. Thank god we were the only two there because God only knows what's about to go down in here.

Odell took a seat in one of the theater seats and got comfortable. There was nothing but pure silence until he spoke up.

"So are you gonna explain to me why you decided to go M.I.A on everyone out of the blue?" He raised an eyebrow and started swinging his keychain around his index and middle fingers.

I sighed and I put my two dollars in the money slot and punched in the number and letter for my snack choice. I have the chance to explain and I'm gonna use it wisely.

I took the out the Skittles and Doritos and walked to one of the theater seats—three seats away from Odell. I sat down and looked at me.

"Yeah...I'll tell you why. But please promise me you won't get mad." He turned to me and shook his head.

"Nah, I can't promise you that."

I took a deep breath. "The um...reason why I went M.I.A is because...uh...I was depressed." I tried to break the news down slowly.

He knitted his eyebrows together. "And...?" I'm guessing he wasn't buying that half ass reason.

"...B-Because...I found out that...I was p-pregnant." I finally stuttered out. Odell grew quiet, staring at the ground. I buried my head in my hands and groaned.

"...You had a baby?" He turned and stared at me. I nodded, my head's still buried in my hands. I felt embarrassed.

"So you decided to leave Louisiana to go to Florida, to get pregnant, and now you're back here..." I looked up to see him clenching and unclenching his jaws.

"Odell no! I never intended to get pregnant in Florida, it just happened—accidentally!"

"How the fuck do you accidentally get pregnant?! Did he accidentally forget to use a condom?!" He questioned aloud, his voice filled with venom.

"I went to a party and I had too many drinks! This guy and I both hooked up! I barley remember what happened! A couple of weeks later I was really sick and took a pregnancy test and it came out positive!" I explained. "Odell I never meant to go M.I.A on everyone! I'm sorry, okay?! I just want us to at least be friends."

He stood up from the seat and shook his head. "Nah, ion think we can be friends." He said as he began to walk out.

"Odell, no. Don't be like that." My voice cracked as I got up to follow behind him.

"I gotta get ready to go to work. Take care Yvonnie." And with that, he left, totally out my sight.

I watched the game tonight and to be honest, I'm proud of OKC, even though they lost. They did good. I'm so emotional when I watch basketball games. I yell waaaay too much. Out of anger and happiness, lmfao.
