Let Her Leave (BWWM) (#Wattys2017)

Eric's Parents Know | Nubia Talks to Giselle...

10 p.m.

Eric was in shock because he never thought he would ever see his parents again.

"Hi mom, dad. Um why are you here?"

"We just came to talk to Nubia."

Eric's heart dropped.

"O-Okay. I'll go get her."

Eric walked to their bedroom and saw Nubia laying there asleep so he shook her to wake her up.

"Hey babe?"

"Huh? Yeah? Who was at the door?"

"My um parents."

"Why?"

"They want to talk to you."

"Me? Why?"

"I don't know."

Eric sat on the bed with his hands in his head.

"Why don't they love me babe?"

Nubia could see how upset Eric was.

"I don't know."

"I just want them to love me. You love me right?"

"Of course I do."

"Even after the things I did to you?"

"Eric I've told you I forgive you for everything. Okay?"

Eric smiled, "Okay."

"I'm gonna go downstairs."

"Okay."

"Hey Karen. Hey Henry."

Karen's eyes lit up when she saw Nubia.

"Hey Nubia! How are you?"

"Fine. Why are you guys here?"

"We just want to say congrats."

Nubia thought, "Congrats? For what?"

"Oh okay?"

"For the baby! We just wish it wasn't by Eric, but whatever."

"How did you know?"

"Giselle told us."

"Really?"

"Yeah. We just wanted to stop by and say congrats."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Your welcome. Bye."

"Bye."

Nubia was pissed.

She went back upstairs.

"Eric?"

"Yeah?"

"Giselle told your parents I'm pregnant."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. I didn't want anybody else knowing."

Nubia started crying.

"Why would she tell them Eric?"

"I don't know babe. Do you want me to talk to her?"

"N-No."

"Okay. Come lay down."

They laid down on the bed and they fell asleep.

The Next Morning...

Nubia was making breakfast and Eric was sitting at the table.

"Are you gonna talk to Giselle?"

"Yeah."

"I don't want this pregnancy to turn out like the other one."

Eric had his head down crying a little.

"Why do you think it will?"

"I don't know."

Nubia went and sat down by Eric.

"Everything's gonna go good. I promise."

Eric just nodded his head and did a small smile.

At Work With Nubia...

It took Nubia forever to find Giselle.

Finally, she saw her in the cafeteria.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Fine whatever."

They went outside and sat on a bench.

Giselle looked annoyed.

"What do you want Nubia?"

"Why did you tell Eric's parents about me being pregnant?"

"Because they deserve to know."

"Actually they don't because it's my pregnancy."

"Well they are the grandparents."

"Giselle, we used to be best friends and now you are being a cruel bitch for no reason."

"I'm being a cruel bitch?!"

"Yeah. You shouldn't have told them because it was none of their business."

"Okay whatever."

Giselle just got up and left.

Nubia was extremely upset and she couldn't even finish her shift so she went home early.

Nubia thought that Giselle wouldn't act like this when her and Eric got back together, but she was wrong.

The only person Nubia really had was Eric.
