Ariel POV:

Khalil opened the door wearing only basketball shorts showing his six pack. I but my lip and we walked to the living room. I sat on the couch opposite of him.

Khalil: so did you talk to your boyfriend

Ariel: no

Khalil: cool kids?

Ariel: none yet ... you

Khalil: none

Ariel: oh why did you call me over

Khalil: to fix you and your boyfriend relationship

Ariel: oh I thought you had something else in mind

Khalil: like what

Khalil: no girl

Ariel: why not

Khalil: I'm ... gay I don't like girls

Ariel: Ohhh oh for real

Khalil: yea

Ariel: oh well my relationship is fine

Khalil: you sure?

Ariel: yea

Khalil: I think you should leave him if you don't trust him

Ariel: I know but I can't leave him

Khalil: have you been in relationships before that

Ariel: yea they were worse I was in abusive ones but he doesn't know. it's kinda still going on but I left. I changed my number and we were together since we were young

Khalil: who

Ariel: I dong want to talk about it

Khalil: how is it still going on

Ariel: I didn't tell him it was over I was scared that he will hit me or something

Khalil: oh

Ariel: I got to go

Khalil: if everything doesn't work out tell him he can get a man on his side

I got up and got my stuff in shocked. Khalil walked me outside and I got in my car. I turned my phone on and saw 3 miss calls from August. I called him back.

August: where the hell are you

Me: on my way home from the Dollar Store

August: really

Me: yea

August: what you bought?

Me: chips but I ate it

August: mhm

Me: yea I'm on my way home

I hanged up the phone and drove home. I got inside and closed the door. I locked it and turned around and saw August holding a belt.

Me: hey

August: where were you

Me: with your nieces

August: you put them up an hour ago WHERE WERE YOU

Me: why does it matter where I was? you were probably here screwing a bitch

August: I wasn't

Me: then what were you doing

August: writing a song one the reflects my feelings of you but you think I'll cheat on you it was just one time and then you were probably out getting payback

Me: August, baby I wasn't. I was out talking to a friend trying to figure out our relationship I'm sorry for thinking that you were cheating.

August: it's ok

Me: well can I hear your song

We walked to piano room and he sat down and started playing.

August: Girl I know sometimes that I mistreat you, and you still come back
And I see your homegirls try to reach you, but you aint hearing none of that
They try to get through, they say I aint the move
I don't know, cause girl it might be true
When they tell you, you should walk away but you stay anyway
Girl I think its best for me to say this, I aint no good
And your heart aint something I should play with
So lets get it understood
I ain't trying ruin your life
If anything I just want to make it right
And tell the judge I ain't even trying to plead my case
I can my baby to her face
See I was just your nigga next door
But girl I see more for you, I see more for you
And you ain't gotta have no fear, know ill always be here for you
And I know you may not end up with me, it ain't gotta be me
Cause i'm still playing outchea in these streets
But i'm just saying, you deserve better
i'm just saying, you deserve better
I know that love can be blind
But just open your eyes, open your eyes
Take a look in the mirror
Baby girl you a prize
And any man that don't see that
you should let his ass go, believe that
Because his love ain't real
What he wont do another nigga will
You deserve all the love, you deserve all the love
You deserve all the care, you deserve all the care
You deserve all that and more, you deserve all that and more
You deserve better, you deserve better
You deserve to laugh, you deserve to laugh
Baby you deserve to smile, baby you deserve to smile
You deserve the best of everything
You deserve better
yeah, yeah, yeah
You deserve better
Smile
You deserve better

Me: what do you mean I deserve better

August: I wrote this in high school before I dropped out

Me: you knew about him

August: yea I was jealous of him because he doesn't deserve you

Me: what do you mean doesn't deserve me

August: he cheated on you

Me: and you did to

August: not as much as he did

Me: yea I feel sick

August: like what

Me: I'm dizzy my back hurt I have cramps

August: oh well get some rest

Me: ok

I walked upstairs and looked in the mirror. I looked at my stomach and saw that I was gaining weight. I rubbed my belly and it clicked. I'm pregnant. It's only been 20 weeks since I've been here. I can't be pregnant maybe have been eating to much. I took an aspirin and took a shower and then went to bed.
