Blame Game

Chapter 24: Wrong Timing

I sit down and look at her, "How you been? The baby?"

"Just good... now say what you need to say." I clear my throat, "Get to the chase"

"Alright, Look Sophie.. we've been friends for a long time and-" she cuts me off.

"USE to be friends.."

"That's what I know...I'm sorry for what I did" I feel myself start to cry, "I don't know why I did that to you.."

"You are fucking sick you know that?" She leans forward and looks into my eyes, "Get your shit together Skye!"

"I'm trying! I really am but I can't when you and Julian are throwing my old mistakes back in my face.. I've changed!" I sob.

She shakes her head, "Yeah right.."

I look up and squint my eyes, "You know what? Forget it... never mind Sorry I wasted my time." I get up from the table and start to walk out the restaurant.

"Wait, I'll think about it..." she says behind me.

I smile lightly, "really?"

"Yeah" she wraps her arm around me and smirks.

I sigh in relief and hug her back

"I missed you so much.."

Langston:

Dear Journal,

What's good? I ain't wrote to you nshit in a while... I've been busy with my career and what not but I'm back. I've been feeling a little suspicious of Soph lately. Like, she ain't telling me some shit I don't know. Mad suspect and I'm not down. Today she went to her studio, so she says... I wish I knew what was up but I'm too busy with the music getting ready for my Winter tour and whatever. We going to her doctor appointment today and see how shits looking with the baby. She hasn't made it home yet so I'm kinda worried...

"No, don't worry about it okay? Don't come!" I hear her walk into the house from upstairs. I walk to the stairs and look at her as she stands by the doorway holding her purse and phone to her ear in the other. I wonder who she's talking to so I stay low key and listen.

"Listen, I understand that.. just not today alright? Next time.. I gotta go" she whispers then hangs up.

"Who was that Sophia?" I walk down the stairs.

"Uhm, It was a friend of mine... she wanted to come by and show me something but I told her I was busy."

I couldn't tell whether or not she was lying so I just nodded my head and took it. "Well, we need to bounce aight? Your appointment is soon and I don't want us to be late"

"Yeah, yeah.. you're right." She pushes her Custom made Hello kitty Ray bans over her head pushing back her hair. "Lemme change my shoes and we can jet"

We pull up to the hospital and I notice Dominic's car... what the hell's he doing here?

"I told you I wasn't taking no for an answer Soph" He walks over to our car and opens her door.

"Dom.. I told you NOT today" she whispers loud.

"Sophie what the hell is he doing here?" I grabble my jaw tightly and get out the car walking over to their side.

"I'm here to see about my child, and you?" He smirks.

"Sophie I told you not to let this nigga come anywhere near YOU or OUR child!" I slam the door causing her to jump.

"He had a right to know Langston, it's his child not yours!" She blurts out.

I laugh and shake my head, "So it's like that really?" I push her to the side and step to him, "You know I don't mind beating your ass once more right?"

"Nigga You know I don't mind beating yours either? You stole off cause I was drunk... bitch move." he spats in my face.

"I think you need to move my nigga... straight drop"

"I think you need to take a hike though.. dawg." he pushes me back.

I laugh and turn away like I'm about to walk away then turn back quickly and nail him right in the jaw. "I still got your bitch ass!" I yell. We start shoving each other everywhere into other cars damaging them. A standby er sees us and calls the security and police. We ignore Sophie yelling stop and I accidentally shove Dominic into her making him fall on her. She screams and tries to crawl from under him. I get angry even more and start punching him harder. A few Paps run over and take photos and videos yelling 'Is this the road you're going back down Leg? Lang? What about the kids?!' I push off Dominic and grab the paparazzi's camera and smash it into the ground.

I hear Sophia scream, "I hate you! Stay away from me! It's over!!" They carry her into the hospital and I stand there unable to process what just happened... did I hurt her? I fucked up... what if she looses the baby? Then, Everyone will hate me. Hate me for pushing him on her.

Damn.
