FINDING AZURE

T W E N T Y - N I N E / NO MORE SECRETS

"Justin, shut up" Azure rolled her eyes and left the kitchen, next plopping down on the couch. She stared up at the ceiling, only to hear a knock at the door a few moments later.

"Justin, I know you did not...." she said under her breath as she raised to open the door. She let out a breath of relief as she revealed Armani on the other side. She wasn't any better, but at least it wasn't Nico.

After the night the two fell asleep in each other's arms, Nico of course wanted her to stay. Azure decided she needed time to herself, because everything was hitting her all at once.

"Hey girl" Armani greeted Azure, welcoming herself in, "Mhhh it smells good, I'm right on time."

"Hey Armani." Azure closed the door behind her.

"Are you coming out with us today? I know you and Nico are still on the rocks but don't let that nigga stop you from living." Armani said making her way to the kitchen.

"I'm not" Azure followed behind her, "Where are ya'll going?"

"It's pride girl, we're going to drink and act up" Justin responded, "You should come, we all know you love a good drink." he smirked knowingly.

Azure burned her eyes through him, next forcing a smile to her face, "Maybe, what time does it start?" She played along.

"In a few hours" Armani began as she started digging through her purse. Pulling out the already rolled blunt she didn't hesitate to light it, immediately releasing the toxic smoke into the air. Usually Azure could stomach the smell and it never bothered her, but these days everything made her want to vomit.

"After that, I got this invitation to a day party down South st. Now I don't know how I feel about —"

"Hold that thought" Azure said before hurrying towards the bathroom. She couldn't hold down the little food that was currently in her stomach if she wanted to, as the moment she made it to the toilet she released last nights dinner.

"Damn girl, What you already drunk?" Armani laughed coming behind her.

"Armani" Azure began to throw up again, "Put that out. The smell is" she couldn't stop it from coming, "Killing me"

Armani closed the door of the bathroom, next going to put the L out to stop Azure from crying.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" She asked, hearing the constant barfing from down the hall.

Justin didn't respond, just continued to plate his meal and attempt to mind his business. He failed to realize silent him was suspicious him, because Justin never didn't have anything to say. Armani read the situation, next storming back towards to the bathroom door.

"Azure!" Armani barged in, calling her by her first name and not Blue. That told Azure she was was serious.

Azure glared up from the toilet, and the way she felt wore on her otherwise pretty face. At the moment she looked pitiful, and all Armani could do was hold her hair up for her, next rubbing her on her back as she got out the last bit her body would let her.

"Tell me, and you better not lie" Armani sounded just like Nico, "Are you pregnant?"

"No" Azure lied anyway, "Just..."

"Pregnant." Justin said stepping into the bathroom.

Azure scolded him and he ignored her, "Girl, save the grizzly for somebody who can't fight. I'm not letting you carry this lie on any longer. Azure is pregnant and she didn't tell your brother, anddd, her first appointment was this morning."
