"It's tomorrow Camila and you're telling me you can't pull something together?" Taylor whined as I sat on my bed being home felt good and all but I still don't feel safe she was 4 months now and I couldn't help but to stare at her belly

"are you even listening to me friend" she said sitting on my bed

"I can't find anything Taylor" I said falling back

"Girl it's not hard relax you want to go buy an outfit?" I looked at her and looked at my small bump nodding

she told me to get up and throw some clothes on I got up slowly hissing because of my back pain every since we came back home Miguel didn't want to sleep in his room by himself anymore

I was happy when he broke out of the stage of 'sleeping with mommy' but i'm even more sad now because he just fell right back into it don't get me wrong I love sleeping with my baby it's just-

"Camila are you done!?" Taylor called out from the outside of my room
"Hold on!" I yelled back throwing on a big graphic shirt and my jean jacket to cover my bump with leggings walking downstairs to put on converses

I felt Taylor looking at me "yes Tay?" I asked annoyed

she didn't say anything "Tay-" she started laughing I looked at her rolling my eyes

"oh gosh" I said standing up she was laughing at the fact that I still had my scarf on

I took my scarf off untwisting my hair walking to the bathroom putting oil in my hair pulling it out to give it volume

"okay i'm ready" I grabbed my keys and we left out

Walking in the mall made my feet ache "this is pointless" I groaned
the only thing we got was a pair of black heel boots for me

"I'm hungry i'm so hungry" Taylor complained as we walked passed the food court

"burger kin-" I gagged just saying it shaking my head no
Taylor busted out laughing

"You see how I felt" she pointed to a chinese food spot causing me to shake my head then we saw a pizza sign and we smiled at each other

As we sat at the table and I drunk my sprite Taylor was texting on her phone making me pull out mine I notice Ant didn't text me about anything so I knew Miguel was fine

I know what you're thinking 'when the hell did Ant and you get back on good terms' well he apologized to me but I didn't forgive him he kept bugging me every time I would pick Miguel up so I forgave him and he flipped the switch telling me how he 'wants to become a better uncle'

I shrugged to my thoughts Taylor looked up "have you told Ace yet?" she asked I shook my head eating my double stuffed cheese pizza

she gave me a blank stare "Why the hell not" she asked sipping her soda

"I don't want or need him in my life Tay I did fine with Miguel I can do fine with-"

"heck no that's different you lost Mateo you didn't lose Ace" she said putting the soda down I rolled my eyes

"correction he took Mateo away from me and Miguel" I said looking away from her

"If you hadn't found out that he killed Mateo would you have stayed with him?" she asked lowly I stared at her

then I shrugged "God works in mysterious ways" I told her finishing my pizza she nodded as I drunk my soda

she was about to say something but her phone started to ring she got up and held one finger up at me I nodded as she started to walk away

rubbing my chest I instantly regretted drinking the soda and eating something so greasy my heart burn got worse I started to burp getting up quickly grabbing my bags I quickly made my way to the bathroom I immediately ran into a stall putting my bag on the door feeling another burp come up I put my face over the toilet as the fluids left my body my eyes instantly started to water

Cleaning out my mouth as I stood in the mirror this became a every other day thing nothing could sit right on my stomach rubbing my small bump I texted Taylor that I went to the bathroom I looked for my on the go mouth wash and used it when I heard someone walk into the bathroom

"you okay my love?" a familiar cinnamon smell came to my nose

I nodded looking at Taylor she was 5'6 basically mixed her mother was from Hawaii and her father was african american Taylor is beyond beautiful Leo is one hell of a lucky guy honestly

fixing my jean jacket making sure my bump wasn't noticeable we exit out of the bathroom going to different stores in the mall

"do you feel any better?" Taylor asked as I pulled out shirts in Forever 21

"I'm fine T the grease didn't sit right with the baby that's all"

she nodded in agreement pulling out a black dress "why do I have to wear all black I thought we were celebrating new life not a funeral" I whined out as she laughed

"you're right" she handed me a flower pattern dress it looked like it would fit right

"go try it on I know you don't want much attention to your belly so just go try it on" I smiled walking away to go try it on

Putting on the dress wasn't a struggle which made me breathe out I smiled as I looked in the mirror "you okay C?" Taylor called out for me

"Yeah! I fits really well!" I called back out to her sighing I took the dress off putting on my clothes back on

"Thank you for helping me today" I said getting out of the car she smiled at me nodding "of course you're my girl and I love you" Taylor said as I leaned in the car grabbing my bags "I love you too" I said closing the door watching Taylor pull off walking into my house

I texted Ant before going to bed
'Make sure he brushes his teeth Antonio i'm not joking'
he texted me back

'I know Camila'

with that I closed my eyes going to sleep
