"PRYCE!" MY MOTHER YELLED from the other side of the door for the hundredth time; i continued to ignore her hugging my body pillow tighter tuning out her voice. I tried to sleep in once again, it was only wednesday and this is the second week i'm trying to stay in.
"Pryce, mommy wants you─ ooo, it stank in here." Patience, my little sister scrunches her nose. I stare back at her nonchalantly, it didn't smell in here...just because i didn't wash up and stayed in bed for a week didn't mean i smelt...or least i thought.
I wasn't like myself, this wasn't me at all and i didn't like it. Just staying and bed and sleeping wasting my days on nothing seemed like the only thing i could do to avoid the current things happening, i wouldn't say i'm heart broken, just hurt.
Before i couldn't even blink i was being pulled from off the bed and put onto the floor, i wince at pain of my butt hitting the floor.
"I'm not calling in sick for you anymore, get your ass up. I can't have them people coming to my house cause you wanna sleep" She looked down at me with a look of anger and sorrow, if that made sense. "This isn't like you." She put her hand out for me to grab, i didn't say anything. I push her hand away getting up on my own.
I just shrugged dragging myself back to the bed, at this point i was mentally tired. I didn't wanna be anywhere but than my room, my stomach was rumbling of hunger due to me basically starving myself.
My mom sighed walking out the room with patience keeping the door open, which meaning she was coming back in. I rolled my eyes stuffing my face in the pillow.
"I'm dropping your sister off, by the time i get back you better be ready."
Falling into a deep slumber i got back into a comfortable position, not even twenty minutes later my mother was carrying me to the bathroom. 'I can't ever catch a fucking break' i thought.
Once we got inside of the bathroom i looked inside of the tub to see it was already filled up with soap and water, sighing putting my arms up when she tugged at my shirt. Pulling it off of me she pulled down my basketball shorts till they fell to my ankles. Stepping away she turned around while i took off the rest of my stuff.
I made my way into the tub letting the hot water splash onto my skin, sighing putting my knees to my chest. I forgot how nice it was to be in hot water.
My mom sat on the part of the tub grabbing a clean wash cloth dipping it into the water adding soap onto it rubbing it in; lightly scrubbing my back.
I was embarrassed, i didn't need her to do this for me when i could do this by myself. She's probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me, she knows something wrong.
Like she was reading me she said,
" This isn't pryce, what's wrong?" She scrubs the back of my neck and behind my ears, i huff trying to come up with a lie. I can't just tell her;
"I'm gay and in love with a boy who's like your second son who may be a father of his 'girlfriends' baby."
I just decided to stay quiet as she washes my back, tears brims my eyes as i stared at the water. I didn't know why i brought to tears, i feel lost.
"Girl problems?" She said in a questionable tone, i just nod. "Use your words, boy." Slight attitude in her voice, i wipe my eyes sniffing.
"Y-Yes ma." Hearing her just hum kissing the back of my head afterwards, she gets up glaring down at me with a tired look.
"We not getting anywhere with this conversation are we?" I nod my head at her words, i didn't want her pushing a conversation that wasn't gonna go anywhere. I wasn't in a talking mood anyways.
"Finish getting washed up and get dressed, your going to school."
Sucking my teeth huffing loud i grabbing the wash cloth lathering it back with soap, after i was done i stood up scrubbing all over my body making sure i got clean. I turned the shower on watching the soap come off my body. Turning off the water, letting the water drain out; grabbing a body towel from the shelf that was next to the tub.
Stepping out i wrap the towel around my waist tucking a piece in so it won't come off, i began doing my face care routine.
After i was done with everything i dragged myself back to my room wanting the urge to hop back in bed, i looked and felt drained so why not.
Drenching myself in lotion before finding a wife beater and a regular hoodie over sized hoodie and some basket ball shorts, slowly putting on my boxers wanting to waste time so i could make her wait longer. Slipping the rest of my clothes on i found myself in front of the mirror, you could tell i didn't put effort into this. Since i usually put my all into what i wear, but now in the moment i just don't give a fuck.
"C'mon! before i come up there." She yells from downstairs, rolling my eyes i grab my phone sipping it inside of the pocket of my shorts throwing my bag over my shoulders; lastly digging my feet in a random pair of shoes.
Dragging myself out the room slamming the door behind me making my way down the stairs i was greeted by my mom grabbing onto my wrist pulling me outside and into the car.
I snatch my arm from her sitting in the passenger seat taking the bag off sitting it on the floor then putting on my seatbelt, i stare out the window waiting for her to start the car.
On the way to school she said a bunch of things i could care less about, about how i should get over who's making me feel this way. Like that's easy.
When we go in front of the place i started to hate she gave me kiss on the forehead and squeezed my shoulder telling me to have a good day, i only sighed and got of the car slamming the door.
Making my way through the school i tried to remember what class i had, i haven't been in the place in a week so it slipped my mind. I sign in at the office writing my name sloppy, i really didn't care.
I made my way to my second block, which was history class. Sighing of relief when i slowly opened the door to the class, everyone wasn't paying attention to me but as soon as the door closed behind me. Attention turned to me.
"PRYCE OH MY GOD!" The lightskin girl cheesed rubbing up to me, "Where have you been?!" Gina asked hugging me, i kept the nonchalant look on my face and lightly pushed her off me.
Saying dry hello's and hey's to people as i sat down an empty desk, the teacher was asleep as usual so the class was acting up like they always do, i felt like everyone knew something was wrong with me. I'm sure it's noticeable.
I put my head down trying to get comfortable in the spot i was in, even though it was uncomfortable i still found comfort.
I could hear my peers whispering about me since i heard my name, i was too tired to reply back and i could care less.
⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅
Making it through my classes with stress and collecting my unfinished work, i knew i would get everything done in no time since i have a little liking with school work.
Seeing my best friends in my periods was a little hard, i ignored them. I don't know why, but i felt like i couldn't communicate with anybody today. My energy was completely off. Just seeing his face made my heart clench.
"Pryce! I outta pop yo lazy eye back in place if you don't fuckin' answer me back mane." Tyquain yells from behind me in the halls, i sigh stopping in place waiting for him to catch up to me.
He turned me around facing him, a look of sorrow written all over his face. His coffee colored orbs, showed emotion that made me sigh in defeat. The bell rang one last time, letting us know that we better get to class. The halls went empty leaving me and him alone.
I went to say something but got cut off by him pulling me into a tight hug digging his chin on my shoulder, for a couple seconds i didn't respond only because tyquain rarely gave hugs. But, hugging back i felt solace with this.
"Whatever you goin' through just know we there for you mane." He said against my ear hugging me tighter, i close my eyes doing the same.
After a couple more seconds of hugging we pulled away from each other, i give him a weak smile at him narrowing his eyebrows giving a concerned look.
"I know, i know. I'm fine Ty, just tired." I lied, feeling a little bad about it. He hugged me one last time and went off to his block, i started walking to my next class.
Before walking to the class i felt my hoodie being yanked on and pulling me inside of an storage room, janitors closet. I immediately draw my fist back to hit who ever this person was, i couldn't tell who the person was since the room was dark.
"Let me g— ashley?" The light was being turned on, i drop my hand giving her a look of disgust. My eyes roam to her stomach, small bump popping out.
"The fuck do you want?"
She looked taken back by what i said, i didn't mean to come off harsh but i don't like her. I was about to leave but she pulled me back.
"It's about kentrell, obviously." She let go of my arm, the mug on my face grew if possible. "You know he got me pregnant?" Nodding my head looking down at her.
"I didn't want him to get me pregnant, the night we left from the concert he was talking about how much he wanted to get me pregnant and i wasn't agreeing with him." She started, i squint my eyes.
"W-While we were having sex he came in me, i didn't know what to think. After we were finished, he said "you thought i was playing" and s-saying how i can't get r-rid of it." she stutters over her words finishing looking away from me, my eyes glazing over with tears.
I didn't know if she was lying, i can't just believe her. She may or maybe not lying. Millions of thoughts running through my head the more i thought about it.
She's really havin his baby.
Kentrell would never do this to me, or least i thought he wouldn't .
"Why are you telling me this?" Voice cracking throwing my head trying to blink away my tears, i was starting to get angry.
"Because you're his bestfriend, i thought you should know." I couldn't detect the look on her face, but i got a werid gut feeling.
"I see the way you look at him, i feel like you have a crush on him, you gay or something?" She smiles, i look at her like she was stupid feeling like my heart beat rapidly.
"I don't know what you mean, ion' look at him like nothing. And i'm not gay." I said a little too quickly getting defensive. She pats my shoulder two times before saying;
"Yeah sureee, Whatever it is you need to stop. I don't need my man turning into something you think you not."
She left out the room leaving me by myself, it took everything in me not to yank her head back and beat the shit out of her. But, i can't do that.
I couldn't help but to let out a dry chuckle because her "man" is the gay and she's just a cover up. I know it's two sides of story and i wanna hear his but i'm not talking to him right now.
Making my way out the closet i look around the empty halls making sure i didn't see her anywhere. Walking to my class i couldn't help but to feel like everything is on me.
⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅
The day went by quickly, i felt like shit and ready to go back home and go to sleep. Hearing different things from people about how ashley was lying about her how many months she was, or about how kentrell wasn't the father. They were the talk of school. There was lots of things to think about, i didn't know what to believe at this point.
Lunch time came around and i seen stokeley coming towards me as i made my way down to the cafeteria, i awkwardly look to the side as he approached me.
"Hey vro, you look. . . your style is different now?" He slapped me up giving me a quick hug. "Um, wassup. I just threw something on today."
I began walking away from him but he only caught up to me making me groan while he had a big smile on his.
"You know what's up with jahseh, he acting like he don't like me no more." I sucked my teeth at his words, he know why.
All i know is him and jahseh had a argument about something and he ended up moving away. I know it was more to the story but he didn't tell me.
"He doesn't like you, you already know that." Making our way inside of the cafeteria, i decided on not eating anything. Every time i start eating, i throw up. I've just been feeling sick, i'm coming down with something.
"I didn't do anything to him tho'." he continued to rant about jahseh until i got to the table with he rest of them, jah quickly shut the man down from talking to me.
"Bitch can you go and stop talking to him, you can clearly see his ass don't wanna be bothered or talked to somebody like you." He spat, stokeley chuckled in response putting his hands up walking away.
The table went quiet and i felt all them looking at me, a mug came apon again as i looked right back at them. "What?" I utter.
"You." Jamell says in a duh tone dipping squared pizza in ranch, i mumble a 'oh' under my breath.
"Why every time we try to come over you have mom tell us that we couldn't come in." Jahseh spoke, everyone at the table nodded. I met eyes with kentrell for a split second before looking back at jah.
"I-I um. . . i just needed a break from everything. It won't happen again." I felt the urge to throw up, they all just look at me with blank faces.
Looking back at kentrell hazel orbs; twisting the ring around my pinkie. i began to think about what went down on my birthday.
"Ashley could be pregnant. . . with ma baby." Kentrell looked over to me, still panting heavily from the intense sex we just had. Breathing heavy on the sheets since i was still on my stomach, i laugh cause he's gotta be joking.
"S-Stop playin kentrell." I slowly bring myself up biting down on my lip when i felt pain spreading around my butt area, whimpering at the fact that i knew he couldn't joke like that.
"Say, I'm dead serious, baby." He grabs my hand and i quickly snatch my hand away feeling my whole attitude do a whole 360.
"You... got that bitch pregnant." Ignoring the pain in the area, i get from off the bed grabbing my clothes that was on the floor.
"It might be my baby— somethings not addin up with the situation." He utters, i wasn't taking in anything he was saying.
"You said you would break up with her! You fucked her the night of the concert right? JUST HOURS BEFORE YOU WAS FUCKING CRYING TO ME AT THE CEMETERY!" Slipping on all my clothes then my shoes, looking back at him with tears streaming out his sorry ass eyes.
If i didn't have feelings for him i wouldn't be acting this way, but since i do im really feeling fucking hurt right now feeling my intoxicated state slip away.
"I'm sorry." He got up from the bed still in his naked glory, i draw back my hand slapping him across the face.
Liquid streams out of my eyes as i watched his head turn to the side, i knew that was fucked up for me. Cause he'll slap me like any other nigga on the street but i'm different, i know he's not gonna put his hands on me.
Holding his cheek he looks back at me through his own tears; mean mug apparent, i turned my face up blinking my watery eyes.
"Until then kentrell i-i dont want shit to do with you. Cause if that's you're baby, we stopping what we got going on."
With that i walked out the room going to the bathroom to clean myself up of the fluids, sniffing i still kept my head up high since it's still my birthday. Not wanting it to be fucked up more.
"Uhhh, earth to pryce." Somebody snapped their fingers in my face clicking me out my trance, looking up away from kentrell sad frame moving my attention to who ever snapped their fingers.
Rakim.
Instantly a smile creeps onto my face, a genuine one at that. My stomach felt werid just looking at his fine ass. He returns the smile showing off his pearly whites.
Feeling all my friends staring at me i ignored them, rakim stood there just staring at me which was kinda werid.
"You want to go grab sum' to eat wimme, friend?" He asked, i raised my eyebrow at the small 'nickname'. I look around the table seeing them all stare at me, kentrell just looked mad as he could be.
Nodding saying a yes happily i got up, "But yo' mood change for him. Fuck you." Tyquain chuckles picking up his pizza taking a bite of it. Placing a smirk on my face i look back at mad ass kentrell before leaving out the double doors.
"Why haven't you been answering my calls?" Rakim questions while we make it towards his car in the lot, i roll my eyes at his words.
"I just haven't been answering anybody's calls, i'll answer you now." i reasure, as we a approached a Black Lexus Sc.
He hops in and unlocks the passenger side door, i strut my way to the side and sit in the seat putting on my seatbelt.
"You wanna skip? It's only like two more classes left. . ." he trails, i never really skipped unless it was with kentrell when he wanted to smoke. I shrugged my shoulders, " I'll drop you off at home when ever you ready to go." He added starting the car.
"We should go to mcdonald's or burger king." Rakim said pulling out of the lot getting onto the road, i really wasn't hungry but i could atleast fill myself up a little.
"Don't matter to me." I would say big mamas but she's always on my ass if i skip school and would tell my mom, even though i just turned eighteen i'm still scared to get in trouble. . . by my mom.
We just decided to go to burger king, on the way there he grabbed my thigh. It's not like i didn't mind, just shocked. I was happy that i got a little interaction with someone else other than my best friend. He was taking my mind off everything that was going on, i still didn't know what to believe or think.
I wanted to ask him was he down low, DL. Because of what he did, but i didn't wanna question him only because i liked it. But, i fûcked up the mood by removing his hand from my thigh.
He stared at me for a couple of seconds before pulling up to the window to grab the food, i pull out pocket change from my shorts which was five dollars, should be enough.
I'm broke.
"Nah i'm pay for it, friend." Shitttt if he said he finna pay then i'm good, i sit back in the seat looking at the sky.
After he was finished paying he pulled into the parking lot of the fast food place, he hands me my sweet tea and fries. I thank him, and began to lightly eat the soggy fries that i didn't quite like.
Not beating around the bush, i turn towards him. "You downlow? Only asking because you grabbed my thigh." I ask looking him, taking in his features sticking another fry in my mouth. If he wasn't DL then i wouldn't be embarrassed for assuming.
He paused on biting into his burger staring, a deep chuckle came from him. It was sexy.
"Let's just say this. . . i like what i like."
"You like me?" I boldly asked picking up my sweet tea taking a deep sip from it.
"Maybe."
