"Long time no see huh ?"
"Yes you look different."
"Achoo."
Now I know where Renee get those distractions from. I continued talking and he did it again.
"Robyn, this is my girlfriend's dad, Mitchell. Mitchell, this is my ex, Robyn."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too."
"Here is my number. We should catch up sometime."
"Alright."
Then she left. Mitchell was glancing at me with disgust in his face. The wrinkles made him look even worse.
"What ?"
"You know how exes are. She probraly is trying to break you and my daughter up."
"I hope not."
Renee
(2 weeks later)
Everything is going good. We had prom and I didn't have a date since I date my stepdad. He ended up showing up.
All seniors are talking about graduation. The girls have to wear red dresses and boys have to wear red tux.
Life is going good. Jim and I are closer that expected. My hormones have been acting up for a while now.
Every morning I would throw up, eat everything in sight, and be moody. What is going on ?
"Babe ?"
"Yes, Jim?"
"Since we have been dating for 5 months now, my mom heard about and wants to meet you."
"Ok. When ?"
"Tomorrow."
"Alright then. Jim there is something I need to talk to you about ?"
"Yes ?"
"I think I am pregnant."
"You can't be."
"Babe, I thought you might be happy."
"I think I need to leave."
"Where are you going ?"
"Don't worry about that. I need to go. And don't come looking for me."
He ran out of the door leaving me dumbfounded. I just dropped to the floor and cried.
Getting up, I called Jim. He must have seen it because it went to voicemail.
Instead I called Sasha. It ringed twice before she picked up. You heard giggling and moaning. For their age, they still got their freak one.
"Oh hey, Renee, what's wrong ?"
"Jim left me."
"I'm on my way over there now."
"Ok."
Then I hung up the phone and waited paitently. Then the doorknob started jingling.
Sasha walked in scaring me. I had forgettn that I gave them a key for a emergencies.
"What's wrong ?"
"Well, I told Jim I am having a pregnancy scare and he disappeared."
"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie."
"He even said don't come looking for him."
"I guess he was serious."
Jim
"What you mean she might be pregnant ?"
"She having a pregnancy scare."
"And you just walked out on her."
"I'm just not ready to be a dad. I'm only 23, ma."
"That gives you no reason for you to walk out on her like that, Jim. Remember your dad walked out on me when I was pregnant with you. It would hurt to see my son like that."
"Mom, I will never be that person you call a man."
"You will be if you don't go back to Renee."
"Alright, alright. I'm going. Love you ma."
"Yea, me too."
"Hey."
"Yes I love you too."
I hopped in my car and drove back home. Looks like I got making up to do.
Renee
"What you mean he left ?"
"Dad, calm down."
"I'm not calming down until that boys shows up and acts mature."
That's when Jim walked in the door. My dad sat there with pure hate and anger in his eyes.
"Hey Renee."
"What are you doing back ?"
"I live here."
"Quit playing."
"Ok. I left because I was scared. I'm only 23 and I just discovered life. So I went to my mom house to ask for some advice. She told me to come back and don't be a deadbeat dad."
"She got that right."
"Dad, shut up. Sheesh."
"So did you get a test yet ?"
"No."
"Then let's go."
"Alright."
We all went to the pharmacy that was a mile away. I went in the store and pick up the best pregnancy tests and brought them to the cashier. I placed it on the table and she looked at me funny.
"What ? At least I'm getting laid."
She sucked her teeth and I paid for the test and walked outside. Driving back home, 'Boss Ass Bitch.' came on and I sang along.
They be saying I'm a boss bitch
I'm a boss b***h I'm a boss b***h, boss bitch
They be hating I'm like nah bitch
I'm like nah b***h I'm like nah b***h, nah bitch
"Ok that is enough of that."
We arrived home in a blink of an eye and I ran to the bathroom not caring about nothing.
While I was in the bathroom, I peed on all on of the test and waited. 5 minutes later, it was all beeping.
I walked up to them and picked them all up and sighed. I can't believe it.
