Chanel - Tweety_96 ... (accelerated reader books TXT) 📗

as I walked toward the door, thinking that it's Camryn worrying us about Cayden already. When I opened the door, I'm not even gonna lie, I wish it was my sister standing at the door. Secret Got Out

I haven't done that many things wrong for the main person I want to avoid in my life standing at my front door. If you met her you would understand,because not even the Grim Reaper wants to be by her. Jermaine's mother,Joyce, was standing at my damn door early as hell in the morning,looking like she wanted to start some shit with me. "Is Jermaine here?", She asked,when she know the answer because she parked right next to him. I wanted to say no so she could sit in the car, but she parked right next to him. "I'll go get him.",I said as I was slowly pushing the door. "I'll wake him up.",she said as she pushed the door back.
I closed the door and went to get Cayden. She looked back at me like 'Bitch why are you following me?', but I guess she forgot where she was at for a second because she quickly turned around and kept walking. Times like this is why I'm glad I have the parents that I have,because if I had her I would have mental issues by now. "Hello,Sweetheart.",She says so innocent. And she can switch her facial expressions very quickly. "I just saw you yesterday,Ma, what's wrong?",he asked. She looked back at me and walked to the bedside by Jermaine. I huffed and walked out the room and into the kitchen. At least I won't be bothered by her annoying, and desperate attitude.
Then I thought about it. There is only one reason why she can be over here, when she just saw Jermaine yesterday. She knows that I'm pregnant. I didn't even want to know if she began bringing my name into the subject of the conversation, but before they could, I walked out of the house,got into the car, and left.
I felt as if as was running away from it, but I just couldn't hear or talk to anyone just yet about my situation. I really don't want to talk to anyone at my school,because then I'll just be classified as 'one of those girls'. This category is basically meant for the African and Hispanic;which means by the end of high school I'll get pregnant more than once(but try to hide it),on food stamps,be a high school dropout, and most likely won't be with my child's father, which also means that I probably won't be receiving child support.
I'm not 'one of those girls' and Jermaine is not 'one of those guys'. While I was thinking it through I turned the car around. I have to deal with her finding out someday, and it will be easier if my family is not around crying all over the place also. I smiled as I leaned out my car window to swipe the card for our apartment gate. We made a baby together, so now we have to pay the consequences together.
As soon as I opened the door, I wanted to run back to my car. Not only was Jermaine's mother here, but also my Mom,my Dad, and my twin Aunts Victoria and Valerie were all here sitting in my living room. Jermaine's face was looking grateful that I came through the door, but he looked tired from all their talking. "I'm really not in the mood to argue, and I'm tired.", I said as I went and got a bouncing Cayden from Jermaine's arms.

The Arguments

"Chanel,what is this lady talking about?",my mom said in tears. I barely saw my parents cry. I come from a very strong family(for years I didn't know how to breakdown and cry). I looked at Camilla Venus Callaway as hard and square in the eyes as I could. "I'm pregnant.",I said truthfully as possible to my mom. She busted out crying and leaned into my dad's chest while he held his head down low. Jermaine's mom rolled her eyes and stood up fast. "Chanel, I will pay for you to get an abortion.",she said as she grabbed her purse and left. I felt myself burning hot red, so I went in the back to our room with Cayden.
Jermaine stayed in the living room and had to ride it out his self this time. While I laid in the bed with my nephew,I just heard arguments and my mother crying saying,"This is the life I purposely wanted her to avoid!". After a while I fell asleep. I woke back up when I felt Jermaine's hands around me. "They left?",I asked him. He nodded in response to me. They probably wore him out so bad that he can't even answer to me. He rubbed my shoulder and I turned and faced him. "Do you want an abortion?",he asked. The question honestly shocked me, because from his expression when I told him that I was pregnant, made me think that he didn't want our kid.
"I thought you didn't want it." He looked at me crazy. "When have I ever said that?", he asked with bewilderment. "It was your facial expressions, when I first told you.", I replied. He nodded. And that's all he had to say was a nod, because he know that I'm right. He looked straight down at me and smiled. "That was a shocked facial expression,and you can't talk because you was crying super hard.", he stated.
I know I couldn't lie about that. "You don't understand that pregnancy means mood swings, bipolar, depression, weight gain, stretch marks, people thinking you're a hoe, and not to mention I'm going to lose a lot of friends Jermaine.",I explained. It was going to be hard for me walking in the doctor's with people making fun of me or just laughing at me straight up in my face. And I didn't even get on the thought of Jermaine leaving me for a care-free life.
He shook his head. "Regardless of what they think of you,they gonna always talk about you. And as for friends, real niggas will stay with you until your last breath. Unless they paying a phone bill or something, then they some fake ass bitches.",He said seriously. I understand what he's trying to say, but it's gonna be hella hard because I have to carry around the evidence for nine months. And I understand what he's saying about these females, they get jealous over the simplest things and then want to voice an opinion when it's none of their business.
"Even if I have to say this everyday for the rest of my life. I will never leave you or my kid for nobody. I love you,bae.",He said. I started crying and smiling at the same time. It's all cute and cuddly now, but when the baby comes we probably won't be able to get a break.
Cayden started to crawl over me to get to Jermaine. They started smiling at each other and held him over his head and pretended to drop him. Cayden started laughing loudly. Jermaine smiled at him and hugged him. They looked so cute together, I hope he's like that with our baby.
I just smiled, but smiling hides my worries for all of us. I watch a lot of 'Teen Mom' and '16 and Pregnant' on MTV. I see how Maci wishes her and Ryan were together or how Farrah's boyfriend ,Derek, had died before their daughter Sophia was born. Honestly, look how fast it took me to become pregnant,and I can just as easily be in their situation. I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket. I left the room and answered it.
"Hello?",I answered. "Chanel, it's Carmen. I'm outside.",She said. I hung up and opened the front door. My older sister,Carmen, has no kids whatsoever and she doesn't intend to. She smirked as she sat down on the sofa and took her heels off. "Don't even try to explain, just let me talk first.",she said while holding her hand up. "Do you know how hard it is going to be for you?". I sighed, even though she is my sister, she still sounds like everyone else. "I know,but I'm not going to be by myself. I have Jermaine.",I pointed out. She stared at me. "Since you put it like that, what happens if Jermaine loses the job he has and has no money to provide for himself, much less a baby.",she exclaimed. I looked down at the carpet, because I didn't have a comeback. She was right, I can't just expect Jermaine to do everything. "Chanel, I'm not saying this to hurt you, but he can leave at any given moment and forget about you, while you're stuck with a baby while you're a baby yourself. Hell, actually both of you are!",She laughed. "I honestly didn't mean for it to happen,but I think I can handle it with Jermaine.",I replied. She looked at me in my eyes and shook her head. "How do you know he's going to stay, after-all, his word is all you have."
"What is that supposed to mean?",I said as I felt slightly offended. She rolled her eyes and stretched out her legs on the sofa. "It means, don't sit around and wait for someone to do something, when you know you can do it yourself." I nodded, agreeing with her. "I brought someone that wanted to see you.",Carmen says. She slips on her heels and walks out the front door and closes it behind her. My eyebrow furrowed as I thought about different things and how will I be able to afford it on my own.
The door opens and I see my middle school ex-boyfriend. I smiled to myself as I remembered Tyler Johnson back in the good days. He was always a wild child,but as soon as we got in the classrooms, nothing else mattered but his work. He looks fine,but I don't even want to flirt with him, because I am devoted to Jermaine. Caramel. Tall. Masculine. Fine. Sweet.
"Hey,Chanel.",he said as he came and hugged me. I felt his huge hands slip to the small of my back. He was smooth, I'll give him that. "Hey, I haven't saw you in the longest time!",I said as he hugged me while touching my lower back. He seems just like the same player he used to be in 7th grade. A smooth talker/liar,with
