Brianna

            by Felicia Evans

 

“Oh my God! What have I done?” I said to myself as I paste back in fourth in my room.

“It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.”  Water formed in my eyes as I replayed everything that happened 6 hours ago. Suddenly my phone rang. My heart stopped as I slowly and nervously answered it.

            “H-Hell-Hello,” I stuttered. “Who is this?”

            “Wasup baby, how you doin?”

            “Oh, hey Taye. I’m…a…I’m good why?”

            “Baby, why you sound like that?”

            “Sound like what?” I was clearly making it obvious that I was hiding something from him.

            “You sound like you hidin’ something from me. What’s goin’ on?” I could hear the concern in his voice. I had to relax myself in order to get myself out of this question.

            “Baby, nothing is wrong. I love you.” I knew he wasn’t goin believe me so I made up a reason to hang up the phone. “I have to go do something for my mom can I call you back?”

            “Yeah, that’s cool, I guess. Aye?”

            “Yeah baby?” I said.

            “I love you more than life itself, you’re my angel, my queen and one day you’ll be my wife.”

Tears once again spilled down my face.

             “I love you too!”

Quickly, I hung up the phone before he could make me feel any worst, then I flopped on my bed and continued to cry. Soon, my mother came in to see what was wrong.

            “Brianna, what’s wrong with you? I can hear you crying from all the way down stairs. What’s the problem?”

            “I don’t want to talk about it.” The pain I was feeling was really getting to me. Here I am, a 19 year old graduate, who graduated with a man she fell in love with way back in the fourth grade and now I have a horrible secret that will probably make him leave me.

            “Why don’t you want to talk about?”

            “Mom!” I cried. She could see the fear, the hurt and the pain all over my face. “I’m pregnant, but I cheated on Taye wit his best friend Daymar so many times, I’m not sure whether Taye’s the dad or not. I’m so scared to tell him cause me and him have been though so much together.”

            “Oh my God Brianna, are you serious?” The look my mother gave me was of pure disappointment. “How you goin do that to Taye? Hell, why would you do that to your self?”

            “I don’t know mom, I don’t know!” I yelled, “What am I suppose to do?”  I felt so helpless, but my mom only made it worst.

            “You need to tell him. I know how your feeling but he deserves to know.”

            “I can’t tell him. Not now at least.”  My mom reached over beside me and grabbed my phone. She started punching in numbers and I instantly grabbed it out of her hands. “I said not now!!!” I yelled as I grabbed my car keys off my dresser and stormed out the house. Once I made it outside, I realized I was in my night clothes and I had on slippers, I didn’t care though, I just hopped in the car and headed towards my best friend Chantel’s house.

 

CHANTEL

“Knock, Knock, Knock!!!”

Who the fuck is this banging the hell out of my door? I mumbled to myself as I jumped off the couch to run to the door.

            “Chantel, open the door!!”

When I looked out the peephole I saw my girl Brianna standing on the porch with tears fallin down her face.

            “Are you ok girl?” I asked, as I opened the door and invited her in.

            “I fucked up Chantel!” And I don’t know what to do.” Her tears were slowly going away, but her frustration and anger was starting to come out.

.           “Ok, calm down and have a seat.” The both of us sat down at my kitchen table

            “Now tell me what’s going on?” I asked.

            “Aight, earlier today I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. For a minute I was happy because I knew me and Taye would finally have a family just like he wanted, but as I was becoming extremely excited I realized I cheated on Taye four times  with Daymar and now I don’t know whether Taye’s the daddy or not.” I saw her eyes fill up wit tears again and even though I was hella shocked, I knew all she need was comfort.

            Oh my God! What were you thinking sweetheart?!” I said with a loud tone of voice.

            “I don’t know! Taye’s goin kill D, then he’s goin leave me and I just can’t picture him out of my life.” I could see her tears again.

            “Ok…Maybe we can fix this. How many months are you?”

            “I think two.”

            “Well, it’s not too late for an abortion then.”

            “That’s not even an option my parents don’t believe in abortions and I don’t have any money to pay for it.

            Damn. It looks like you goin have to keep it then, but what you goin tell Taye?”

            “I don’t know. I’m scared to tell him the truth. He’s already goin be mad when I tell him I cheated but when he finds out who it is…ain’t no telling what he’s goin do.”

 

 

Taye

            “Yo Taye, what’s wrong wit you?” My best friend Daymar asked.

            “Shit, I jus got off the phone wit my girl and she actin hella funny.”

Right when I said that Daymar gave me a weird ass look like he knew something.         

            Yo nigga, why you look at me like that?” I said calmly.

            “Like how? I looked at you jus how I been lookin at you.”

            “Whatever blood. I’m bout to call her back. I need to see her.” When I called I got the voicemail.

            “Wasup baby, this Taye’ I wanted to spend time wit you, it’s 8:00 right now so if you can hit me back maybe you could spend the night. I love you. Holla” After I left her a message, I had a feelin she was at her potna, Chantel’s house, so me and my boy went over.

 

Brianna

            “You need to tell Taye as soon as possible what’s goin on he deserves to know. You’ll feel a lot better to.” The fact that I knew she was right made me cry all over again. I knew I had to tell him and I knew the longer I waited the harder it was goin be, so I put it in my mind that when the right time came I’d tell. I guess God knew that, because five seconds later Chantel’s doorbell rung.

            “Who is it!!?” Chantel yelled, while walking towards the door.

            “It’s Taye!” Chantel quickly opened the door and invited both Taye and Daymar in. Taye walked into the kitchen where I was sitting and caught me crying.

            “Baby, what’s wrong why you cryin?” He gave me a sad but sexy look that always made me weak.

            “Can we go somewhere and talk?” Right when I said that Daymar walked in and the two of us shared a very acquired moment.

Daymar

When I saw Brianna’s face I knew shit was bout to get bad. For a minute me and her been sleeping together and I new she had to be pregnant cause I don’t know why else she’d be avoiding Taye.

 

Taye

            “Wasup wit y’all two? Y’all both been actin hella funny lately.”

Daymar jus put his head down and didn’t say anything. I knew then that whatever Brianna had to talk to me about had something to do wit Daymar, I was jus hoppin that wasn’t the case and I was jus being paranoid, but I had a bad feeling.

            “Come on Bri. We can take a ride.

So me and Brianna got in the car and headed down towards the Marina and while I was driving she told me that she had slept wit my boy D, four times and that she was pregnant and unsure who the daddy was. It hurt me deeply because as long as me and her been together I never cheated on her in my life and yet she did. I left her ass at the marina when we got there, then I went back and beat the hell out of Daymar but at the end me and Daymar stay boys and Brianna lost the baby and me. But hey that’s what happens when you do too much!!!!
