June and I had been walking around the mall for hours until she got hungry. We decided to sit outside and eat our food just since it was the middle of spring so it felt good outiside.
"Got it" I herd a camera click. June was taking pictures of me, for what I don't know, she turned the phone around so I can see the picture. It was a pretty offguard pic.

"Your so fine sissy"
" well I mean ya ain't to bad yourself" I pinched her cheek.
" I Have to tell you something"
"What"
"But you have to promise not to tell nobody"
"JuJu have I ever told?"
"No but-"
"June"
"Okay okay , I'm pregnant"
I spit my drink out being dramatic and shit. "Ju you what?"
"I know I know I'm pregnant" she started crying " they go hate me , Ma go hate me , grandma go hate me omg"
"No no no baby" I got up from my sit to sit next to her. Rubbing her back I went on to explain how they weren't going to hate her. Yeah they might be disappointed in her actions but their not going to hate her.
My grandma on the other hand there's no telling how she'll feel. When my mom got pregnant with her first child, Trayvon , she was 17. My grandma swore up and down she wasn't go help with the baby and up being the most supportive one.
I understood why June was crying because we were the baby's of the family and they expected more from us. When we found out Tray got a female pregnant my mom and grandma ain't speak to him for 6months, my step dad on the other hand was supportive and thought the whole situation of not speaking to him was childish.
"JuJu, come on let's go home" we got up and headed to the car.
"What am I going to do summer" she sobbed
"We have to take it one step at a time. I know you don't want to but I think you should tell Tray"
"No no no I can't"
"June you have to atleast until you get the guts to tell mama and papa Taylor"
"Omg"
My phone started ringing and it was an unknown number. I answer anyways
"Hello"
"Yea this summer?" A deep voice said through the phone
"Yea who is this ?"
"Ray, But um can you meet me at the hospital?"
"For what?"
"Something happened to Cy"
"Omg , I'm on the way"
I hung the phone up. Everything in my life was on the wrong path, between getting my heart broke , June being pregnant, my mom bringing up people from the past, and now Cy being in the hospital.

June dropped me off at the hospital and now I was sitting in the waiting room with Kennedy, Ray, Mrs.&Mr.Morgan who flew back out here and Ray friend Ryan.
They said she was jumped by a group of people while leaving Starbucks. We had been here for 2hours now waiting on the doctor to inform us, I felt the tears sliding down my face but I didn't bother to wipe them.
"Here" Ray headed me a tissue.
"Thank you"
"You straight?"
"What it look like" I rolled my eyes. I hated when people asked that dumb question. Like no I'm not alright I'm crying aren't I?
"Yeah I don't even know why I ask that" he scratched the back of his head "Summer she go be alright"
"How do you know" I let out more tears look at the floor.
"I just know, she a fighter she go be alright."he rubbed my back.
"Yea"
"And ima kill whoever did this. And that's on my moma" he got up and walked out the hospital. I couldn't even say anything.
2hours later the doctor finally came out. He told us that they had to put her in a 'medically induced coma' due to all the swelling. When we walked in her room and seeing her body just made me tear up even more.
Kennedy was holding my hand the whole time. "SSS-Summer look at her man" she cried on my shoulder causing me to tear up more.
"I know baby but she go be alright, you herd the doctor the swelling should go down in a few days and she'll be up and smiling"
Touching her face Kennedy kissed her on the forehead. She had scratches and bruises everywhere but she was still beautiful.
Taking off my charm bracelet my auntie gave me when I was 5, she told me it will always protect me even when she isn't there, I put it on Cy wrist and exit the room.
Ray had came back and offered me a ride home I turned it down but he insisted on taking me. It was 10pm and luckily I only had to go to school to pick up my cap and gown tomorrow.
The car was quite, but I guess that's because we both were trying to get our thoughts together after seeing Cymone. "Want me to stop and get you something to eat?" He said breaking the silence.
"No I'm good"
"You sure ?"
"Yea I ate before I came to the hospital"
"Okay"
He turned the radio back up then looked at me and turned it back down. " wanna talk about it?"
"No"
"Why"
"Cause I don't"
I wasn't a fan of opening my self up. Only person I opened up to way Tray cause he was literally my bestfriend but since his daughter been boring we barely get 1 on 1's.
"She had got mad at me for beating Jermaine up" he chuckled
"Why though"
"I don't know" he shrugged his shoulders. " it piss me off because she really think I was go let him slide for putting his hands on her. I never liked dude anyways I been had beef with him , before I even found out they were dating"
"Why you had beef with him"
"It's a long story"
"Well I mean traffic's heavy and it's go be a long ride to my place so go ahead and tell it".
