Sa'Miyah Pov
I'm so tired I've been laying in bed all day. Tre' has been trying to get me out of the bed. He came over around 12:00 It's about 4:00 now. I have no energy what so ever. I feel so useless. I can't save my mother. I'm pregnant. I don't even know if I will be a good mother. No matter my doubts I am not telling Zi'Aire anything. I guess he won't ever find out. I mean he probably doesn't want to be bothered with a kid anyway.
Mo and Tre' will help me I'm sure of that. The other day was the worst day of my life. I found out too many things. I just am so confused and unprepared.
"Knock , Knock" , I heard my door open. "I know you not about to sit in here all day? I know you found out some difficult things but just know that God wouldn't put more on you than you can bare.", My beautiful mother said. She came and sat next to me on my bed.
"I know Ma but my heart hurts. I just don't know what to do. I'm in my senior year pregnant. I'm only 17. My baby's father is 23, he probably doesn't want anything to do with us. Ma he doesn't even know how old I am. I feel like I am deceiving him. Yet he never asked my age. But still Mama it feels wrong. What am I going to do.", I leaned over on her and cried.
"Hush up all that crying girl. You know I will be here for you as long as I can. Your friends won't turn there backs on you. You are an Ellis you hold your head high and you keep pushing through all your hurtles. We are strong women. I raised you to take on any problems you should ever have to face.", She wiped my tears and kissed me
"Now get cleaned up and come downstairs. Izayah is waiting and he wants to take you to get something to eat."
"Okay thanks Ma, Love you."
"Love you too baby.", She left.
I got up and took a shower. I pulled my hair back into a high ponytail. I found my yellow sundress and my gold Michael Kor sandals and put them on. Tre' must have shown twin where I stay.
When I came down the stairs I heard Twin talking to my Momma.
"Hey Bestfriend.", I said getting Zay's attention.
"Hey Bestfriend I missed you ugly. ', I laughed. He gave me a hug.
"Lets go I made reservations at Genjis."
"Oooh yass Zay you the truth. Bye Mama.", I hugged her. Then let Zay hug her. We left out of the house and got into his white Range Rover.
We listened to music in the car we didn't really talk. When we got to the restuarant. Zay helped me out of his truck.
"Hello how are you , welcome to Genjis name please." The pretty little hostess said. She was so small and petite
"Izayah Rodriguez"
"Right this way. Your waiter will be over soon." She sat us down and gave us menus.
"So whats been up with you Vegas. I heard you haven't been out the house in awhile. I am worried about you.", I have never seen Zay this serious.
"Im pregnant Zay."' There isn't any use in lying to him I mean I will grow sooner or later.
"Wow, really that's crazy. So is it by my brother or someone else?', I was hesitant.
"Yeah it's by your brother. But you can't tell him please Zay. I just don't want him to know yet. I will tell him on my own." I wasn't telling Zi but he doesn't need to know.
"Man. You know I have to tell my brother everything. But if you are going to tell him I guess I can wait on you. You better not wait too long either. I 'm here for you though.", He got up and hugged me. I am happy he won't tell his brother or whatever. He doesn't even understand how him supporting me is so uplifting.
"Thank you Zay. You don't even know how much that means. So what have you been up too?"
"Nothing just running the trap and trying to keep my hoes at bay." I laughed
"Boy bye. You need to stop messing with them nasty ass thots. But then again that's none of my business."
"Whatever. The hoes love me. I mean I'm Zay how can they not? But never get it twisted I Don't Love These Hoes. Its like two dogs. The male fvck the bitch, the bitch get attached and shit. The male might fvck a few more times but when the next dog in heat the male gone go fuck that bitch too. He leave the first bitch and move on but the first bitch won't move on from him. See I be moving on but these bitches continue to try and get with me. So really its not my fault I have hoes. They just follow me." Bruh came up with a whole analogy and everything. I'm crying. He a fool man.
"Get out of here man. You too much Bruh. I can't believe your logic. Man you have hoes because you choose not to be in a stable committed relationship. But whatever floats your boat.". He crazy man. In the short time I've known him I love him though.
"Hello my name is Nia I will be your server tonight. What drinks can I start you all with?", I said Raspberry Tea and Zay got a Pepsi.
"If your ready you can order now or I can come back." I got Chicken Manicotti while Izayah got Talapia on Rice. She went and got our drinks.
" Did you ever tell my brother how old you really are?", I was shocked I thought he forgot about that.
"Uh... S-See not exactly.", I cast my eyes downwards not wanting to see Z's reaction.
"Why not? We had an agreement. So I guess your gonna tell him when you tell him about the baby?"
"Yeahhh" I kind of dragged. I hope it sounded convincing. Zi'Aire Rodriguez would never know my real age or the fact that I was having his baby and that is final. No if, ands, or buts.
Zay phone started ringing he said it was his brother. They started talking.
"Aye what school you go to?", He said whispering
"Oakland", I whispered back. Idk why we was whispering but oh well.
When I responded he chocked on his Pepsi. I was worried, but he started talking to his brother again.

Zi'Aire's POV
I just got off the phone with my new boss Mrs. Summers. I got the job at Oakland High. I'm so hype. I gotta tell my brother.
I pull out my phone and called him.
He picked up after a few rings
"Wazzam Bro"
"Hey, I got news. I got the job at Oakland High." He sounded like he was whispering then it sounded like he choked.
"Zay?" I looked at the phone worried.
"Oh Zi I'm here I was um getting some uh head. Yeah some head. I had to tell her leave but she kissed my balls before she left so I choked.", My brother a clown man.
"Ok well I was just sharing my news with you."
"Yeah. Congrats bro you deserve this job." I did. I worked my ass off in college.
"Call me back later or some shit. I see you busy." I said after I heard a girl say 'Were you satisfied with my service today?' These hoes crazy man.
"Iight B" He hung up.
I'm about to go check up on the trap. No matter how much I want to stay away I just can't. I made a commitment to my father before he passed.
I checked in with my boy Stretch. He said things were good. Zay went by this morning so I don't have to go now.
I'm just going to stop by my moms house. Her name is Sherri Rodriguez. She is half Black and Dominican. She is only 44. Our dad passed at 42. He passed 3 years ago. His name was Juan Rodriguez.
I miss him so much. He taught me how to be a man. I wouldn't be the man I am without him. He was respected by everyone. No one crossed him. The hoes flocked but he never cheated on my moms.
Zay took his death the hardest. He was Dads shadow man. That's why Zay is so good at running the game and not showing emotion. He witnessed our dad kill someone for the first time at 12. Yeah he was young but he was taught the game early. Me I didn't catch on until I was about 16 I still run shit though. I rather be at home studying while Zay was handling business with dad.
I pulled up to my moms house. she lived in a quiet little quaint neighborhood. After dad passed mom didn't want her mansion anymore and she moved into a little ranch styled home.
I had a key so I walked in.
"Ma!!! Where are you?", I yelled walking into the living room.
"In the kitchen. Zi'Aire you need to stop all that yelling every time you come in here."I walked in the kitchen. She was at the counter eating a sandwich.
"I'm sorry Ma.", I hugged her and kissed her head.
"I missed you. You and your brother need to start coming over more. I be lonely in this house by myself since y'all won't let me work."
"Ma you don't need to work. Just sit around and be pretty."
"When are you going to give me some grandkids then so I can busy myself with them." See this why I don't come over here. Every time she see me she ask about me settling down.
"I don't know Ma. Maybe soon."
"Don't tell me you got one of these little skanks pregnant."
"No I didn't. I just have my eyes on someone I want to be my future wife."
"I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. But I don't see your brother settling down anytime soon. I never had hope for him." I busted out laughing because her face was so serious.
I love my momma man.

Izayah POV
Me and bestfriend had just got to my house. We finna watch a few movies then imma take her home. I was still bugging on the fact that I lied to my brother again. Man I don't know if I can keep doing this. Yeah I'm a good liar but only to hoes not my family.
I hope Sa'miyah tell him. I know she be lying when she say she gone tell him but whatever. If she don't tell him I will. She got me lying covering her ass. I guess Liars Flock Together Too.
