Chapter 4: Part I
Amaya:
Beep beep beep!
My alarm sounded and I groaned.
How is it already 6 am? I definitely don't want to go to class this morning but I'm also ready to graduate.
I rolled out of bed and went to check on Cameron.
"Good morning mommy." He said already sitting up in his bed.
"Hi baby." I said now kissing his cheeks.
"What are we doing today? Can we go to the park?"
"First you need to go to daycare while I go to class then I will take you to the park."
"Okay!"
"Okay let's get you dressed."
I walked into the bathroom and Cameron followed closely behind and started to brush his teeth while I did mine.
After he brushed his teeth I dressed him and took him into the kitchen for breakfast.
"Pancakes please!"
"Okay Cam." I said turning on the TV for him to watch until breakfast was ready.
I put some frozen pancakes in the microwave simply because I didn't have time to make them from scratch, he won't know the difference.
"Come to the table Cam the food is ready!"
Cameron came running and sat down to eat.
"I'm going to take my shower and get dressed okay, stay here if you need something Mel is in her room or get me..."
"Okay mommy! Thank you or the pancakes!" He screeched.
I smiled and walked to my room. On my way there I passed Melanie's room. As I walked by the door opened an out walked Corahn closing the door behind him.
"Uhm good morning." I said awkwardly.
"Hey."
"Sorry about last night... I didn't know."
"It's cool Amaya it's your house..."
"Well ours." I said referring to Melanie.
"Well I gotta head across town to get to class by ten so I'll see you later."
"Yeah uh just lock the door on your way out..."
"Later." He said trailing off towards the door.
"Melanie?" I knocked on the door.
"Hey love come in!"
I walked through the door to see Mel in her closet picking out and outfit.
"Soooo..." I said.
Melanie laughed and looked away.
"What happened?"
"Well he came over last night to chill and we needed up chilling." She laughed.
"Did you use a condom?"
Melanie's laughter stopped as she thought about my question.
"Uhm." She sat running to her phone.
"Hello?" She said into the phone.
"No you didn't leave anything, I just wanted to ask did you use a condom?... What do you mean you don't remember...oh my gosh Corahn really... That's so irresponsible... Goodbye."
"I need some plan B or something."
"We can get it on our way to class." I said walking away rolling my eyes.
"Hey! Don't judge me you have a little one in there already!" She yelled.
"What did you say?"
"I said you have a little one in there already so don't go rolling your eyes judging me!"
"Melanie clam the fuck down. I'm not judging you but this isn't the first time this has happened. You made it clear once that you didn't want a child."
I said walking away and slamming her door.
I went to check on Cameron, when I saw he was fine I went to take my shower. I can't believe Melanie would say some shit like that to me she's just a hypocritical bitch sometimes.
After I got dressed I packed my bag and got Cameron's toys together. I walked to the kitchen and made myself a quick plate while contemplating whether or not I should leave Melanie's ass. Sometimes you would think I was the older sister the way she acts.
"Melanie I'm leaving!"
I shouted while walking to my car and locking the apartment door.
I got into my car and first dropped Cameron off at the day care and then made my way on the fifteen minute drive to campus.
As I pulled into the parking lot my phone buzzed from a text.
Javaughn: good morning beautiful I'm on my way to class but I'll call you later
Me: good morning ;) and okay
I replied then grabbed my bag and walked into the marketing hall.
I took a lot of summer school classes because my parents are in LA so I don't have to leave the state to visit them. Now I only take two classes marketing and sports business. Easy classes in the morning and then back home by noon.
After my last class I called Chrishelle to see if he wanted to have lunch.
"Hello?"
"Hey boo." I said.
"Hey lady what's up?"
"What are you doing today? You wanna grab lunch?"
"Yeah girl I got an hour class in ten minutes but we can go after that?"
"Okay imma go get Cameron from day care and then come pick you up."
"Okay I'll text you."
"Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up the phone and rode back to the day care. I walked in and checked Cameron out of his classroom as I always did.
"Mommy!"
"Hey baby, how was your day?"
"Good." He said holding my hand out to the car. I strapped him into his seat and took off towards USC. USC was only thirty minutes away from where I live so I'm always down there. I'm surprised I've never met Javaughn until a few days ago since I'm always there.
I thought about going home to get Melanie but I decided against it and drove straight to USC.
Once I arrived at the university I saw a small park that could keep Cameron busy until Chrishelle go out of class.
"Cam do you still want to go to he park?"
"Yes!"
"Okay we'll go to this one." I said and then unstrapped him from his car seat.
"You wanna go on the swing?"
I asked as we walked towards the park.
"Yes please."
Cameron had been on the swing for about ten minutes and he started to fall asleep.
I picked him up and brought him back to the car.
While I was walking I heard someone yelling my name.
I turned around to see Javaughn walking toward me with Corahn.
"Hey." I said
"What's up?" He said giving me a hug.
"Nothing I came to meet my friend for much but she's still in class. And little man wanted to play at the park." I said looking towards Cameron.
The space between Corahn and I was really awkward after this morning but I didn't say anything if he didn't.
"Whose your friend?" Corahn finally chimed in.
"Chrishelle"
"Oh." He said his facial expression changed like he had bad gas, but I didn't mind it.
My phone buzzed with a call from someone. I switched Cameron to my other hip while trying to find it.
"Can I hold him?"
"Yeah. Thanks." I smiled.
Javaughn took Cameron in his arms while I answered the phone.
"Yes Melanie?"
She didn't say anything I just heard sniffles.
"Melanie wtf hello?"
"I'm pregnant."
"What do you mean?" I said walking away from Javaughn and Corahn.
"Yeah I'm pregnant I went and took a test earlier."
"Okay I can't really talk right now I'll be home at like four we'll talk then, okay?"
"Yeah bye."
I hung up the phone and walked back to Javaughn and Corahn. While I was walking back Chrishelle texted me that she was ready.
"Hey my friend is ready so I'm gonna go now I'll see y'all later okay."
"Bye Amaya." They said in unison.
I took Cameron from Javaughn while he hugged me and kissed my cheek. I blushed and said bye one more time before meeting Chrishelle in the campus lobby.
Beep beep beep!
