Chapter 20: All Out of Love

Cassie’s P.O.V.

“Cass,” she said softly.

“I had an abortion. I couldn’t stomach the thought of having his baby. I killed an innocent human because of my personal issues. I’m a horrible person,” I cried. She pulled me into a hug as I let it all out.

“You are not horrible Cassie. If I were you, I would have done the same thing,” she admitted.

“I wish we talked this out years ago,” I mumbled.

“So does this mean we’re friends again?” She looked at me while smiling.

“No we’re not, we’re sisters” I pulled her into a hug.

“I’ve missed you Cass,” she whispered.

“I missed you too Nika,” I whispered back.

“I can’t believe that you actually got with the coach though,” I laughed as we drove back to the gym.

“Look who’s talking,” she joked. I guess we both are in the wrong. We walked in the gym arm in arm. It felt good to have her back in my life. We walked into Coach Graham’s office and saw Shad there.

“Look who made up,” Shad joked.

“Oh shut up,” I laughed as I walked over to him. I kissed him as Nicki went over to Coach Graham.

“You ready to go home?” He asked me. I nodded while shyly biting my lip. He smirked as we said bye.

“Why won’t you have sex with me Cassie? I’ve been patient and haven’t asked but what’s stopping you?” He asked me as we sat on his bed.

“I’m not comfortable with having sex after what happened,” I cried.

“You know I would never hurt you,” he pecked my lips.

“Okay,” I mumbled before kissing him back.

“You sure?” He checked one last time. I nodded as I took off my shirt.

Nicki’s P.O.V.

“I’m glad y’all made up,” Drake said as we drove to his house. We picked up My from my aunt and she’s currently sleeping in the backseat.

“I am too. I’ve missed her,” I sighed.

“So what are you going to do about Nae?” He asked as he pulled into the garage.

“I’ll talk to her tomorrow,” I shrugged as he grabbed My and carried her to her room. Drake officially got My her own room at his house. It really showed how committed he is. I changed into his shirt and got into bed. He got beside me and buried his face in my neck.

“I love you,” he mumbled.

“I love you too Aubrey,” I peck his lips before turning off the light. Somewhere in the middle of the night, I heard the door open.

“Mommy?” I heard My call.

“Yes baby?” I looked at her with her bunny.

“Can me and twinkle sleep with you and daddy?” She asked. I nodded as she got in the bed. She slept beside me as Drake wrapped his arms around both of us. It felt like we were an actual family for this moment and I will admit, I could get use to this.

Nae’ P.O.V.

“What do you want Blake?” I answered my phone.

“For you to tell me what’s up with you these past days,” she mumbled.

“Just leave me alone alright,” I snapped and hung up. I didn’t mean to be so rude but after my run in with a certain coach last night, I don’t really want to be bothered. There was a knock at the door. “Karla! Get the door!” I yelled as I relaxed on the couch. This isn’t my house after all so I don’t bother getting the door.

“Get it yourself!” She yelled from her room. I rolled my eyes as I got up. I swear if this was Blake then I would be highly annoyed. I opened the door and found Nicki standing there. I went to shut it but she put her foot in the doorway.

“What?” I snapped.

“Come on Nae, you’re still mad at me?” She questioned.

“Does this answer your question?” I turned away and walked back to the couch knowing I wouldn’t be able to get rid of her. She walked in and closed the door.

“I don’t see why you’re mad about me and Cassie being cool again. You and CeeJay are cool again,” she tried to reason with me.

“Don’t you dare do that! CeeJay and I have always been cool. We were force to pick sides every damn time you and that bitch fought,” I snapped.

“What’s wrong with you?” She looked at me in disbelief.

“Look, just don’t come running to me when you find out that she’s not who you think she is,” I walked off knowing she would leave.

Blake’s P.O.V.

“I just don’t get it. Why doesn’t she want me? Am I just not good enough?” I cried to Chimere.

“She doesn’t deserve you,” she whispered as she pulled me into a hug.

“But I’m in love with her,” I said softly.

“Blake,” she turned my face to look at her. She started to move closer to me and I mentally freaked out. Was she about to kiss me? What do I do? She leaned in and placed her lips on top of mine. I closed my eyes and kissed her back. I tried to get lost in the kiss but I kept thinking about Nae. I pulled away and shifted my eyes towards the ground.

“We shouldn’t be doing this,” I told her quietly.

“Blake, I’ve wanted to kiss you from the first time I laid my eyes on you,” she admitted.

“But you know I’m in love with Nae,” I snapped my eyes towards her.

“But we both know she’s not in love with you. Fall out of love with her and fall in love with me. I promise I can love you better than she can,” she tucked hair behind my ear. I fell into a staring battle with her. She was the only person I could look in the eyes besides Nae.

“Okay,” I nodded as she smiled. She smiled back and pulled me close.

“I’ll make sure you won’t regret this,” she promised.

“I better not,” I laughed as she leaned in. I closed the gap between us and kissed her. She kissed me back as I fell into the kiss.

Drake’s P.O.V.

“Daddy!” My yelled as she jumped on me. I closed my eyes and pretended to be sleep. “Wake up Daddy!” She shook me before sighing. I popped up and scared her. “AHH!” She yelled and then cut her eyes at me. “That wasn’t funny,” she pouted as I laughed.

“Daddy’s sorry,” I kissed her cheek before her face broke out into a smile.

“Happy Birthday Daddy!” She hugged me.

“Thank you baby,” I smiled as I smelled breakfast.

“Mommy is cooking,” she said as she dragged me out of bed. I got out of the bed and brushed my teeth. I then went downstairs to the kitchen. Nicki stood there in my shirt while cooking us breakfast. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her neck.

“Happy birthday baby,” she whispered as she turned around. I pecked her lips and thanked her.

“I want you to meet someone today,” I said softly.

“Who?,” she mumbled.

“I want you to meet my half sister, Jhene. She lives in Cali with my father,” I explained.

“Okay, how old is she?” She asked.

“She’s fifteen,” I answered.

“Alright,” she smiled.

Jhene’s P.O.V.

 

I grabbed a Popsicle and popped it into my mouth. My dad was out at work so I had the house to myself. I was just about to watch a movie when the doorbell rung. Who’s at my door this early in the morning? I opened it and was shocked to see my brother standing there with a kid and a girl. He hasn’t been home since his mother died years ago. He shut out the world so this is shocking.

“Drake?” I said in disbelief.

“What’s up kid,” he smiled. I returned the smile and jumped into his arms.

“Aubrey!” I practically yelled as he spun me around.

“Where’s dad?” He asked as he finally put me down.

“He’s at work. Who’s this?” I gestured to the girl and the kid.

“This is my girlfriend, Nicki, and this is our daughter, Mylan,” he introduced us. Daughter? She’s a little too old to be his kid? The look he gave me, showed me that he would explain later.

“Nice to meet you,” I shook Nicki’s hand and smiled at Mylan. I guess I’m an Aunt then.

~

“You did not!” I laughed as Nicki told a story about catching Drake singing Let It Go with My.

“He did!” Nicki laughed with me as Drake sat there in embarrassment.

“Hey! Daddy sounded good,” My smiled at him. It made a smile form on Drake’s face. He really loves that girl like she’s his real daughter. If he’s happy then I’m happy for him.

“Jhene?” I heard my mother call out as she walked into the house. I locked eyes with Drake and he seemed annoyed. He never got along with my mother because she is partially the reason that his parents split up. I was the mistake born along the way.

“In the kitchen mom!” I shouted. She walked in and was shocked to see Drake here.

“Aubrey,” she stated.

“Joelle,” he stated in the same tone as her.

“I see you ran off and created a family of yourself. I never knew you could be so irresponsible but then again, I kinda figured. You must take after your mother,” she smirked at him.

“Let’s go,” he told Nicki and Mylan.

“Mom!” I snapped at her and went to chase after my brother.

“Drake, I’m sorry,” I apologized.

“Don’t apologize for her. Next time I see you, I’ll be sure to do it at my house,” he pecked my forehead and then left.

“Happy Birthday,” I said sadly as he left. I stormed into the house mad.

“You’re the reason he never comes to visit!” I yelled at her.

“Don’t you dare raise your voice at me young lady,” she said sternly.

“Burn in hell,” I mumbled and walked out the house.

Chimere’s P.O.V.

 

“You’re so beautiful,” I brushed hair out of Blake’s face.

“Not as beautiful as you,” she mumbled while staring at me.

“Okay we are not gonna become that couple,” I laughed as we got up.

“Deal,” she giggled. I stared at her as she put on a huge hoodie.

“Why do you dress like that?” I asked curiously.

“Like what?” She scrunched up her face.

“I don’t know. It’s like you purposely hide your body even though not even those sweats can hide that ass,” I smirked as I grabbed it.

“I’m not comfortable with my body,” she said softly.

“Why?” I sat down and patted the spot next to me. She sat down and sighed.

“When guys hit on me, it’s awkward. So when I started dressing like this, guys would stop coming up to me,” she shrugged.

“Let’s go,” I smiled and grabbed her hand.

“Where are we going?” She looked at me.

“Shopping,” I pulled her out the door.

Nicki’s P.O.V.

 

“Don’t let her ruin your birthday,” I told Aubrey as soon as we got home.

“Trust me, she won’t,” he smiled at me.

“Come on,” I dragged him to the kitchen and pulled out a cake. I lit the candles and turned off the lights.

“Make a wish daddy,” My said as soon as we finished singing. He closed his eyes and blew out the candles.

“What’d you wish for?” I asked him.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” he smirked at me. I rolled my eyes playfully and went to cut the cake. His phone was ringing so he grabbed it. “I’ll be back,” he said as he walked out the kitchen. He was gone for a while so I went to see what was taking him so long.

“Thank you. It means a lot to know that you still remember. Yeah, I remember,” he laughed. Who was he talking to? I wasn’t really a paranoid girlfriend but after being cheated on continuously, it’s hard to ignore things like this. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Love you too Neb,” he smiled as he hung up. He turned around and was instantly met by my frown.
