My POV

Imani screams through her gritted teeth. " I already told you! He doesn't want her! " She said. " How do I know that your not lying? " Shyanne asked. " Would I lie about something like this? I want my baby to have a father! I told him and he denied it " She said. That was a lie. The truth is that she's too scared to tell him. She is scared because her mother says that her father abandoned her and her mother when she was born. " I don't believe you. And even if you did, why didn't you just get a child support case? " She asked. " Like you did with dad? " She asked. Shyanne slapped Imani. " Ugh! I hate you " She said. " If you hate me so much then get the Hell outta my house! " Shyanne ordered. " Fine! I'll never come back here! " She said and stormed upstairs. " Uh...? " Brooks said. She can't talk, but she was clearly confused. Imani packed her things as well, toys, bottles, pacifiers and food. " C'mon baby. We're going to aunties house " She smiled and picked her up. She grabs the bag and slings it over her shoulders. She walks to her best friends, Jayden, house. She knocks on the door and Darryl opens the door. " Um... Hello Mr halls I uh... I have a favor to ask of you guys... " She stuttered. She knows that Jayden's parents don't like her. " Ask, and I'll see if I should help you out " He said sternly. " Okay um... Could I maybe stay with you guys... ? Just for a little bit! I won't be a bother I promise! " She pleads. He shakes his head. " Jayden already is rebellious as it is. With you around I'm afraid she'll become even worse than now " He said and closed the door. Imani sighed. She sits on the steps and cries. It's almost afternoon and she needs to find a place for her and Brooks. She holds Brooks in front of her, she placed her pudgy hand on her face to wipe the tear away. She smiled. " You look like your father... " She said. Then she gets the idea. " Your father... " She said lowly. She knocked on the door but this time Jayden opened it. She smiled. " Hey girl! Come on in-- you brought Brooks with you?! " She cut herself off in shock. " No I'm good. I just wanted to know if you could drive me to Anthony's house " She said. " Yeah c'mon " She said. " Ma! Dad! I'm going out! " She called out to her parents. " Donde?! " Darryl said. " No te preocupes volveré pronto! " She replied. " He's still making you practice Spanish? " Imani asked. " Yeah, he says that I won't be able to get into college if I don't know two or more languages. He says next it's French " She rolled her eyes. They get into the car and drive her to Anthony's house.

~At Anthony's house~

She gets out the car and stares at the house. " Are you sure you wanna do this? " Jayden asked. " Yeah, it's the only other places I can go, my mom kicked me out and I don't even know who my dad is " She said. " You can stay with me! " Jayden offers. " Yeah, but your parents don't like me. " She said. " Who cares? I like you, your my best friend since the second grade " Jayden said. " No it's fine. And plus, he needs to know about his daughter " She smiled weakly. Jayden nodded and waved at the two as she drives back home. " Well looks like your gonna meet your daddy! " She smiled at the sleeping Brooks. She walks up and knocks on the door, but instead of seeing Anthony, there was another girl about the same height as her, wearing his shirt. " Who the fuck are you? " She asked. " You don't need to know. And obviously Anthony's type has gone down hill " She said and looked up and down. " You must not know who I am huh? " She asked. Imani looked shocked for a second then turned back to her normal look. " I almost actually gave a fuck " She said. " Who the fuck you talking to bitch?! " She asked. Anthony comes out the other room, just in his boxers. " Why you so loud? " He asked and then spots Imani. He then realized that she is holding a baby. " Um... Can I help you? " He asked. " I got something to talk about with you " She said. He looked around, wondering how she got her. " Aight come in " He yawned. The other girl was shocked. Imani dragged in her bags while still holding a sleeping Brooks. She sits on the couch, the other girl rolled her eyes. " Why are you still here? " She asked. " Can I not stay inside my house? " She asked. Anthony sits on the couch. Imani looked at him. " She lives here? " She asked. " No. Who told you that? " He asked. She smirked at the girl. The girl avoids eye contact. Imani turns back. " Oh so just a one night stand " She asked. He takes a gag. " Ew! No that's my sister " He said. " Then why's she wearing your shirt? " She asked. " That's her shirt, she takes my shirts and turns it into dresses or whatever " He shrugged. Imani nodded. " Okay, you said you needed to talk to me? " He asked. She nodded. " I wasn't gonna come here ever again, but then I got kicked out and my friends parents don't like me so here is the only place I can go... And... Um... Also.... " She said nervously. " And.... " He said trying to get her to spit it out. She looked at where his sister was standing, but she's gone. She sighed. " So you've noticed the baby right? " She asked. " Yeah " He said. " And also that she's light skin and has curly hair... " She added. " Yeah " He said. " Well I gave birth to this baby. And I'm not light skin and my hair isn't that curly " She said. He nodded. " But your light skin and also have curly hair " She said. He looked at her weirdly. She sighed. " What I'm saying is that this is your baby " She said.
