it cant be true

“ it can’t be true”
It was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong.
“Ring, ring, ring” the noise of Mona’s phone woke her up.
“Hello,” Mona answered.
“Girl you still in the bed? Get up! Now you gon’ be late,” Shanti told her. Mona rolled out of bed, rushing to the bath room, as she thought to herself “dang, I’m starting the day off wrong already”.

School had went by so slow today for Mona, even though she got to school third period. Everyday after school Mona would normally go to her boyfriend’s house, but today she had an appointment at the clinic. This was Mona’s second time going to the clinic because she was afraid she was pregnant. Mona always thought about how her life would be if she were to have kids by Robert. All she could say was that they would be fine. Mona was 5”2, carmel skin, with black hair to her back. She had a swagg that was on point, and all the females wanted to be her. Robert was 5”6, light skin, with hazel eyes, and a smile that could light up the room. They’ve been together two years, and they were perfect for each other.

“Hey babe, you ready?” Mona asked Robert.
“I’m sorry boo, I cant go with you. I have to watch my brothers. I’m sure you aint pregnant tho’. Its proly a mistake like last time,” Robert replied.
“You know I wouldn’t mind having your baby tho’. You’re my man and I love you”.
“Okay, call me when you get out”.

The whole time Mona was at the clinic, all she could think about was how Rob didn’t say he loved her back. “Maybe I’m trippin’”. She didn’t like to trip on him a lot because she didn’t want to push him away.

“Girl I just left the clinic,” Mona expressed to Shanti.
“You were in there forever and a day” Shanti joked.
“Yea, but where you at? What’s all that noise?”
“Girl my brothers, but Imma call you lata,” Shanti hung up the phone so fast she had Mona worried.
“DANG, she must be busy, she didn’t even ask if I was pregnant or not”.

At the bus stop Mona decided she would do a surprise visit by Rob’s house, so she can see his expression when he heard the news. As she knocked on the door, her hands began to sweat. She was nervous and excited at the same time. Rob’s brother Maurice answered the door. He looked surprised and just stood there.

“Are you gonna let me in?” Mona asked as she pushed through the door, and laughed. “Where is Rob?”
“Umm…he’s in the back, but wait here,” Maurice responded
