* Korey's Point of View * ~ back in August.

After I got off the phone with Ti talking about Keenan, I got myself together for the party the football team throwing tonight.

"Bro what you putting on tonight? Like I don't know if I should really pop out with a tough fit or keep it cool" my roommate Sean asked me.

"Honestly, I was gonna throw on this hoodie and a pair of black jeans with my balencis" I told him.

"Oh that's tough. Bet we giving tough tonight" he said. I chuckled at him and shrugged my shoulders "I guess".

"So was that your girl from back home?" He asked me I'm assuming about Ti.

"Yeah. She not my girl no more though, we broke up before leaving for school" I told him.

"That was a smart decision" he said "you think so?" I asked him "yeah, I mean long distance can work if both people want it to work but I feel like everyone deserves to have that college experience first being single. I mean I support and give props to those who do it. But me personally, I couldn't. Ima admit I'm clingy as hell. I like being on my girl and around her 24/7" he spoke.

"I feel you. I'm the same way. Ti always gonna hold a special place in my heart but I just know for a fact that neither one of us wanted to do long distance.. we felt like it was the right thing to do" I explained to him.

"So she holds a special place in your heart right? Now what if another female came about down here?" He asked me. "I mean that's not something I can really control if I meet someone else then so be it. I'm not really looking" I told him.

"Ard bro lets head to this party" Sean grabbed his wallet and phone, I did the same and then we left out to go hit the party over at Clark.

I never knew how close all three of these schools were. I love everything about it. We walked across the street and was officially on Clark Atlanta's territory.

The hall the party was taking place in was lit up with colorful lights and the music was so loud we could hear it playing all the way in our dorms.

There were a couple security officers around but it looked like they were chilling more than anything. I like it down here already.

Students was outside smoking and chilling, had the drinks in their hands dancing. Everyone was genuinely having a good time, not being afraid of getting caught just enjoying their lives before reality truly hits us.

We finally met up with the rest of the football team. "Wassup bro!" My mans Nate said "none man just coolin it" I told him. "Well I got someone for you that you can cool it with" he said. "I don't know bro" I said to him. "I know you just got out of this relationship with your girl man but you in a new state away from all of that. Enjoy yourself before you go back to her" Nate said.

"I don't think I can do that to her Nate" I told him truthfully. "I understand. I loved my girl. But if God wanted us to be together we would be together. Just look man be open minded about it. Her names Bre here she comes" Nate pointed her out to me and I do have to say she is a gorgeous girl.

"Bre I want you to meet someone" he called her over. We automatically locked eyes while Nate was introducing us. "Korey" I stuck my hand out "Bre" she said and shook my hand.

"Alright I'll leave you two at it" Nate handed us our drinks and then left us alone.

* current day * ~ November

It's almost thanksgiving break and I know when I go back home I'm gonna have to tell tiara what's happened.

I stared at Bre as she was sleeping beside me. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. It sucks that I hurt two girls I care about deeply.

The only person that knows about this is Keenan and my parents.

The only reason Keenan knows is because my dad told him, for some reason he felt that was gonna bring Keenan and I together. But Keenan has this vendetta out for me for taking Ti away from him.

But he promised to not tell her and I know he's not no matter how much he threatens me. He cares a lot about Ti and the last thing he would do is hurt her. Even though after she finds out. I know she's going to hate the both of us.

Bre was moving around beginning to wake up, as soon as her eyes opened they landed on me. "Hi" she smiled "Goodmorning" I smiled back and kissed her forehead.

"I gotta pee" she chuckled "need my help?" I asked her "noo I got this" she said. She began to get out of the bed, as she stood up I noticed her belly poking out. She's starting to show.

Bre has been pregnant since September. As corny as this sounds when me and her first met we made this connection. Now it was dumb of us to not use protection but it happened and now this is happening.

She told her parents and they were pissed off only because of the fact that she got pregnant by a boy she just met. My parents on the other hand were furious.

My mother cussed me out so bad.

* two months ago *

"Korey ... how could you! You literally just got to college. You just met this girl and you got her pregnant! What about tiara! Are you even gonna tell her? What are your plans for this baby? Are you coming back home? What is the girl doing? Korey what were you thinking" I never heard my mom sound so emotional. I knew she was really hurt because I did work hard to get here and they didn't have to come out of pocket at all for my school.

I messed up I know I did but it happened. Bre doesn't believe in abortions and I respect it. We're having this baby.

* current day *

"Wow I'm really pregnant" Bre's voice snapped me out of my train of thought. She was caressing her stomach. She was watching me watch her through the mirror.

"Did you tell her?" She asked me. I just stared at her and shook my head. "I don't know how" I spoke honestly.

Yes. Bre does know about Ti. I couldn't not tell her about her. Ti is the love my life.

"I know and I am sorry things had to go this way but we had unprotected sex and now we have to deal with it" she spoke. "How are we gonna do this? We're both from different parts of the country. We aren't even financially stable enough. I got football going on." I explained to her.

She started to tear up. "I know. This isn't how I pictured my freshmen year of college going either. Throughout these months I've grown a love towards you and this baby. We're gonna make this work. We can both still come to school we just can't really take part in all the activities. But sophomore year may be the year we drop out to take care of it" she said.

"I don't know if my parents will let me stay with them" she said "if anything you can stay with my family and the both of us can just attend community college. Get our associates and by the time the baby grows old enough then we can work on getting our bachelors. Even though my parents are dissatisfied with me right now. I know for a fact they will help us. They won't just leave us on the street to fend for ourselves.... come home with me thanksgiving break so you can finally meet them" I told her.

"You really think we got this?" She asked me. "If this is something both of us want. We got anything" I told her truthfully. As I was wiping the tears from Bre's face all I could think about was Ti.

I'm so sorry Tiara.
