*Destinee's POV*
I ran up the stairs as I heard the screams and crys of my baby. I ran up to the first floor and into my bedroom and picked my daughter, Elizabeth Hope Sykes, up from the bed, I rocked her back and forth but she still didn't shut up. Frustrated, I sat down on the bed, tears started forming in my eyes.
Why did he have to leave me when he found out I was pregnant?
I had moved out of my parents' house and moved in with my bestie, Ashley. We lived together in a duplex.
Ashley went to the highschool I used to go to before I became pregnant. I was homeschooled now, my mom is my teacher. Elizabeth's dad is Nathan Sykes, the popular guy from my old school.
Does he care about me? No. Does he know Elizabeth exists? No. All I'd heard from Ash is that he doesn't have a proper relationship, he just goes around sleeping with girls. But I had a proper relationship with him. A relationship that had lasted for one entire year, but when he found out about the pregnancy, he left me. Just like that.
"Destinee!" Ashley's fingers snapped in front of my eyes. She was holding Elizabeth now, "You okay?" she asked, "Yeah," I lied, "She needs a change," Ashley said and held the baby out. I took it from her and started changing her diaper.
After cleaning Elizabeth up, I sat there in my room waiting for my mom to come, Lizzy was sleeping in her cot. I heard a knock on my door, "Coming in!" I shouted, the door opened and my mom walked in, "Hey, bud," she said, "Hey," I said sitting up straight, she came over and sat down next to me on my bed, "I'll go and get my books," I said, getting up, "Wait," she said and pulled me back on the bed, "I have to talk you," my mom said. "About what?" I asked, excpecting the worse. "I can't be your teacher anymore. You'll have to go back to your old highschool," she said, "What?! Why?!" I shouted, "Me and your dad are going to move," she replied, "Why?" I asked, "He got offered a new job," she replied. I sighed, I decided to be happy for them, I mean, the reason I had gotten out of the house in the first place was so I could stop being a pain in their ass, and now, I was gonna be happy for them and not annoy them.
"That's great. Tell him I said congrats," I said, "You really don't mind?" my mom asked, "Of course not," I lied, "Good, now I better get going," she said and got up. She gave me a tight hug, kissed Elizabeth and left.
I went downstairs and sat down next to Ashley. "Sup?" she asked, I took a deep breath and told her everything. "Yes!" she shouted after I was done, "Show that bitch Nathan that you can live without him!"
I nodded.
As I got into bed that night, I was freaked out. I had decided to leave Lizzy at our neighbors house, Ash had talked to them and they said they didn't mind. Nervously, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
