Everybody uses his birthday so I'm skipping over it

After spending all day with Kentrell for his birthday, I eventually decided to go back home because I couldn't avoid my mom for too long. I know she was upset about me being pregnant but at the same that was the time I needed her to be a mother the most, and she wasn't there.
"Sweet Jesus" I whispered amongst myself as I entered the house and closed the door behind me. I could hear movement coming from down the hall in the living room which caused me to walk that way. My mom sat on the couch snuggled up to her blanket while she watched tv with a mug of tea in her hand. Her eyes reverted over to me and she laughed slightly before looking at the tv again
"You finally decided to come back home?"
I inhaled deeply and slowly released my breath before walking over to the couch where she sat. She sat up a little and patted the seat next to her
"Come sit down"
I took the seat she offered and sighed before talking
"Mom, I know you're upset about what happened but I-"
"Jordyn. It's not about the fact that you were pregnant. It's more along the fact that you lied. I asked you were you using protection and you said yeah. I knew you were sexually active and I can't stop you. My biggest concern is your safety"
"We do use protection.. except for the first time and we were just caught up in the moment. It just happened"
"And that's all it takes Jordyn. That one time could've ended so many ways. You just had a miscarriage because of that one time. Did you even know that you were pregnant"
I shook my head and she exasperated softly while placing her mug on the coffee table and grabbed my hands
"Babygirl. I know you're growing up and I know you probably hate hearing me lecture about stuff like this. But I'm only doing it for your good! You just experienced something no mother wants their child to experience and not only was I scared for you, but I was scared for myself because I didn't know how to handle something like this so all I could do was react with anger and that was insensitive of me and I deeply apologize for that"
Hearing my mom actually apologize actually brought tears to my eyes because being in the field she's in, she hates admitting when she's wrong and to know that she humbled herself enough to apologize meant something.
"I love you babygirl" she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me while kissing my forehead
"I love you too"
"Now go ahead upstairs and get you some sleep. I'll talk to you in the morning, alright"
I nodded before getting up and headed upstairs to my room. As soon as I changed and got into my bed comfortable I received a text message
Mikaaa How are you? You okay?
Yeah I'm fine now
Mikaaa GREAT! I'm coming over to stay the night so don't get too comfortable in bed
Oh bitchhhh
I laughed and locked my phone only to receive a FaceTime call from Kentrell. Almost immediately I answered it and saw him laying shirtless in his bed
"Jodie"
"Yes boo"
He leaned forward into the camera and then sat back "you look fine as shit right now"
"I knew you was gone call so I had to look good for you"
"Lyin' ass"
I rolled my eyes and he put a cup to his lips, drinking from it and looked at the camera again
"What's in that cup?"
"Grown folk stuff"
"It better not be no damn lean"
"It is though"
"Kentrell. What I told you bout drinking that stuff"
"What what I told you every time you say it... you ain my momma"
"Okay and you ain my daddy but you still try to tell me what to do"
"I am daddy. And you know it" he muttered causing me to laugh "yo momma talk to you yet?"
"Yeah. She basically explained how she wasn't upset that I was pregnant. Just just thought I lied to her about using protection. I told her we do.. it's just that one time we slipped up"
He picked up his cup and drank from it again
"You know what. You ain ever told me bout what all the doctor say"
"About what?"
He sat the cup down again and looked in the camera. "You know what I'm talkin bout. How far along was you?"
"He said I was around 12 1/2 weeks along and they can't find any logical reason why I lost the baby"
"They ain try hard enough"
I laughed a little at his remark and turned on my side "baby what else can they do? They did all they can"
Kentrell just shook his head and I sighed
"It's gonna be okay trell. It just wasn't our time. You know... on the bright side at least we don't have to worry about changing dirty diaper or none of that" I tried to lighten up his attitude towards the miscarriage but he seemed to be stuck in his perception of it. Kentrell looked past the phone as I heard one of his friends talking in the background
"Say ima call you back later Ight?"
"Sure..."
And as soon as that one word escaped my mouth he hung up. I huffed and tossed my phone down on the bed beside me before hugging my pillow and blew out a breath
