HONESTY

O ne Week Later:

Life has a way of beating you down, and it’s definitely tearing my ass up. My cousin has been such a blessing to me, but it’s been hard as hell for me. I was able to find me a job almost immediately at the Elixar Hotel as a housekeeper until I got really sick. I was unable to work for over a week, and got fired. I was so sick I ended up in the emergency room, and I found out that I was two months pregnant. I was in shock because I was still getting my cycle. The only thing that was off with me was the fact that I got so sick. I mean, I couldn’t get out of bed, and it was like that through my entire pregnancy.

I had so many emotions going on because I wasn’t ready for a child, and I damn sure didn’t want to have one with Case. There were so many times I contemplated on an abortion, but decided against it. I kept telling myself that I opened my legs to get pregnant, so I was going to open them to have this baby. My mom would’ve been so excited to have a grandchild. I miss her so much. My dad was shot and killed when I was five, and my mom died from Breast cancer when I was a junior in high school. That shit broke me because I couldn’t move on from losing her.

My mom was my everything, and not having her killed my spirits. The reason I love Christmas so much is because that was her favorite time of the year. We would always make cookies, drink eggnog and hot chocolate, and watch Christmas movies. She said she was raised with her mom putting nuts, oranges, and candy in a brown paper bag because they couldn’t afford stockings. So, she did that for me, and even though I had a stocking, she put some of the same things that she had when she was my age in my stocking, and that meant so much to me. When she died, I went to stay with my aunt Sylvia, and my cousin Mena. Having Case in my life took my mind away from all of the stresses of the world. I thought he was good for me, until I moved in with him and our sugar went to shit. My phone ringing pulled me from my thoughts.

“Hello.”

“What’s up, beautiful? You got everything you need for tomorrow?” Rob asked.

“Yeah, I’m just trying to get things situated for Oshea. I just hope I’m not moving too soon; Oshea is only a month old.” I sighed.

“You’ll be fine, baby girl. Come hang with a nigga for a minute and let me rub on that fine ass booty.” I could hear the smile in his voice.

“I can’t tonight. Mena isn’t here, and I need to get some rest for tomorrow,” I told him. We spoke for a few minutes longer and then ended the call.
