4:32 p.m.Naamah Briar.
It had been a minute since Naamah had spoken to Von, she was trying her best not to think about him but it was rather hard to do. Every time she shut her eyes she'd see him, each time she slept he'd be in her dreams somehow or someway. Whether it was just a person strolling past her on the street he was all she saw. Her mother, Lily, told her it was the fact that she needed closure from a situation but being al the way in Houston for the holidays she know she wouldn't get it, so she'd just have to suffer.
The more her love prolonged for him the sicker her body felt so she knew she really needed to get over him.
She pulled herself up from the bed and begin walking to the bathroom located in the hallway hearing the wooden floors creak beneath her feet. She grabbed her toothbrush, damping it with the water before she slid the toothpaste over the bristles. She brought it into her mouth beginning to brush her teeth as she did everyday. She heard a crack then her face scrunched in confusion, she reached inside her mouth and pulled out the object. Before her eyes was one of her molars located in the back of her mouth. It looked as if it was rotted out completely.
Naamah dropped the toothbrush to the floor and instantly fell back into the wall slowly sliding her body against it, letting tears fall rummage down her face. She started sobbing loudly beginning to wrap her arms around her knees, bringing them to her chest.
Her mother heard the commotion and soon entered looking around at the situation unsure what was going on, until she spotted the tooth on the floor. "Oh baby," her mother comforted getting down beside her. Naamah looked up at her, "I'm falling apart I-I don't know what to do," she confesses. She knew loving Von was taking a complete toll on her but she wanted to know why. She wanted to know why she was incapable of receiving love as well as giving it. It just didn't feel fair to her at all.
Her mother placed her hand onto Naamah's knee trying to assure everything would be okay but she knew it wouldn't, as long as Naa kept Von in her mind and kept loving him nothing would help her or heal her.
"It happened so fast I didn't mean to fall for him this hard," Naa admits looking to her mother's face trying to manage her words through the continuous tears.
Lily nodded with a sorrowed look, "I know baby girl."
Lily pulled Naa in her for a hug and she could sense something was off with her daughter's body. Lily quickly placed her palm over Naa's stomach which caused Naamah to grow curious. She pushed her mother's hand away looking at her unsure what she was doing. Lily swallowed the dried lump in her throat, "Naamah you're pregnant.."
