What A Life

Chapter Nine -

Hell.

These days without Kelsey have been straight hell.

I called her multiple times, no answer.

I went to her house multiple time, no answer.

I tried to see if her sis, Kelly had talked to her, I got a answer..just not the one I wanted.

*

"Yo, J, wassup wit you and ol' girl?" TJ asked.

I haven't seen Kelsey in 2 weeks. Honestly, I was lonely. Being with her made me notice that doing the hustle, bullshitting with my boys wasnt as good as finding someone who understands you, your life, your thoughts, your heart and your mind. Everyone around the streets of Detroit knew me and Kelsey werent together. Mainly because I been on my hustle...hard.

"Nothin', why you worried bout mine?" I asked.

"Shidd. She yours, I know it." He replied.

Ever since, Kel called it, I been in the streets. Not even caring about the dough, it just took my mind off things. Len been calling me about irrelevent shit but I only answer when its about the baby. The results havent come in yet though. If the baby is mine, I'll do what I gotta do but if it isn't then thats where Kel comes in...

-------------------------

"So no results, yet' Kelly asked.

"No results." I answered, not even wanting to talk about the situation.

Me and Kelly were in the mall when I heard my name being called.. shit.

"Wassup baby!"

"Dia'Monte, I am not yo baby. How many times have I've been telling you that!"

"Whatever, but word around you and dude over. So wassup?" Dia'Monte replied.

"Nothings up." I said.

Kelly grabbed my hand and muttered a quick 'lets go'. I turned back around to Dia'monte as Kelly dragged me and saw Reginald..smirking at me.

here we go again..

"Why cant you just get some one to beat his dumb ass. Shit, I'll do it." I said.

"NO! Kelsey he's the father of my child." Kelly replied.

"But he's rejecting you and the baby and you feel sorry for his ass. It aint like when the baby come, he gone roll up and decide to become a man. Yall aint even together anymore. He ain't giving you shit, I am. Because I can play my role as a aunt and the father can't. So you tell me whats up." After I said all of this I was expecting someone to pop out and say 'AMEN!'.

After the shooting between me and Reginald, I got Kelly a small apartment. She was barely 3 months pregnant. She had got a part time job as a assistant in some law firm. She took out the weave and all the make up..She finally was getting her shit together.

"I'll talk to you later, Kel." was all she said and left the house.
