Best Life

18

It's been a month, and the new house is fine, It's like a normal house, but I'm grateful. Aurora suggested that I get a job to support the baby so I did, I got a job at the movie theater, doing popcorn and shit. I also shovel people's sidewalks and driveways in our neighborhood for money since it started snowing.

Asia is 3 months pregnant now and she's starting to show a baby bump. With my money from the job I started, I bought my Christmas gifts already. I even bought my parents some gifts that they can get in the mail. 

Mateo posted something saying that I was lying and everyone else was saying "Believe the victim" and shit like that so life is pretty much good.

In my free time, I also started streaming myself playing the game, and my stream is pretty successful, honestly, I could quit my job and just stream, but I like the movie discounts.

Today is the last day of school before Christmas break. Aurora decided she wanted to tell people she was pregnant today, so we were both going around saying "guess what" to our friends, it was quick for me, but took a while for her.

I sent both my parent's a letter telling them I'm going to have a kid. I wish I could visit them, but I can't afford a plane ride to New york. 

"MJ, Asia, guess what." I anticipated. "Bitch what!" MJ spat out. "Damn ok, I'm having a kid." "Oh my god yes! Our kids can be Besties!" Asia exclaimed "I got some news too... I went for a check-up and I got the gender of my baby,  I do not want to know, but I want yall to read it, to yourselves" She said handing MJ an envelope "Yes! Ian owes me 50 bucks!" 

I chuckled as I read the envelope. "Oh shit!" I exclaimed, putting the note in the envelope. "Yea I want to do a reveal at like 6 months, and I want yall to be in charge of planning it," she told us.

As I walked into the Counselor's office and sat down, she handed me a bag of food. She has been buying me food and I don't think she will stop until I eat it. I'm in a good mood today so I ate some.

"Anything new?" Ms. Rita asked me. "Yes, I got a job, my stream is great, and I'm having a child with someone," I told her as I bit the burger she bought me. "Looks like your living your Best Life right now, I'm happy for you."

"Thanks, I'm happy for me too," I said smiling. "People say that a child is given to a mother when she needs it most, but I think this child was given to you because you need it most." Ms. Rita randomly said. "I think so too, I feel happier now that I and Aurora are having a child," I informed her. 

"I'm glad you feel happier, I hope this child is healthy and always protected, this child is going to have VERY good parents," she said, emphasizing very.

After that, I went to class, late again. I handed the teacher the pass, and he stood up. "Lathan, I am sick and tired of you getting to class late every day, I don't care what goes on in the counselor's office but you need to wrap it up earlier now, You know you have class." my smile dropped. "You're the one who wanted me to go in the first place" I mumbled as I went to my seat. "Say it louder for the whole class to hear." the teacher yelled across the room.

I took this opportunity "I said you smell like ass!" I said with a smile as I sat down. I know I'm going to get in trouble, but so what. He went on with teaching as I sat there, doing nothing.

Once we got home, I started my stream, I decided I would do a chill, stream. Me and Aurora, playing Minecraft. "Aww look at the pig," she said, looking at a pig in the game as I walked over to the pig and killed it. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" she asked me as she started killing me in the game. "Aye!" I exclaimed, pulling my sword out and killing her. 

After we streamed for an hour I got ready for work. Today I decided I would put my two weeks in, I'm missing a lot of the pregnancy and It doesn't pay well. I make more off one stream than I do in one week of working here.

After work, I decided I would walk home because It was a nice wintery night. A car gon pulls up and someone's head sticks out the window. Russ? What the fuck is Russ doing here. He stuck his head in and a hand from the backseat stuck out with a gun, What the fuck.

I look over and It's a whole bunch of trees, I jet into the trees and run. I hear doors slamming and people yelling. "He's getting away!" I run until I see a fence, I hop the fence and now I'm in someone's backyard. I look back and Mateo is behind me with the gun. "What are you doing?" I asked in between breaths. "I want you to publicly take back everything you said, or I will find you," He said. He doesn't even sound out of breath.

People in red robes jumped the fence behind him and stood around me, I could see the gun imprints in the robes. What the fuck type of Illuminati shit is this? "Mosey, we are watching you." They all said at the same time.

"I ain't taking shit back" I yelled to him. "Yes, you are." One robed man said and I felt cold metal touch my neck. "If you gon kill me, just do it!" I shouted. All the robed men looked at Mateo and he shook his head no. "You got a fucking month, You hear me!" Mateo shouted. "I want you to-" He got cut off by a flash. We all turned to the house a man was recording and a woman taking pictures. The people inside ran to the front and the next thing I know I heard a car start and pull off.

The cold gun was released from my neck and I let out a deep breath. Then I got hit and immediately hit the ground.

I was awakened a few hours later in the snow, They took my phone. I got back to the sidewalk and Ran home. I checked the internet and the video the people took had already gone viral on Twitter, I scrolled and the next thing was Mateo being arrested. God is good!

Now, what is Mateo gonna do?
