Kenya Amora Moore, known as Amore by close family members and friends, is shaken up by a series of unfortunate events that lead her to live with her aunt. In the space of a few days, she is hit with shocking truths and bitter lies. The revelations...
Domonic was mine, is mine and will forever be mine.
I search for a speeding car to stand in front of.
If screaming at him can't get his attention, this will.
Di big face gyal feel like seh him want her eno. Kill her dead! But pity she nuh know seh a me gaah St. E guh tie Domonic so we locked in.
A crown swings around the corner, hitting me just in time. The last thing I heard before everything went black was a loud "bomboclaat".
Gyal devn puddung her foot good and it get kick weh.

The horrid smell of the hospital shakes me conscious. My eyes adjust to the bright, white lights.
I look over to the side of the room but no one was seated in the chair.
"Doctor" I call for anyone who was in hearing range.
A slim woman in a white coat comes in.
"You're up" she says, checking the machines I'm hooked to.
"Did you see my boyfriend? Tall, dark skin, waves" I describe Domonic to her.
"You mean the young man who brought you with his girlfriend here? Because if so, he just left" she tells me.
As soon as she says that I feel my heartbeat speed up. Instantly, I'm filled with a sense of regret.
After me bruck me foot fi the bwoy pay me attention him just get up and leff suh. We done fi real?
My breathing increased as the machine beeped.
"Calm down, deep breaths" my chest tightened and I tried to listen to the doctor's words.
Affi find another way fi get him attention.
I tried to ease my nerves with false hope but something told me that he'll never spare me another look again.
A girl could only dream.

I rub my protruding belly, finding comfort in doing so for the past few months. I was currently waiting on Kenya to come from school so she could keep my company and so I could help her with her SBAs.
Cyaah attach dunce to the doll name.
All of a sudden, I felt for some vanilla ice cream with lime squeezed over it and a KFC ketchup packet.
Nasty yf.
We had ketchup packets and limes in the refrigerator but we didn't have any ice cream.
