"I listen to you baby
And I know the things your going through
I try to understand,
That's why i'm still with you baby
See everyday we're living
There's one thing that'll always be unsure. That's why I need you baby, pleading baby
Please let our love endure
I tried so very hard
To keep our love alive
But you don't wanna meet me half way. Then the understanding dies
There's no way that we can work it out, If we don't pull together
I don't mean to be demanding
I want some understanding
I wanna be with you"

I sighed deeply as I hung the last picture frame on the walls of my new bedroom.

I used some of the cash Anthony gave me to get a one-bedroom apartment.

Because I'm independent now and struggling with cash, I decided it would be best if my baby and I shared a room. I can't afford a two-bedroom apartment right now.

I smiled, satisfied with my work.

The yellow carpet reminded me so much of Trinity, vibrant and bright. Plus, it's her favorite color.

I couldn't help but dial Trinity's phone number.

We haven't talked since mom kicked me out, and she must be worried sick.

I've been declining all of her calls, I just wanted to be alone, and I didn't feel like talking to anyone.

I shouldn't have pushed her away like that, but it was something I've always struggled with, I could never talk about my feelings. I always wanted to escape, to run away.

"Hello?" Trinity's voice sounded through the speakers

"Hey, Trin,"

"Serenity, where are you? How are you doing? How's the baby doing? What-"

"Trinity, I'm okay, and the baby's doing just fine. I worked things out with Anthony, and I have my own apartment now."

"Reni that's so amazing, I'm so proud of you,"

"Well, it wasn't all me. The money that I used to get the apartment came from Anthony."

"You could have easily used it for something stupid, I'm proud of you for putting you and your baby first. Have you been looking for any jobs?"
