Bag Lady:(Book One)

Bag 10-- The Fight

(Naomi Above)
(*2006* After The Break Up)

"Kada is going to beat my ass Janessa" Courtney said.

"Look if the fight gets too bad, imma jump in"

"But Nessa, y'all bestfriends. Come on now stop lying to me."

"Courtney, I swear if she start beating yo ass imma jump in"

"Alright whatever".

Kada, Courtney and I, we're like the three stooges. Bestfriends since the third grade. But stuff kind of got messed up, Courtney was talking to Kada's boyfriend, "Jason" at the time and I guess he took her virginity and Kada said she was going to fight Courtney and I wasn't having that, because she was cheating on Jason anyway.

We entered the school and Kada was all hiped up, the halls were crowed and Kada and Courtney was circled by students.

"Janessa hold my shit!" Kada yelled tossing me her book bag, I caught it and began to see what was going to happen next.

Courtney threw the first punch and the first thing Kada did was pull her hair until she fell to the ground, then she start banging her head againts the locker, blood started to spill everywhere. I dropped her book bag and got her off of Courtney and punched her in face multiple times, when she notice it was me, her face turned into a frown and she start choking me and that's when my older cousin Sabrina came in and all her friends start jumping her and we all had licks on beating her ass.

When I saw the principal come, I ran from the situation and after the fight my name was never brought up, Kada and I didn't talk for at least three months straight, until I appoligized. And she forgave me, but a month later is when I got rape.

So I'm wondering if this petty ass fight led to all of this.

I walked into my new apartment, since Dalonte gave me a break, I took the time to move Desireè and I out of that house. I closed the door and walked around the unpacked boxes and went into the bathroom.

I opened the plastic CVS bag and pulled out a Clear Blue Pregnancy Test, my period is late, so I have to check. I followed the directions, gave a sample of my urine like said and waited for about 3 minutes for the results to come back, I picked it up and an a bold format stated

Pregnant
3+

Tears filled my eyes and I just peered at the blue and white test while shedding tears. I can't do this again, I can't have another child by a rapist, I want my children to have a real father. I started sobbing like a young child, I can't take all of this.

"No! No! Why?!" I yelled

"Janessa, you just gon walk pass me like that?!" I turned around and saw Naomi at the door with some girls.

"Hey girl, I'm sorry" I hugged her and smiled.

"Girl you need to stop comin into work whenever you want to, I be bored"

"I'm sorry, im bouta really get back on my grind. I'm just going through some stuff"

"Like what?"
