1 Year Later

Tereny had given birth to our son, Britten Lamar Golden just about a month ago and the shit was just sweet. He's my lil man and there's nothing that anybody could tell me about him. He's the splitting image of me and I hate to be so honest, but just watching my son be born was almost better than watching Britney being born. A nigga cried tears of joy because he's my first son. Of course Britney's still going to have a spot in my heart, with her bad ass, but Britten needs that special attention because he's going to be the one fighting for her when a nigga try her, but I'm sure Britney is cool with that.

    And it's official, Keira and Chris are one of the best couples. At first, I wasn't feeling it, but they didn't need to know that. But it doesn't faze me now simply because Keira makes Chris happy. Keira graduated and turned eighteen and shit. Her ass was too damn happy for that. On top of that, Chris went ahead and proposed to Keira and all that. I'm happy for the both of them. It also works out for me because I don't have to worry about a mothafucka mistreating Yasmin. Yasmin is Chris's heart and joy and I couldn't have asked for a better person for Keira to be with. I'm glad that she's with someone that I can trust with my daughter and not have to worry as much. They're currently in the middle of packing up and shipping out, though. Chris can't stay away from Georgia for too long and I visit there on a regular anyway, so it's no harm done to me. Keira gotta live her life, too. I can't stop her there. I'm just glad she finally has someone who cares a lot for her and not have to worry about Adele's bullshit any longer.

    My big sis, Cheri, she's still battling her demons when it comes to trying to remain single and celibate. I made a bet with her a couple of days ago about her not being able to go long without sex and all that. She thinks she can actually do it, but we'll see. She and Keira's big bro, LJ have been a little close and he seems to make her happy. He doesn't pressure her to do shit she doesn't want to and plus, he's real good with Cashmere and Jeremih. But from what Cheri says, they're just friends. But we'll see how long that works the fuck out. Not long...

    Jeremy isn't too fond of Cheri's new friend and makes the shit known that he ain't cool with LJ being around his jitty bugs. But, hell Cheri's her own woman and they're separated. There's nothing much he can say about it. Plus, from what Cheri tells me, he's got a baby on the way from some female. I'm sure he'll lighten up one day, just not right now. It's probably still fresh on him that there's another nigga wearing his shoes, and he ain't too happy with that shit. I don't think I'd be too happy with it either.

    But my situation...well...let's just say that my ass is numb from driving up here to this damn place. I ain't too happy that I had to make a trip. But believe that it was for a known cause.

    The whole ride up here, my chest has been bothering the shit out of me. I don't know what in the fuck possessed me to do any of this shit, but I knew that I wasn't doing this for me and I could turn around and walk out of here before the time comes.

    I looked at the time on the clock as I sat down at the table. It was only 11:10AM. So I looked around the room to see everyone else sitting at a table, talking with each other, all smiles and happy and shit. All I could do was keep control of my breathing to slow down my heart rate a bit because it was knocking through the roof. Part of me just wanted to get up and walk out, for real. I was trying my hardest to convince myself that I needed to be here; it's important.

    A girl sitting at a table with this dark skin dude had caught my attention as the both of them were staring into each others' eyes and talking. Probably telling each other how much they meant to one another. It sucked that the girl couldn't touch him. And this is the way that she chose to live her life, supporting a nigga behind bars because he fucked up. But did he ever come to prison with the intentions of not being there for her? Did he tell her that he didn't want shit else to do with her before coming here? I don't think so. And this is where Martray had gone wrong.
