Live Love Laugh Ft Diggy Simmons

Chapter 15: 99 Problems

I had not spoken to Diggy since the day he broke up with me. I heard he was going on tour with , Jacob Latimore, Ace Primo and Zendaya Coleman . Kay and Eboni tried to convince me to go, but I refused to go, I couldn't even think of him without my heart dropping. I guess the thought of him was unbearable. He must have forgotten his promise to me, that's what hurt the most. Diggy Simmons made a Promise and did not live up to it. But that's not the end of my chain of issues. My grandma decided to moved back to South Carolina and she isn't taking KJ with her, which is what I expected.

All the past event happened in a month meaning there was a month and some weeks until school starts. I will be leaving for Howard on August 16 to make the check-in for new registration. The fact that I was going to the college that I have been dreaming about since I was in middle school made me very happy. But then all my excitement was bulldozed over a cliff when I found out that KJ was coming to live with us and my mom said that she will not be taking of him.

"Erica Khalil is not my son so therefore I will not be taking care of him." My told me.

"Mom what the heck do you expect me to do, give up my full ride to Howard to take care of him."

"YES ERICA TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE YOU HAD HIM NOT ME"

"I wanted an abortion but you wouldn't let me get one now who's fault is that?"

"listen hear little girl you better find something to do because he is not my son so I will not be taking care of him."

"4 FREAKING YEARS IS ALL I NEED MOM 4 YEARS"

"NO NO NO AND NO YOUR ASS BETTER FIND A COLLEGE HERE IN LA"

"SO I GOTTA GIVE UP MY DREAMS FOR HIM, I TOLD GRANDMA TO SEND HIM TO KHALIL I'M NOT HIS ONLY PARENT REMEMBER THAT. OH THOUGHT I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION"

"Erica I'm not playing you better step up to the plate and take responsibility even if that means making sacrifices."

I looked at my mom with pure anger and knew she was being serious. I am going to have to give up everything I worked so hard for. I had already made a friend at Howard and she was expecting me to be there early on freshman week .

The week after my dreams were shattered KJ had moved in. I was not giving up on school so I had to look for a community college in L.A. I despise Community college which is why I worked my ass off in school to go to Howard.

"KJ come down for your lunch." I yelled from down stairs.

"Ok ."

Being around KJ 24/7 was a little awkward considering I was barely there for him for the first four years . I looked up and saw Karlita carrying KJ downstairs. "Um You do know that he can walk right?"

"Yea but he's so cute."

"What the heck does that have to do with you carrying him? "

"Erica he's just so small, I see he won't be very tall when gets older. "

"Don't be jinxing my child."

"You act like I'm lying. "

Karlita sat KJ down In a chair and took his food off the counter gave it to him. Later that day Eboni came downstairs crying. I figured she had either heard the news Chres was moving out of town or she was leaving my house to go back home. Eboni did not like being at home at all. She would always find ways to get out of the house. Once she heard that Karlita was coming over for the summer she asked her mom to spend the summer with me.

"Erica why did you let me get into a relationship knowing that I wouldn't be able to stay in it for long?"

I turned my head and looked at her like she just confessed that she was doing drugs.
