As If She Were My Daughter

Chapter 23

Angel Collins 

I knew i was doing wrong. I knew I was a horrible person. It was just a bad feeling in my heart. "Angel" Mich said to me. I look up. I almost forgot we were about to go into a conference for the saints. He also chose to sign with them. "Look man i know that Tomeka having the baby is stressing you out. Man, the baby isnt yours and you are about to get married To Tori." He says shaking me. 

"You really think that thot is about to have your child?" He says to me looking me in the eyes. "Excuse me what is this about a child?" a microphone was placed infront of our face. Me ..a fuckin deer in headlights. "T-There was nothing about a child being said." Mich said into the mic. "sure there was. Something about a Tomeka?" The reporter questioned. "What about your pregnant friend?" My mom walks up askin me. She was here in GA for the conference.

FUCK! I was about to be in some deep shit. "Nothing mom" i look at mich pissed off that he wasnt more careful. "Mrs. Collins, It appears that Whoever tomeka is is pregnant with your sons child" The reporter spills. "WHAT?!" She yells at me. FUCK ! "nothing mom" is all i can manage to say. "Is that true ?! " she yells coming closer. "mom i dont know." i say looking down.

 "What do you mean you dont know?!" she doesnt lower her voice. "Mo-" i start but im interrupted by. "BOY TOMEKA WHOM YOU USED TO TALK ABOUT?! THE ONE YOU WENT ON A DATE WITH?! YOUR PREGNANT "FRIEND"?! NORTH CAROLINA TOMEKA?!" she yelled. I nodded. The reporter now had a mic to my mothers face and another reporter had a mic to my face. Mich stood there looking at the action.

 "So what are you going to do?" my mom asks me i can hear the anger still in her voice. "nothing" i say looking away. "nothing?" she says to me. "nothing." i repeat and walk away. For the first time in my life i feel lower than low. Lower than what i was feeling a couple minutes ago. The disappointment my mothers eyes was enough to break my heart. I got in the car a drove off back to my house.

As soon as i hit the door i went upstairs and i was greeted by Kamil and Tori. She looked up at me and just stared with blank eyes. "What?" i say to her. "so now the press knows?" she says. "huh?" i say back to her. "what you talkin about?" i question. She turns the TV on.

You heard and saw it here first. Angel Collins of the New Orleans Saints has a child on the way. The question is where is the mother and who is the mother?

She turns and looks me in the eyes. I stood there blank as they replayed the whole conversation with my Mich then my mother. I stood there in awe. How the fuckk could they do that? "Baby" I start as Tori picks up Kamil and walks past me down the stairs. "BABY" i say yelling after her and following close behind. "WHAT?!" she turns around on her heels and i come face to face with her. "WHAT?"she asks in a lower voice. I try to find the words but i cant. "exactly" she says as she puts Kamil down on the floor to play with his blocks. I look at him and smile. 

" I DONT LIKE HER " tori yells in my face causing me to put my attention back on her. " I KNOW YOU DONT !" i yell back. "SHE IS AN AMAZING PERSON TORI !" i scream back at her. "KAMIL DOESNT NEED A BROTHER OR SISTER UNLESS ITS BY ME!" i stop and look at her. "Tori why are you jealous?" i ask her. "BECAUSE NOBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE YOU LIKE I HAD YOU" She says pushing me. "AND TORI NOBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE YOU ! LIKE I HAD YOU!" i say pointing at Kamil. 

"DO YOU REGRET HIM?!" she screams to me. "no i dont regret him, but that's not my blood running through his veins Tori" i say to her. Her eyes turn dark. "thats not your child she has Angel." she looks away from me. " how do you know ?" i say gettin pissed at this conversation. "THE TIMING ISNT RIGHT. HOW IS SHE JUST GOING TO POP UP AND SAY ' Hi Angel remember me im Tomeka from that one night when we were drunk? The NFL you say? Oh well now im pregnant with your baby.'  LIKE WHO DF DOES THAT ANGEL?" she tries to mimic Tomeka.

"You" i say. "You knew that he wasnt mine... and you still told me he was. If it wasnt for the accident then i would probably still believe he was my actual blood son... but he's not. " i say to her. She shuts up. "exactly tori." i say to her then walk to my room and close the door. I lay on my bed and look at the ceiling. I pull out my phone and look at it ring.  I pick it up. "hey ma" i say in a sad voice. "Hey baby. we need to talk come on and meet me outside. " she says before hanging up. 

I get up go down stairs and walk outside to see my mother. There she was in that usual black  beat up eclipse. I promised myself i would get her a new one soon. I got in the car as soon as she unlocked the door. "Hey baby. " she says sighing long. "Hey mama." i say lowly. "tell me about the situation." she says to me.

"Mama... i just dont know what to do.. like she was supposed to make me forget about tori... and for a night she did. When she came all the way down here and she told me i wanted to believe her.. but the fact of it all is i cant. Everybody else is saying its not your baby. and my head is all fuckedd up because of it. Mama if Tori can lie to me like she did then i know for a fact that Tomeka can. " I explain it to her. "son,.. my question to you is.. did you have sex with her?" my mother asks. "Yes ma but protected s-" " is not always 100 son you know that." she says to me lookin in my eyes.

I nod. "Son, listen to how your mother sees it." i nod. "God knows i love tori to high heavens and back but what she did was wrong and you knew it was wrong but you gave her a chance. What if this is your littleee ..." "Girl" i say smiling at her.She smiles back. "what if this is your little girl. And you arent present in her life? Who will protect her from the little boys that come her way? Do you want to be the one or do you want another man to be the one to do it?" She questions. "Mama you know the answer to that question." i tell her rolling my eyes. "what if its not my little girl though?" i ask back. 

"then its not your little girl. But baby boy. You're taking care of a child now.. who was your bestfriends. IF and i do mean IF this is your baby girl what do you stand for if you can take care of a child that isn't by blood yours and leave the one that is blood in the rain to fend for herself?" she asks me.  I look down. She places her hand on mine. "think about it son" she says in a soft voice. Her phone rings. She picks up. "what the hell you want Lawrence? " she says talkin to my daddy. "Yes its possible we gotta granddaughter" she says and i can hear the excitement. "bye Lawrence." my mother says laughing and hanging up. She looks at me with a big smile. "Think about it." she says before i get out the car. I think about last night and what i said to her. I look at my phone and notice i still had an unopened text from her. 

"FUCK YO CHILD SUPPORT. IT CAN NOT REPLACE YOU IN HER LIFE!!!!" i chuckled to myself. She's right. I walked back in my house. I gotta stop listening to other people and their comments. I think to myself.
