Our AfterMath : An Urban Love Story

• • • , when I put those three dots it means I'm changing the point of view/location . Only two point of views this story will be in is Andre's and ChyNah's so you should know which is a girl and boy .. Comprehend.

I witnessed my mom die. She spoke her very last words to me, and stopped breathing. She didn't tell me she had cancer. I should've known. I should've noticed her losing weight. I should've noticed her skin becoming pale, and her hair starting falling out. I should've , but I didn't . I was so focused on all the wrong things. Now I have nothing except ChyNah. My father-August- hates me because of what my mom did to his wife before she died. My dad also hates me because I don't like his wife Essence. Before my mother died, she let her emotions take over her. She still had feelings for my dad , and she couldn't stand to see Essence pregnant with his child ,AGAIN. So, she stomped all over essence's stomach. Now they all hate her. My mom and Essence were enemies for a long time. The beef never did go away. Since I was 6, they despised each other. I am now 18. My mom died last month, and I will never be able to get over this. She told me to stop the drug game , but I can't. There's no way out of it, and she told me to marry ChyNah. We'll see how this relationship goes . We haven't really been talking lately. I've just been distancing myself from everyone. I haven't talked to ChyNah since my mother's funeral. I don't know why , I push her away like this. I just can't let anyone see my feelings . They may use it against me. I cannot let that happen. So , I will always keep my guard up. I just wish I could've made my mom proud. I guess some people aren't meant to have their happy ending , I'm one of those people. I have yet to have had a happy moment in my life . Sucks to be me! Maybe I should check on Chy.

I hopped off my bed , and rushed to go check my phone. I read the screen , and the contact name read " Dre👫💍 " . To be honest with you , I wasn't sure if I should answer. He hasn't talked to me in a month. I understand that he lost his mom , but that is no reason to just cut me off completely without any notification. I've called him and texted him. I even caught the bus several times to go check on him, but he never opened the door. He just pushed me away when all I wanted to do was care for him , and be there for him. I can't lie though, I've missed him a lot. I decided to answer the phone. Maybe it was serious. Who am i kidding ? I just want to hear his voice .

" Hello . " I said
" Hey baby. " Dre said in his sexy deep voice , I could tell he had just woken up
" Hi Andre . " I changed the mood by making my voice firm .

I wanted him to know things couldn't go back to normal that easy.

" Chy, I know you mad , but I'm sorry I just had so much going on. I'm truly sorry. I missed you. That's why I called . "

" Dre , things just can't go back to normal after you ignored me for a month and some change. I came to your house several times! Wasted my money to ride the bus just to come check on you, and guess what you did everytime ? You made it obvious you were home , yet you still never bothered to open the door. I called your phone & texted you to check on you. After I gave up , you didn't call not once to see if I was still alive . I just wanted to be there for you. You can't just use me and come back as if things were normal. I didn't even think we were still a couple. I understand we were only talking for a short while , and we weren't really official , but you didn't even let me know if you still wanted to talk on that level anymore. " I stated bluntly

He hung up.

Great! That little fucker.

I laid back on my bed , and turned my phone off. Why did I even catch feelings for him? He hasn't been treating me like the princess I should be treated like! I pouted , and fell asleep
