Chapter 23

2 months later

|Myla|

It's been 2 months since the situation with August seeing pictures of me and Quan at the mall. He ignored me for about 2 weeks straight and then he finally decided to so called talk to me. He thinks it's best for us not to be together he didn't even let me explain what happened he just ended the relationship and dismissed me. The worst part about this all is that he's been seen with this girl named Brooke Valentine lately they have pictures of them all over the shade room. I also found out last month that I'm pregnant. I never got the chance to tell August because he just shut me out after the break up.

I'm trying to take all of this in day by day but it's hard. I'm pregnant, nobody knows I'm pregnant but mama Sheila and my mom. I'm alone , depressed , the love of my life is upset with me and it looks as if he's already moving on and so much more emotional issues are going on with me I just don't know what to do. My doctor said I need to take it easy for the sake of the baby but I'm trying it's just so hard.

Mama Sheila called this morning telling me to come over later tonight for a family dinner. Her and everyone else knew I was going through a sad time but they decided to give me my space. When I'm upset that's all I want is to be left alone with my thoughts.

I grabbed my phone checking the time to see that it's 7:00pm. I got out of bed goin inside the bathroom to do my hygiene. When that was finished I dressed in a white shirt, some jeans, a sweater and a scarf around my neck something simple for today. After I was done getting dressed I combed my natural long hair down. It was straight with a middle part. I went inside my bedroom looking at the full body mirror admiring myself. I rubbed my small pudge and smiled for the first time in a while.

I grabbed all my things and left out getting into my car and heading into the direction of mama Sheila's house. When I got there I saw a unfamiliar car in the drive way and the front door was already opened. I got out my car and went inside walking straight into the kitchen cause I knew that's where mama would be.

"It smells s-" I couldn't finish my sentence because a feeling of nervousness came over me. There stood mama Sheila and August they were having a conversation until they heard my voice.

"Look at you glowing" mama Sheila said to me squealing.

I was speechless cause I was too busy looking at August he was still fine. I'm tryna figure out what he's doing here I thought he was on tour.

August noticed me staring and cleared his throat finally speaking up. "Ma I gotta go I got my friend in da car waiting on me"

"Wait! You don't see Myla standing hea?" Mama Sheila snapped

"Wazzam" he said giving me a head nod and turning his attention back to mama Sheila.

"Hi" I said softly as my voice started to crack. The Man I thought loved me was standing right here in my face being so cold hearted towards me over something so small.

"Na dat lah heffa you got in da car witcha can wait! You and Myla got some serious stuff to talk about. I'll be upstairs resting and when I wake up this whole issue with y'all betta be resolved" she snapped walking out of the kitchen before we could say anything else.

I was so stuck in the daze I hadn't noticed a couple tears fell from my eyes.

"What you crying now fa? You wasn't crying when you was wit dat nigga!" August spat at me.

"It wasn't like that August" I cried. "I swear"

"Man please I aint tryna hea nun of dat bull shit ya tryna feed me fuck outta hea" he said. I looked in his eyes and I could tell it wasn't the August I fell in love with. He looked at me with hatred and disgust which broke my heart even more.

"I-im pregnant" I said wiping away my tears.

"Oh Yea ? congrats!" He said coldly

"August don't fuckin do this right now I'm being serious!" I cried

"So am I ! Dat ain't my seed ya carrying whea dat nigga Quan at? Look check dis out, don't bring ya ass back ta my mama house no more and next time you even think about calling a nigga phone my numba will be changed! Now go on bout ya bizniss aight? " he said pushing past me leaving me left with nothing .

I slid down the wall and curled into a ball crying my eyes out. Why me? It seems as if people always take things I do the wrong way. I gave that man all of me. Every bit of me and he just gonna leave me like this? I don't hurt anybody but yet im always the one heartbroken in the end. I love way too hard and if he really loved me like he said he did why is he taking all of this so lightly?
