Natahalia's Song

Diary of a Crack Rock Lover Part 2

Chapter 2

            "Mamà! Mamà!" Marísol yelled as she held her large stomach and liquid was dripping from her vagina.

       Marísol had been feeling contractions all night.

        Elena was sitting in a chair smoking a cuban cigar. That was all she did these last 9 months. After work, smoke, after dinner, smoke. She felt like she failed as a mother when Marísol revealed that she was pregnant with Demetrius's baby. And even worse? Demetrius was one supplying Elena with her cigars.

        Elena refused to take Marísol to the hospital and luckily Demetrius's mother was home and she took Marísol to the hospital.

       No one was with Marísol as she gave birth to her beautiful daughter.

       Marísol cried as she observed her daughter's looks. She had Demetrius's lips, nose, and ears. She had curly brown hair and dark brown eyes.

       "Do you have a name for her?" The nurse asked Marísol. A name? Marísol hadn't really spent enough time to think. She was too busy chasing after Demetrius, the same Demetrius that turned into a living nightmare.

         Marísol thought the night they had sex was a passion filled night, but it was all a lie. Demetrius was just using her. He never had sex with a Hispanic and he wanted to try it out. Marísol was broken inside, but she needed to get over it, her daughter needed her.

   

        "I wanna name her Nicole." Marísol told the nurse. The nurse smiled as she looked at the baby, admiring her beauty.

        2 months went by and Nicole was getting big and changing constantly. Marísol would bring Nicole around Demetrius but he would never do anything. He almost gave the baby alcohol!

       Marísol was stressed, nursing a baby wasn't her thing and her mom was no help since she would only smoke and get lung infections.

       Demetrius had out what seemed rocks oneday when he was visiting Marísol and Nicole.

     "What is that?" Marísol questioned as she picked one up.

      "Crack, you wanna try it?" Demetrius asked pulling out a pipe.

      "You take it?" Demetrius nodded.

       Demetrius placed the crack in the pipe and gave it to Marísol. It didn't take long before Marísol became addicted.

        Everyday was the same routine, wake up at 5, and take crack, feed Nicole, clean the house, lay Nicole down for a nap, take crack, meet Demetrius, take crack. Crack was always on her mind. There was not a thing that could replace crack. She cared more about crack than baby Nicole.

         Demetrius used crack as a opportunity to have sex with Marísol. He did it on a daily basis with her and Marísol wasn't even aware what was happening. Nicole was almost a year when Marísol discovered she was pregnant again.

         Two babies? How the hell could Marísol handle two babies? Even when she was pregnant, she used crack, until her doctor found traces of crack in her system and ordered Marísol to stay away.

       Marísol just wanted this pregnancy over so she could do crack. Elena still was on the cigars, but she finally decided to start taking care of Nicole. She had no idea about her daughter's crack abuse.

~

         The second baby was just as beautiful as Nicole. She had light brown hair, and had gray eyes instead of the beautiful brown eyes that Nicole had.

        Demetrius and his gang managed to come see the baby before they were to cause mayhem in the city.

         Marísol was just happy she wasn't pregnant and the baby didn't get hooked on crack. When the doctor left, Marísol took the crack she had sneaked in. She planned to name the baby Natahalia. Hopefully when high she will remember the name.

~

         Even at age 2, Nicole knew something wasn't right about her mother. She would be so aggressive and angry one second and the next she's bouncing off the walls in the house.

       Elena was concerned about her daughter especially when she nearly drowned her baby daughter, Natahalia. She had a feeling Demetrius did something to her daughter.

       "Demetrius, I know what you have done." Elena revealed showing the crack all placed in a sandwich bag.

        Elena found it when Marísol left oneday taking the girls for a walk.

      "That's your daughter, it ain't me. You got a fucked up daughter." Demetrius replied.

      "No it isn't! It's you and it always has been! You got my daughter pregnant, you were the one who cause all the burdens for my daughter." Elena shouted defending her oldest daughter.

       "You're crazy Elena lay off of the cigars, sometimes." Demetrius, furious rushed away. He wasn't guilty, he knew what he did. Elena was right he was to blame.

~

          "Mamà I'm fine!" Marísol yelled as Elena dragged her daughter into a rehab center. "Shut up, Mari, you need help. You need to be clean, for your girls. " Elena responded.

          "Fuck those girls, they are the reason why I'm like this!" Elena wasn't  scared at all as she slapped Marísol, just like she did that time before they left the Dominican Republic.

          Marísol looked hurt for a second, but she didn't hold back as she striked her mother back.

       Workers at the rehab center, didn't take long to come out and lead Marísol inside before she attacked her mother. They knew no one is perfect, but they didn't know that Marísol was so deep into the drugs. They never would have imagine that it would take 2 years for Marísol to become fully clean from the drugs, and it would take 4 years for the police to finally lock Demetrius up.
