No Love

Chapter 7

" Good morning Mrs. Williams". A student of mine said from the parking lot. I smiled warmly and continues to the school building. Greetings came from everywhere in the hallway and I greeted all of the students back. I made my way to my office and powered up my apple laptop. Before I could even get my day started my door swung open.

" Mrs. Williams Travis and Aly are having sex under the bleachers again". Pearl, a sophomore in high school, was known as the snitch, if anything went wrong the teachers were informed, of we needed information, pearl was the first person the teachers and I would call on. I pushes through her chubby frame. The girl really outta go on a diet. She's only 5'2 and weighed 220 pounds. Because she was Italian, I thought of all the cannoli's she probably was eating. She was an okay looking girl though, chubby red checks, round eyes and a small nose, then red lips. Super smart too, everybody hated her though.

I swiftly walked out of the main building. Through the high schools main campus and to the basketball field.

Laughter and moans filled the air. The sun was peeking out and there was still morning due in the green grass. As I got closer I seem two seniors recording Travis and Aly". I shook my head, they were so engrossed in what they were seeing they didn't even des me coming. Being a school social worker is no joke.

" So I'm riding his penis and he's slapping my no ass. Mya I kid you not, I felt it in my gut". We burst out laughing and slapping each other high five. People stared at us like we were crazy.

Cindy and I were out for dinner and she was telling me about her latest affair. We drove from New Jersey to New York to go to a southern restaurant, that was the good thing about Cindy being from the south, she loved southern food. Yams, black eyed peas, collard greens with neck bones, string beans, fried chicken, corn on the cob, corn bread, all that good stuff. She loved it. It made it so much easier for me, I didn't want to eat salad or caviar.

My iPhone started vibrating, I really didn't want to answer it, I wanted to hear the rest of Cindy's story.

I looked at my screen, Rodney's mother number pooped up. I picked up.

" Hello Mrs. Williams". I said cheerfully. I loved her, she liked me from the jump, I was glad I didn't have a crazy mother in law so many others talked about.

Sniffles came from the other side. " Mya?". More sniffles. " Mya Rodney got hit by a truck!". She burst out crying.

My stomach dropped. What a fucked up way to end my night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat on the edge of Rodney's hospital bed. He's brain dead, that's all I heard when the doctor came into the waiting room. I blacked out after that. My life was spiraling down after that. The most fucked up thing is that the police seem to cant find who did it. It's been two weeks. I cried my last tear and wiped it away. I left it up to my mother in law wether or not she wanted to pull the plug. I didn't want to kill him, not my husband.

I kissed his lips and placed husbands on my tummy one last time. The was these time I was going to love anyone.

I grabbed my pocket book and left the his room before I could cry again. I made my way to the parking lot, in my black Lexus.

As I drove to my destination, tears kept welling up in my eyes. Things were getting better for me and now everything was going down the drain.

I pulled up to the clinic drying my eyes as I went. I went to the front desk and signed in. a few minutes later a nurse called my name. It had to be done.
