I was so happy & excited that my parents were here! Then I seem someone who made my heart drop.
Devon.
"Hey Baby Sis. Look I'm sorry for everything. & I wanna put all that behind us. I love you & that Lil Guy a lot even though we haven't met just yet. Do you forgive me?"
I smiled & gave him a hug. "Yes Big brother I forgive you, I love you too. Just promise you will always be there for me & Terry." "I promise Baby girl." A little Tear slipped my eye.
"Zya?" I turned around.
The biggest smile spread across my face.
"Lauren! OMG! What're you doing here?" "I had to come see you! I already feel bad that I didn't come see you while you were pregnant." "Oh, Well thanks for coming!" I looked around & I just smiled.
All My Family is here. My Mom & Dad, Terry's Mom. Devon, Lauren & China were here. But there was one missing person.
Erica.
She was my Ace. That one person I could go to when nobody else was listening. I miss her like crazy. I haven't seen her since we fought & I heard she wasn't doing good. Her mom had kicked her out. Thinking about her made me sad. & my smile fade quickly.
"Hey Girl! Whats wrong?" Lauren asked me. "Erica. I miss her, she should be here." "Awe, it's ok Baby girl! Look lets go somewhere & talk." "Ok." We walked to the back room & sat down.
"She's not doing too well Zyaa." "What? Whats going on with her?" "Her boyfriend is Ace.
(Not primo! Just a random nigga.) "Ace? Really? O my gosh!" "Yeah, He beats on her & she's been doing drugs! last Time I seen her, she was pretty drugged up. She swore that she wasn't addicted but, it's pretty bad." "Oh No! I have to get here out of there!" "I knew you were going to be worried. But you don't have time to worry about that. You have a child now, focus in him." "I Know." "Just stay focused Baby. You have one big family with or without her."
She was right. But wrong on so many levels. I miss Erica & Im gonna get her here with me & make things right one way or another.
Short. I know. BUUTT Thats only because There's Hella Drama To Come!
