why do all the faithful girls get cheats on, get treated wrong?
that's the type of shit that'll drive you crazy.
-tink, the confession.

Zonnique.

"You really are one crazy pregnant lady, you know?" India said as we drove down the long road to my house.

I chuckled. "I don't know how he thought he was going to play me and then get away with it. That's really funny."

"But are you sure this is what you want to do?"

"If I wasn't sure I wouldn't have called you in the first place. Please reframe from asking me dumb questions." Actually, I wasn't sure about what I was about to do. But, it would be out of anger and pain so I didn't really care.

We pulled up to my house and parked in the drive way. We both got out of the car and walked up to the front door. I always hid a spare key under the welcome mat just in case I ever forgot my main key. I looked under the mat and grabbed the key, unlocking the door afterwards. "C'mon." I said to India as I entered the house and went straight upstairs to what used to be my bedroom.

I went straight to the closet that had nothing in it except for all of Daniel's clothes and shoes. I snatched every single piece of clothing off the hangers along with India's help. I stopped once everything was down and then walked over to the window and opened it. We both grabbed handfuls of clothes and tossed them out of the window along with shoes. In the mist of us tossing things out the window some pictures fell out of one of his jackets. I slowly bent down and picked them up.

They were all various pictures of me and him. The pictures represented the good times that we've had but, those days wouldn't be coming back anytime soon.

"Alright. That's all! Let's get this other with." India came over to me and tapped my shoulder.

I nodded and walked out of the room and downstairs all the way out of the front door. The pile of clothes was in a neat stack surprisingly. The pictures were still in my hand as I walked around in circles, pouring gasoline on the stack of clothes and shoes. I tossed the bottle on top of the pile once nothing was in it anymore. India did the finishing touches she lit the match and threw it on top on everything.

It took no time for things to go up in flames. I looked down at the photos once more, I couldn't believe this whole time I was in love with someone who didn't truly love me back. Tears started to fall down my cheeks as I tossed the pictures into the flames. I got back into the car and watched the flames go up. I knew I was going to regret doing this later on...

6:17PM.

For an hour and a half I sat there and watched his clothes burn. India put the fire out once she realized the fumes were getting toxic. I guess I was in some type of daze because, I didn't even realize we were at his parents house. I had to tell them some things and get everything straight. I got out of the car and walked up to their front door and knocked. His mom opened the door with a smile on her face.

"Oh my! You look like your ready to pop!" She chuckled, embracing me into a hug.

"That's what I'm really ready to do." I chuckled and then pulled away from the hug afterwards.

She stepped aside letting me in, she looked outside once more before closing the door. "Where's Daniel? He isn't with you? You can't be driving you know?"

"We broke up, that's actually why I came to talk to you. And, I didn't drive here a friend drove me."

She was shocked. I'm guessing she didn't hear the news this morning. "What happened? I know he wouldn't just abandon you and his son."

"Well that's what he did. He didn't give me a reason for leaving. But, I know he's happy with someone else." I didn't feel comfortable saying her name, she's a backstabber and I want to forget about her.

She embraced me in another hug. "I'm so so sorry, Zonnique. He's probably just confused."

"It's okay. I'm fine." I pulled away from the hug. "With that being said I don't want him at the birth at all. So, if you get in contact with him don't let him know anything."

"What do you mean? Won't you need him by your side?"

"I've done a lot of my self without him by my side for seven months. I can do fine without him there."

She nodded. "I can understand that but, speaking on something more positive have you thought of a name?"

"Yes. Zion Nasir and Logan Nicole. I'm no-"

"You're having two?!" She said happily.

I nodded. "Yeah. I just found out about some weeks ago."

"I can't wait to spoil them both." She squealed. I laughed at how excited she was. Even though Daniel isn't going o be in my life anymore, I'm lucky enough to still have his mother's support.

8:50PM.

After a long day of running around, I was tired. India dropped me off at Bryson's house which would now be my new house. I pulled the key out of my back pocket and walked inside. When I walked through the door Kaycee came running towards me. I had no choice but to pick her up and face her knee hitting me in the stomach.

"Mommy! I misses you!" She smiled while looking at me.

"I missed you too, baby." I kissed her cheek. "How was your day?" I walked into the living room and sat down, I adjusted her so that she was sitting on my leg.

"Bryson took me and Harley out to the carnival! We had fun! But, I miss daddy." She pouted. "When he coming home?"

I sighed and finally decided to stop lying to her. "Mommy and daddy spilt up so, daddy won't be coming back for a while."

Her facial expression turned into a whole sad face. "Does daddy love you?"

That question caught me completely off guard. I wasn't prepared to answer it nor did I want to. "I- I don't know." I stuttered over my words and felt the tears coming.

"Does daddy love me?"

There was no more trying to hold the tears back, they came out and ran down my cheeks. "Of course he does. He never will stop loving you."

"Don't cwy mommy!" She leaned down on me and hugged me then wiped the tears off of my face.

I swear she's my biggest motivation in the whole world. I'd be no where without her.
