Who You Are

Chapter 23: Repetitiveness

I'm going to jump around a little with these chapters now. The chapters are probably going to be a month or two apart 😕. Hope you are enjoying 😛

" - And that's why I'm here" I explained to Dr. Reign in her living room

" Well, I'm happy that you came to me about this. I say that you complete school, apply for college, and continue with your career. Don't let a pregnancy stop you."

" I don't want to go back to school. It's humiliating and annoying."

" So they just have power over you?"

" Huh?" I asked a bit oblivious to the question.

" Those girls have power over you Justine. You can't even leave your house without thinking about them? I'm not trying to slander you or embarrass you but think about it. You can't go anywhere without being revengeful or pity for yourself. It's not healthy for you or your son"

I looked down at my stomach and grief overwhelmed me. How can I bring a baby into this world? I'm not emotionally stable, not even finically.
I'm a single mother, I can't provide for the baby and myself. I'm not married, so my family will degrade me.

This is why I came to Dr. Reign's house. She gave her phone number and address just in case I needed some help and here I am, on her couch crying.

" Thank you Dr. Reign" I attempt to smile but it fails.

" No problem Justine. And, call me Vanni for now on"

We stood up and hugged each other. I started to walk towards the door but I tripped over some Legos

" Sorry, I told him to pick this up before he left" she quickly walked over and picked up the toys. I walked out to my car and got into the drivers seat.

I'm hungry. I started the car and decided to go to IHOP.

I sat back in my bed on my phone waiting for Dontae. He usually drops me off food everyday. There was a knock at the door and I damn near sprinted to it.

I opened the door and my smile turned into a confused smile 😅.

" What are you doing here?" I asked allowing him to step inside

" I left the house keys this morning" my dad said as he walked to the kitchen.

I closed the door and walked into the kitchen behind him. He grabbed the keys from the counter and kissed my forehead.

" I love you, and do something productive today. Look up some colleges and stuff" he smiled and walked out.

Look up some colleges and stuff

I shook my head and went into the fridge and grabbed the bag full of grapes. I walked to the living room and sat down.

I've been craving grapes and pickles for a long time. I'm allergic to pickles because of the juice but I've been eating it anyways. It just swells my tongue up, that's all.
