The Unknown Daughter

~Chapter Forty Six~

--The Next Day--🌞

I'm sitting on top of my blanket in the train station, eating the other half to one of my burgers.

Last night was scary for me, It could've been worst come to think about. And just thank you lord he left me alone...after I gave him head. For all I know, he could've rapped and killed me after. Atlanta can be a dangerous place, you know.

"Hello" A girl approaches me. Dark skin, short nappy black hair, and ragedy clothes.

"Hi" I say lowly.

"You pregnant out here?"

"Yeah...sadly"

"You don't like shelters or something?"

"I tried going to one but it was full....and I really don't know where more of them are at"

"You can come to mine. Its a couple of pregnant women there too"

"Your homeless?"

"Yeah but I don't look that bad right? Thats because of this shelter. They give you a bed, warm food, and you can use the bathroom with a shower" ...really😌

"You interested?" she adds.

"Uh..Yeah" I say.

"Come on then"

--15 minutes Later--🕒

We finally arrive at the shelter she was talking about, helping me get a space inside by smooth talking them over. It was really nice of her but I just hope she's not expecting something in return like last time someone helped me.

"This is the main area, where we come to mingle and stuff" she shows me this room with a few couches and radio.

I simply nod my head and follow her onwards. She then pulls me into what I assume to be a cafeteria, walking in on some of the people eating.

"This is where we eat, the food is not bomb but it's better than food from a dumpster, trust me"

"Mhm" ...good thing I still had my burger.

Next, she takes me into a room with a couple beds in a line, even some bunk beds too.

"Your bed is that one over there, so I'll leave you to get comfortable. You can call me if you need me"

"Okay thanks, but where is the showers?"

"Down the hall to the left, you'll see it" she walks away.

I sit down my blanket and pillow, setting my bed up before taking a seat. It felt so good to finally feel the comfort of a bed again, it's been so long....so long since I've actually seen one in person. Man, was this nice.

"Well well well. Look who it is" another girl comes up to me.

"Do I know you?" I look up.

"Yep. You landed my son's father in jail!"

"Bahja?" ...aka, Keith's baby mama

"Mhm" she folds her arms.

"Look I don't want no problems, I'm just tryna make it like you"

"Mhm. I won't give you a hard time, since we're both pregnant. But you just better watch it"

I sigh and leave her to hold grudges alone, following that other girl's instructions to find the bathroom. And once I do, I quickly strip down from those nasty and dirty clothes, getting right under the nice warm water and grabbing some soap.
