Chapter 3 - Too Much

Too Much 🌸

Ali 🍃

Too much was said and done . My heart pounded violently against my chest , pushing against the smooth black fabric of my dress . The words that came out Dr.Hues mouth was like a dagger in my heart . I felt my adrenaline pumping causing my hands to tremble . My best friend , my provider , my hero is laying there in that bed fighting for his life and I couldn't do nothing about it . I wondered why he didn't tell me , I saw the signs but I was in denial . I watched as my mother cradled my sister as laid motionless in her arms . I forgot all about Curtis being in the room with me .I walked over to him , and held his hand .

"You don't have to be here "

" I choose to be here with " he said with a faint smile .

That was about a week ago and I'm here sitting in my room in the dark . I haven't seen my dad yet because I can't face the fact that I was about to loose him . I held my knees against my chest and thought about the good times.

Allison 🌷

I was ready to tell mom but I was scared . After the news about dad she had been under a lot of stress and I didn't know how to approach her . I didn't want to bother Ali because she had been in her Alice in Wonder land phase. I handled the news differently and I accepted the fact that my father was in that state. The cancer started to spread to his brain which turned into a tumor . He is suppose to go into surgery and have it removed . Then from then on, the doctors will watch his recovery. I slowly inches my way to my mothers room . I put my hand on the knobs and let out a sigh .

" Ma? "

" Yes baby girl "

I climbed on her side of the California King bed , I started to play with my fingers.

" Ma ,I have to tell you .." I trailed off looking out to the window .

" Mmm Im listening " her eyes were glossy , I could tell she had been crying all night . Her honey blonde loose wave curls slightly hid her hazel eyes .

" I'm pregnant " I finally blurted it then suddenly I felt a stinging sensation on my right side of my face . I couldn't believe it , my mother just slapped the shit out of me .

" Allison , are you fucking serious . How can you be so dumb and reckless" she yelled

I completely blanked out , just that state my blood started to boil and my palms started to become moist . My anger was building up , I thought my mother would have at least listen but this she was high off that lean .

" Allison ! Don't you hear me calling you " she yelled

I started to make my way off the bed, before I could make it off she grabbed my hand .

" I had so much high hopes for you then you had to fuck it up "

I glared at her before I left the room , I wasn't going to stay here . There's only one place I could think of .

Aaliyah 💐( Ali &Allison Mother )

I can't believe Allison would actually think that was acceptable . My mother had me as a teen and I tried to beat the statistics which I did and I had the twins at 21 . I've stressed that my girls needed to graduate and attend college. But I didn't think Allison would fuck up like this . I sat there and I began to cry at the thought of loosing my husband ,that was the only thing I could think about . As I sat there crying I felt more guilty because I've been hiding this secret for these past 3 months . I didn't want to hurt my husband or kids and I just couldn't bare with the pain . I wasn't really mad at Allison for being pregnant ,things happen but this stress and burden I've been carrying around with me has been eating me up inside . I couldn't bring myself to tell my husband or kids about this .
