Pg 3
Why was my ex on the stage? This can't be real. Have to be dreaming. After all these years this is what he have been doing?
He did always say he was going to make it one day. He looked a lot better, his pimples cleared up, he was really hot still. I'll admit that, but my hate for him was still there no matter how hot he is.
"He is really cute." I heard Tiffany say"I just might snag me a white boy." She winked at me elbowing my shoulder.
"He's hot but a poor excuse for a man." I said truthfully. She looked at me confused"That's my ex. The one I mentioned a while back." I smirked, her face was completely shocked.
"Damn." Was all she can say.
After the shower it was time to go home. "Y'all ready?" Tiffany asked as we exit the bathroom.
"Girl yes!" My feet were killing me
"We ain't going home." Tiffany niece said, we both looked at her like she was crazy. "I have backstage passes to meet them." She grabbed Tiffany hand and dragged her away.
Wtf!
Tiffany niece knocked on the door. A large man appeared, "Can I help you?" He asks.
"I have won three backstage passes to meet the crew." She said with her hands on her hip. He looked at the passes and let us in"Oh my gosh!!!" She shouted excited to see the guys.
The guys laughed and all hugged her. Tiffany smiled and took pictures while I stood behind, not really wanting to be seen. "What's your name?" One of the guys ask.
"I'm Maria." She answered back"This is my aunt Tiffany and her friend Gabby." She grabbed my hand and stood me in front of the guys. Nate face turned from a smile to a straight face, his white skin drained so fast making it look like he seen a ghost.
"Gabby?" He asked as if I didn't look real, like he couldn't believe it was me.
"Nate." I say not really with any emotion.
The room fell quiet and so awkward. "Oh shit it's Gabby!" Swazz said. "Yo Nate it's Gabby from Omaha your ex....." Everyone looked at him, Nate gave him a shut up glare.
"Hey Swazz, hey Sammy." I waved. They both gave me hugs and the room became awkward again. "Well I'm going to go wait in the car, nice seeing you guys again." I gave one last look at them and walked out.
As I neared the end of the hall I heard my name being called, "Gabby wait!" I stopped and turned around.
It was Nate.
"I have nothing to say to you." I said feeling so drained.
"After all these years? You don't have anything to say?" He looked confused.
"What is there to say?" I put my hand on my hip"After four years I run into my ex, the love of life who just up and left me and his unborn child. What do you want me to say? What can I say?"
He looked down, like he felt bad. " Listen Gabby I know you might hate me bu-" I cut him off.
"At first I thought I did. But I don't, was I disappointed. Yes. Have I moved on? Also yes. What you done was fucked up and shitty and I have no respect for you. You are a coward and don't deserve my energy for me to hate you....shit you don't even deserve being able to be around me."
"I'm sorry! What I done was fucked up but that was years ago, I was a stupid selfish bastard and I don't deserve you or even should be able to see the baby." When he said I felt my face turn red and hot. Oh no tears!
"You don't." I agreed
"But I've changed. I want to start over, I want to be friends or at least clear the air and move past this." I rolled my eyes"I want to see my baby."
"You can't...." I said my eyes ready to spill, I looked at the ground.
"Why not? That's my child Gabby! I know that your mad at me but I deserve to see my chi-"
"YOU CAN'T SEE THE BABY BECAUSE THE BABY ISN'T ALIVE!" I shouted, tears raining out. "THE BABY DIED NATE! MY CHILD, OUR CHILD DIED." When I said that his face broke, I knew he was hurt. He stepped closer to me but I pushed away and walked off.
