"Girl you need to get out and have some fun damn." my best friend Neicey said as she sat there with a nail file watching me look over papers. I'd had my own business running for a year now since I graduated and that's all I was focused on honestly. She was still in college but having fun, me I was about business. "Jayla I know you heard me." she said clapping in my face breaking me out of my thoughts. "Yes child what you want?" I asked a little annoyed. "I want you to get out and have some fun. You haven't had dick in forever and you walk around acting like something stuck up ya ass." "I do not. Why you say that?" "Because any nigga that try to talk to you you curve them like they trash and not all of them like that." "Neicey no niggas are not for me okay. The only nigga im worried about is Christian and he's not a nigga he's my son." "Okay and he's fine. You keep comparing all these niggas to his father. Not all of them are like that." "Look Neicey I love you and all but a nigga is not what I'm worried about I'm due in three months okay. Christian gone be here and I'ma be a great mother and that's that." "Whatever hoe I'ma see you later." she said before walking out. I sat there left to get lost in my thoughts. I loved my bestie to peices, me and her had been inseparable since high school and neither one of us were going anywhere. My phone rung and my sister Nay's name flashed on the screen. "Hello darling" I answered. "Hey boo I called to check on u and my nephew" "Girl we good just hungry and getting bigger everyday it feels like." I laughed. "I know that's right but look I'm about to come get you to take you to lunch be ready in twenty minutes." "Okay" I said before hanging up. I went downstairs to the lower part of my business and everything was running smoothly. "Mya I'm gonna take the rest of the day off. You got this?" I asked my manager. She nodded and kept working on a girls hair. My salon was called Mommy and Novi. It was a mother and daughter spa type of thing. You could get your hair, nails, and facials done. Oh and massages and waxes for the mothers that still felt young if you know what I mean. I always told myself if I had a daughter I would name her Zenovia so I named the shop after her but my Christian is coming first. I grabbed my purse and took a once over of the shop before leaving. I was doing good to only be 19. My phone rung again and of course it was Nay. "Yes darling." "Where you at hoe?" "In my car girl I can't leave it here." "Oh alright I'm right behind you just follow me." I hung up and put the car in drive and moments later we were at my favorite restaurant Sam's. It wasn't really a dine in place but the food was great. We ordered and left. She followed me back to my house and there we just sat and caught up on life like we hadn't seen each other in forever. I loved being around her because I could just tell her everything and not be judged. Like me being pregnant was so unexpected and she was the first one I told before I broke up with the father who's name I won't mention. It still breaks my heart that me and him didn't work out like I wanted us to but I'm doing bigger and better things and he's a bum still in college. Time passed and it was night. It was only eight but I was tired. Nay decided to stay over and keep me company in my big drafty house as she called it. I showered and went to bed.
~3 am~
I woke up sweating and feeling like I had to pee but was trying to push Christian out I didn't know what was going on and then I felt it. My water had broke. I screamed for Nay and she ran in my room and cut the light on. My once light pink sheets were now stained with blood. "Damnit Jay what happened?" Nay yelled. She ran back out the room and I yelled for her one more time before I blacked out....
