Somebody came quickly and picked up Jordan. It was so fast I didn't know who the person was or where they took him.

Meanwhile, Anthony's coaches and teammates dragged him into the locker room.

Everyone was acting a fool and starting posting the fight all over Instagram.

Since there was no point at being at the game, I left the building and Called a taxi to take me away from the drama.

"Ever been inside her?" Those words from Anthony's mouth bothered me. How dare he speak about something so personal. That made me regret ever having sex him with.

Sitting in the backseat of the taxi, I was sad and deep down I was truly lonely.

"Hey, where we goin'?" The taxi driver asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Petra's pizzeria." I replied.

If my day was bad, I thought I'd eat my favorite food to end it.

Glancing at my phone, the time read 9:32 pm.

The basketball game would be ending in an hour...that's if they even had a chance to play.

Handing the driver money and a $3 tip, I walked through the parking lot of the pizzeria looking inside.

There were only 3 people inside and of the three they were all adults.

"Nice to see you again Rose." Mr. Axel greeted from behind the counter wiping his hands with a white dishcloth.

"Hi." I greeted back.

He threw the dishcloth into the sink, "Let me guess, the usual?" He asked with a smile.

"You already know."

"It'll be done in 15 minutes."

I took a seat at a table and I sat back observing the little people that were around me.

A couple sitting in front of me eating wings as the chatted about work, and a woman with her 6 year old looking daughter.

I had Miscounted. The women was also pregnant. She took a bite of cheese while instructing her daughter to sit down as she was being restless in her seat.

Pregnancy cravings I thought.

The daughter had lightskin and dark wavy flowing hair down to her waist. She reminded me of myself.

"Momma?" She called.

"Yes?"

"There's these boys at school who call me names." She said taking bites of her food.

"What do they call you?" Her mother asked with concern in her eyes.

The little girl sighed. "Momma, they call me ugly.." the girl said with disappointment.

The mother dusted her hands off..

"Baby, don't ever let anyone's words get to you. You're a beautiful girl and you know that. There's always going to be something that people are gonna try and hurt you about.." she said tucking her daughters hair behind her ear.

The little girl smiled. "I love you momma."

"I love you to the moon and back." The mother said.
