Tamiyah P.O.V

Well now I'm 5 months pregnant and I get to find out if my baby a girl or a boy. If it's a girl James owe me $230 and if it's a boy I owe him $230. I had got in the shower and did the rest of my hygiene. I had put on some jogging pants and a black shirt that says Black Girls Rock in pink.

Me: James I think I need some new clothes cause I'm pregnant and my clothes kind a tight.

James: Well that's not my problem

Me: You are no help at all

James: Jus hurry so you can pay me my money

Me: Whatever

We got in the car and drove off. We pulled up and went to sign in. We waited then the doctors called us to the back. I sat back on the bed and the put the gel on me.

Doctor: Well look like u guys are having a baby girl

Me: Yay now pay up

James: Fine

He gave me my money and I walked to the front. But I had to wait on James and he bet not be flirting with that doctor. Then he came.

Me: What took you so long

Me: No Tell Me or we ain't going no got damn where

James: Jus come on

Me: You can leave ill jus call Trice bye

James: Jus come on

He picked me up and put me in the car. He got in and I opened the door and got out.

James: Get back in the car

Me: NO IM TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS PLAYIN SHADY BEHIND MY BACK TELL ME WHAT TOOK YOU SO GOT DAMN LONG

James: Jus get in car

Me: NO

He got out again and put me back in the car. I jus gave in and we drove home. I don't want to be with James any more he starting to break my hart. I don't think he cares about me.

Next Mourning

I was washing clothes when a phone number fell out James jeans he had on yesterday. So I decided to call it.

???: Hey James I didn't think you would call after what happened with you and your girl

Just when I was going to say something James walked in.

James: So you calling numbers you find in my pocket now. From my phone.

Me: How you know

James: I watched you the whole time from when the number slipped out.

Me: Fuck you James I'm done

He ran over and choked me against the wall.

James: *Teeth Clenched* No fuck you

He then let me go.

Me: I'm leaving and never coming back

James: Go ahead I got plenty of girls waiting for James

Me: You don't realize that you had something good until you lose it

I ran upstairs called Trice and packed my stuff. I had enough. She pulled up and we drove off to her house.

Zoey P.O.V

I was looking in the news paper for jobs. It's been almost a month since I seen Dayah. My mom has been working extra so now I need a job or it's the streets for us. Oh and btw they gave us more days to pay off rent and they turned off the lights so we use candles. The stuff in the fridge is getting warm. I can't do this any more. I've been talking to Troy and he asked me to come back with him. I told him no. I didn't tell him why but, how can I live with him and leave my mom, nephew, and sister on the street. And the worst part is I'm pregnant. Instead of going up I'm going down. Well I found a job and I have an interview today. It working as a cook at Red Robin and waitress when needed. I'm 2 months pregnant so I need to work the best way I can. Also trying to working two jobs.
