Me and king were knocked out on Kayla's couch , She only has a 1 bedroom so her house was a little small but me and King made it work . She came in late last night which was beyond weird and she never told me about the conversation her and Ssh had she just came in a gave us a cover and pillow . Her couch was wide enough for me and king to lay .He was layed in between my legs , It was around 3 in the morning and I couldn't sleep . I wasn't feeling well and I had a lot on my mind , This doctors appointment is later on today and I had to go home to Ash and I don't know what's going to happen when we get there .
I'm just so overwhelmed and stressed out , Being 24 with two kids would be something new to me but god is giving me different mysteries and obstacles to handle . When I was younger all I dreamed about was having a nice wedding and a beautiful family . I always pictured my wedding be nice and big , I wanted my girls from school to be my bride maids & to walk down the ale to my handsome husband . When I went to prom with my high school sweet heart Ken it was something to remember , We broke up that same night . He was going away to the Navy and I didn't want the whole long distance relationship thing . I haven't spoken to him since and it's been weighing heavy on my mind because he really was my first love .
He was the first man I every opened up to , We cried together and he always was there when I needed to talk . My high school days were very hard for me especially dealing with the fact that I had to go through things without my mom to talk to me or my dad to guide me through the whole boy issues . I've been taken advantage of all my life and there was no one there to tell me what was right or wrong .
Mrs . Jessie tried to but she had to focus on her kids and I didn't blame her at all , She's been the best for me on birthdays and everything but just not up to the standards as my mom .
I was woken by Kayla tapping me with her phone flashing in my eyes . " What do you want Kayla " I said rubbing my eyes .
" your man is here " she said pointing over to Ash standing right infront of me .
" Ash what are you doing here " I said getting up quickly .
" I came to get you and my son " he said with this dirty look on his face , This man was truly a clown and the look on his face disgusts me .
" I told you I was coming in the morning , It's like 4 in the morning " I said moving king over to the side .
" can we get a minute " he said to Kayla cause she was all in our faces . She out her hands up and walked out to her room .
" Ash , I just need some time to relax please " I said feeling my eyes build up with water .
" Jenn get the fuck up now and let's fucking go " he said trying not to be loud .
I got up and put my bookbag on , This man had full control over my life and it's so sad on how he scares the shit out of me . I lifted king up and walked towards the door , Kayla cake downstairs with a disappointed look on her face . " I'll see you tommorow Kayla , Thanks " I said trying to put on a fake smile to seem like were the happiest couple when she knows were not .
We walked out and the door clothes shut behind us , He drove my Mercedes over here and I was just focused on that fact that it was raining outside and he litterally would drag us out at this time .
" you need to get your ass up here " he said as I tried to sit in the back and hold king cause he was sleeping and There was no carseat in this car .
" I'm back here wit.. " I said and he back slapped me with his hand that had his ring on it . My jaw felt like to was out of placed , It was throbbing and sore as idk what . I took off my jacket and placed it on king . Throughout the ride it was complete silence and I knew he wasn't going to let go the fact that I slapped him .
