"The hospital?" Shawn yelled in surprised. "What do you mean the hospital?" "When you were in the hospital, I tried to visit and they wouldn't let me, because I wasn't family. Your parents didn't know I was your girlfriend, and when I tried saying I was pregnant with your baby..." "Aaliyah said it wasn't mine" "maybe. I'm not sure exactly what she said, but that could be why your parents think that."
S: why the hell did you do that
A: shawn I'm sorry
S: now mom's pissed at me
A: that's why I said sorry
S: Sorry isn't enough Aaliyah. You claimed my baby as someone else's. Now mom's gonna have a grandchild she hates cuz she doesn't think it's hers. Just fix it cuz she won't listen to me and she never listened to emma from the beginning.
A: I'll talk to mom. But it's not my fault she didn't listen to Emma, you're the one who didn't tell anyone about her
S: I have reasons for that Aaliyah. And I know it was a dick mistake that I made
A: omg what reasons do you have for not telling anyone about your girlfriend. We are the people who raised you, the people who were there even before all your fans, the people who were always there for you, and you can't even tell us about your girlfriend. For god sakes Shawn we listen to your music before anyone else.
"You is not raise me!!" Shawn yelled. "Shawn, stop" I didn't know exactly what was said but I knew it wasn't good. "Shawn no" I told him, hoping he would listen. I could read some of the words on his phone screen that he was typing to Aaliyah. "Shawn don't do it" I demanded. I was on the verge of yelling, but was trying to hold myself back. "You're just going to start a family feud. Trust me this happened between my dad and his sister before" "NO STOO MAKING UP ALL YOUR DESPERATE, DEVASTATING STORIES!!!!" I was really hoping he was talking to his phone and not me. "YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A DAD ANYWAY!" He yelled at me. I knew this was all pointed towards me. All this yelling, all this texting, everything. "I DO HAVE A DAD, IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT HE'S BURIED UNDERGROUND, INSTEAD IF LIVING IN HIS HOUSE WOTH MY MOTHER! SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT INSULTING ME OR MY FAMILY! AND THISE STORIES AREN'T MADE UP! THAT'S ALL THE SHIT THAT GOT ME HERE TODAY, IF THOSE FICTION TALES DIDN'T HAPPEN I WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW! YES SHAWN I HAVE A DAD, HE'S A MAN YOU WILL NEVER BE!" I screamed. Within 30 seconds I was out the door and into Shawn's truck since those keys were the ones I grabbed before slamming the house door. It seemed like forever that I just sat there. I saw the front to begin to open, so I pushed the power button on the truck, put it in reverse, pressed the gas, and left. This time there was nothing holding me back.
