- One Month Later

Sad thing is, I'm pregnant once again. I found out not too long ago but I don't know if I should keep the baby or not. I don't believe in abortions, but that's three kids by one man who's not even going to be here. I don't know what to do with myself at this point in life, I really don't. I think I just want to say fuck it, take care of these three kids and never look at another man again, but then I don't know. Let me just live life the way it's suppose to be lived and just see where it takes me I guess. 

"You must think you're cute."  I asked joking with Kassir. He giggled popping his collar, and walking down the little runway thing I have in my walk in closet. We were getting ready to go to Ashton's kindergarten graduation. He's been so hype about it all week, head actually w as trying to call Aaron all week but got no answer. Kassir was on the phone with him everyday for the last two weeks, but he hasn't talked to them this week. Ashton came prancing into the room ready. I connected his bow tie to his neck.

"Mommy I'm ready to go." Kas told me walking towards me.

"We are leaving right now, come on."

We left out the house going out to the car. I got the boys inside the car all strapped in, I sat in the front starting the car up. I turned the music on and they started singing along with the music. They were singing and I'm over here thinking about where the hell Aaron is. I don't care for him but his son actually wants him here, he hasn't seen them in a month. I haven't cried in the last couple weeks so I've been fine on the whole emotional level. I pulled up to the school and it was crowded. I sighed at how many people was here, I have him in a small school and it seems like he's in public school. I opened the door so they could jump out,  they did so and we began to walk inside.

"Ms. Johnson,  Ashton can come right back this way. Is his father attending?" His teacher Clarissa asked me.

"Not that I know of. Congratulations baby,  I'll be right in the front row." I kissed Ashton's cheeks.

"Okay mommy!" He giggled and ran to the back with his friends. Kassir pouted sticking it two fingers into his mouth.

"Ashy! " Kas cried out after him. Ashton pulled away from his friends and ran back over to us. He picked Kas up then made his way back over to his friends.

"Don't loose him!" I shouted after them before walking into the room where the ceremony was happening in. All the kids were getting ready for it and getting on stage. Ashton held onto Kassir's hand the whole time the teachers were setting them up on the stage. I smiled pulling out my iPhone 5c to record everything. The lights dimmed and they all started humming lowly.

"I see trees of green, red roses too." Ashton started off the song singing great and then the rest of the kids including Kas joined in. I began recording, I giggled at how Kas knew the song like he was graduating school. The whole ceremony went by pretty fast and that's great because I'm tired of sitting in this hot ass room already. The kids looked like they were having fun, a lot of parents were crying and I'm just happy that my son is happy. He goes to first grade next year, he'll be living a normal life most likely his dad won't be walking in and out of his life, feeding him lies, the way he usually does. 

When it was over everyone ended up leaving out quickly so avoid crowding. I got the boys out into the car with a couple of their friends because it's a graduation party happening at my place. Which will be going on for the whole weekend, they begged for me to do it. Soon as I pulled off I got a text on my phone, I looked over to see it was Elijah, it said call me. I pressed his name and the call button, the phone began to ring on my Bluetooth ear piece. I sat back with my hands on the steering wheel waiting for him to answer. 

"Yooo! Did you read that letter that King sent you yet?" He yelled into the phone catching me off guard a little bit. 

"No I didn't, why would I read it?" I asked curiously.

"You need to read it... you're going to be surprised." 

No One's POV

Just about a month ago King did the impossible. After a lot of hard thinking and pacing back and forth across the empty house of his. He decided he'd sit down , and write a note to everyone whom he loved. He wrote a letter to Ashley and Elijah, which will be sent out as soon as he was done writing him. He wrote four more letters, one to Kassir, One to Ashton, One to his daughter and one to his unborn child. He doesn't know for sure if Ashley was pregnant or not but he felt like she was. When each one of the kids are of age to understand their letters he wants his mother to give it to them. Just so if anyone decides to tell the story of what happened in his life to them the wrong way, they'll know the true way that everything went down. He still felt bad for everything he's put everyone through and his plan was to make sure he'd never hurt anyone again.

He went out to his old hide out once he flew back to NOLA. That's where he kept all of his things when his mother kicked him out, everything was still there. Including the pistol that he stole from the gun shop when he was nineteen. He sat on the bed looking over into the mirror that was faced directly in front of his bed. He held the gun in his lap thinking of his next move. 

"There is actually no point of living anymore, the more I stay on earth the more I tend to fuck up and hurt the people I love. Solving problems is something im good at, so let me solve everyone's problems and go away forever.. I love you Kassir, Ashton, and Emilia... I do." 

The words he spoke last were the last ones he said before taking a final breath and a bullet to the dome, killing him instantly..

Ashley's Letter

Dear Ashley, 

I've done some fucked up things in life, I messed up a lot with you but just know I did really love you. If I didn't love you I wouldn't have spent almost ten years of my life if it wasn't true. I'm sorry that i put you through so much man, even though I helped you through your hard times in life, I still feel like I didn't do enough for you ya know. I turned around and fucked everything up, yeah I was with Keyonna and had another child, but the kids been there I just didn't tell you because I thought you'd hate me. I wanted to tell you and I hate that you found out the way you did. Through all the laughter, cries, pain, everything I loved you more than I even loved myself. I kept trapping because that's all I knew how to do, no matter how much I wanted to change that is all I knew how to do. The day my son told me he didn't believe I loved him broke me into pieces. Broke me enough to do something that everyone will think is stupid. You leaving , tore me apart baby girl it really did. I don't know what else to put in this letter, but i hope life gets better for you. hope you get everything you deserve and that a man will sweep you off your feet and give you the world. Do something that I obviously couldn't do... I love you man.. See you in another life time....
