Ivy Booker
I stood there looking at Tay, as he nervously looked back at me, holding a gaze that we both didn't break. I had spent so much time trying to get over him, and as soon as I do...here he comes out of the damn woodwork.
"You can sit, if you want." He said.
"I'm fine right here." I said, crossing my arms.
"Ivy please." I licked my lips, and stepped up onto the bleachers, taking a seat next to him. "I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am about everything. I've done nothing but push you away, when all you've ever done was love me. I know I wasn't the most perfect boyfriend, but the feelings I have for you are real and even if you don't want to see me again after this...I'm still going to love you just the same." I didn't respond. I just stayed silent as I looked over at him, seeing the hurt and regret in his eyes.
"So...what is it that you have to tell me?" I asked. He took a deep breath and started to tell me about all the demons he's been facing over the past few months, which broke my heart because he was real deal upset about it. I've never seen Tay so upset and vulnerable, which made me a little upset because I didn't see it, but then again...he always put up a front whenever I came around so of course I didn't know. "Why didn't you just tell me what was going on with you?"
"I don't know. I wasn't telling anybody because I didn't know what I would find or what to expect. When I asked my moms about it, they were upset and I didn't mean to hurt them but I just wanted to know. They told me that I was a random pick at a sperm bank and the rest is history. I at least thought that I had a family somewhere, like birth parents or something."
"But you do have a family, Tay. And you have a birth mom. Sure, you don't have a dad, but at least you have two people in your life that love and care about you. Trust me, things could've been way worse, but they're not." I told him, as I reached over and grabbed his hand. "If I'm being honest, having a dad isn't all that it's cracked up to be. I can't speak for all dad's but my dad has been hard on me for as long as I can remember, but I always tell myself that it's because he loves me and wants me to have the best in life. He and my auntie grew up without their parents, being separated and tossed around from foster care to foster care, but they best part about their story is that they got their happy ending in the end. You, on the other hand, had a happy beginning and it is up to you to choose whether you want a happy ending or not."
"You're right." He murmured. "Thanks Ivy. I don't blame you if you never want to talk to me again, but just know that I love you and I always will." I smiled as I leaned over and kissed his lips, pulling back as I placing my hands on his face.
"I love you too, Tay." He smiled as he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me in closer, as we kissed passionately.
"Awwww, babe look they made up!" I heard Bella say.
"Well it's about damn time, but check this out...you hurt my sis again and I'm have to knock you out." Gabe warned him.
"No worries, man. I'll never make the mistake of hurting her again." He said.

I was all smiles as I walked into the house, followed by TJ and Sariyah, but my smile faded when I saw my mom waiting for me in the living room. I haven't spoken to her in months, even though my dad called her and told her that I sprained my knee, and she didn't even care. Plus, she didn't come and see me off to prom, which hurt me because I at least thought that she'd come help me get ready but she didn't.
"TJ, Riyah...y'all go upstairs and do y'all homework." Our dad said. I was about to follow them, but my dad stopped me. "Yo bald headed ass mama wanna talk to you."
"Fuck you, Tevin! I heard that!" She snapped.
"Okay and? I wanted you to hear it! The fuck?"
"Well I don't want to talk to her, so tell her to leave." I said nonchalantly, about to walk up the stairs, but he stopped me once again.
"What is wrong with you?"
"Nothing. I've had a really great day at school, Tay and I are back together, and Bella asked me to be her second maid of honor. But I know that if I go in there and talk to her, my whole day...no, my whole mood will change and I don't want that type of energy in my life right now. She's made it perfectly clear that she doesn't want to be a mother...she doesn't want to be MY mother, and I'm okay with that. I have another mother that loves me, despite the fact that I was conceived while you were cheating, but that doesn't matter because she loves me unconditionally and I love her." Tears started to fall from my eyes, as I quickly wiped them away. So much for not wanting to ruin my good mood.
"Ivy..." I heard my mom say, but I cut her off.
"I got my cap and gown today." I said, pulling it from my backpack. "I'll be upstairs if you need me." I headed upstairs, closing my bedroom door behind me, as I sat down on the floor and brought my knees to my chest.
"Lil Shawty?" My dad called out, coming into my room. He sighed and walked in, closing the door behind him. "Can't believe you got my old ass sitting on this hard ass floor." I wiped my eyes, continuing to stare straight ahead.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"For what? Telling the truth? Ima break my foot off in Syd's ass for telling my damn business, and Ima break my foot off in your ass for calling me out on it!" I laughed a little, leaning against him, as he wrapped his arm around me and placed a kiss on my forehead. "I understand that you tired of dealing with your mama. Hell...I'm tired of dealing with her ass too, but she's still your mama and you should talk to her." I shook my head, refusing to communicate with her in any way.
"Can you just tell her to leave?" I asked him.
"Is that what you really want?" He asked. I nodded my head. I was tired, both physically and emotionally, and I didn't have the strength to deal with my mom. Not anymore.
"Aight then. I'll get rid of her." He pulled himself off of the floor, stretching out, as he left my room. Will I regret this decision later on? Probably not. This decision was the right decision. Not just for me, but for my mom as well.

- I Didn't Know A Lot Of You Guys Loved Ivy And Tay's Relationship So Much.
- BTW...That Test Tube Story Was Based Off A Friend Of Mine, Who Told Me That He Came From A Sperm Bank And Was Raised By Two Parents. Since We Really Didn't Know What Quanie Was Up To, When He Wasn't With Jocelyn Or Being Lovesick Over Talia, He Could've Been Giving Sperm At A Sperm Bank. I Guess We'll Never Know. 😂😌
