Latrice's Story

chapter 19

WHILE NELSON AND LATRICE WERE IN THE ROOM AND NELSON'S MOTHER WAS IN THE KITCHEN PLOTTING HER NEXT MOVE, LATRICE GET'S A CALL FROM HER TWIN BROTHER. "WHAT'S UP LATRICE, YEA, JASMINE TOLD US YOU ALL GOT INTO IT THE OTHER DAY." HER TWIN BROTHER SAID. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BUSINESS? WHAT DOES IT MATTER TO YOU ALL WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME AND MY SISTER?" LATRICE SAID. LATRICE IS STILL MAD AT HER TWIN AND HER SISTER JASMINE AFTER JASMINE TOLD HER TWIN ABOUT THE FIRST ABORTION. NOW LATRICE BELIEVES JASMINE IS TELLING MORE OF HER BUSINESS. "SO WHY IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME TO ANYBODY, AND WHY IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME WHEN YOU CALL ME. SO WE DON'T SEE EACH OTHER FOR YEARS AND NOW ALL YA'LL CAN DO IS PUT ME DOWN. WHY YA'LL ACT LIKE YA'LL LIFE IS SO PERFECT. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CALL ME AND ASK HOW I'M DOING, ARE YOU TRYING TO PISS ME OFF." LATRICE WAS A VERY SENSITIVE CHILD, OUT OF ALL OF HER SISTERS AND BROTHERS; LATRICE TOOK HER FAMILY BEING SEPARATED BY THE COURTS, THE HARDEST. WHEN THEY WERE SEPARATED AND PLACED IN DIFFERENT FOSTER AND GROUP HOMES, LATRICE DREAMED OF THE DAY WHEN THEY COULD BE BACK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. LATRICE WANTS IT TO BE LIKE IT WAS WHEN THEY WERE ALL TOGETHER IN THAT SMALL QUIET TOWN OUTSIDE CHICAGO, BUT SHE NOW KNOWS THAT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. LATRICE FEELS GUILTY. SHE KNOWS THAT HER LIFE HAS CHANGED AND SHE KNOWS THAT SHE CAN NEVER TELL HER SISTERS AND BROTHERS WHAT HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED WITH HER. YES HER SISTER TAKES HER TO GET THE ABORTIONS BECAUSE SHE NEEDS SOMEONE OLDER WHO CAN SIGN AS A GUARDIAN GIVING HER PERMISSION, BUT LATRICE HAS NEVER TOLD JASMINE THAT SHE GOT PREGNANT BOTH TIMES BY A MEGACHUCH PASTOR WHO WAS MARRIED TO THEIR UNCLE'S WIFE'S SISTER. ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HIDDEN IN HER LIFE WOULD EMBARRASS HER IF THEY WERE SHARED. WHEN THEY WERE KIDS THEY TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING, SHARED EVERYTHING SECRETS AND ALL. SO NOT BEING ABLE TO SHARE HER NEW SECRETS IS WHY SHE CAN'T BE CLOSE TO HER FAMILY LIKE BEFORE AND IT IS WHY SHE IS SO DEFENSIVE WHEN SHE TALKS TO HER FAMILY. "DON'T CALL MY PHONE WITH THAT" LATRICE SAID AS SHE HUNG UP ON HER TWIN. AS SHE HUNG UP THAT CALL, THE PASTOR CALLED. KNOWING SHE COULD NOT TALK TO THE PASTOR AROUND NELSON, SHE SENT HIM A TEXT THAT READ, " WHAT'S UP BABE, CAN I CALL YOU BACK" AND THE PASTOR RELIED, " I WANNA PLAY...I NEED YOU TO MAKE TIME FOR DADDY" THE PASTOR STARTED CALLING LATRICE BABE SOON AFTER HE GAVE HER THE FIRST ORGASM, YOUNG AND INNOCENT AND NEEDY AS SHE WAS, SHE STATED CALLING HIM BABE AS WELL. LATRICE IS NOW TRYING TO FIND AND EXCUSE CALLING THE PASTOR BACK. SHE NEVER LIKES TO KEEP HIM WAITING. SHE KNOWS SHE CAN'T HAVE INTERCOURSE, BUT SHE WANTS TO LET HIM KNOW SHE IS NOT PUTTING HIM OFF. "I'M GOING TO THE STORE. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK" LATRICE SAID TO NELSON. "HOLD UP...I'M GOING WITH YOU" NESLON SAID. LATRICE CAN'T BELIEVE HE WANTS TO GO WITH HER. SO SHE'S THINKING ABOUT A PLAN B, WHILE NELSON'S MOTHER WHO HEARS THEM TALKING ABOUT LEAVING THE HOUSE IS STILL PLOTTING HER NEXT MOVE....to be continued
