S.D- 30

"Mrs. Marcell i assure you that he do." Winston said.

"He dont. If he did have a child, we would've known about it."

"Mrs. Marcell, i think he was minding his business when he made that decision. Ive met the child and the mother before so i dont think you should worry about it."

"Oop." i snickered.

"And he was speaking over the mic." Armani whispered in shock, giggling after.

I was only thankful that he didn't point me out because those people look like they would murder even a dog. As soon as the hearse reversed near the church doors, his casket was open. Some people had already left while some were viewing his body. His 'family' was standing to the side fake crying. His aunts and uncles included. Once they saw him, they left and went to the family plot i assume.

My heart fell even though i couldn't see him. I was kinda scared to see him like that. And i knew that the moment i went up there, his family would know who i am. But then again, i didnt wanna leave and not see him one last time.

"Are you gonna look at his body?" Armani ask.

"Should i?"

"Of course you should. That was your boyfriend... and your baby daddy." She smiled and nudge my shoulders just as Addonis woke up.

"The mother of his child?" The pastor said. This was what i dreaded.

Everyone was looking around, even his family. I stood with Don and Armani picked up his bag. The church was slightly empty however the path as to where i would walk, was crowded. She walked behind me and the stares i was getting was of sympathy. When i got close to the casket, i looked at his family and they were looking at me as if they hated me and wanted me dead.

Finally, i was look at him. He was so peaceful. He was wearing a white expensive suit and white loafers. The gold accessories he wore could be seen and his hair was neatly groomed. But the smile he had on his face held a thousand words.

"Da." I heard Addonis say and i immediately started crying. I was trying to hold it back for so long but seeing my first love laying in a casket, made me weak.

"It's okay." Armani held me.

I looked at him one last time before she pulled me away. We walked out of the church and went to sit in the car. It was silent except for Addonis who was babbling and the texts that were continuously coming in on my phone. I ended up putting it on silent.

I sat there and wiped the small amount of tears from my face while looking at the Marcells, Armani foster parents, gathering around as if they were having a little meeting.

Armani came in the car and started it then left the church grounds. I couldn't believe that Adam was actually gone. This was the day that i dreaded the most because he spoke about it and what would happen. I didn't want to think about it but now that the day came, i was feeling frustrated. I wanted to be positive just like he ask but it was hard. I was now a single parent and i had to be strong for my son.

When we got to the graveside, Jack, Doug, Adam's lawyer and Armani was standing around me. Armani had Addonis and i was just standing there. The pastor said a prayer and sung a song while people would place white roses on his casket. I place mines down and went back to where i was standing. His casket was soon being lowered in the ground and when it all ended, everyone left.

"Come on Serenity." Jack mumbled and held my hand.

We walked back to the car just as the media teams passed us. I was just drained and felt as if i couldn't cry anymore.
