~Lydia's View
I got off the bus and walked over to get my other things. I jumped the gate and went to the shack. I saw a lock on the door with a note saying Evict. "Real petty" I whispered. I opened the patio door and heard some noises. It was the sound of a creaking bed. Then I heard moaning. "Davon is a little bitch" I said. Then I realized Davon's whip wasn't in the driveway. "Tyson slow down" a woman voice said softly trying to catch their breath. For sure that was Raven voice. Tyson I remember that name. He was the dude she was rubbing on at my job. Also, one say he came to get a cappuccino and told me his name. I heard something and I ran out.
That little bitch. I called Davon to meet me at the park. It was 9 p.m. when Davon came. "I thought you weren't going to come" I whispered. "To be honest I wasn't" he said sitting next to me. "We really need to talk" I said. "You look nice" he said. "Thanks" I whispered. "Raven" I started then took a deep breath. "She's fucking another nigga" I said. He looked at me and laughed. "I can't believe this" he said. "I know but-"How you can sit here and make up lies to break us up" he said shocking me. "What? Lol you...nothing just go home" I fired back. "She was right you'll make up any lie to trap me" he said getting up. "Next thing you know you tell me you're pregnant" he added as he walked away. I gave him a face. "Nope you're lying" he said. I watched as he drove off. I sat there on the bench crying then I told myself to get it together.

I decided to go to Ericka house. "Hey Von" Ericka said hugging me. "You look tense" she said. "I am" I admitted. Bryan came over as well. Ericka made some tea. "For real?" Ericka said after I explained everything. She took a puff of the weed and passed it. I took a sip of the tea. "You said Lydia right?" Ericka asked. I nodded as I puffed. After I fell asleep I went home. When I sat down I saw my highschool yearbook next to me. I scanned through it and all these memories ran through my mind. Then something caught my eye. I turned the pages back to see a girl who looked just like Lydia. I read the name and it was Monique Wright. Then the front door open. "Hey baby" Raven said kissing me. Then she looked as if she seen a ghost. "Where did you find that?" she asked. "Here" I replied. She sat on my lap and started to kiss me. I wasn't in the mood but it'll clear my mind for awhile. After a few days I tried calling Lydia but no answer. One say I just left work because my leg was hurting. I came home to see a unfamiliar car in the driveway. I waited in my car until the person came out. It was some talk dark skin guy. I jumped out the car and punched the guy. He fell to the floor and I started pounding my fist against his face. Raven screamed and pushed me off of him. "He's sick Davon. He's sick" she cried. I sat there on the lawn trying to keep calm. "Fuck you" I screamed as I threw my ring at her. She just kept kissing Tyson on the lip. Cleaning his blood with her mouth. I got in my car and sped off. I went to Lydia's job.
"Hey I'm looking for Lydia" I said. "You have to buy" the girl said. "One Cuban coffee" I said. "Lydia? Oh she left for New York a few days ago" she said. I walked over to a table and bought me a ticket to New York later that night. I sat in the plane thinking about her. When I arrived I asked for a rental and went to a hotel. "How am I going to find Lydia in New York?" I asked myself. I spent two days looking for her. I ended up in Queens at a Chinese restaurant. "One special fried rice" I said to the waitress. She looked at my lockscreen. "That's Lydia" she said. I turned and asked her if she saw her recently and she said yes. She told me she loved around at the end of the street. I went there the next say but I stayed in my car across the street. I heard this commotion and I saw Lydia screaming at some guy. "Leave me alone" she screamed. "I'm to old for this" she added. The guy grabbed her by the arm and pulled her close. I really wanted to help but I just felt so. Next say around 10 p.m. I saw all these people gathered around a TV. There was this big fire going on in this house. I pushed through the crowd to see a familiar neighborhood. I gasped when I realized it was Lydia's place. I rushed over there to see a drunk man laughing as the place was falling. He sat on the sidewalk handcuffed. I pushed through the police and firefighters and rushed in the burning house. "Lydia" I screamed as I tried to see through the heavy smoke. I heard coughing and some faint voice. I kicked a door down and dodge a falling pillar. I saw a dark shadow on the floor lying down. I quickly grabbed her and grabbed the window handle. It burnt my hand but I had to get out quickly. I jumped on the grass. I was over her and placed my head on her breast to feel her heartbeat. "My brother" she mumbled. I heard a baby crying inside. I jumped back in and kicked the weaken wall and grabbed a baby from the crib. We made it out just in time.
I followed the ambulance to the hospital. "You can see her now" the doctor said. I opened the door to see Lydia eating some oatmeal. "Hey" I said softly. "Hey" she said in a serious tone. "Thanks" she added. "Who was he?" I asked. She looked at me and said "My father." "He was very abusive" she added. "Hey I know thieves strange but I found a girl in my highschool yearbook who look just like you but her name Monique" I said. She nodded "That's me" she said. "So who's Lydia?" I asked. "Me.....Okay when I was 14 my momma brought me, and my brothers down to Miami" she said. I went to school over at North Western. Raven and I used robbed friends" she explained. "Why didn't you tell me? And why I never noticed you?" I asked. "Because Raven threaten to kill me if I told you and we stop being friends when she knew I liked you and she went with you" she explained. "She said you was going to be big in the NBA" she added. "I left senior year when my momma boyfriend raped me and got me pregnant. My mom didn't believe me and went back to my abusive drunken father. I had an abortion and stayed in Miami. I legally changed my name to Lydia so my father won't find me because he had people looking for me. That night you hit me with your car I was running from one of his friends who tried to send me back" she said wiping her tears. "That's some" I said pausing. "What happened to Raven?" Lydia asked. "She was cheating with Michael" I said feeling embarrassed. "He's sick" I added. "A few days after I came to New York for you she called and told me I had HIV" I said taking a seat. "Do......do you?" Lydia asked. "I told her I don't but that night you left we fucked without a condom. I wasn't thinking straight and she told me she did it on purpose and she knew she had it" I said wiping my tears. "You need to get tested" she said grabbing my hand. I nodded no. "I'm here for you" she said kissing me. I asked the nurse for the 1hr test result. Lydia held my hand as the nurse came in with the result. The nurse sighed "Mr. Brooks you're HIV free" she said smiling. "Also, Lydia your babies are fine. Luckily you got out the building at that time or you would of been in trouble" she added. "Babies?" Lydia and I said at the same time. "Yes twins" she replied. I turned to Lydia and let my tears fall. I placed my head on her stomach. "Daddy's sorry he doubted you guys" I whispered as I rubbed her belly. "They said it's okay" Lydia said kissing me. "I love you" I said kissing her. She looked at me and laughed "I love you too Davon" she said crying. After they discharged Lydia we took a flight back to Miami. "We're going home" I said. She smiled and placed her head on my shoulder.
