Camrons POV
It's been a month since claire passed and landa still won't come out of her room. Literally, I have to bring her food and get her up to help her bathe everyday. You see, right after Claire killed herself they found a note. It said:
I was so wrong about everything. I always thought I lived a pretty much model life, but I didn't. Landa, the only reason I started dating Tray was to be able to protect you. I'd never love/like him, I just wanted to get in his head enough so you'd be okay. I love you.
Yeah, there was more to it but that's the part that ate Landa alive. She has such a severe case of depression and no drive to live. I stay with her now since her Dad is never around and her mom passed away. It's hard, trust me it is, but I love her.
"Landa, babygirl I've got to go to work" Yeah, I got a job since she quit hers. Somebody has to pay the bills. As usual landa doesn't look at me, doesn't say okay, she lifts her finger up as sign she knows I'm leaving. It always makes me nervous when I leave...so I'm hiring somebody to come watch her while I'm gone.
*phone call*
Hey this is Detrell I heard you were looking for a caretaker, I'm your guy. Sister went through the exact same thing.
Camron: really? Well can you meet up with me with some form of ID at noon tomorrow? Cafe?
Detrell: I sure can!
**Next Day**
Detrell walks in wearing a nice outfit and looking pretty spiffy. He's a lightskin man, pretty good looking.
Camrons POV
First impression is key. And the fact he wore a suit to an interview for a job that won't require dressing up gives a good first impression.
Camron reaches out his hand and shakes.
"Nice to meet you Detrell is it? I'm Camron".
"Yes sir, I'm Detrell. Here's my ID. "
Camron: so detrell, I have to admit I really didn't prefer a man staying home with my defenseless girlfriend..if that's understandable.
Detrell: of course. I know it's probably alarming, I want you to know my intentions are 100% pure. Like I mentioned my sister went through the same thing, I just want to help people.
Camron: we will give it a try, but i need you to know that I will have security cams rolling in the house at all times in every room. You seem like a great guy, but just looking in the best interest of her.
Detrell: when can I start?
**later on that day**
Camrons POV
Landa has been getting sick and feeling dizzy a lot. I'm taking her to the doctor now, rather be safe than sorry.
First I get her to take a shower, give her a bite to eat, brush her teeth, and get her to the car. You know, im really missing her voice. She never speaks, never smiles, no emotions but the one blank stare.
When we arrive at the Hospital I fill the papers and explain to the doctor what has been happening.
Doctor: Has she been sexually active in this time frame?
Camron: no sir--
My heart drops, she has. That first day we met, a month ago, and I did not use protection. I was a virgin! I didn't just carry condoms.
I quickly change my answer
y-yes sir, she, i mean we have.
Doctor: well, as protocol we will be checking for a pregnancy.
I look over at Landa and for the first time in a month her expression changes, I can't quite put my finger on to what. Excitement, nervousness, anger?
The doctor performs the test, and the minutes that follow have to be the worse.
Doctor: She's pregnant
As I opened my mouth to speak, I'm interrupted
Landa: really?
Doctor: Yes ma'am, really. You're going to have to start taking better care of yourself, you're living for two now.
That's what I wanted right? To here my sweet Lan's voice. But God help me, a dad? ME??
Authors note
Whattt? Landa's pregnant?
How do y'all feel about that?
Do you think she'll keep it?
Will she get out of her
depression?
Oh heres a killer question, is it really camrons? Hmmm
Hope you're enjoying so far.
