Diana's POV

Bitch, you finally did it. You broke the one and only Robert Gayle. The man who was supposed to be there for you, love you, never leave your side but yet he did not do any of that. Instead, he drove you crazy, he defended his ex-wife over you who he also drove into insanity, and is a liar. He is the reason why nobody has my back for real, that's why you are the way you are now and for that, he will always be a low down dirty motherfucker. I loved him I always loved him until I realized he didn't love me I did all this damn hard work just for things to end like this but it still was worth it, this wouldn't happen to him if he didn't lie I know he was young and stupid but no matter what your actions have consequences and I hoped he learned big time. I was just trying to adapt outside my comfort zone and make friends with people I usually don't hang out with and I thought Robert was that person, my new college buddy but instead I fell for some charming words that lead me to instantly jump in bed with him and yeah I know, I know I was disgusted with myself too like come on Diana in that nasty ass RV I didn't even realize it until Melinda tipped the damn thing over, after that I vowed to myself to never act like a cheap, fast-tailed slut again but I was mad and upset he never mentioned a girlfriend and that's when I realized I was in love, I know that sounds crazy but I was and I was determined to make sure he was mine even through a lousy plan twenty years in the making. God twenty years ago that just sounds like a long time ago but it didn't feel like it and it makes me feel so old but I feel young again at the same time too. I was trying to forget then I found I was pregnant, I was pregnant with Robert Gayle's baby at 18 years old but at that time I found out he moved on and married Melinda and I was all alone, I told Uncle Mike and Aunt Janet and they were not happy about that and that what scared me I was expecting a totally different response from the supposedly "Christian" people who took in me and my brother when we had nothing but apparently at that point they were done with kids after us. I saw a different side to them, a darker side to them, I was forced to decide either have my baby or continue college. Literally having to chose my livelihood over my child's life, I didn't want to do it but what choice I had, according to them if I had my baby the last thing they would pay for would be my hospital bill for when I would have gone into labor but you have to understand I was a kid trying to have a life and freedom I didn't want to be trapped anymore but I felt awful about the whole thing I couldn't live with myself but everyone else moved on with their lives like it was nothing meanwhile I was miserable but I let them got comfortable because I knew one thing for certain I wasn't letting them get away with this ruining my life oh no not at all. You can call me whatever you want, a mean, crazy, psycho bitch I don't care anymore they had it coming ruining my reputation I wanted to press charges for the staged assault I set up at Robert's place but of course Franklin knew if I pressed charges they'll press charges against me too for recording him without permission but if he wanted to he could've done it when I exposed the video, oh well- (Knocks on door) Finally the movers are here.

Diana: Hello?

Anthony: Hey.

Oh damn.

Anthony: You don't have to look like that I won't be here for long.

Diana: What's been happening?

Anthony: I could ask you the same living large after the divorce.

Diana: Pfft this old place? Its a start better than a penthouse.

Anthony: Where's RJ?

Diana: Back there sleeping.

Anthony: That baby sleep a lot.
