Keep Your Head Up (Unedited)

Chapter 19

Carter's P.O.V.

"I feel like shit..." I mumbled sitting up

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. Why am I in Monica's  bedroom?

I looked next to be and there was Monica peacefully smoking a blunt. NAKED!

I lifted up the covers. I clutched my invisible pearls. Oh my god! What did I do?

"Aww ur finally up baby."

She moved closer to me to give me a kiss on the cheek. I mushed her face with my hand pushing her back.

"What the hell happened?" I asked her

"We made love bab-"

I jumped out of the bed

"SHAME THE DEVIL, IT'S A LIE!"

I got on my knees and began to pray to the lord for forgiveness

"God...tell me what evil spirt possessed me to sleep with that thing again. What have I done to derserve this level of cruelty? Why Lord, why?! In the name of the almighty God in heaven I cast away that spirt. Back to hell where you came from...along with that thing in the bed. Not again! Never shall I Carter Marques Taylor be possessed again. I can only pray that my mama and granny don't kill me. I'm to young and handsome to die. I can't believe I cheated on my baby? Angel ,Ant, and Jay are going to kill me. If Brianna doesn't get to me first. God forgive me oh, I didn't want to. It was by mistake. Please may I not get herpes or something like that. Cleanse me and penis in the blood of Christ. Thank you, amen."

I got up and began to look for my clothes. Where did I put them?

"Not so fast Carter!"

I turned around Monica had my things in her hand.

"I made a tape of us last night. If you don't give me four million in cash. I'll send it to everyone. Including that bitch when she wakes up."

I started to look for a weapon.This bitch got me fucked up. I make the threats!

"You and I both know your not going to hurt the mother of your first child! Just give me the money and I won't send the tapes out. "

I hate her knowing I wouldn't kill her just cause she is he mother of my child.

I can't believe this shit...

"Deal. Now give me my shit!"

Adien's P.O.V.

Saturday

'Today is the big day, I can do this.' I said motivating myself

I got out of my car with the flowers and gift I had for Brianna.

I entered the hospital. Carter was waiting for me in the waiting room.

"Come on, let's go." He said walking ahead

I followed ahead of him. He looks like shit today like something is bothering him.

We got into the elevator. Carter hit buttom number three.

"You alright Carter?"

"Hun? Oh yeah..."

"Listen brah I'm sorry about everything I did to Brianna. I wish y'all the best. "

Carter starred at me, before slowing nodding his head.

The elvator opened, we got outside and walked to Brianna's room. I sat the things down on a chair outside of the room. Carter began to search me.

He looked in my pant leg, pockets, and pat down. Then through the gift I got for Brianna before allowing me to enter her room. He let me go in by myself, but was waiting outside the door.

I sat the flowers and gift on Brianna's side table. I got a chair and sat next to her.

"I know I'm one of the last people you would think would come and vist you Brianna, but I wanted to say how sorry am. You didn't s deserve any of the shit I put you through theese past seven years. Truth is I've been in love with you for the longest, I didn't feel as though I could have you so I bullied you. A stupid choice. I could have gotten to know you, showed you my better side. But that doesn't matter now."

I let out a deep breath

"Your with Carter, he loves you. I know, he's had the biggest crush on you since the eight grade. Though he didn't tell anyone, it was pretty clear, at least to me...I send you thoose red roses on Valentine's day ever year. It wasn't ment to be anyting in curel humor...I-I just wanted to show the love I have for you."

I grabbed her small warm hand

"You a good person with a big heart. I hope you can find some room in it to forgove me."

I dropped her hand. I whipped away my tears before getting up. I gave her a kiss on the forehead.

I turned around. I was out of the door when I heard...
