Charlotte,
It's Been A Couple Of Days Since My Last Work Out Session. The More Sessions I Go To, The More Closer Jacob And I Get To One Another. We Text Each Other Every Now And Then, But I Don't Think It's Anything Serious. But, I Can Honestly Say That I Can Consider Him An Actual Friend Of Mine.
"Ma!" I Called Out My Mother's Name As I Walked Down The Hallway And Soon Appeared In The Kitchen, Where I Found Her Shuffling Through Paperwork And Bills.
I Gave Off A Sympathetic Expression And Took A Seat Next To Her At The Pub Table. I Really Hated To See My Mother Struggle, Even Through The Little Things.
Since I Was Younger, I've Been Having To Watch Her Stress Over Paying Bills, Wonder If She'd Have Enough Money To Be Able To Put Food On The Table, Or If She Could Afford To Buy Me New Clothes And Shoes Whenever I Needed Them. I Hate To See Her In This State, But If I Could Help, I'd Most Definitely Do It In A Heartbeat.
"Ma, You Gotta Chill Out. Your Working Yourself Too Much." Ever Since Her Landlord Went Up On Her Rent, She's Been Working Her Ass Off Trying To Keep Up With The Payments Each Month.
"I Wish I Could, Baby, But These Bills Aren't Gonna Pay Themselves." She Explained, Having A Point.
After A Few Minutes Of Silence, The Only Sound Being Ma's Pen Scrapping Against The Stacks Of Papers, I'd Finally Started Talking Again.
"I've Been Applying At A Few Places For A Job. It's Been A Couple Of Weeks, And No One Has Called Me Back Yet. I-
Before I Could Finish My Complete Thought, Ma Interrupted Me.
"Now Look. I Don't Want You Working Just So You Could Give Me The Money You Earned Yourself. This May Be A Lot, But I Can Handle It. I've Got Everything Under Control." She Got Up And Went In The Back To Her Room.
I Really Can't Stand To See Her Like This. Sighing, I Got Up From My Seat, Heading To The Back. I Need Some Rest.
Jacob,
Chresanto, My Bestfriend, Rayan, My Brother.. Well Step-Brother, And I Shouted At The Television As The Ref Called A Foul Against Our Favorite Team's Player; Dwayne Wade. We Were Just Watching The Recently Aired Basketball Game Since We Missed It When It Had Originally Came On Earlier That Day.
We'd Been Chilling Over Ray's House Since About 3 O'clock This Afternoon And It'd Be Going On 11 O'clock In A Few Minutes. I Knew Courtney Would Be Mad If I Came Home Later Than It Already Is, But She'll Be Alright.
Courtney,
"Baby, I Miss You So Much."
"Aww! I Miss You Too."
"When You Gone Leave That Pussy Boy Jacob And Get You A Real Nigga. I Wanna Be With You So Bad, And Im So Tired Of Waiting To Be With You, Cause You Can't Leave The Boy You With Now."
"I Wanna Be With You Too, But Baby, I Just Gotta Find A Way To Give It To Him Easy."
"Fuck That, And Fuck His Feelings."
Sighing, I Continued Talking. "Look, Baby, I Gotta Go. I'll Call You When I Can."
"Alright. I Love You, Courtney."
"I Love You, Too."
I Know What Im Doing Is Wrong. But Im In Too Deep To Stop Now. I Hate Myself For Doing This To Jacob, But I Can't Help What I've Done And It's Too Late To Stop.
