Every Thursday I would come to rehab centers, and volunteer. I love sharing my story, and helping those who needed the help. Today, we decided to have a cookout, since it was pretty outside.
"Delilah" I heard a familiar voice, and I turned around seeing Tierra walking towards me with her son.
"Monica, how you been?" I said hugging her and greeted her baby boy
"I'm doing good, I have started a job. Working things with my mother, she lets me get him from time to time" I nodded, she had an addiction to Myth and Cocaine after giving birth to her son. When she got into an overdose, that's when she decided to get the help she needed. Now she's 5 months drug free, and looks healthier than ever.
"I'm so proud of you Tierra, I hope that you tell your story today" she nodded
"I will, I have my family with me" she said pouting behind her, seeing her mother and brothers "I want you to meet them, you have helped me a lot"
"Sure" I got up, walking toward her family
"Mom, this Delilah. The girl I've been telling you about" her mom looked at me with a bright smile "Delilah, this is my mom Juliet"
"I'm so happy, you helped her" her mother said with a smile "You really are a hero"
"I'm really proud of your daughter, and I know she's going to become someone big" I said smiling at Monica who cooed her baby, we kept talking until I saw Liam. I excused myself making my way towards him
"What you doing here?" I asked giving him a hug
"Came to support you" he placed a kiss on my head, wrapping his hand around me "Just like I always do" I smiled nodding my head
"I want you meet some people, I've been working with" I grab his hand, we walked to where Tierra was, introducing him to them.
After I told him about my past he didn't judge me at all. I can say, we had a lot of things in common. We were taking things slow, trying to get to know each other more.

I still haven't heard from anthony, I heard from A few people from the shop he was back in town. But he never replied to my messages, so I decided to go to his mother's house. Since he wasn't at his place.
I parked my car, getting out. His mom was grabbing some groceries from the car
"Hey Alice, need some help?" I said
"Hey babygril, and yes please" I grabbed some bags, "How's your brother holding up?" She asked unlocking the door putting the bags on the counter
"He's doing good" I said placing the bags on the counter "Where has Anthony bee?"
"The boy, hasn't gotten out of the room. I told him to take his depressants, but he ain't listening to me" I nodded
"He's in his rolm?" I asked and she nodded
"Go see if you can get him out of there" Alice said putting the groceries away.
I made my way to his room, slowly opening the door. It was pitch black and It smell like a skunk died in here. I turned on the flash on my phone, He got his cover over his body, not moving. There was plates, cups on his nightstand. I made my way to the window. I opened the blinds, this room need some light.
"Anthony wake up" I said removing his covers and he groaned "Now!" He got up looking at me surprise, like if he wasn't expecting me to be here
"What you doing here?" He asked getting up, going to his bathroom to brush his teeth and I followed him
"What you mean what I'm doing here? You haven't been answering my messages. You haven't even checked up on me after my brother got shot" I looked at him as he rinsed his mouth "Whats been up with you? Did I do something?"
"It's not you" he said placing his toothbrush back where it was
"Then what it is? You been taking your depressants?" He shake his head
"I have not, and we need to talk" he said looking down
"Ok..what it is?"
"Let's sit down" we sat down on his bed and he played with his fingers
"You want me to give you, your depressants?" I asked getting up, and he grabbed my head finally looking at me with tears in his eyes
"Please sit down" I nodded slowly sitting down
"You're scary me Anthony"
"I just want to let you know that I love you, and I'll forever have love for you" he said grabbing my hand, I just looked at him waiting for him to tell me what he had to say
"You're proposing to me? Cause if so clea-"
"Katherine!" He said interrupting me "I cheated on you" he blurted out, it took a second for me to process what he just said
"You did what?" I said laughing "You're lying right?" I looked at him, he had a serious face "Wow, just wow" I didn't know what to say, he was the only person that I have let into my life and I get cheated on
"Say something Katherine" he said getting up walking towards me but I stopped him
"After everything that we been through" I really couldn't process anything right, I needed a time for myself "I just came to check up on you and let you know that I'm pregnant" I opened the door, seeing Alice there and she gave a comforting hug
"If you need anything let me" I nodded "And you, we need to talk" she pointed her finger behind me
"I gotta go" I wiped my tears walking out the house, I heard anthony called my name behind me. But I didn't turn around not once, when I got inside my car. I broke down, why me?
