Teenage Love Affair

Prologue.....
5 months later...

Vanessa: How can he do this to me?

Tamara: Calm down.

Vanessa: No, I can't. I'm 6 months pregnant and just found out he has another baby on the way that he's been hiding from me. I don't know what to do or how to feel anymore but....pissed!

Tamara: I know you probably don't wanna hear this right now, but I think you need to. Steven was never good for you, no matter how much you tried to see the good in him. He is a low life dirt bag who never deserved you. You can do so much better.

Vanessa:  I just wanna focus on my baby. (plop down in a chair) I cant worry about anything or anyone size right now.  He's destroyed my trust for men completely.

Tamara:  Not all men are the same. It's some really good men out there you just have to be patient enough for it to come your way.

Vanessa: I have to...it's just gonna be awhile.  He has hurt me way too many times for the last time to the point i have my guard up. I'm going to look for me an apartment alone in Knoxville.

Tamara:  Well I encourage you. If anyone can do it, you can. You're a strong young woman...hell to put up with his ass as long as you did you have to be.  (Softly chuckles) 

Vanessa: Yeah. I just really have to get my head straight.  This is gonna be hard for me...to juggle school, motherhood and adult life. I just have to stay strong, for my baby.

Tamara:  I wont lie to you, it will be. But like i said if anyone can, you can.  (hugging her shoulder)

Vanessa: You're right.  I just have to stay strong. I'm gonna start searching for apartments tomorrow.  Since I'm gonna be by myself.

Tamara:  You'll be ok. It's not the end for Nessa. You will find yourself again. And definitely a better man even of its months or years from now. You will meet someone better.

Vanessa: (wiping her eyes) I just dont know if I'm ready for all that yet. But yeah maybe in some years. I just gotta focus on my future and my baby's future.

Tamara: What all you gotta get for the baby now?

Vanessa:  I still got quite a few thing to get honestly.  I been so stressed all I got is clothes and stuff for her hair. I still need to get a crib, a car seat, stroller, the eating chair, diapers and the changing station. Just a lot.

Tamara:  You know I got your back 110% always. If you need some help let me know.

Vanessa:  I know Tam, thank you. You've always been there for me. Even when I got into it with Shantay you still stuck up for me and had my back.

Tamara:  That's cuz Shantay be trying to bully someone and doesnt know when to shut the fuck up and stay in her place. And I put her there, hopefully for good.

Vanessa:  Yeah, but i honestly felt bad about the whole situation after it happened.  I didn't mean to slap her, she just made a comment on my baby and i just couldn't take her harsh words anymore. It was enough.

Tamara:  And that's exactly why I took up for you and fought her. We supposed to be best friends but all she does is judge us when she needs to focus on her own life and stop tryna always comment on your situation. I'm not the baddest muthafucka on the planet but I dont like that bully shit.

Vanessa:  I know. Then poor Kim she was just in the middle of it all. She didn't know what to do.

Tamara:  They've always been close Nessa, since before me and you. They grew up together.  Practically was in diapers together playing in sand boxes. They have a tight bond just like me and you and that's why our clique has always been kinda separated into two parts.
