I went for a morning run thinking about Neek being pregnant. My mind has been all over the place and I haven't been to group counseling since I smashed the old lady.
I decided to go today because I have alot of built up anger in me that needs to be released.
As I was getting dressed I kept calling Neek and she was sending me to voicemail. I grew angry and punched a hole in the wall.
I arrived at group counseling and sat down. I saw Jade staring at me and I looked the other way.
"Afternoon everyone. Who would like to share first" Thomas said as he brought in the refreshments.
"I'll go. I'm still dealing with the break up between me and my girl. I ran into her and come to find out she's pregnant. She told me she wasn't keeping it but I want my child. I want my girl. I want us to be a family and I feel she taking that from me." I shared.
"Have you expressed this to her Marcus" Thomas asked.
"I told her I want to keep the baby. What more is there to express" I said.
"Maybe you should open up more about why you want to keep the baby. What was your child hood like" he stated.
"My child hood was rough. My grandpa was my everything. He died when I was 17. All I knew was how to survive and I made it happen. Brought my first house at 19. Two days later the cops raded my shit and I was arrested. She is all I really have. I want my baby and her" I cried.
"It's not many men like you Marcus. You are a stand up guy and you should be proud of yourself. Don't give up on her, she knows the kind of man you are." Jade said.
When counseling was over I tried to call Neek. No answer. I went to the drug store to get some Tylenol because everything is giving me a headache. As I was checking out I noticed Neek in the makeup department stocking shelves.
"Hey" I said approaching her.
"What are you doing here" she said looking around.
"I came to get Tylenol. So you work here huh" I asked smiling.
"This is my job Marcus. Get your pills and leave please" she pleaded.
"Look, I just want to talk. Come by when you get off. Let's get some understanding and I'll leave you be, please" I asked.
She nodded her head and I got so happy. I raced home to clean up and put Kira shit somewhere. We did fuck around after Neek and I broke up but that shit dead. I gave a her a couple stacks and she went on bout her life.
I cooked some pasta and had the mood set so I can talk to Neek and see where we go from here.
Four hours passed and I heard the doorbell ring so I went to open it.
"Neek, I'm so glad you came. I cooked if you're hungry" I told her.
She sat on the couch with a blank stare.
"You said you wanted to talk" she said.
We sat at the table and she was picking over the food. I'll admit I'm not the best cook. I'm just happy she came.
"Yeah, just like you I had my grandpa when I was younger. He was my all in all. When he passed I only knew how to survive. I got it out the mud and brought this house baby. I said One day I'm going to have my family to leave this to. I feel like you aborting the baby is taking that promise away. You or the baby would want or need for nothing Neek." I pleaded
"Marcus, I have so much to accomplish and a baby is not what I need". She selfishly explained.
"Neek, you treat me like I dogged your ass out or something. I was good for and to you. You broke up with me because your hating ass best friend. You can accomplish your goals so fuck off with that excuse" I told her with anger in my voice.

She stared at me with anger in her eyes.
"Marcus, this is my body and you can't get a legal job to support this baby. What will happen if you get locked up again? I'm not bringing this baby to visit you in prison. I'm sorry but I can't keep it" She told me.
"Neek, if you abort my baby. I'll hate you." I told her.
"Marcus, I'm doing this for you." She said getting up from the table and walking out of the house.
I went to call Kira to get my fix but I stopped dialing and went to go roll up. I haven't smoked in a minute. As I was rolling up I popped a perc also. I was trying to drown reality out.
The thought of Marneeka laying on someone table killing my seed pissed me off. I got in the car and drove around. I don't know where I was going all I know is I was angry.
I pulled up to a lil spot on the east side and sat there for a min. I was dozing off until I saw Jade. I thought about her giving me head and I got horny.
"Aye Jade" I called from my window. She came walking over.
"Hey Marcus, what you doing out here" she said looking around.
"I need to be asking you" I asked looking her up and down.
"Well you know if the money right, whatever you like" she said.
I waved 5 stacks in her face. She started drooling.
"My spot around the corner. We can go there" she said getting in the car.
We pulled up to a nice house and I was so high Jade had to help me in.
"You have to be quiet. My mama is sleep and so is my daughter" she said.
We were in her room and she started sucking me up good. Next thing you know we were at it. She was telling me to be quiet but shit she was louder than me.
I woke up and glanced at my watch and it was 8:01 a.m. and I was still at Jade spot. I thought I heard Neek but I guess I was dreaming. I went down stairs and Jade and her mama was in the kitchen.
"Oh, you're not Roy " the old lady said.
"No maam, I'm Marcus" I told her.
"Would you like breakfast" She asked me.
"No maam, I need to be going. Jade, I'll hit you up" I said stumbling out of the house.
