Marneeka George just turned 16 when her grandmother rescued her from her drug addicted mother. Marneeka is a good child until she runs with the wrong crowd and get caught up in a web of secrets and lies.
I barely got any sleep with my mother's company last night. I was so upset she would bring that bulshit into our home. I got up at 6 so I can go to the clinic and still make it to school on time.
"Big mama, I'm leaving early" I yelled in the hall to her.
"Okay, have a good day" she yelled back.
I grabbed a bagel since that's all I can keep down and left. I arrived at the clinic and I was greeted with protesters against abortions. I just brushed right through them and went inside.
"Name and ID please" the receptionist asked.
"Marneeka George and here's my ID" I handed her my information. With me being 17 I didn't need an adult present and I was so happy.
I sat in the lobby waiting and shaking. I got a text from Marcus
Marcus: Please Neek, call me
Marneeka: Marcus this is definitely for you're good.
Marcus: How can you tell me this for my good. You're killing apart of me
Marneeka: You'll thank me.
"Marneeka George" the nurse called
I got up and we went in a room that seemed to be freezing. She instructed me to get undressed. I got on the table and she put the monitor on my belly and I heard my baby's heart beat and I started crying. She went over some procedures and rules and I was trying to listen but the sound of the baby's heart beat was stuck in my head.
I laid back on the table and she went to get another nurse to help when I rubbed my belly and got sad at what I'm doing. I sat up on the table and put my clothes back on.
"Ms George, we aren't done" The nurse came back in saying.
"I'm sorry" I told her wiping my tears away.
As I was walking out I saw Marcus parked next to my car.
"How did you know I was here" I asked.
"Your Benz not hard to spot. This the only clinic in town also" he said coldly.
"How could you Marneeka. I thought we were better than this" he said to me.
"Marcus, for fucks sake I'm only 17" I blurted out with agitation in my voice.
"What?" He said with a confused look.
"I'm only 17. We were never suppose to get serious. I fell in love with you and vice versa. I'm sorry" I told him crying.
"So you lied to me from the jump " he yelled.
I jumped and started crying. "It was never my intentions to hurt you" I said crying.
"Man watch out. You a liar Marneeka. I could've went back to prison for rape" he sternly said.
"That's why I wasn't trying to get back with you. I was free and so were you. I didn't want to ruin you. This is why I didn't want to keep the baby" I pleaded.
"Well you did ruin me." He said rolling his window up and backing out.
I decided to not go to school today and go home and talk to big mama.
I pulled up at the house and big mama was in the kitchen on the phone singing church hymns with her morning prayer callers.
