My life just turned upside down in a matter of seconds. I don't even think I have a supportive, innocent, responsible boyfriend anymore. I don't have the same image I had before. I'm crying, and crying and crying and I'm not going to stop anytime soon. All I want to do is die, but I'm not only killing myself, I'm killing MY baby, another person. I don't know what to do anymore, I don't think my mom is going to help me provide the child, or even help me. I don't want my kid to grow up with no father, no grandmother, no grandfather. I want a family. A dad, a mom, a aunt, a grandfather,a grandmother. My birthday is in two days. Christmas is almost here in less than a month. Soon, I'm going to find out my child's gender. I'm have so many things on my mind right now. I need a job, I need to get money to buy my child something. If no one is gonna help me, I'm gonna try, and I'll try to start focusing more on school and graduate to get a degree. I'll go to college. I know I can provide my angel, and I can start now. Something stopped me from my train if thought.
"Naveah?" I hear a voice that sound like someone is crying. I look at my door and find my mom looking at the ground, refusing to look me in the eyes.
"Mami I know-" she cuts me off.
"Do you want food? I'm done cooking" she says to me still staring at the floor.
"No thanks, I'm not hungry, but-" she slams the door behind her, ignoring me.
I don't blame her. She's very upset with me. I promised her that I wouldn't make her mistake, and I did. I broke my promise. I wasn't loyal.
I was just laying in my room in the dark.
I quickly grab my laptop and search up jobs that pay a lot of money to at least my baby things, and since I'm gonna get bigger, I'm gonna need new clothes.
The options so far is:
• front desk receptionist in a hospital : (615) 113 - 9345 : $800 a week.
• mcdonalds : (615) 113 - 4167 : $400 a week :
• lawn mower : (615) 113 - 2935 : $200 a week
• office job : (615) 113 - 5523 : $1,000 a week
------------------------
I'm going more for the front desk and a manager in a business.
So I call the number to start my job as soon as possible.
I dialed (615) 113 - 9345
It rung about 3 times.
"Hello, your speaking with Michelle Kinley, how may I help you?" She says to me in a polite voice.
"Hi, I'm Naveah Ramirez, I'm looking for a job for front desk receptionists in Minnesota State Hospital?" I say, trying to sound very polite and professional.
"Actually, yes we are hiring. But I need to ask some questions first. Some people can't be involved with the requirements of this job. First question is, how old are you ma'am?" She says, I can hear her typing on the computer keyboard.
"I'm am going to be 17 in two days." I say a little worried that should not accept me by my young age.
"Alrighty, are you pregnant?" She says normally waiting for my response.
"Yes, yes I am" I tell her and scratching the back of my head.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but being pregnant and having this job can cause a lot of problems and exhaustion." She says sounding worried and sad.
"Oh... Okay, um thank you for your cooperation" I tell her feeling guilty inside.
"You're very welcome, have a great day!" She says and and hangs up, all I hear is the buzz on the end the phone call.
So now I didn't get job for front desk. I'm gonna call the manager in a business
So I dial (615) 113 - 5523
And again it rings 3 times.
"Hello, you are speaking with John Jenkins, the manager, what can I do for you?" Sounding polite and professional.
"Hi, I'm Naveah Ramirez, I'm looking for a job, are you hiring?" I say nervously waiting for his answer while he's just beating up those keyboards with his fingers.
"Yes we do! We have one extra office, would you like to work here?" He says in a little excitement.
"Of course, I'll take it. When's my interview?" I ask him while I'm writing down this job in my notebook.
"Uh, our open schedule is November 17th, is that day good for you?" Sounding a little nervous cause there was a long pause between the phone line.
"Yes, that day is perfect, that's my birthdate." I say with a big smile on my face.
"Perfect! I'll see you in two days birthday girl! You will get paid $1,000 a week, and you will work 5 days a week, in the morning, afternoon or night, you choose. Have a good day!" He says politely sounding amused.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" I say and hang up.
I'm so relieved.
I look at my belly
Momma's gonna provide you baby
MAMI POV:
So I've been Layin' in my bed for about two days now. The 'vacation' with my daughters was the best and the worst. I'm happy I got to see my daughters communicating again, I just don't like how they kept a secret from me, and I have to find out the hard way when Luis was going to surprise Nevie. I love my girls, I love them so much, but they can't do this to me, even if I react in the worst way. I have been ignoring her since her little announcement in her room. I feel like I need to talk to Nevie again and work this out, because she cannot take care of a baby all on her own. I already hear her on the phone trying to get a job. I'm proud that she is trying to take responsibility in the pregnancy, but school and work, trust me, it's not going to last. I'm a house cleaner for goodness sake. I got my own house to clean, but look at me, I'm cleaning lazy peoples house for them. I don't want her to live like this.
I decide to go to Nevies room to speak to her, but when I open the door, I see her sleeping. I could feel myself smiling at the sight of her, but I don't want to wake her up.
I go back to my room, now it's my turn to go to sleep.
NAVEAH POV:
So I wake up early in the morning with spanish music blasting in the kitchen. Who do you think it is? MAMI.
So I go to the mirror to see if I'm showing more, and I am. Today's Sunday, and I need to call Luis. And within that, I dial his number.
"Hey Naveah." Sounding as if I just woke him up from his sleep.
"Hey Luis, can we talk?" I say nervously, I want him to say yes, cause I need him back.
"Uh sure, what's up?" He says with curiosity in his voice.
"About the other day, I'm so sorry. I've made a mistake and I regret it a lot, but it happened and I can't do anything about it. I cant have a abortion or give the baby up for adoption cause I want to keep and watch the baby grow up. I know your not the father, but I need you. I need you so much. I can't do this on my own Luis, I think mami is still mad at me and I don't blame her. But I need someone to be there for me, to help me to not give up. Please.." My voice cracked up on the last word, I find out I'm crying.
There was a long pause, and I hear a long sigh.
(Here you guys go! By the way, those are not real numbers and I decided I want you guys to know the different point of views from different people. But what do you guys think Luis is going to say? Please vote and comment! Thanks!)
