🥀🥀 YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE UP ON SOMEONE BECAUSE THE SITUATION'S NOT IDEAL. GREAT RELATIONSHIPS AREN'T GREAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PROBLEMS. THEY'RE GREAT BECAUSE BOTH PEOPLE CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK.🥀🥀

As soon as Kayla started school, the weeks flew by. It was now mid-October, and she was already worn out. But she welcomed the challenge. So far, her classes were pretty easy, just a lot of tedious homework and mindless group assignments. Her morning sickness had stopped weeks ago, but she had already gained close to 5 pounds. You can't win for losing with pregnancy Kayla thought to herself.
But all of that was the least of her worries. Even though she had talked to him a handful of times on the phone, she hadn't physically been in the same room as Michael since that night she passed out at his house. Almost two months ago. 9 weeks to be exact. She was counting. Seemed like she lived by weeks because of being pregnant. And she knew that the lengthy time apart was more her fault than his. Since she never really had anything to say to him on the phone outside of 'I'm fine' and 'the babies are fine', he had stopped calling as much as he used to. And she mourned that. But now, only the occasional call from her after one of her check-ups, would be their only form of communication. Khris had also started calling her, and even though she still partly blamed him for everything that happened, she liked Khris and felt that she should keep their friendship intact.
She never dreamt it would become this painful to be without Michael. She had missed him every single day. But luckily, she had her schoolwork and preparing for the babies to keep her busy. Plus, Lori called her every day on the phone checking up on her. Lori had finally admitted to the fact that she had told Khris. Lori had told her she was just scared for her and wanted some other voice of reasoning to know. She apologized to Kayla over and over, until Kayla threatened to hang up on her if she didn't stop.
But late at night, lying in bed with everything quiet...she thought of Michael. The way he used to roll over in the bed and bury his face in her hair. Or how he would whisper in her ear to wake her up because he wanted her right then. And how when he was really tired, he lightly snored.
Kayla's thoughts were interrupted as she sat in the car outside of the park. Angela's son, Jaden, was turning six today, and she and Deshawn were throwing him a huge party at a local park, completely decked out in Star Wars theme. Angela had already pre-warned everyone that her son ONLY liked Star Wars. So, Kayla had the newest Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader action figures wrapped up along with a 2016 Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video game. She figured he probably already had all of that, but what the hell.
