I lived with Darnell now cuz there's no way I can live with my mother and...Darnells dad? I can't believe this mothafuka is my sisters dad! That's fuked up. And now he got my mother pregnant again! Wow. My mom is 2 months pregnant with another girl. I pray for that baby. So...Darnell and I have the same sisters...but were not related? That's confusing and weird at the same time. Mrs. Collins is divorcing his ass and I'm supporting her. How could anyone in their right mind...love my mom? He has to know about her past and what she did! Well whatever...I don't care cuz I don't see my mom anymore. I moved and got all my shi+ in Darnells guest room which is now my room. Right now Darnell and I are chilling in his bed and his mom is asleep. We have school tomorrow. Darnell hasn't been acting the same ever since we all found out. I'm sitting on top of him and were watching tv. He's looking out the window in a daze.
"Darnell...what's wrong?" I asked. He turned towards me. "Just thinking." He said. I sighed. "I know you're mad at your father but can you please stop moping around? It's killing me." I whined. He smiled. I loved his smile. "Sorry baby...it's just that...he always tells me to be a man...and he can't even be one himself." He said. "Thats cuz he doesn't want you to end up like him." I said. "He ain't gotta tell me nothing. I know never to do the type of shi+ he pulled." He said. I laughed. "So how far along is your mom?" I asked. "Almost five months. She's having a girl...great." He muttered. "What?! You sound like having a sister is a bad thing!" I said. "It is...shi+ girls have attitudes." He said. "Really?" I asked. Then he laughed and said,"See you giving me attitude right now! You helped prove my point." he said. "Shutup Darnell." I said. He laughed. "So...have you talked to your boy Cholo yet?" He asked. I forgot all about Cholo and what his dumbass did.
I frowned. "Why do you care?" I asked. "Cuz I know he means something to you. Even though he likes you more than what he's supposed to...I still want you and him to be cool. I mean he helped you with alot of shi+."He said. I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now. "Darnell...are you fukin with my head or are you serious?" I asked. "Im serious baby. I'm not joking." He said. "Well...I'll call him later on." I said. "Good...well I'm tired baby." He said yawning. "Okay. See you tomorrow." I said getting up to go to my room. "What? You ain't sleeping with me?" He groaned. "You need me to tuck you in or something?" I asked playfully. "You can do more than tuck me in..." He said seductively wrapping his arms around my waist. "Really like what?" I asked giving him a kiss. We fell on the bed and started kissin and undressing.

I woke up to the alarm clock and I got up to go turn it off. Oh! I jolted in pain. My back hurt...damn Darnell broke my back in. Lol. I went in and hopped in the shower and then went back to Darnell room. School started at eight and it was seven. It was our senior year and we couldn't be late anymore or we were going to be suspended. I woke his sleepy ass up again and then he went and got in the shower. Mrs. Collins or I should say Ms. Collins was downstairs getting dressed. I wore a yellow tanktop,with a black mini jacket,some skinny jeans and yellow and black nikes. I was known for shoes. I be rockin Stilletos hoe! Haha. I went to the kitchen and Darnell was stuffing his face,I guess his mom was gone for work already. "Damn baby you eating like you ain't never had before." I joked geting me some food. He laughed and said with food still in his mouth,"Very funny but we can't be late again." But with the food in his mouth it sounded all mixed up. I laughed. "Darnell chew your food and
stop acting like you're 3." I said. He swallowed and then said,"Hmm last night I don't think I was 3...cuz somebody was calling me 'daddy.'" He started laughing. "Shutup!" I said. We finished eating and then we drove to school. Now that the beef with the East Sidez was over...school was better. I didn't talk to Kerry though and she didn't look my way. But I did talk to Breon and so did Darnell. Dani's ass wasn't here so I texted her and asked where she was. I didn't have any classes with Darnell except lunch. Lunch finally came and my phone beeped. I was sitting with Darnell and my friend Denshia. She was a new girl and she was real cool. Keyontae and a bunch of his friends were sitting with us too. They all were on the basketball team. I read the text and I almost dropped it. It said,'Aaliyah I can't believe this shi+ but I'm pregnant! The rubber tore and it's Coreys! I'm about to pass out girl! I'm at home and I don't know how to tell my mom.' I couldn't believe this. Dani was
Pregnant?! Oh my god,is everybody gettin pregnant?! Then Darnell bumped my shoulder. "Whats wrong girl?" He whispered. "Tell you later." i said. He nodded. I texted back,'i'll be over your crib after school.' I said. School went by quick and then I met up with Darnell at his locker. "You got practice today?" I asked. "Yeah...just take my car. And pick me up at 7." he said. "Seven?! Damn that's like 4 hours." I said. "Yeah I know...but our next game might send us to the playoffs. So coach want as much practice as we can. "Oh okay. Well I'll see you then." I said giving him a kiss. I walked away and got my stuff that I needed for homework then got in Darnell car. It was a Benz by the way. I drove over to Danis and she was on the porch smoking a cigarrette. "Hey." I said softly. "I can't believe this shi+..." She muttered. I walked over to her and snatched the cigarrette out her hand and squashed it. "What the fuk Aaliyah?!" She yelled. "Youre not supposed to smoke when youre pregnant
Dumbass." I said aloud. "Shutup! Stop saying it so loud!" She said lookin around frantically to see if anyone heard. I laughed. "Stop being so scared girl. You live on the most boring street in Chicago." I said. She sighed. "Aaliyah I'm scared." She said. "Why?" I asked. "Because! I just met Corey...what if he gets mad?" She asked. "Then he'll just be mad....no matter what it's still his baby!" I said. "You right...but I really like him! What if he doesn't want anything to do with me?" She asked. "Dani will you shutup? Trust me...Corey won't leave yo ass. All he did at Darnell house was talk about you. Now stop stressing...I hear that messes up the baby." I said. She smiled. "He did?! What'd he say?" She asked getting all happy. "Shi+ after he said you were the best girl he met for the tenth time...I stopped listening." I said. She laughed. It got silent. "You didn't tell anyone did you?" she asked. "No! I ain't even tell Darnell." I said. "Thanks...but...can you tell Corey for me?"
Okay. Whenever your friend is in a relationship...NEVER tell their significant other that they ask you to tell them. Let them do that themself cuz something ALWAYS goes wrong and the blame WILL come back to YOU. "Heeelllll naw! He ain't get me pregnant! Dani that's something you have to tell him yourself." I said. She sighed. "Do you know what time it is over there? Cuz I think I should call him and tell him somethin like this." She said. "I don't know...text him and tell him to call you when he can." I suggested. She pulled her phone out and started typing. "So where Darnell at?" She asked. "At practice. Nigg@h won't be out until 7." I said with a sigh. "Awh...well can I ask you a question?" She asked. "Uhh sure?" I said. "Have you and Darnell had se.x yet?" She asked. Damn...way to invade my privacy. "Uhm...yeah why?" I asked. Then she started laughing. "Cuz youre happier than usual..." Dani said. "Girl shutup!" I said.
"So...you talked to Cholo?" She asked. "Damn why is everyone concerned about Cholo and I?" I asked. She laughed. "Because....but I was talking to him one day and all he talked about was you. He said he was in love with you and all that type of shi+" Dani said. "What?! He's in love with me? What? Why?" I asked confused. "I don't know! But anyway yeah. He feels sorry for what he did at the party and he wanted me to tell you that." She said. I sighed. I haven't seen Cholo in forever! I don't love or like him more than a friend and I never will. Cholo was like a brother to me. "Well can you tell him that I forgive him...but I don't like him?"I asked. "Nope. You have to tell him something like that yourself." She said imitating my voice. "Shutup! Well at least come with me to go talk to him! Do you know where he'd be at?" I asked her. "At the court." She said. I didn't want to talk to Cholo knowing that he liked me more than a friend. It was an uncomfortable feeling. "Are you gonna come
With me?" I asked. "I'll sit in the car." She said. "Ugh fine let's go." I said getting in the car. She got in and I drove off to the park. I saw him by himself shooting hoops. I pulled in the parking lot and sat there. "What you waiting for girl? Go out there." She said. I sighed. Thank god he was by himself. I got out the car and walked over to him. The park was deserted. He didn't even know I was standing there. He just kept shooting the ball. "Cholo?" I said. He stopped shooting the ball and turned around. "Aaliyah?!" He asked surprised. He was so shocked to see me that when he shot the ball, it hit the rim and came back at him and knocked his ass in his bead. I started laughing. He got up and rubbed his head with a smile on his face. "I see you're still goofy as always." I said. He just laughed. Damn I could feel the tension. "So...what you doing here?" He asked. "I wanted to talk to you about the party...and make sure we still cool." I said. "Oh? Well yeah we still cool. And
my bad at the party...I don't know what I was thinking." He said. Wait. Didn't Dani tell me that this nigg@h was in love with me? "What? Somebody told me you liked me?" I asked. He frowned. "Yeah I like you...as a friend....who told you that?" He asked. Oh my god I was gonna kill Dani! I knew he was attracted to me but damn...! Oh my god this was so embarrassing! I laughed. "Oh...well my bad. I just want to get that cleared up." I said. He laughed. "Its all good...how's your mom? I've seen her around but she don't say nothing to me." He said. "Oh...yeah my mom...she's pregnant again." I said shaking my head. "What?! By who?!" He asked. Could I trust him with this? I know he hates Darnell...and if other people found out what happened ...Darnell would KILL me. "I don't know some nigg@h..." I said. That wasn't really a lie. He shook his head. "Oh my God...I hope she don't kill the baby...well if it makes it to this world...it ain't gone be here long." He said. "Yeah I know..." I said. He laughed. "So...does Darnell hate me?" He asked. "Actually...he's the one who suggested for me to talk to you...to see if we were still cool." I said. He frowned. "Word?" "Yeahh I'm serious." I said. He smiled. "Well tell him I'm sorry...for ya know what I did." He said. "Alright...well I'll see you later on Cholo." I said. "See ya.." I turned around to go but he grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back and then the memory of us sitting in the stairwell together came. Cholo was so little back then...and he was cute. We were sitting in the stairwell at like eight years old...and we had our first kiss together. He pulled away from the hug and smiled. "Bye..." I said with a smile. "Bye." I walked back to the car and Dani was cheesing. "What you all happy for?" I asked.
"One...because you and Cholo look like you guys are good! And two...I just got off the phone with Corey...!" She squealed. I started drivig back to her place. I laughed. "Really?! And what he say? I'm guessing a good thing?" I asked. "Yes! So he called me like right when you got out the car..so we were talking and I got real nervous so I started crying. Then he kept asking what was wrong. I said 'im pregnant' and then he got real silent. Then he asked if I was serious. I told him yeah and then he started yelling! Like he was happy that I was pregnant! Then he said when summer comes he'll try to move down here!" She screamed. "Oh my god,are you serious?!" I asked. "Yes!" She yelled. I laughed and turned on the radio. Damn I was so happy for Dani. I dropped her off and then drove home...only to see my worst nightmare. Cam. He was sitting on top of his car and he was alone. What the fuk?! I thought this nigg@h was in jail?! He watched me as I got out the car. But I pretended that I didn't
see him so I kept walking to my door when he called my name. I turned around. "Yeah?" I asked. "Why you gone act like you ain't see me sitting here?" He asked. I smiled and ignored his question. "Arent you supposed to be in jail?" I asked. He laughed. "Damn ma...you acting like you ain't happy to see me." He said. "Thats cuz I'm not....now what are you doing here?" I asked. "I came here for you baby. I know you still ain't fukin around with that Darius dude are you?" He asked. "Uhm his name is Darnell and yeah I am with him...and I'm staying with him." I said. "No you ain't...cuz I want you." He said walking over to me. "Cam if you don't leave me alone..." I said. "Or what? Your boys ain't around here!" He scoffed. I sighed. "Look...I already told you I didn't want anything to do with you." I said. He laughed. "Im getting real sick and tired of hearing that from you." He said. "Good. And i'm sick and tired of telling you. Now please,can you leave?" I asked. He shook his head. "I asked
politely." I hissed. "So? That don't mean I ain't gone leave you." He said. I sighed. "Well looks like you're going to be standing out here!" I walked in an closed the door. I opened my door and my mom was sitting on the couch...but something was wrong...her eyes were rolled in the back of her head. There was a bottle of beer and bottle of pills in her hand. "Mom?!" I yelled. I walked over to her and there was a note on the dresser it read:Aaliyah...I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you in your life. I really am. I'm sorry for making your life living hell. I'm sorry for losing Moesha and Im sorry for your grandmother. That day when you fought back like actually fought me back...it woke me up. But I knew you wouldn't ever forgive me and I knew it was too late for us to ever be a regular mother and daughter. But Aaliyah I am sorry. I really am...I knew if I said this to you or tried to talk to you,you wouldn't believe me. So by the time you're reading this letter...I'm gone already. Aaliyah baby I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. Well...now you won't have to see me everyday. I felt overwhelmed. Oh my god! Oh my god! She killed herself! And she's saying sorry! Tears came to my eyes and I felt so helpless. How long was she dead?! Is she dead?! So I screamed. I screamed and screamed. I didn't know what to do! Then all of a sudden Cam came running out of my room. I was too focused on my mother to even question him. "Whats wrong?" He asked concerned. He looked at my mom. "Oh shi+!" He said. "Call the police!" He yelled. My hands were shaking so much I barely could dial. Cam picked up my
mom and ran out to his car. I couldn't even speak so I just hung up and grabbed the note my mom had written me. I couldn't believe this was happening! I got in the car with Cam and he drove off with my mother in the back.
Now why you shi++in on them?

politely." I hissed. "So? That don't mean I ain't gone leave you." He said. I sighed. "Well looks like you're going to be standing out here!" I walked in an closed the door. I opened my door and my mom was sitting on the couch...but something was wrong...her eyes were rolled in the back of her head. There was a bottle of beer and bottle of pills in her hand. "Mom?!" I yelled. I walked over to her and there was a note on the dresser it read:Aaliyah...I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you in your life. I really am. I'm sorry for making your life living hell. I'm sorry for losing Moesha and Im sorry for your grandmother. That day when you fought back like actually fought me back...it woke me up. But I knew you wouldn't ever forgive me and I knew it was too late for us to ever be a regular mother and daughter. But Aaliyah I am sorry. I really am...I knew if I said this to you or tried to talk to you,you wouldn't believe me. So by the time you're reading this letter...I'm gone already. Aaliyah baby I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. Well...now you won't have to see me everyday. I felt overwhelmed. Oh my god! Oh my god! She killed herself! And she's saying sorry! Tears came to my eyes and I felt so helpless. How long was she dead?! Is she dead?! So I screamed. I screamed and screamed. I didn't know what to do! Then all of a sudden Cam came running out of my room. I was too focused on my mother to even question him. "Whats wrong?" He asked concerned. He looked at my mom. "Oh shi+!" He said. "Call the police!" He yelled. My hands were shaking so much I barely could dial. Cam picked up my
mom and ran out to his car. I couldn't even speak so I just hung up and grabbed the note my mom had written me. I couldn't believe this was happening! I got in the car with Cam and he drove off with my mother in the back.
