33. Cry Wolf

Summer

“Trey, get this shit out the fucking way before I fall! Daaaamn!!!” I yelled moving his shoes as I sat on the couch and covered up in my blanket. We had our appointment and yes indeed, I’m pregnant, but shit has been on a downhill ever since; Trey and I can’t stop fighting and it’s not helping that I can’t keep down any food but soup… barely. “Fuck are you yelling at? I told you I would come get it and shouldn’t you be laying down? Know yo ass is supposed to be on bed rest but you don’t fucking listen.” Snatching up the shoes, he walked into the room and slammed the door startling me a bit as I sat there. Trying hard, I failed miserably as I felt the stinging sensation of tears at the back of my eyes.

Sniffling some, I got up and walked into our room and into the closet as he watched me. Grabbing a duffle, I packed some clothes and walked over to grab some panties when I heard him at the door. “Where are you going, Sums?” “Away from you. You clearly don’t want me here and you definitely don’t want this baby, so I’m gonna stay with my sister for a couple nights while I figure out somewhere to go.” I cried as I packed. “Summer, come here. Please?” He cooed gently. Doing so, he rubbed my shoulders before hugging me and kissing my forehead. “I’m sorry, baby. I know you’re just trying to rest and I’m not making shit better by being harsh to you. I’m just really stressed out trying to find a better plan for our family and it’s taking a toll on me. I didn’t mean to yell at you and I definitely didn’t intend to hurt your feelings. Can you forgive me?” Wiping my eyes, I nodded and sniffled before hugging him close as he rubbed my back and soothed me.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Making it up to me with a date night, Trey and I decided to eat at Panera so I could get some form of food for the baby. “You almost ready, bae?” “Yea.” Finishing up, I walked out and blushed as he stared at me hungrily. “Baby, you look amazing.” “Awwww thank you! Let’s go eat!”

Erika

Waking up to an alarm going off, I rubbed my eyes and groaned realizing I was getting a phone call. Getting even more annoyed when I saw it was just my mom, I answered because I knew she would only keep calling. “Hello?” “Mija, are you okay?” “Yes, Mom, you just woke me up is all. What’s going on with you?” “Nothing much, but listen, I had a dream.” “Oh, Mom, come on. I’m too tired to hear about another one of your dreams.” “No no no, not the freaky ones. This is important. I had a dream about a fish.” Sitting up, I looked down at the phone again. “Can you repeat that for me?” “I dreamt of a fish.”

Sitting in shock, I stared off into space. How did she know me and Peyton were trying for another baby? Being interrupted by the sound of knocks, I got off the bed. “Ma, someone’s at the door. I’ll call you back.” “But Mija-“ Hanging up in a bit of a daze, I walked down to the front door and opened it up to see Trey and Summer. “Hey, sweetheart. Hi, Summer.” “Hey, Mrs. E.” “Is Dad home? I kinda wanna talk to you guys.” “Um, y-yea. Come in.” “Peyton. Trey and Summer are here!” Coming out of his office, he dapped and hugged them before taking a seat. “What brings you two by?” “Well, we have an announcement to make.” “Okay.” “I’m pregnant!” Looking down at his hand rubbing her stomach, I felt my heart breaking as I got up and left the room.

Peyton

“Excuse me for a minute.” I said rubbing Summer’s hand as she looked down sadly. Getting up, I headed upstairs and heard sniffling coming from the master bathroom before knocking on the door. “Baby bear? I know you’re in there.” “Go away.” She cried as I frowned hearing her pain. “Let me in, baby.” Opening the door, she cried hard as I pulled her into a gentle hug and kissed her forehead. “I know, baby. I know.” “Why can’t I have another baby?”

Reopening of Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid this summer

After the most comprehensive renovation in its 110-year history, the legendary Hotel Ritz, Madrid, is expected to reopen in the summer as the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid.

Planned and designed under the direction of legendary hotelier César Ritz, the hotel opened its doors for the first time in 1910.

The renovation will greatly improve the facilities and amenities of the hotel, while preserving its distinctive character, encapsulated in the original building's Belle Époque theme.

The Spanish architect, Rafael de La-Hoz, was instrumental in providing the context for the historical restoration, while the French designers, Gilles & Boissier, supervised the interiors in order to increase the appeal of the property to local and international guests while celebrating the pioneering spirit of César Ritz.

The re-design of the public spaces has concentrated on restoring the many fine architectural interior features of the hotel, while adding a variety of valuable artistic items from the collection of the property, including crystal chandeliers, antique paintings and sculptures.

In Spain's capital, the hotel has always been an important part of society and has welcomed royalty, politicians, business leaders and celebrities.

It is situated within the 'Golden Triangle of Art', a region identified by the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía Museum of Modern Art, the most significant museums in the city.

The location of the property within a prestigious residential area close to the financial and commercial district of Madrid and El Retiro Park adds to its attractiveness.

We are proud and excited to open our second hotel in Spain this summer, the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid. 

"The meticulous restoration is designed to ensure that this legendary property is once again recognized as one of the largest hotels in Europe," said James Riley, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group Group group chief executive. 

"We are confident that this historical landmark will make the local community even more proud, and we look forward to providing our guests with memorable experiences in majestic surroundings, all underpinned by the exceptional service of Mandarin Oriental."

Gilles & Boissier developed a sleek concept for the new guest rooms of the hotel, encapsulating the 153 rooms, including 53 suites, in a traditional but contemporary residential style.

There are many exclusive speciality suites within the suite inventory, featuring unique design elements influenced by the historic ties of the hotel to the city, Spanish culture and art.

The spacious Royal Suite and the Presidential Suite provide breathtaking views of the Museo del Prado. There are two new suites situated in the towers on the top level, each with private balconies and views of the Prado Museum and Lealtad Square.

New Orleans Braces for Evictions as Renters Fall Behind, Belongings Pile Up on Streets

L. Kasimu Harris for The Wall Street Journal

Hundreds of renters in New Orleans have received eviction notices this summer due to unpaid rent—and local advocates and officials expect the worst has yet to come, right as hurricane season gets under way.

That is because Louisiana’s ban on evictions during the coronavirus pandemic expired in June and the grace period for a separate federal eviction moratorium expires Aug. 24.

Even before the pandemic, 44% of the state’s renter residents were considered housing cost-burdened, according to the Louisiana Housing Corporation, meaning they spent more than a third of their incomes on rent. And at $247 a week, Louisiana has among the lowest maximum unemployment benefits of any state.

Chucked-out belongings are now spotted on some New Orleans street corners. Baby cribs and child car seats, the remnants from forced-out families, sit stacked in piles in 90-degree heat. One Twitter user dubbed the unsightly accumulations “eviction cairns” in the city of 400,000.

With limited public funds on hand, the mayor of New Orleans is asking the public to donate money through Givebutter.com, a website often used by college students for funding charity causes, to raise money for tenants who can’t pay their rent.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s effort has brought in about $46,000, according to the website, short of her stated goal of $75,000. That amount would cover three months of rent for 31 families who pay $800 a month or less.

Ms. Cantrell summed it up in a message on her website: “The need simply far outpaces the resources.”

Ms. Cantrell began fundraising shortly after a federal eviction ban expired last month. Cities such as New York and San Francisco have banned evictions during the pandemic to protect tenants behind on rent, but New Orleans hasn’t. It is one of the most susceptible places in the country for mass evictions due to its large, low-wage population facing job losses and other hardships during the pandemic.

The federal government, through existing funding and several relief programs, has supplied $24 million to Louisiana to help renters statewide. But local administrators say their systems have been overwhelmed by the number of requests and little of the money has been distributed. Like the city of New Orleans’ rental assistance fund, it was inundated with applications as soon as it was announced.

“We’re gonna see what happens now,” said Constable Lambert C. Boissiere Jr., whose job is to enforce evictions when people are ordered to leave their homes by court judges.

Most tenants move out voluntarily when receiving an eviction notice. If they don’t, the constable’s deputies step in. As of Aug. 13, Mr. Boissiere said his deputies had enforced 76 evictions since June. One woman, Mr. Boissiere said, locked herself in her bathroom until police officers were called in to get her out.

“It’s sad to see, especially single parents with children that had to be evicted,” he said.

Denike MaGee, a 22-year-old single mother, hopes to avoid that fate. She is several months behind on rent, and her landlord in New Orleans East moved to evict her earlier this month. The judge ruled that she couldn’t be removed until Aug. 24, under the terms of the federal eviction moratorium. A local charity, Total Community Action, also offered to pay for some of her rent.

Ms. MaGee, an out-of-work housekeeper, qualifies for $28 a week in unemployment benefits in Louisiana. As of mid-August, she had about $100 in her bank account, she said. Her rent is $750 a month and she hasn’t paid this month. If evicted, Ms. MaGee and her 3-year-old daughter might have to move in with her mother, who has diabetes and a higher risk of Covid-19, Ms. MaGee said.

“It’s kind of scary and I have to prepare myself for the worst,” Ms. MaGee said.

Hannah Adams, the legal aid attorney who helped stop Ms. MaGee’s eviction, is trying to work with her landlord to establish a payment plan that would keep her in her home.

Even before the pandemic, 44% of the state’s renter residents were considered housing cost-burdened.

L. Kasimu Harris for The Wall Street Journal

Ms. MaGee’s building is owned by a subsidiary of the nonprofit Global Ministries Foundation. Chasity Blackburn, the company’s managing director, said with the help from charity now coming in, she expects Ms. MaGee to be able to stay.

“When someone owes us $7,000 and they come in and only pay us $700, that’s not going to work. We’re still a business at the end of the day,” she said.

Many New Orleans landlords say they try to work out payment plans with tenants who will work with them. But they say they can only let people live rent-free for so many months and still be able to pay their workers and their own debts.

Joshua Bruno, a landlord whose company owns about 1,500 apartments in New Orleans, has filed evictions against some tenants during the pandemic. Units at his lower-cost apartment complexes are now renting, he says, as service-industry workers with fewer hours look for cheaper housing options.

“[They] realize that where they were making $1,000 a night as a bartender, they’re not going to make that now,” Mr. Bruno said.

Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid to Launch in Summer 2020

One of the most anticipated hotel openings of the year is actually a reopening. Situated directly across from the Prado in the Spanish capital, the Hotel Ritz Madrid is a Belle Époque palace with a historic pedigree. King Alfonso XIII officiated at the grand opening in October 1910, which unveiled lavish touches that delighted Madrid society (like the custom carpets from Spain’s Royal Tapestry Factory). Since that time, the Hotel Ritz has been an icon in Madrid, rolling out the red carpet for visiting celebrities, politicians, and royalty. Previously owned by Belmond, Hotel Ritz was acquired by Mandarin Oriental in 2015. Now, after a restoration that's billed as the most extensive in the hotel’s 110-year history, the landmark will be reopening in summer 2020 as the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid.

Expect new facilities like the spa equipped with a heated indoor swimming pool, a vitality pool, experience showers, a steam room and fitness center. The five culinary outlets are also getting a new lease on life with famous chef Quique Dacosta at the helm. (He’s behind the three Michelin starred Dénia, in Alicante, and the two Michelin starred El Poblet restaurant in Valencia.) The 153 guestrooms, including 53 suites, were given a complete makeover by French designers Gilles & Boissier. The unique specialty suites (like the Royal Suite, pictured above) will provide a deep sense of place with historic and cultural details—not to mention views over the famous Prado museum. We also like the sound of the two new balconied suites in the top floor turrets.

31. The Good Fight

Tatianna

Watching Anthony put Tyson in his car seat, I stomped impatiently at his slow pace earning a stern glance in my direction. “Keep it up, Tatianna. Imma tear that ass up.” “Is that a promise?” I smiled biting my lip as he started the car. “You ready, Ty?” Clapping his hands and cooing, I laughed and played with his feet as Anthony pulled off to the doctor’s office.

“Are you doing okay today, Miss Tati?” “Yea. I was a little sick waking up though. I think she doesn’t like bananas anymore.” Rubbing my tummy. “Awww well that’s normal, sweetie. Your diet will change a lot more than it did last time. It’s just gonna take some adjusting, but let’s see what baby is up to.” Sliding on the gel, I bit my lip and watched her place the monitor on as Anthony bounced Tyson in his lap. “Ok so here’s the baby right here. They’re definitely in an active mood today; do you see all that movement?” Giggling, I nodded and smiled at Anthony. “Ok, and here is the heartbeat!! So strong!” “When we gone get to the gender already?” “Baby, quit being so rude!” “I’m sorry but I’m just so hype.” “Well hype no further because there’s the baby.” Pointing at the screen, I smiled and cooed as the tiny figure moved around on the monitor and inside me, both causing my heart to melt. “The baby’s smiling, awwww…” “It’s so precious!” Tearing up as Anthony rubbed my scalp. “Ok, I’m looking in between the legs right here and it looks like you two are having a beautiful little girl. Congratulations.” Squealing, I cried and smiled watching her move freely. “That’s our little girl, babe. Our girl.

Summer

Finishing with the rest of the dinner, I heard Trey coming down the stairs and smiled as he placed his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. "Hey, baby. What you cooking?” “Just some soul food. I’ve been craving some Mac and cheese lately so I figured I’d make that and some other stuff.” “I didn’t miss an anniversary or nothing, did I?” Giggling, I rubbed his hand. “No, baby. Nothing like that.” “Ok good. Let’s eat.” He cheesed smacking my ass and sitting down as I started on the plates.

Finishing dinner, he groaned satisfactorily and rubbed his beard as I set our plates in the sink to soak. Heading upstairs, I followed him and sat on the edge of the bed while he reclined and caught up on the game highlights. “Baby, can I ask you something?” “Anything.” Fidgeting with my fingers as I faced away from him, I swallowed the lump in my throat. “What do you think about kids?” “You mean like having a kid?” “Yea.” “I feel like kids are beautiful creations and later down the line when we get to that stage in our lives, we’ll be happy.” “What do you mean when you say later down the line?” “Like when we 25 or some shit, cause I know we ain’t ready for that type of change right now. We too young for a baby.” “Nae did it.” “True, but my sister is more mature than me when it comes to that stuff there. No lie, if you told me you was pregnant right now, my first thought would of probably been to get rid of it.”

Listening as a tear fell down my cheek, I quickly wiped it before he could notice and got up to head to the shower. “Where you going?” “Take a shower. I have a big psych exam coming up so I’m gonna see if Nae will help me study for it.” “Oh ok. Night baby. I love you.” “Love you too.” Locking the bathroom door, I turned on the shower quickly as I silently wretched over the toilet and threw up. Cleaning myself up, I stepped under the hot water and let it consume me as I thought about my next steps. He doesn’t want kids right now but it’s a little fucking late for that! What the fuck am I gonna do?! I think what hurts the most is him telling me how he would want to get rid of it. Get rid of our child?!

Feeling dizzy, I sat on the little bench in the corner and just cried quietly until I couldn’t anymore. I don’t know what I’m gonna do but I definitely need to see Janae.

Tamia

“Oh so that’s what you thought about me when we first met?” “Only a little bit, baby. You gotta admit though, yo ass is spoiled.” “Only in a good way.” I pouted cutely as I rubbed his arm. Continuing our walk down the square, I laughed and smiled at his comments as I admired his looks. I guess you could say Javi and I are dating. Over the course of this year, our friendship has blossomed into something more and I’m really enjoying this sense of happiness that he brings me. He’s so positive and charming, and I feel so lucky to call him mine. “I see the way you eyeing me, girl. You must want this pipe down?” He smirked. Did I mention how blunt and sexual he is?

Laughing at each other and forgetting about the world, I was joking around with him when I accidentally bumped into someone’s chest hard causing me to stumble and fall. Feeling whoever it was catch me, I immediately went to apologize. “Oh my god, I’m sooo so- You have got to be fucking kidding me!” “Tamia?” He said in shock as I shook his hands off of me and fixed my outfit. “H-How have you been?” “I’ve been great. And you?” “I’ve been good uh-” “Marquez!”

Looking up, I saw a woman and a little boy staring up at him. “Ohhh, I see you are.” “Yea. That’s the wife.” Hearing him say wife cut deep as hell but I’m not even surprised. “Congrats!” I uttered sarcastically as she approached with their son. “Hey, baby, who is this?” “Mo, this is Tamia.” “Hi.” She crooned in a fake ass happy tone. Nodding at her, I gave her an equally fake smile as the boy tugged on his pants. “Oh and this is my little champ, Cameron.” “Hi.” “Hi, sweetie.” Sitting in an awkward silence, it got even more weird once Javier walked up. “Aye, baby, you ready?” “Yea.” I smiled as he kissed my neck before I looked away from Que’s intense glare on us. Lord, why’d this have to happen tonight?

29. Hurricane

Angelina (wearing the bandana)

Sitting and waiting at the paternity office, I looked over and groaned as Janae cried weakly into KC’s chest. I honestly wish he would have left her annoying ass at home, but I guess this involves her too since my son is gonna be the twins’ half brother. Ever since people found out about my pregnancy, I’ve been judged. I had to change schools when I first found out so of course rumors spreaded like wildfire but everybody can kiss my ass. As long as Kaiden is good, I’m good. “Wills and Mendez?” Getting up, I carried Kaiden as he slept in his car seat and walked in while KC held the door for me and Janae. Taking a seat in the office, we were greeted by the doctor and listened carefully for the results.

“Hello, everyone. I understand that you all took a paternity test a few days back and we have the results for you in these envelopes. Would you like me to read them aloud or to yourselves?” “Um… aloud.” He said shakily as his body trembled in the seat. “Is that ok with you, miss?” “Yea, it’s fine.” Taking the results out, I sat up as Janae bit her nails nervously and Kass looked down at the ground. “In the case of Mendez v. Wills as it pertains to three month old Kaiden Angelo Mendez, the results find Mr. Wills to be a 99.99997% match as the potential father.” Watching them break down crying, I shed a few tears at how heartbroken he looked to find out he had a son. I know how much he loves Janae, it’s obvious, but if she loves him back she can deal with the fact that she can’t hold all his attention anymore. She has to share with Kaiden.

Running out of the room, he called after her and sat back down crying even more as I sat in silence and made sure our son was ok. “Can I?” “What?” Looking up at his sad expression. “Can I hold him?” Nodding slowly, I picked him up as he stirred a little bit in his sleep and handed him over to KC. “Hi, daddy’s boy. I can’t believe I have a son.”

3 MONTHS LATER

Erika

Putting on the final touches to my makeup, I walked over to the bed and admired my outfit before putting it on and tying my heels. Hearing a knock on the door, I asked whoever it was to come in as I put on a bit more lipstick. Watching Ellis walk in, he saw my outfit and scrunched his eyebrows. “Where you going? Dinner bout to start in ten minutes.” “I have a date.” Laughing obnoxiously, he stopped seeing I wasn’t reacting. “Run that by me again?” “I’m going on a date. Don’t wait up.” I said grabbing my clutch and walking towards the door when he firmly grabbed my wrist. “Oh no the hell you not! You ain’t going nowhere, Erika. I’m not fucking playing with you.” “And who the hell do you think you are to tell me where I can and can’t go.” “I’m your husband!” “Since when?!” Clenching his jaw, he let me go as I rubbed the sore spot in my arm and scowled at him.

“You know I really fucking tried to deal with this amnesia shit, but I can’t no more. It’s been three fucking months and you don’t even remember your husband of twenty years. The doctor told me you would get better and shit. ‘Don’t push her too hard, Mr. Ellis’ 'Let her work through her own progress’, well I can’t! If you wanna go on your bullshit ass date, then fucking go. Leave!” Sitting on the bed, he laid his head in his hands as he rocked back and forth crying. Feeling bad, I stood there silently before I heard giggling coming from the hall. Looking up, I saw Peyton’s youngest child, PJ, running in the hall as his dog Bosco Jr. chased him. Watching the light reflect off of BJ’s collar and flash in my eyes, I was hit with the memories of the crash, me and Peyton’s argument beforehand, and everything else before that.

Gasping sharply, I looked around and realized I was in the guest room as Peyton sat crying on the bed. “Bear, why are you crying?” “What did you just call me?” “Bear. The same thing I’ve been calling you since we first met.” I said looking at him confused as to why he would ask me that. Jumping up, he ran at me and scooped me up in the air before spinning around. “Baby, you’re making me dizzy!” Putting me down, he kissed all over me and hugged me making me smile. “Did I miss something?” “Not a thing, baby. Not a thing.”

Summer

“Ok, you got the snacks ready, Ellie?” “Yea. What about you, Mari? Are the movies all set?” “Queued up and ready to go. Think she’ll like it?” “I think she’ll love it.” Getting her text that she was here, the other girls hid as I went to get the door. Opening it, I saw her looking sad and I frowned. “Awww, sweetie, what happened?” “I saw him today and he looked so broken, and he said he had something to tell me but that it would change my opinion on him, so he was afraid to say. I had went to the paternity office because I was feeling like something wasn’t right, and I asked for Kaiden’s date of conception.” “And when was it?” “November.” She said crying. Remembering that they celebrated their first month of dating in November, I quickly walked over and hugged her as she sobbed on my chest. “He cheated on me, Summer. He fucking cheated.”

32. What’s It Gonna Be?

Summer

Waking up bright and early, I looked over at Trey snoring slightly in the sheets as the guilt started to build up inside. Kissing his forehead, I got in the shower and let the heat consume me as I cried thinking about what I was getting ready to do today. After what seemed like forever of me crying, I calmed down enough to end my shower and go get dressed. Coming out the closet, I saw him wide awake as he laid on the headboard watching tv. “Good morning, beautiful.” “Morning.” I said as I kissed him quickly. “That old poo ass kiss. Where you bout to head to?” “I gotta run some errands and get stuff for the apartment.” “Ahh boring shit. Well I’ll see you when you get back. Gimme kiss before you go.” Walking over, he pulled me into a deep, heart melting kiss and I could do nothing but stare at his features for what would probably be the last time. Letting go, he opened his eyes and smiled biting his lip. “Bye, bae.” “See you later.” No you won’t. Getting in my car, I pulled up to the clinic and just sat outside. God, I know you’re not happy with what I’m about to do, but just please do me one favor? Don’t make him hate me forever.

Trey

Chilling at the crib, I watched some cartoons and went ahead and cooked as I waited for Summer to come back home. She seemed a little off this morning but I didn’t wanna say nothing until she got her stuff handled. Imma definitely ask her tonight though before I pop the big question. Yea, that’s right! Ya boy proposing tonight. I love that girl with my whole heart and I just can’t see myself with no one else. I know she’s my queen and I can’t wait to spoil her and give her the family she’s always wanted. I been thinking on a lot of shit lately and I know we young, but I don’t mind the idea of a couple of little feet running around.

Smiling at all my mushy thoughts, I looked at the ring one last time before putting it away in the safe; I gotta commend Guillermo cause he did the damn thing on that one - I included Daisy’s cause those her favorite flowers along with the color yellow cause she’s my sunshine and it’s her favorite color too - I just hope she likes it. Hearing the phone interrupt my thoughts, I picked up and waited. “Hello?” “Hi, is this the Boissiere residence? We were calling to confirm an appointment for a Summer Boissiere?” “I’m Summer’s husband. What appointment would this be? She scheduled a lot of them today so I don’t want her to be confused.” “Ah yes. It says here that we have a 10:00 appointment for an abortion. Just call us back and we ca-“ I ain’t hear a damn thing after that.

THREE HOURS LATER

Waiting on the couch in silence, I stared at the empty space with an empty head and even emptier heart. I ran out of tears a couple hours ago. Hearing the locks, I stayed in the same position as I heard her chatting happily on the phone. “Hey, baby. I picked you up some Cane’s on the way home.” “Not hungry.” “What’s wrong, bae?” She asked sitting the food in the microwave and checking my forehead. “When were you gonna tell me you was pregnant? Before or after you got rid of it? Seeing as you over here cheesing away, I’m assuming never.” “What?” “The clinic called. Had to make sure you was set to go.” “Baby, I can-“ “Bruh, don’t even say that shit!” I shouted startling her as I got off the couch and started pacing. “And to think I was really bout to get on one fucking knee and propose tonight?! That shit all the way dead.” “What?” “Yea, had it all set up. Talked to your folks yesterday. But fuck all that. Why did you keep this from me?!” “Are you serious? You blatantly told me you weren’t ready for fucking kids! What was I supposed to do?!” “FUCKING TALK TO ME! That’s what the fuck was supposed to happen!!! We could have figured something out!” “Like what, huh?” She said tearing up. “Nah, don’t do that shit! You don’t get to do that to me right now.”

“No, fuck you, ok? I’ve stood by you since day one! I’ve loved you since day one! All the fucking heartache and bullshit I’ve been through for you, and you wanna act like you’re the only one who gets to make the decisions? Fuck that! Trey, I’m scared as hell! I haven’t even finished my first semester and I’m thinking about strollers and cribs, so yes I fucking panic and went to the first option I could think of because the love of my life would have probably abandoned me like you always fucking do when shit gets tough.” “No, I would not!” “YES THE FUCK YOU WOULD!!! I panicked, ok? But I would never ever kill your baby.” She bawled as I stared in shock. “So you didn’t do it?” “Of course not. I sat outside for a few minutes and then I left and went to the park. There were so many people out there with their little ones and I wanted that so much. I still want that, Trey.” She said as she sat down and wiped her eyes. “Summer-“ “I don’t want your sorry, Trey. I’m tired of sorry. I just wanna go to bed… Our appointment is next week.” Watching her walk to the room, I felt guilty as I sat down and rubbed my temples. Walking into the room, I saw her stripping and walked up to her before hugging her gently from behind. “I love you so much and I’m sorry, baby.” “I love you too.”

36. Heartbeat

Summer

Eating my slushy, I rubbed my tummy as baby girl kicked and wiggled around. “Dammit, Serenity, let Mommy eat!” I whined sitting up in my chair as my girls laughed at me. “That’s what you get for breaking up with Trey. She just misses her Daddy is all. Awww.” Gigi cooed rubbing my tummy so she would stop. “Why am I friends with you?” “Cause you love my blasian ass.” “Mmmhm.” “Yea yea, I’m cute, now go apologize to Trey.” “Hell no!” “Why not, Summer?” “He called me a brat, the fuck?” “Bitch, you are a brat. Even for my standards.” “I don’t care. He still didn’t have to say it.” “Right?! He know you with child, so he shouldn’t even have said all that. That’s how King be actin’, his stupid self.” Nique pouted sipping her milkshake. “He did though and you needed to hear it.” “She’s right, girl.” Keely said nodding as I frowned. “Nah, fuck that. He shouldn’t have called me a brat and I’m not apologizing! Period!”

A FEW HOURS LATER

“Oh my god, baby!!! I’m sorry! I’m so fucking sorry, Daddy!” I moaned as he dug out my walls. “And you ain’t ever gone do that shit again?” “Yessss, Trey! Shit, that’s my spot!” Stroking harder, I gripped the sheets and cried out as we released together before collapsing on the bed. “I love you so much, Trey. I didn’t mean what I said.” I pouted holding him. “I did mean it, but I still love yo spoiled ass too.” He smiled kissing me and moving down to my belly. “Hey pretty baby.” He cooed rubbing my stomach in circular motions before I eventually fell asleep.

“So did you get the crib set up, bae?” “Yea, we just gotta get her rocking chair put in and I’m finishing the mural in the morning.” He said feeding me a strip of turkey bacon as I looked at baby clothes. “Ooooh, I wanna see!” Getting up excitedly, I waddled into the nursery and gasped at how pretty it looked with all the decorations and the crib. “Do you like it?” “Awww, babyyyy!” I said crying as I waddled over to him. “Don’t cry, bae.” “It’s so cute!” I cried as he hugged me closely. What would I do without my baby?

THE NEXT DAY

Tatianna

Fluffing my gown out, I played with the proportions as my mom adjusted my veil. “You look so beautiful, baby.” “Thank you, Mom.” Smiling, she held my cheek as we tried to hold back our tears. “Oooh! Pitty, Mama!” Ameera cheered clapping as I giggled. Helping put her curls up in a cute bun, I put on her shoes and walked into the hall to see my Dad. Seeing him well up with tears, I smiled and wiped his eyes. “Don’t cry, Daddy.” “You just look so beautiful, princess. I can’t help shedding a few tears.” Hugging him, I held his hand and my mom’s as she joined us. “You ready, baby girl?” “More than ever.”

Awaiting at the door, I took a huge breath as the chambers of the church were opened.

Anthony

Watching as Tati walked the end of the aisle with her parents on either side, I smiled as the heavy tears rolled down my face. Thinking back on all the hardships and triumphs, I couldn’t help the tears of joy at how far we’ve truly come into our relationship. Meeting me at the alter, I shook her dad’s hand and gave her mom a gentle hug before taking her hands in mine as we faced each other.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to partake in the wonderful union of love between this man and woman standing before you. If anyone should object to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.” Waiting as the moment of silence came and went, I smiled as she gently wiped my tearful cheeks. “Tatianna, you are my absolute everything, baby. From that first moment I saw you, I knew that I needed you in my life and I would do anything to have you by my side. You’re smart, beautiful, positive, caring, and watching you become a mother to Tyson and Ameera has truly been the biggest highlight of my life. I love you so much, and I will do everything in my power to honor you as a husband.” Kissing her cheek, I wiped her teary eyes as she sniffled. “Anthony, you are my protection, my guide, my counselor, my lover, and my best friend. I love you with my all, and I love how much you’ve grown in this relationship for me, baby. I can’t imagine my life without you helping me with the kids, or just being around period. I will always cherish you as I know you will with me.” “May I have the rings?” Stepping forward, Tyson and Ameera handed us our boxes and returned back to my mom and pops as we held hands. “Repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed.” “With this ring, I thee wed.” We recited together as we slid on the rings and smiled. “It is with great honor that by the state of Georgia, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.” Pulling her close, I kissed her with everything I had as our families and friends cheered on.

Marley

Sitting at my table, I watched how in love Anthony and Tati looked as their song boomed throughout the venue. Feeling my depression kicking in again, I sighed and shrugged because it was no one’s fault but my own; I shouldn’t have ended things so abruptly with Malcolm but I just couldn’t trust his words to meet his actions. Even after all that, he’s still going above and beyond to be a great father for our unborn son though. I have no doubt about his parenting skills, but my trust for him has been lacking. Feeling a tap on my shoulder, I looked up and saw Malcolm looking good as hell as he stood over me in his tux. “Wanna dance?” “Sure.”

Leading me onto the dance floor, he placed his hands on my waist as we swayed around the room. “So, how you been holding up today?” “I’ve been good. He hasn’t really been going crazy unless I was hungry.” “That’s my boy.” Smiling, I leaned on his shoulder and took in his intoxicating scent as the music took over. “Malcolm?” “Yea?” “Have you ever thought about us?” “I never stopped.” Stopping, I leaned up and looked at him as his face read sincerity. “Really?” “Of course, Marley. I hated that we ended the way we did and that I even kept that secret about your dad from you. I should have been a man in that situation and kept my feelings for you out in the open.” Nodding as tears started pouring from my eyes, I hugged him. “What’s wrong, Mar?” “Just come back home. I hate being apart from you, and I know the baby hates it cause he’s always kicking and stuff, and I’m so so sorry. I should have never ended things. I love you too much to ever leave you.” I cried rambling as he held me tight. “It’s ok, Marley, breathe.” Taking some breaths, he pulled away and held my chin. “I promise to never break your trust again, ok?” Nodding, I kissed him deeply and smiled. “Imma move back in the morning. Gotta get my stuff from the old apar- Get down!!!” He yelled before hugging me and turning me around. Hearing a loud pop, I heard screams before looking up at Malcolm.

“Malcolm, baby?” “Marrrrr-” He sighed out as his eyes started closing. Seeing the blood coming from his chest, I screamed out as I held him. “No no no no no NO NOOO!!! Malcolm, baby, wake up! Don’t leave me, baby, wake up! You gotta wake up! NOOOOOO!!!! WAKE UP! CALL 911!!!!!” Holding him in my lap, I rocked him back and forth and rubbed his head as my cries never stopped...

13. Right Time, Wrong Man

Janae

"Ok, Grady High... The moment you've all been waiting for! This year's Homecoming Queen, is... Miss Marley James!!!" Cheering with the crew as Uncle Antwan escorted her down the field to receive her crown, she teared up and smiled as he kissed her cheek. "Ladies and gentleman, once again, this year's Grady High School Homecoming Queen! The game will proceed back in ten minutes, and the concession stands are booming, so get it while it's hot!" "Ugh, I hate the stupid announcements. Get the game back on already!" "It seems to me like someone is anxious to see her guy playing." "Oh, be quiet. It's just, it's my first time watching him play in a high pressure game like this. I'm nervous." "Aww, it's okay, boo. I remember watching Odell play for the first time. I was so nervous, it was insane. You'll get used to it." "Thank you, Anita Fajita." "You're welcome, girl." She laughed rubbing my shoulder as the game resumed.

"What I miss?" Summer said handing us our snacks as she walked up. "Nothing. They're just stretching." "Ooh, I get a good view of these fine asses." "Don't let Trey hear you say that." "Fuck Trey, ok. He's lucky I like football or I wouldn't even be at this game." "Sums, it's really that serious with y'all?" "I said fuck him, didn't I?" "Question is, if Janae will be fucking anything tonight?" "Shut it, Anita." "No, she does ask a good question. So, are you gonna let Kassius swipe the card after the dance?" "I don't know if I'm ready." "Do you love him?" "With all my heart." Do you trust him?" "Absolutely." "Now, the biggest question. Do you trust yourself?" "I don't know."

OB3

"Aight, boys, we got this in the bag. Just one more touchdown and we win. We can do that, right?" "RIGHT!!" "Ok, on three, I want y'all to say win. Ok? One, two, three-" "WIN!!!" Running back into our positions, we crouched down as Trey got his chants ready. "GREEN 53, GREEN 53, HUT!" Pushing the ball to him, he sprang back and spiraled it down the line to KC. Pushing opponents out of his way, he ran it all the way down to the end zone as the crowd roared with victory.

"Another touchdown for Grady for the win! Wait a minute? It looks like we have a injury on the field. Number 26, Trey Ellis seems to be down with an injury." Kneeling, we watched as the sideline medic checked Trey out, but he wasn't responding. Seeing the ambulance pull up to the gate, they set him on a stretcher as Summer, Janae, and his parents ran onto the field. "Trey? Trey, wake up. I'm sorry, ok? I didn't mean what I said yesterday. I was just in my feelings. Trey, baby, I love you, please wake up... Trey!"

Rolling him into the ambulance truck, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis got in the back as Janae held Summer and walked her off the field sobbing. Hearing the buzzer, we looked over to see the time had officially hit zero and we won the game. "Ok, guys, huddle up." Coach said as we took a knee in the locker room. "I know you guys are feeling down about what happened to Ellis out there, but you gotta keep yourselves focused for the next game. We have one more win till the playoffs, and I don't want you boys getting distracted. Beckham!" "Yeah, Coach?" "Lead us out." "Aight, guys, put your hands in." Throwing in our hands, we let our heads down. "Who are we?" "Grady." "Who are we?" "Grady!" "Who are we?!" "GRADY!" "Grady High-" "STAND UP!!!"

Kassius

Walking to the parking lot, we saw the girls huddled up, comforting Summer. Looking up, Janae saw me and ran up to me as I dropped my gear. Jumping into my arms, she broke down as I kissed her neck and consoled her. "You wanna go to the hospital?" "No. I can't see him like that." "Ok. We'll go wherever you want, babe." Nodding, she sniffled and climbed into my car as I set my stuff in the back and said bye to the others before driving off.

Pulling up to my house, we got out and headed up to my room. Putting my stuff up, I stripped down to my boxers as she took off her clothes and threw on one my t-shirts, and we cuddled up in my bed. Laying on my chest, I kissed her forehead and held her close. "Sorry about tonight." Sighing, she straddled my lap and kissed me deeply. "B-Baby girl, what are you doing?" "Shhh, just relax. Let it happen." She rushed out kissing up my neck. "Janae?" "Hmm?" "This is sexy and all, but we both know this is not what you pictured for your first time." "We're together, right?"  

"Yeah." "And the mood is right, right?" "Wrong. Baby, I know you like an open ass book and the only mood I'm getting is forced." "That bad, huh?" "Yeah, but I did appreciate them neck kisses a whole lot." Blushing, she leaned back down and kissed me sweetly as I wrapped my arms around her back. "I love you, Kassius Wills." "And I love you too, Janae Ellis."

Summer

Looking over his cuts and scrapes, I fanned my eyes trying not to cry again as he slept. My Trey had been lucky enough to survive that blow to the head, but he also blew out his knee and it doesn't look like he'll be able to play again. I just don't know how he's gonna take it. Kissing his hand, he squeezed it as he showed signs of coming to. "Oh shit. Nurse? Mrs. E?" Watching his mom and dad come in they got a nurse and she checked his vitals. "Welcome back, Mr. Ellis! You were out for a pretty long time." "Mom? Dad? S-Summer? Ah!" "I'm gonna need you to sit still, honey. You banged yourself up pretty bad." "What happened?" "Well, during the game, you took a pretty bad hit and you've been out for a few hours." "Forreal? Did we win?" "Yea-" "Oh, hell yeah! I can't wait to go to the playoffs, man! One more game."

"Trey, baby?" "What's got y'all all frowned up? I just gotta recover for the week. I'll probably miss this game, but then I'll be ready to go for the playoffs." "Trey, Trey!" "Yeah, Pops?" "There isn't gonna be a playoffs for you, son." "What do you mean? Y'all really not gone let me play over that stuff with Nuke?" "No. That's not it." "What is it then?" "You injured your knee pretty badly and you're gonna have to get surgery to repair it." "How bad?" "Sweetie, we're so sorry, but... There isn't gonna be anymore sports."

Closing his eyes as a tear fell, he leaned back in the bed and cried as I rubbed his arm. "Get off me." "What?" "Get off me, man. Why you even here? You don't love me." "Trey, yes I do. What are you saying?" "I'm saying get out. You probably just using my ass for a ticket out, but I ain't ya ticket no more, so leave." "You're making no sense right now, Trey." I said crying as he pushed me away. "Just leave, Summer. Leave like they all do." "Trey-" "LEAVE!" Sniffling, I took off my promise ring and threw it at him before running out of the hospital.

Marley

"This view is stunning!" "So are you." Blushing, I smiled as he kissed my cheek. "You looked so good tonight at the dance." "Thank you. You didn't look so bad yourself, Sam." "Well, you know." Smiling, he pulled me closer and kissed me. Sucking on my lip, I moaned as his hand slid down under my dress. "Wait, Sam." "What?" "You don't think this is a little soon?" I panted as he sucked on my neck and rubbed through the silk of my panties. "On the contrary, I think we've been moving pretty slow." "It's been a month." "Exactly. Way too slow." "You are so funny." "Who said I was playing." He said coldly as I felt something hard on my forehead.

Opening my eyes, I almost screamed when I saw a gun being pointed at me. "What's wrong, baby? You seem disturbed?" "What are you doing, Sam?" "I'm getting what's mine." "A-And what would that be?" "Oh, Marley. Marley, Marley, Marley... I see the way you bat those lashes at me. The short ass outfits that you wear just to drive me crazy. The way you tease me by saying no. You want me... We both know this." He husked in my ear making me shiver. Eyeing the lock on my door, I tried to think of an escape. "Make one move and I'll kill you where you sit. And I have no problem doing it either." "What do you want?" I whimpered. "You know what I want, and I'll take it if it comes to that. Now, strip." Crying silently, I prayed for a way out as he eyed my body menacingly.

Stumbling drunkenly onto the patio, I banged on the door. "Hellooooo... It's meee." I slurred before the door opened. "Marley, what the fuck is wrong with you?" "Hey, Nate. Nate Dogg, my Natey Pie. Ooh, pie sounds good." I said pushing him inside. "Marley, are you drunk?" "And Bingo was his name-oh!" "Oh my god, Nate, she's bleeding." Looking down, I saw the blood running down my legs and frowned. "But I'll ruin my dress." "Carmen, call 911." "Carmen's here?" "Yeah, and we're gonna get you to the hospital, ok?" "Aye aye, Cappin'!" I yelled. "Just rest right here." "Ok. Hey, Nate?" "Yeah?" "I feel woozy." "Oh shit. Stay with me, Marley, come on. Carmen, hurry the fuck up! Marley? Marle-" And then everything went black.
