New Beginnings

Chapter 55

Two months. That's how fast time just flew by. Ava was now 7 and a half months. I thought she was bad before but no, I was wrong. She was even worse now that her stomach was bigger. It was always:

"My back hurts!"

"My feet are swollen!"

"Im hungry!"

"My head hurts!"

And more. But I mean, I helped make the baby so I have to help her.

"Im going to go get some food", Ava called out while grabbing the keys off the counter.

I sighed,"You gone spend up all our money. You know we don't work."

"Yeah.. So how do we have money anyways", she chuckled. "Since we both don't work... Where are you getting it from?"

"Don't worry about it", I said shaking my head. I never EVER talked about how I made my money. I felt bad doing it.

"Okay then. I'll see you later", she smiled,"I love you."

"I love you too." And she left. These are the only times that I could make my money. I took out my cellphone and went through my contacts stopping at a certain person.

Ben, in other words, Ava's dad.(Im not sure what I called him before but his name is Ben now lol)

Why am I calling him? Well, this is how I make our money. Before we moved, Ben got in contact with me but I couldn't tell Ava. He knew about our problems with wanting to move so he helped. Since he sells, he never stopped, he gave me the money we needed. But there was one condition. Ben said that after we moved, he couldn't sell anymore for me and said I'd have to do it myself but he'd supply for me. So anytime Ava wasn't home, I had Ben drop of the drugs so I could sell them.

I know that selling drugs is dangerous and that I should just get a job... But it's already so addicting. I make so much more then i would make working. I can't stop now. I also wasn't going to tell Ava what I did because she'd leave me for sure and I wasn't going to let that happen.

About 15 minutes later, Ben showed up with a medium sized box. "Here. This is enough to last you a month. Do you have the money?", he said getting straight to business.

"Yeah.. It's right over here", I said taking the box from him. I set it on the couch and walked over to the TV. I reached under it and grabbed $2,000 cash. I handed him the money and gave a small smile. "Thanks man. I appreciate it."

I was thankful that I was getting this stuff from him. Since Im now taking care of Ava, he doesn't make me pay so much for the drugs he gives me. He already has a lot of money because he sells too.

"You need to make sure you're safe with this, Chres. I don't want anything happening to my daughter or my grandson, understood?"

I nodded,"No problem. I won't let anything happen to them."

After that, he left and I hid the box under the bed. When I was about to leave, Ava opened the door with a bunch of bags in her hands.

"Woah! What did you get?", I gasped grabbing half of the bags and setting them down in the kitchen. As I was taking all the stuff out I started laughing.

"What?", Ava asked.

"It looks like you bought the whole junk aisle in the store. I don't see how you managed to bring all this up here."

"Im sorry. Never let me go to the store while Im pregnant again", she softly laughed.

After putting all the stuff away, I joined her in the bed.
