As Real As It Gets ✔️

58: Before It's Too Late

Alia

*One month later*

Six months and at home with Daddy and the girls, I am still upset about what happened last month but I guess I was going to get over it. Me and Cory never spoke a word towards each other, he didn’t call me and I didn’t call him, every time I was so close to calling him I would end up smashing the end button, my heart just wasn’t in it to communicate with him just yet. I shouldn’t even be the one talking to him about what happened because he started it, he should be the one at my dad’s door apologizing to me.

This whole month, I spent in my room just reading and reading, I guess that’s what kept me sane. I was reading about Legacy, he was so much like Cory but what made him determined was the fact that he was going to change for his business.

“Knock knock.” I looked up to see Amy standing at the doorframe smiling shyly at me and I sighed looking back down at my laptop reading, “You can’t be stuck in your room all night, it’s not good for the baby.” She walked over to the edge of my bed and looked at me.

“You ever just sat and realized that you made a bad mistake?” I asked and she looked at me and shook her head.

“You don’t make bad mistakes honey.”

“How is that?”

“Well I’ve never made a bad mistake because mistakes are just part of getting to success. What you think Success is?”

“Success is you rising to the top.” She shook her head no.

“Success actually consists of ups and downs and curves but it’s your decisions to go through all these problems.” She explained, “Right now, I know you’re full of pregnant emotions and relationship emotions but let me tell you this? Do you love that baby?”

I nodded my head.

“Does Cory love that baby?”

“Yes.”

“So why pout when you have a family. Cory is going through a lot right now, he can run from his problems all he want but when that baby comes he will come back you know that?”

“I love you and most definitely your father and sister loves you. You have family that has your back no matter what okay hone?”

I smiled and got from under my covers giving her a big hug and smiled, “Thanks Amy, I appreciate it.”

“No problem honey.” She smiled and walked out of the door.

I looked down at my phone and sighed, I still needed more time to myself time to think and talk to myself.

I finally had the mind and grabbed my purse and keys and walked out the door to my car and drove to the cemetery. I needed to talk to my mom; I needed to just talk to her about all the things that I have been going through.

Cory

As soon as I got off the plane I went straight to the cemetery, I had a lot on my mind and the only person that I wanted to speak to was six feet under but that wasn’t going to stop me.

I took a taxi to the cemetery and just walked to his tombstone and kneeled down already having tears welled into my eyes.

“Man,” I sighed slowly with my voice breaking, “I can’t even sit here and be a man talking to you, shit still hurts man.” I stroked his tombstone and started crying, “Can’t even think about you under here but I’m still going to talk. I should have listened man, I should have listened to you and just made me and her a long distance thing but I didn’t and a child came out of it.”

“Told you.” My eyes shot opened and I looked behind me to see Alex standing there dressed in regular street clothes with his hands in his pockets shaking his head.

I stood up literally looking at him just shocked like I never seen him before. It’s literally been months since I have seen him looking at me, smiling.

“Please tell me I’m dreaming.” I said and he shrugged his shoulders.

“You are, you know the man up there gave me permission to talk to you since I’m your guardian angel and all.” I smiled.

“For real man?” I said excitedly and he laughed.

“Yeah man, I seen what’s been going on and I do want to say that I am sorry for not even saying that we were related, its just something that I wasn’t supposed to do. Dad loves you he really does and I am upset that he didn’t tell you anything. Ever since I died, you just had this chip on your shoulder you lost a scholarship and now you are being mean to everybody even the woman who is carrying your child. Cory you are not like this at all, every time I look at her she’s so in love with you and she wants you to achieve your dream but you acting like your past messed up your whole future. As for dad talk to him without punching him in his face okay?” he explained and I looked at him and sighed.

As much as I didn’t want to talk to him I had to.

“Alright I’m going to change.” I sighed.

“If you don’t then you going to miss one of the best days of your life especially if you don’t talk to them.” He said and I looked at him and closed my eyes then opened to see no one standing there, I even looked around the cemetery trying to really think about if I was talking to myself. 

I looked at his tombstone again and kneeled down kissing it.

I guess I had to go talk to Shamar when I get back home.
