Charisma J.

I sighed as I touched the photo of me and August. Wiping a stray tear, I laid back down on rested my hand on my stomach.

Stay strong for your baby Charisma, stay strong

I was still trying to cope with August death. It was taking a toll on my mental health.

I wiped away my tears as I heard two soft knocks on my door.

"Come in"

The door opened, and here were Tiana, Kai and Eli.

"Heyy" Eli said softly.

"Hi y'all" I sat up and sniffed.

"Aww pooh" Kai sat down and hugged me.

Tiana and Eli hugged me and I started crying again.

"It's gonna be okay love" Tiana caressed my hair.

"I miss him" I hiccuped.

"We miss him too. But he's in a better place" Kai said, as her eyes glossed over.

"I don't like seeing you like this. You've barely been out the room. Get out an get some fresh air" Eli said, opening my curtains

"Do it for you and the baby" Kai said.

I looked down at my slightly pudgy belly.

"I can't stop thinking of him, and now I have to raise this child on my own" I broke down again.

I was trapped in a storm, and I was giving up on trying to get out.

"Okay, that's it, Get up" Tiana said.

I just looked at her.

"Don't make me snatch you out this bed. We're going to get fro-yo, and then you're going to your doctors appointment" Tiana crossed her arms.

"You heard her, hop on up" Eli said.

I sighed and looked down for a minute.

"Fine"

"Shit it's hot" Kai said, as we got the car.

"Finna sweat my damn hair out" Eli grumbled.

I just shook my head and smiled a little.

"Oh she smiles" Tiana teased.

"Whatever" I shook my head.

"Welcome to OrangeBerry, what can I get for you lovely people today?" The cashier asked.

"Can I get a large cup" Kai said, rubbing her stomach.

"Hungry ass" Eli muttered. She glared at him.
