2 weeks later:
Wednesday
These past 2 weeks, I been so happy. Yvonnie was released from the hospital. The project was over, which Yvonnie and I got a B on and I was happy that I was finally able to call Yvonnie my baby. Football season was over and we didn't win all state, but that's okay.
All I was focusing on at this point was graduation. It was the last quarter and graduation was exactly a month away.

It was the end of 6th hour and I was on my way to Yvonnie's locker. When I made it, she was putting some of her books in her locker.
I walked over and wrapped my arms around her, resting my chin on her shoulder. She turned around and smiled, giving me a kiss on the lips.
"Wassup?" I leaned on the locker and watched her. She put her last book in the locker and closed it. She then zipped up her book bag and swung it over her shoulder.
"Nothing. I'm kinda hungry." She said.
"Wanna get something to eat?" I asked. She nodded with a smile. I grabbed her hand and we walked out the school.
As we were walking, I seen Kalissa tonguing some guy down by someone's car. I just shook my head and chuckled. If she likes it, I love it.
"Can I drive Odell?" Yvonnie asked. My eyes kind of widen. I'm real cautious when it comes to my car.
"Pleaseeee?" She extended the word, poking out her bottom lip. I smirked and kissed them before handing her my keys.
"Yeah, but be careful. That's my baby." I got inside the passenger seat. She got in the drivers and started the car.
"I have a car too junior. I know how to drive." She chuckled and drove off. Yvonnie and I are two different drivers though. I'm like a chill, smooth driver. Now Yvonnie on the other hand, psssh. She has road rage and she drives fast.

10 minutes later we pulled into Zaxby's. I was literally scared for my life. Yvonnie drives like a fucking maniac. I held onto the car handle, breathing extra hard.
I opened one of my eyes and looked around. "Am I alive?" I opened both of my eyes and touched my body. I was fine.
Yvonnie looked at me and rolled her eyes. "You're so dramatic Odell."
"Yvonnie, baby, I love you all but I don't think you realize how fast you drive. You drive like a madman." I unbuckled my seatbelt.
"You're alive aren't you?" She raised an eyebrow. I nodded my head slowly in response. "Alright then, come on."

After Odell and I ate, it was time for me to get home. I let his scary ass drive his car to my house.
When we made it, I grabbed my book bag and turned to Odell. I gave him a quick kiss and told him I was gonna call him later. He said alright and I got out the car, walking to my doorstep.
I unlocked the door and my aunt, uncle, mom, and dad were all sitting on the couch with their heads hung low.
Did someone die?
"Uh...guys? What's going on?" I sat my book bag down by the door and walked over to them.
"Sit down Yvonnie..." My uncle said, patting the cushion next to him but I shook my head no.
"I'd rather not. What's going on? Did someone die? Is it about to baby?!" I said, about to go into panic.
My auntie looked up at me with tears in her eyes. She shook her head no, "Yvonnie please just come and sit down. It's a lot."
I squinted my eyes and slowly walked over to the couch, taking a seat.
"What's going on?" I asked them all. My aunt took a deep breath and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Yvonnie...I was only 15." She choked out. My eyebrows came together in confusion. "Maurice and I weren't ready for a baby. We weren't stable enough. We were only freshmen's in high school. Your mom and dad wanted a baby, so so bad, but she couldn't have one. So we gave you to them. It was devastating for Maurice and I, but it was the right thing to do." She handed me a birth certificate.
I read it and my eyes widen. So my aunt and uncle were really my parents and my parents were really my aunt and uncle. This explains a lot now. No wonder why they never showed me my birth certificate. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
"Are you fucking serious?!" I threw the birth certificate.
"Yvonnie! Watch your mouth!" My dad—wait fuck this he's not even my dad! Darryl said.
"Why should I?! My life is based off of lies! Why haven't y'all told me sooner?!" I shouted.
"We weren't ready to Yvonnie!" My mom, Loren said, tears cascaded down her face.
"Then the fact that instead of you taking me back, you got pregnant again! Both of you didn't want me! Y'all just wanted to hurry up and get rid of me!" I cried.
"No they didn't Yvonnie! They weren't ready! I wanted you! When I first laid eyes with you in the hospital, I knew I wanted you! I fell in love you!" My mom—who I just found out was my aunt, Selena said. She was crying too.
"I-I'm so done with this family." I threw my hands up in surrender. I grabbed my keys and walked out slamming the door behind me.
I got into my car and drove off.
