Deep Down in My heart I felt like it was the Right thing to do , It wasnt Healthy For me to Hold on to those I'll Feelings it was literally sucking the life out of me . I wanted to Really Put my best Foot forward with moving on with cam and I really Like his parents and I just Figured for the Situation that Went Down Justice was Definitely served , whats tha saying and Eye For an Eye Pun Intended . Im laying on the Couch when I hear Tiara Loud Mouth ass walk in the Door screaming .

She gets the Dude Que Number out of Ants Phone and Walks out the Room and We Head to the mall to Find Tiara something to wear to the Dinner Party , Although I didnt agree with What she was doing , I didnt say anything cause she was right Im Just as bad Off as she Is , all I know is when Ant see's Que face , he's going to Kill her . After Shopping For about 3 hours I still didnt feel any better , We headed back to the Room to chill before the Dinner Party started . Im Laying In bed and Decide to Text Cam and Remind him about the party and to wear Dress Clothes Not jeans .

Text to Cameron: Dont Forget Party at 9 tonight , Dont Wear thos Ugly Ripped Pants .

Text From Cameron: Where You At

Text To Cameron: Home

Text From Cameron: Im About to Stop By , We need to Talk

I Instantly knew something was up , He Must Know what I did . I Paced around my room Nervous ass F***k , I just knew he was about to Rip me a Knew a***e . I stared at myself in the mirror talking my way threw this . I decided to stand my ground , I wasnt going to Back down because it was something He didnt agree with , I was doing this for me and Nobody else . About 10 minutes later I hear the Door bell ring and Ant Opened the Door for him , I could hear him walking towards my room , The door Opened and My heart race Increased .

Kendrick: Hey

Cameron: .........

Kendrick: Whats Wrong ?

Cameron: You tell me whats Wrong

Kendrick: Nothing Wrong with me , you the one with the Stank face .

Cameron: You wanna Explain to me why my mother left a check at the Post Office for Me in Your Name For 40,000 Dollars

Kendrick: Ummm , I .......

Cameron: Dont tell me you Dropped the Charges

Kendrick: ............

Cameron: Why Would you Do somethings SO STUPID !

Kendrick: If You let me Explain

Cameron: Explain What !

Kendrick: Why I Dropped the Charges .

Cameron: You Dropped the charges , Cause Your So Naive and Easy to Manipulate .

Kendrick: What the F***k are you talking about

Cameron: She Fooled You , they Tricked you Stupid , their Sole Purpose was to Get those Charges Dropped and The Did that

Kendrick: How was I suppose to Know that ?

Cameron: I tried to Tell you But You never Listen ! You always think you Know Everything , Sometimes you need to Shut Up And Listen .

Kendrick: YOU NEVER LISTEN CAMERON , WHENEVER SOMETHING ISNT GOING YOUR WAY YOU YELL AND GET UPSET AND LASH OUT .

Cameron: YOU DONT LISTEN TO ME !

Kendrick: BECAUSE ALL YOU DO IS YELL , I DONT NEED ANOTHER FATHER THANK YOU !

Cameron: You Know What Im Gone

Kendrick: BYE !

Cameron: Im Guessing you want this * throws the Check on the bed *

he turns around and storms out the door and slams it , I lay on the Bed Pissed to the Max , I hated that He always thought he was right , that I had to do what he said his way , cause it was his way of protecting me , protecting me from what ? Sometimes his Overbearing ways could get annoying , he wasnt trying to hear me out for anything in the world he just expected me to agree with him shake my head , shut up and look pretty , he was really on some 60's housewife s***t and I wasnt Feeling it . Shortly after Tiara and Ant walked in and sat on the Bed Next to me .

Ant: You good ?

Kendrick: No , Im Pissed Off

Tiara: What Happened ?

Kendrick: He Came in here , calling me all kinds of stupid , naive , and Every word in between . Just Because I didnt Do what He wanted me to do .

Ant: That was Heated , Maybe you should Just let him cool Off and then try to Talk to him , and let him Know where you coming from

Kendrick: F***k him Right , Now F***k everything that Party , that Check

Tiara: What Check *picks the check up * DAMN 40,000 Dollars

Ant: Let me see *snatches the Check* Can I have it Then

Kendrick: No Offense Yall , but Im not in the Mood for Jokes , I just want to be alone right now

Tiara: Ok B***h we Will give yo Rich ass some space .

Ant: ima take the check with me tho , just in case you get mad and rip it up

Kendrick: Lol Can yall just go , I need to think to myself for a Moment .

The Leave and I turn the light off and lay there in the dark . It Just seems like Every time I have the tiniest bit of happiness the universe Comes along and snatches it away .
