It's been two weeks since our movie night at King's and we're back at school now, the school winter semester back in full swing.  Unfortunately, my parents are back home making my life hell. I'm meeting up with my aunt Shea today since I haven't seen her in forever. I pulled up to the Monaco's and handed the valet my key's, grateful that my father finally surprised me with a new car. This was his Christmas gift for leaving me over the break. My father always tried to make up for his and my mother's shortcomings with money. 

"Thank you" I said walking into the restaurant

I walked into the restaurant and found my aunt in our normal booth.

"Aunty!" I said smiling at here

"Hi baby" she said hugging me "I ordered your usual," she told me

"Thanks," I said as I sat down in front of her

"So how have you been?"

"Good, really good"

"Mmhhmm, baby I know that look! I had the someone the first time I made love to Testly's father" she said

Testly was my little cousin, she only 4 and she's absolutely adorable. Testly's father was my aunts first love and right now he's in county serving time on some drug charges.

"Aunty I don't look any different"

"What's his name"

"King"

"mmm" she said shaking her head "Baby I know with a name like that he doing something he shouldn't be, I've been there done that and have the child, stretch marks, and stress to go with it. Jazzy I won't tell you how to run your life because your mama and daddy do that enough, but Jazzy baby I don't want you to ruin your life like I did" she said honestly

My aunt was only 20 when she had Testly, she's 24 now. Me and my aunt have a close relationship.. kind of like sisters, I was with her for the whole process of having Testly, my uncle was locked up before Testly was born and I knew aunty Shea needed me.

"Shea you didn't ruin your life with Testly"

"I know I didn't, I ruined my life with her daddy.... Believe it or not I still love him, so I know what your feeling with King.... But Jazzy you deserve a fairy tale" she said holding onto my hand "And the life that I know King lives... it won't give you a fairy tale that you deserve.... Don't try telling me he don't live the life I think, your just like me" Shea said honestly

"Aunty Shea I love king and he loves me, I can get my fairy tale... I will get my fairy tale with him"

"Who are you tellin, I know you love him with the look on your face but Jazzy you may think you can get a fairy tale with him but let me tell you how it will go. One day you'll be sitting on your couch barefoot and Pregnant..... You'll think how in love you are, and then you'll hear a knock on your door... you'll get up, go downstairs to answer but before your swollen feet could carry you there, your front doors busted in and Swat is in your living room asking for your man and handing you a warrant to search the house you spent months putting together, they'll destroy it trying to find evidence to lock him away, they'll find it and he'll go to jail. That leaves you, pregnant, and alone." She said honestly

I thought about what she said for a while but that won't be my reality. Me and king will be happy together... We can do this right, he wouldn't sell drugs forever, would he?

"Aunty I won't let that be me, that was your story with Uncle Terry" I mummbled

"But baby it's already happening to you"

"What are you talking about," I asked, eyebrows knitting togther

"Did you use a condom?" she asked sadly
