Deep Secrets

Chapter 15 : ' Getting Through '

Monica

Damn, I hope Shatavia was okay.. considering what was going on. Her mom was hurt, hell mine would be to all the stuff we had going on.

I sat on my bed, considering the fact we didn't have school today. I got up and walked downstairs and saw my mom standing at the kitchen island.

"Morning" I said walking to the refrigerator. "Good morning" she said as she was wiping her face.

She had some papers in her hand, but I couldn't really identify what they were "Whats that?" I asked anxiously. "Um.. divorce papers" she said.

"The attorney, should call me and let me know when my court date is" she said..

"Its okay mom, everything's going to be okay" I said walking upstairs "I know" she said.

I walked to my room and laid down, so much was happening so fast I couldn't keep up.

I just hoped everything would workout now that our family is separated..

Who's going to explain to Lele that mom and dad are divorced.. She probably wont understand right now.

But, it'll sink in sooner or later..

Shatavia

I went to the doctor early this morning to get my medications. I kind of felt good.

I walked in the house and went to my room. I was fixing to dial Raheem, but remembering the incident we had I ain't wanna rub shit in.

So, I called Monica.

Monica: "Hello?"

Me: "Whats up girl"

Monica: "Nothing much, whatchu doin?"

Me: "Girl nothing, just left from the doctor to get my medications"

Monica: "Everything alright?"

Me: I knew she was referring to the incident of me and my mom "Kinda sort of, she still hasn't said a word to me"

Monica: "She will, just give her time.. but hey i gotta go OK? love ya"

Me: "Ok, thanks love ya to."

I threw the phone on the bed and sat down. I did a hard glare at the floor till I got up and went downstairs.

I kneeled down infront of my mom, and made sure I got her undivided attention. "Mom, look! Someway and somehow you have to forget and forgive. I know I done made a huge omission, but God says "

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another." which is what I'm trying to do. I know what I did was imprecise but please forgive me ma, that's all I ask."

I sat there for a few minutes waiting for some type of answer. But, all I got was a teardrop. I slowly got up and went back to my room.

I felt a slight weight off my shoulders. I knew what I did was right. I just have to have perseverance and I know she'll come around.

Raheem

I sat there, as I felt real fucked up and bad about what I did. I now have a baby on the way and shid to be real I was a little excited, NOT A LOT but a little.

I now have to own up to my responsibilities, cause I know raising a baby ain't no joke. And, I'm gone have to be a man about this shit.

I sat on the couch in thought, as I was thinking about how I'm fixing to get shit right with Shatavia. I ain't wanna start no relationship with her ass I just wanted to be there for the baby when it came. I couldn't think of nothing but I thought if I asked Monica, what can I do to make shit better with us she could probably help.
