In This Game ...
(Part I)
I went on stage and I felt like diamond again . No worries just a girl trying to make money. Once I got done the crowd went wild , once I got off the stage I went to the go talk to Peanut at the bar .
" aye bro ain't that tahiry over there "? said cam
" bro go get her up out this bitch" said Q
" hold up " said Giovanni
I got up and went over to the bar and grab tahiry " what the fuck is you doing here "
first we not no together and I'm no longer your concern second I gotta make money I got bills to pay !!!!
"You don't have to do this tahiry; you better than this"
Better than what G I can't always follow my dreams if I don't have the money !!!!
" it's not always about money ; you were the ex-girlfriend of the nigga that own hella nights clubs and corporate businesses and you in a strip club making money that you own that looks wired"
I don't own it we signed the wrong signatures, you own the strip club not me yeah you didn't know that did you so it's still Its your club . Listen we not together and i should be less of your concern
" tahiry please leave this strip club you better and bigger than this I'm not talking to you as your ex , I'm talking to you as the man that listen to your dreams watch smile why doing them and has seen your work as well shorty this club ain't on the level you on just leave please ."
"T your on lap dances for the rest of the night and there 20 dollars !!! " said De'Andre
I gotta go ......
" ta-, man I fucked up!!!!!"
" come on bro we out" cam said
I finished getting dress for table dances and on my way out Peanut stopped me and told me go back in the changing room .
"Tah are you serious!!!!"
What I do ......
"Giovanni obviously he still cares about you and your going to hate me when I say this but he's right !!! Tahiry you got dreams baby girl and its not here , you can draw and you gotta good eye and if you ask me you in the wrong place and you need to leave this club and never come back"
I change my clothes and I left the club for good peanut is right and Giovanni was too even though I don't care about him . But my dreams aren't in this club and there's no way I need to be in there . But I got bigger things to worry about right now my doctors appointment is tomorrow and I'm nervous to found out if I'm pregnant or not .
Giovanni
After I left the club I went to drop cam and Q off and headed back home so I can get Ava . I heading home and all I can think about is tahiry, and can't believe she'll start stripper again and that's not her man and that shit hurts to see her in there but I can't make her decision only she can . I pulled up and walked in the house and I heard Ava crying
Lisa what's wrong with her ?
"I don't know she keep crying and I'm sleepy call your mom !!!!"
I called my moms phone and it went straight to voicemail " Aye I can't get Ava to stop crying tell me what I gotta do Ight ma call me back ."
I went upstairs to put her some pajamas on so we can go I went back downstairs and seen three bottles in the refrigerator I grab them and put them in her diaper bag I put her in her car seat and I went outside to put her in the car I strapped her in and I got in the car and she was still crying .
25 minutes later
I pulled up to pure and seen it was close so I know they in here cleaning up I opened the door and I seen Cocoa at the bar
where is Diavian?
" she upstairs going over number"
Ight you done cleaning
" yeah I was just about to leave"
nah come up here real fast I need y'all help .
Me and Cocoa walked upstairs and I opened the door and Diavian was surprise to see me .
D I need y'all help can y'all stop my daughter from crying
" daughter?" said Diavian
Cocoa grab the car seat and put it on the chair and took Ava out the car seat and Ava stop crying ; how did you do that ?
" first she's hot so when babies hot they get upset and she's also wet and she mad so your daughter doesn't like being wet "
" so this is why you broke up with T"
Yeah .... I didn't want tahiry to go through this with me so I broke up with her so she wouldn't be hurt .
" Giovanni my sister is still hurt ,she left a healthy relationship and doesn't know why If you loved her like you say you do you would of told her . "
Don't you think I wanted to !!!!!! A nigga can't eat I can't sleep I can't function just about a hour go I seen tahiry at the strip club and she wasn't there as a customer...... i love tahiry with everything in me I'll give her the world and including me .... Diavian I loved tahiry and still do . It's hard not coming home knowing that the love of my life ain't there . That shit hard bro , if I would of told her that I gotta baby she would of thought I cheated on her when I didn't.
"Who is the mother ?"
Giselle Porter. ....
" the one that just got murder?" said cocoa
Yeah ; so I had no choice but to get her and D promise not to tell Tahiry.
" your secret is safe with me, but why didn't you come to me about me it "
" Diavian don't forget you still is the sister so it's was goin be wried as fuck to tell you that " said cocoa
Thank you and Shanice already knew as well !!!!!
" Giovanni she's beautiful and I think your a great father you just gotta be patient. " said cocoa
Thanks co ...
"You welcome well she sleep and if she wakes up her bottles is on the side of her and y'all I'm finna leave so I'll caught up with y'all later "
" ok bye Cocoa "
" Ight bye co..."
Next Morning....
I noticed that Ava doesn't like to sleep in her bed so she sleeps with me . it's crazy how she looks just like me that's shit scary , Giselle hated my ass . I got up and put her in her swing well I took a shower once I got out and put on some jogging pants and gave Ava a bath and I put a onesies on her because we we're staying in today.
I put her in her swing and heard somebody at the door I went to look on my phone who it was and it was my unk .
" nephew" !!!!!
Wassup unk ......
" you busy nephew?"
Nah come in unk .
"Oh shit Giovanni that girl hated you !!!! "
Tell me about it unk she look exactly like me .
"So feel me in what the hell going on , one minute you playboy then you somebody man now you a daddy !!!!"
I fucked up unk I met Giselle when I was in the streets heavy but she ended up moving to LA . Then once I got outta jail I seen her again out my club in LA then next thing I know we fucking here and there then she get pregnant I get a blood test and go see the baby then the results came a few weeks later and she came out as mines then few weeks later Giselle got murder .
" so I see you told tahiry...... she left yo ass"
Nah I told her is just best we be friends....
" wait so she don't know you got a baby .?"
No , I couldn't tell her .....
" Gino I taught you better than that ; face the music nigga !!!! You loved that girl and you couldn't explain this one little detail"
I just didn't wanna hurt her .
" but you did anyway ; listen son you goin come across her again and she goin be over you and it's a wrap after that I told you before love is deep sex is just few inches love is determining and sex is controlling, you figure which one you wanna do for the rest of your life ."
Tahiry
I woke this morning, and I couldn't stop thinking about Giovanni. People say I should just move on but they just don't understand we were one and he loved me just as much as I loved him . I got up this morning hoped in the shower so I can go to my doctors appointment . Once I got out the shower I got dress and left my house I was so nervous driving to the doctor office I felt like I was a little kid or something.
When I got there I got out my car and head inside of the doctors office I took and breathe and went inside. I went to the sign in desk and signed in my name , a few minutes later the nurse called my name and the next thing I going in the back .
" hey tahiry I'm doctor Coleman , tell why your here today?"
Hi Doctor Coleman , and I'm here because I think I'm pregnant.
" ok we can see if that's accurate. Ok what your going to do is pee on this cup and I'll do the rest okay ."
I went into the bathroom and I peeped in the cup I sat in the bathroom and just trying to cope everything all in .
I walk out the bathroom and I gave her the cup I walked back into the room .
15 minutes later
"Ms. Robinson you are pregnant your almost 6 weeks ... but I do have to go over some procedure that I have to bring up because you don't seem happy . As women we all seem unsure about caring children it's dangerous and for some women !!!! but you have a lot of options."
I'm not even with the father and I'm not even in the right mind to even raise a child .
"Okay as a women and a doctor I do understand.... you can have they baby and give it up for adoption or you can get an abortion as well but Tahiry it's all up to you ."
How long do I have ?
" you have about a few weeks to figure out what you want to do just call this number and ask for the my extinction and will go from there."
2 weeks later
Hey Ms Coleman.....
"Yes Tahiry "?
I wanna go through with the procedure......
"'Ok are you sure"
Yes ...
"Okay Tahiry you take care of yourself alright, and you have a great day."
ok , and you to ...
When I laid down and had sex with Giovanni I thought about our future and how things would end up , he's the first and only person I ever had sex with and now where not even together and I'm pregnant with his child .
Me and Giovanni didn't leave on a good note so I'm not even comfortable telling him I'm pregnant. I didn't want anyone to know about this abortion so I decided to go by myself . When I got to the clinic i was so numb about the situation, I had to sign a lot of paperwork before i go through the procedure. When I got done they gave me the stuff I had to put on for the procedure and the bag for my regular clothes . Before the procedure started my abortion provider medicated me for the procedure to go through painless and smooth. It honestly felt wried and wrong ; felt like they were sucking my life a way . & all I could do was cry .
After the procedure my doctor told me I have to have someone drive me home because I wouldn't be able to drive I called my sister Shanice , Shanice was a year older than me , she had her boyfriend drop her off at the clinic center ; I was bleeding like crazy but I'm glad I had black on . When I got done changing my clothes I was starting to be in so much pain , I walked out the bathroom and I seen Shanice coming towards me . She grab my hand and help me outside and in the car , " you want me to stay with you until you heal" Shanice said I just shook my head yeah .
My emotions where everywhere; Shanice got to the house and help me out the car . We got upstairs and I sat on one of my couches and Shanice sat next me and I put my head on her lap and I started crying she started rubbing my back telling me everything was going to be okay . She kissed me on my forehead .
" T you really loved him "
Yes I really did , I don't even know why were not together. Everything is just falling apart Shanice and I don't know what to do .
" T everything is going to be okay your going to get through this no matter what "
Shai promise you won't tell nobody
" I promise"
Diavian

Giovanni put his shoes on and they hoped back in the car and headed to the hospital.

Riding to the hospital I couldn't stop shaking I was thinking about everything at one and suddenly a lot of What ifs came to mind . We got to the hospital I jumped out the car and went inside the hospital I walked in and I seen everybody waiting on the doctor .
What the fuck happen. !!!!!!
" Me , India and Tahiry was smoking in the car and a big black truck came outta nowhere and hit tahiry..... and next thing I know we following the car and India shot who ever was in the back"
"You guys have to use your inside voices please" said the nurse
Tahiry parents arrived to the hospital and the came in the waiting room ...

I should of been there Larenz !!! If I was there they wouldn't of got to her .
" don't blame yourself son , like I said my daughter strong she goin pull through."
Me and Larenz went back inside of the hospital and seen the doctor coming out of the double doors " how he's she doctor "
"she's is in a coma , but it was a lot of blood taking out of her." the doctor said .
Her mom and her dad went to the her room to go see her while I gave them this hit to make . Go find Charmaine and when y'all do call me because I personally wanna kill that bitch . And be safe I love all y'all forreal.
Q and I stayed back until tahiry's mom came to get me . A few minutes later her mom came out to get me and Q and we followed her to the room . We all were in the room and I never seen tahiry in no hospital bed . In no bandages and hooked up to you wires , the doctor came in the room to talk to her mother .
" Mrs. Robinson has your daughter been in a relationship in the last three months ."
Yes I'm her ex boyfriend.
" I need to speak with you too for a moment."
Me and Ms. Natalie went outside the room to see what was going on .
" doc what's going on ?" Said Natalie
" during your daughters surgery I noticed that she had recently had tissue tooling out of her uterus"
" what are you saying... "
"She recently was pregnant and she had to have a abortion no more than a week ago and that is what cause her to go into a coma because she wasn't properly heal yet and she could go in cardiac arrest .
1 hour Later
I kissed tahiry on her forehead " I love you forever shorty" hearing the doctor say tahiry night not making it and that she was pregnant I realized life is to short and you have to make sure things are leveled with the people you love so I made a phone to someone that's i will eventually love .
