I soaked in the tub wondering if I made a good decision to break up with Candice, she made feels so special & warm inside thats until she turned into this person I did not know.
Tears ran down my face as I laid back with my eyes closed trying to figure out what to do with myself, I could just end it all now by drowning in the bath tub but what would that solve.
After my bath I got out & put on some sweats & walked in the living room seeing some coke sitting on the table that I had left out this morning.
I sat on the couch & picked up the rolled dollar & sniffled a line of coke before picking some up rubbing it against my gums.
My phone started ringing & I thought it was Candice again but this time it was Maury, I haven't talk to her or the girls since everything happened.
I sighed before answering, "Hello"
"Open the door" She said & hung up, I put up my stash & cleaned the table off.
I chuckled a bit getting up off the couch & going over to the door opening it to see my cousin & her new little baby girl.
The baby was so tiny & small, "Hey Tam" Maury said walking in the door with the baby carrier.
"Hey" I said & once she was comfortable she let me hold the baby.
"Aww she is so cute" I said staring at my beautiful little niece, Maury has always been like my sister since my older sister doesn't live here & I hate arguing with her.
"So How is Jas?"
"She's good umm we broke up" She said looking down.
"Really?" I questioned
"Yeah we just couldn't agree on anything but our little princess come before anything so it's all good"
"Yeah I feel you, Maury?"
"What?" She asked glancing at me.
"I am so sorry about what happened" She genuinely smiled
"Please Tam it's coo I understand you love Candice & I should have been there for you"
"I did love her a lot but it's nothing to worry about it's all over now."
"What why?" She asked with an raised eyebrow.
"Because her crazy ass side chick came to the house & we fought, I wanted to kill that bitch"
The baby started to cry so I rocked her a bit.
"Damn, she still be cheating?"
"Yeah females call & text her all the damn time, She be thinking I am stupid."
She shook her head, "Damn Tamar what are you going to do?"
"Nothing I am good at this point, I even want to get clean"
She smiled, "Seriously, That's great"
"Yes it's time plus I don't want anything to remind me of Candice so I will probably be going to rehab soon"
"I am so proud of you"
"Thanks, for always being there me."
"You know I got your back always just don't be flipping out on me anymore I will beat your ass next time" She giggled.
I sucked my teeth, "Anyway, What's up with Mia & Tina I haven't talk to them"
"Well, Mia proposed to Kelly but she turned her down because she was still fucking her baby daddy."
I gasped, "Shut the hell up"
"No bitch I am serious, But you know Mia she bounced back quick she started fucking with Shante again."
"Damn but Shante is fine so I ain't made at her"
"And Tina decided to settle down with this Raven chick she cool but crazy as hell in a good way" She giggled
"Well I am glad all my girls found happiness" I said
"You'll find happiness just be patient." I nodded
"So what did you name this little beauty."
"Tamia Joi, After her Auntie" She smiled.
"Aww" I smiled hugging my cousin from the side, "I love you big head."
"I love you too nut"
The next few days I worked non stop trying to keep my mind off everything that has been happing in my life but I felt so bad about how things ended with Candice & I wanted to end on good terms because I really cared for her.
I nervously walked toward the door & knocked fixing my hair & Checked my breath.
The door shook then opened.
"Tamar" Candice faintly said looking high out of this world.
"Candice" I said walking in her house closing the door.
"I thought you hated me" She stumped back a bit.
"No, What is wrong with you?" I asked
"I killed myself, I didn't want to live anymore so now you can go find someone better" She said.
"What?" I stepped closer to her grabbing her waist.
"Tamar, I love you"
"I love you too" I said.
"You do?" She asked
I nodded, then she passed out, "Candice" We went down to the ground.
"Candice wake up!" I yelled.
"Baby please" I shook her.
Lord I couldn't loose Candice she meant everything to me.
