Time to move on...

~Chapter 12

Shawn was moving away soon and I really was going to miss him. I was at home in the middle of the day, playing with Sky, when I heard someone knocked on the door. I walked to the door, opening it. I saw Shawn standing with flowers in his hand. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Come here", he said grabbing me by the waist, pulling me close to him. He kissed me long and hard then handed me the flowers. "Shawn?! Are you leaving right now?" I asked, tearing up. He grabbed my face and kissed me again. He didn't say anything, he just walked away. I grabbed his arm and pulled him close and started crying. He let go of me and wiped my tears. "I love you", he said to me. My face changed from sadness to surprised but still sadness. Did he just say he loved me? I couldn't say anything at all. I was speechless. He kissed me one more time and left. Shawn was gone. I know wasn't going to see him again. I walked back in the house and cried my eyes out. I put the baby in the crib and went to my room. I heard Amira coming in the house laughing. I went to see what it was. She was kissing some guy. I walked up to her and told her to take care of her child and told the guy to leave. I didn't have to time for her getting knocked up again. I didn't care about nobody feelings cause mine was hurt. I couldn't think without Shawn by my side. I was giving up on life. I laid in bed and looked up at the ceiling. I heard mama come in late and she took a shower. I walked out to get some water and I seen clothes on the stairs. I walked to mama room and heard funny noises. I peeped inside and saw some dude kissing mama. It was Mr. Scott!! I ran and went into Amira room told her what I saw and she went to go see for herself. She came back with a shocked looked on her face. "What is he doing out of jail?" she asked me. "I don't know", I said confused. Why was he out of jail anyway? I didn't know what to do. Amira and I stayed up all night talking about Mr. Scott. Mama walked in the room and we jumped up. She looked at us in confusion. "Why y'all still up?" she asked. We didn't say anything at all. I walked passed mama and she grabbed my arm. "I asked you why y'all still up??" she said looking at me like she was drinking. I snatched back my arm and walked away. How dare she bring this man in our house and think she runs shit. I know that's my mother but she not my mother with that man in our house.
