Two weeks later.

Courtney😫

I was now at Ta'mia's funeral..

I wasn't crying though, I was so numb.

Keyon stared at me on the other side of the grave.

I just sat there looking at the grave, I had no emotion.

I was in shock so bad.

I looked at Keyon's little sister, Lyrica.

I can tell she was going to be depressed for a long time.

About an hour later, the funeral ends and my mom drives me and my brother home.

I go upstairs and lay down.

My family comes in my room trying to support me but I tell them to get out.

They leave.

Courtney's mom


I knew Courtney was extremely sad.

There was nothing I could do to change that.

I loved my baby so much, I hated to see her hurt.

I do what I thought was best, I decided to invite Keyon.

I called him over and he said he would be over in a few.

After a few minutes he was here. I opened the door.

"Hey Keyon!" I said as I hugged him.

"Hey Ma. Where Court at?" He asked hugging me back.

"Upstairs, in ha room." I say following him upstairs.

"Courtney!!" I say softly.

There was no response.

I open the door.

"Keyon's here" I said.

She sits up so fast.

"Why is he here, he da one who caused all of this!!! HIM OUT OF ALL PEOPLE?! YOU INVITE HIM?!" She yelled.

I didn't know what to say, I just allowed Keyon in.

I closed the door, and slowly walk downstairs to leave them be.

Courtney🥺

I just wanted to be left alone, but of course my mother just had to ruin that.

Keyon looked at me.

"I'm sorry- he said being cut off by me.

"Don't even finish that sentence, it's bull shi, you wanted this to happen, EVERY FUCKIN TIME YOU COME AROUND SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I CAN'T WITH YOU!" I yell in emotional pain.

He hugs me. "Baby, I know you hurt but you have to realize that. I ain neva gon leave you alone, you ma baby girl, i love you too goddamn much too leave you, especially when you like dis. I hate seein you sad, yes, I caused dis but it won't happen again."

I sobbed in his arms.

"She was so amazing b-bro you wouldn't even understand. WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!" I yelled in his arms.

"Calm down, its going to be okay. I'm sorry this is all ma fault baby, please.." Keyon said.

I haven't heard him like dis..he seemed like he actually cared and he wasn't jus playin games.

"I'm sorry, Keyon. But it s-she was jus my really close fran and I've been losin people I care about da most, who it gon be next, MY MOM?! MY BROTHA?" I yelled crying.

"Neva, i ain gon let no one lay a hand on dem. Dey ma family to." Keyon said truthfully.

I stopped crying.

I laid in his arms

He held me as I started crying again.

I cried myself to sleep in his arms.

The next morning he was gone.

I got up.

I prayed.

I went downstairs to my mom, cooking.

I hugged her and didn't let go.

"I love you so much, mommy." I say in her arms.

"I love you too, mija." She says kissing my forehead.

"Everything is going to be fine, she is in a better place. You can't just stay depressed, she is in a better place surrounded by angels." She said.

I wiped away my tears. "You're right, I shouldn't be so depressed since she is in a better place."

My mom smiled.

I went back upstairs.

I got dressed and walked to Keyon's house.

He opened the door and I rammed into his arms with happiness.

"Thank you baby. Fo bein there fo me." I said in his arms.

"You know I always will be there fo you" He kissed me.

"I can't wait to find out my baby's gender" I rubbed my belly.

"Pfff you mean ma baby?" Keyon said kissin ma belly.

"No I meant what I said." I laughed.

"Yeah Igh mamas." Keyon chuckled.

I'm glad to be happy again.
