There was a knock on the door, and it was a policeman, holding my baby girl. "Miss Christina Darnell?"
Me and my boyfriend Kevin lived on our own for one reason. He got me pregnant when we were in 7th grade. When we told our parents, they kicked us out. So we were living on our own, defending for ourselves. We were boyfriend and girlfriend, but not engaged or married. But he claimed that the child wasn't his and left. Leaving me on my own. I wound up giving birth come 8th. I wanted to prove to him, that he was the father of my baby. So we both were tested and he turned out to be the father. So he watched her for the weekend, at his parents place, since they weren't home. So right now, I couldn't understand, why there was an officer at my door, well my friends door, with my daughter.
My friend was Scarlet, and her and her parents, let me live with them. Also, I was in 12th, and she…well she was about 4 years old, and doing kindergarten. "Yes, can I help you?"
"This little girl belongs to you, does she not?"
"Yes she does. Come here baby." I lifted her, and sat her on my hip. "Is something wrong officer?"
"Is there a way we can talk in private?"
"Umm sure. Scarlett, can you watch Sophia for a minute?"
"Sure. Come here Sophia!"
I handed her Sophia, and she walked upstairs. Then me and the officer walked outside.
"Do you know a Kevin Rally by any chance?"
"He's my boyfriend, why did something happen to him?"
"We found him dead. He was shot in the chest."
I dropped to my knees crying.
"I'm sorry for your loss ma'am."
I nodded. "Thank you." I went back in as he left. Molly, Scarlet's mother came up to me.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
"Kevin, the father of my baby, was killed! Now I'm all alone!"
"Aww honey, I'm so sorry. But you have me and the other two, to watch her."
"Thank you Molly." She was like a mother to me. She pulled me in for a hug, as Michael walked over.
"What's wrong?"
"Kevin was killed."
"I'm so sorry."
I nodded as I quickly wiped my eyes. Then Scarlet walked down.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." Molly took Elizabeth and we grabbed our school bags.
"I'll drop her off hun!"
"Thank you Molly!"
"No problem! Just make sure to pick her up!"
"I will!" We went to school. For yet another day. Not going to lie, 12th goes by fast. We were a week in already! First class was Biology, and I saw that guy I thought was cute. Bronze hair, pale skin, gold eyes. He was in all my classes. He was in History second, Music third, Lunch fourth, Calculus fifth, English sixth, Gym seventh and Journalism eighth. And by the end of the day he would stare at me from his car. As I would stare at him.
"Go talk to him!"
"What! I can't no way!"
"Why not?"
I blushed as it looked like his sister dragged him over. But he pulled away and went back over as I sighed. "Come on Scarlet. We have to leave anyway." I sighed again and climbed in the car, as we drove to the grade school.
I climbed out and saw Sophia. "Sophia!" She looked up.
"Mommy!" I kneeled down as she ran up to me. Then I quickly lifted her up, and we got back in the car. "Tired honey?" She nodded. "Did you have fun?"
"Yes mommy! We had nap time and everything!"
"Ooh fun!"
"I'm hungry mommy."
"Didn't you eat your lunch baby?" She nodded. "How about we go and buy you a cute little outfit, and treat you to some lunch?" She quickly nodded.
"Hey mommy?"
"Yeah baby?"
"Where's daddy?" I stiffened.
