another. I know the day is fast approaching that I'm going to have to tell Alexis the whole truth. Keep in mind, I don't know how I'm going to tell her that I'm a gay male that’s madly in love with he’s best friend. How do you tell your wife these truths? I can see myself walking in the house like, hey honey I’m home and by the way I love men more than I've ever loved women. Oh yeah and I've been this way since I was a child. Dammit! How? And what about Ronnie? She’d be destroyed. In my heart I feel sick because I know that it's not just my life at stake. But three other people who mean the world to me. I gotta figure it out soon because Alexis is all over me and she wants to know what's going on, she’s not giving me a chance to breathe. Lately every time I come home we’re into it. And that nosey ass friend of hers Kandi, she forever in our business, instigating and adding to the problems. She's a lonely bitch and I can't stand her. I swear I seen your following me the other day, if I find out Alexis got her following me it's going to be some real problems. She need to take her lonely ass home and find a man. Maybe she'd be happy if she had somebody, that way she could stay out of our business. That’s another thing I hate, Alexis tells Kandi all of our business. Knowing that Kandi is already negative and to make matters worse she’s never liked me…but I guess it is what it is.
Chapter 9 Ronnie’s Worried Something is wrong. My mom is hurting and I really don't understand why. My dad is a really good man, even though he’s not my real dad. I considered him my daddy because he always took care of me and my mom. But lately I've been noticing that they don't laugh and talk like they used to. My dad stays gone and my Mom stays to herself more. The house just feels crazy, maybe I'll have a talk with him when he comes home. I love him so much he’s the best thing that ever happened to our lives. When he met us, we were living in a small one-bedroom apartment and Mom could barely make ends meet. My real dad left us all alone, never to return. My mom was trying to get her business started and she wasn't making a lot of money at her regular job. Therefore we didn't have the things that we have now. We’ve got more now than we ever had and it's all because of my dad. And even though she works, he provides mostly everything. He is a good man and he takes good care of me. I'm going to text my dad and let him know just how much I love him, and ask him when he’s coming home. I’ll be honest, I miss my dad, I miss him being here like he use to. I overheard my mom talking to my Aunt Kandi and she thinks my dad might be seeing somebody else. My Aunt Kandi is something different, she talks a lot of stuff, and I know she doesn’t like my dad. But sometimes she needs to stay in her own business because I don't think my dad would be seeing anybody else. I think he’s just really busy like he told my mom. I don't know I’m 13 and I just want to go to school and have a good life with my family. But I don't want my mom to be unhappy either and I definitely don't want us to lose my dad.
Chapter 10 Ronnie & Tristan I got a call from my baby girl tonight. She wanted to know when I was coming home. She's worried about me and her mom, and I don't like that. She's my princess and I need her to be safe and happy… damn that's just what I was talking about. How am I going to ever get away from this situation? I can't leave my baby girl, but I love Jay so much and he also means the world to me. However I’m tired of putting him on the back burner of my life and at the same time Ronnie needs me more than ever. My original plan was to at least get her into college before I divorced her mother. But things are getting very hectic and I’m worried about the outcome. I am so tired of sneaking around, it’s just a matter of time before someone finds out that I’m gay. The pressure is on. This is
