Trying to Make it by JP (motivational books for women TXT) 📕

then went and fixed my bathroom up with the shit I bought. I got a shower candy for myself when I take showers, I can out my washcloth and soap and stuff on there instead of on the side of the tub or anywhere else. I went back into my bedroom and organized the whole thing and as I was picking up shoes, I saw a little fury thing run across the closet.
“Aaahhhh!” I screamed running to my bed. The thing left the closet and then my room. I was shaking so bad, I called Damion and his phone went straight to Voicemail. I kept calling and it did the same thing. This time I left a voicemail and I saw the little fury thing again.
“Aaahah!” I screamed dropping the phone. “Oh my gosh, I cant be in here” I said to myself “Where is my clothes and my eys at?” I yelled looking around the room. I put my pants and shoes on the floor cloesest to the closet. “Fuck!” I screamed and looked inside my drawer and found a pair of sweatpants and socks. I was shaking so bad that I started to cry. “Ohh m-m-my gosh” I said crying out. I slipped my sweat pants on and put my sneakers on. I ran out of the bedroom after grabbing my cellphone and then darted out of the house. Luckily, I had an extra key inside my car. It was so cold outside and I was trying to break into my car.
“Hey ma, need help?” Some sexy ass light skinned dude asked.
“Yeah, can you please open my car for me, I locked my keys inside”
“Aiight, hold up, let me go get my tools” He winked and ran across the street. That guy was sexy. He had grey eyes; he was at least 6ft 2, with curly hair that was cut low. His swag was on point considering the fact that it was cold outside. He had on his brown polo boots, a pair of true religions jeans, a red Hollister sweater and his bling was like woah, a chain hug from his neck that was a diamond incrusted cross. And he had a Rolex on his wrist. In a matter of minutes, he came back and helped me open my car door.
“Thank you very much”
“Aye, no problem, but uhm can I ask you a question?”
“Sure, ask away”
“I was wondering if you had a man?” I chuckled
“Actually, I do and I don’t know where his ass is at right now cause I’m going through a crisis”
“Anything I can help you with?”
“Maybe, actually, I have a mouse in my apartment, can you please get it out for me?”
“You need traps ma”
“Yeah I know but im scared to sleep in my room knowing theirs a mouse inside”
“Aiight, come on” He took my hand and I shut my car door, double locking it. “Wheres your room at?”
“First door on the right” I said pointing from the livingroom.
“Where did you see it last?” He yelled from in my room.
“On the floor near my bed” I yelled back and I went inside the kitchen to get something the drink. When I turned around, I saw the fury beast running across the floor.
“AAahhh!” I screamed jumping on the counter.
“What?” He yelled and saw the mouse run across the floor. He grabbed a broom and told me to be quiet. The mouse came out again and he swept it hard so it hit the wall. He then swept it all the way outside of my apartment and shut the door.
“Thjank you soo much” I said giving him a hug.
“No problem, you know, you could repay me with a date?”
“I don’t know, I gotta ask my boyfriend before I do anything”
“Aiight, I understand..Loyalty is your policy”
“Exactly”
“Aiight, then I aint even gonna ask you on a date, but trust me, If ol dude mess up, call me” He handed me a piece of paper with his number on it. And was about to leave.
“Wait, whats your name?”
“Everyone call me E”
“So just E?”
“Yeah, for now” He shur the door behind him and I went in my room to put some real clothes on. I was gonna put E’s number in my phone when I realized I was still on the phone with Damion. Uh-oh. I hung up, put E’s number in my contacts on an app I had and sent him a text, thanking him again.

Chapter 11

I grabbed my brand new concords and put those on my feet and grabbed my black pea coat and went back outside with my purse in hand and key in the other. AS soon as I sat in my car, I heard tires screetch and park beside me, blocking me inside of the spot. Damion looked pissed.
“Katia!” He yelled slamming the door.
“What Damion?” He pulled me by my hair and dragged me out of the car. “Ooowww, get your fucking hands off of me!” I screamed trying to hit him. He threw me into his car, locked the doors and went back into my car to grab my shit and put the lock on the door. He came back inside of his car and sped off.
“Who the fuck is E Katia?”
“Some guy that helped me when my own man was ignoring my phone calls!” I snapped and he pressed on the break fast.
“If im ignoring your calls its becaue im working, and that menas wait until I call yo fuckin ass back!” He screamed pointing his finger in my face. I snacked his finger away.
“Keep yo fingers out my face” He then smacked me hard as hell. He spede up the street again and then we hit the parkway. This felt like Déjà vu. Instead, he took me to his house, pulled me by my hair out of his car and dragged me inside. He threw me on the floor of his kitchen and started slapping and punching me. I screamed in pain and I tried fighting back but it was no point. I wasn’t as strong as I thought I was. Yeah my punched did hurt but It seemed like he wsant giving up.
“Help!” I sceamed for the hundredth time and this time someone actually helped me.
“Damion!” I heard a female’s voice. He kicked my in my stomach and I groaned and rolled over to my side. “Oh my gosh, Damion what the fuck did you do!” The girl screamed at him and I guess he left. “Are you alright?” That ws the last thing I heard befor ei blacked out.

When I woke up, I saw the nurses standing over me checking my IV’s and taking notes. I tried to sit up but it hurt. The nurse told me to stay in the position I was in and soon, the doctor came in. This time it was the woman that hired me, Dr. Lauran.
“Hey Katia, don’t say anything, it might hurt. I have good news and bad news. The good news is, well if you didn’t know, you are pregnant” My eyes were widened. “I guess you didn’t know, well you are three months pregnant, now heres the bad news. No more drinking. The baby is okay as far as we know, The female that bought you in told us you were kicked in your stomacha dn beaten terribly. She said her brother did it and she wants to come in too speak with you, but first, blink once if you want us to tell her your pregnant” I blinked of course I wanted her to know. “Okay, well were going to get you something to drink so you can talk, you have been asleep for three days and the only way weve been able to feed you was these tubes the nurse is going to take out of your throat now” The doctor nodded at the nurse and she instructed me to open wide and not to squeeze my thoat muscle. I did that and the uncomfortable tube was out of my throat. Then a woman came in with water and I drank it like it was my last. The girl came into the room with a worried expression on her face.

“I am so sorry” She said looking at me.
“It’s fine” I swallowed more water.
“So, I heard youre pregnant”
“Yup, that’s new information to me too” We laughed.
“You gonna keep him or her?”
“Of course”
“So what about my brother?”
“Damion? I don’t know, after all of this, I think imma need to be a single parent”
“But still tell him, it is his right”
“Of course it is”
“Well yeah, tell him, you never know” I chuckled.
“Yeah but will you be there wwith me, I know you don’t really know me like that but hey, this is your brother and if he tries to hurt me again, I will kill him” We laughed.
“Trust me, ill be there, especially if he tries hurting my little nice or nephew” she sat down and we talked about everything. Visiting hours were over and she had to go. I managed to give her a hug and then I laid back in the bed, and was knocked.

Chapter 12

When I was finally released from the hospital, the doctors told me that I have to make appointments for the baby. They gave me antibiotics to take and all of that and when I walked out of the hospital, Damion’s sister Rose, was there in her Mercedez. She hugged me and rubbed me belly then led me into the car.
“So, you wanna go to my brothers house first?”
“Nah, take me home, I have to take a shower” She took me to my apartment. I let her in as I put my medicine on the table near my door and ran into the bathroom. I took a nice hot shower and then went to get changed. I put on a pair of jeans I was shocked I could still fit, a white t-shirt, my burgundy Hollister hoodie and my timbs. I put my hair up in a messy bun and grabbed left. I forgot all of my shit was still with Damion and all I had was my spare key.
“Alright im ready, I need my stuff from your brother ASAP!” I yelled opening the door. I was completely pissed at this point. Hormones I know but damn, he took everything. My car keys, my house keys, I’d. License, my credit cards, my insurance cards, my job I’d, my gym membership car, all of my money I had, my checks I was supposed to cash but since I was in the hospital I couldn’t. He has everything, including my 9mm that I kept in my bag just in case of an emergency.
We pulled up to his place an di didn’t even wait until she stopped the car. I got out and ran up to his door banging.
“Katia, calm down” Rose said “You don’t want to harm the baby” She was right. I breathed in and out like she was instructing me. Damion came to the door trying the snap and I was getting mad again. Rose led me into the house, rubbing my belly.
“Okay im calm” I said and she stopped.
“Damion!” She yelled his name as he tried to sneak up the stairs. “Get yo ass down here now”
“Who the fuck do you think you talkin to rose?”
“You nigga, sit your grimey ass down, we have to tell you something” He came into the kitchen and I
