People of Color Sad Friendship

Everyone wants to be happy, no one wants wants to be sad and get pain.

but you can`t make a rainbow without a little pain. I was yet to be born 20 years ago, mom met dad at side chick`s bar then.

she was crazier hot and supper sexy , doing all she wanted without caring. but she was a soft hearted girl and had a dream to achieve in life.

like everybody else we all has this big thing we want to achieve and be proud of ourselves all entire life.

so is Mom.

you are curious to know about thus dream huh!

Carl Anderson wanted to have a loving husband and to be a perfect mom and wife to her family. isn`t that a wonderful dream? I think it is as a son.

and then there is this time we think that our lives are changing, and its really is the truth. it's the person you never saw coming that will change your life either positively or negatively, mom's life changed then. one night, I mean only one night mom met a man. it was enough to ruin her entire life.

" so you finished high school!" how great, Oh MATT just stop please teasing me, haw no n*t really I am not teasing you I mean it.

you are great I admire you and I love you wholeheartedly.

they kissed and embraced.

Andy sighed and said, hey Matt what do you do for living? oh me? Matt asked surprised, as he was famous of course he was surprise to hear such amazing and hot girl not knowing him.

mom said " yeah you who else" I am a basketeer.

mom was shocked, oh noo it can't be, "be what?" Matt asked.

are you that Mattson Gilbert? or you gotcha kidding me.

no Andy, oh yeah it's me, Matt.

romance started then, they dated for few days, and hanged out for dinner few more nights, they had a perfect love, I mean too perfect to be real.

Andy's parents asked her about the boy he was dating , they wanted to meet him as every parent wants the bests for their children'

and then Mom said" he is too busy to come for lunch, he is a baller." and there was the basketball match going on.

they turned on TV, she had a remort and said see!! number 27 happy now???? she sounded arrogant but they held on to keep up with her.

" do you know what girl, you better go away from that man" Jimmy Anderson ordered.

no Dad I can't he loves me, we are in love. she said, mom please say something.

she thought as if she was not enough to be loved by Matt.

in next few days Matt didn't call or text her. she became paranoid but what can she really do? she didn't even has his address.

in couple of day Andy met her best friend Nicole "hello sweet Andy?" it's been a while I missed you love. she looked happier and that triggered my mom's jealousness as she was wandering where her prince charming went.

Nicky got shocked what's wrong Andy? you seem not happy. the dance competitions are coming, it's your time girl go and shine.

mom replied raggedly I am pregnant Nicky.

"holly shit, it can't be no girl I thought you were on pills" yeah I was

but something went wrong. and what's worse is that" Matt is out of reach I feel devastated" No Andy let's not hope for the worst he will come soon.

okay Nicky and I hope one of the girls will make it.


the following morning Matt finally responded to voicemail, Matt" hello sweet Andy? I am sorry I went on vacation but I am soon coming to see yah"

they met and mom split out the fact that she was pregnant with me, She was surprised by the look on his face as she thought that was good news.

she continued" I feel great Matt, maybe this is not bad news at all our dreams are finally coming true, we raise him to be a basketballer like he's own father okay?"

No!!!! Andy don't dare compare an accident with my dreams I worked very hard to reach here I can't let you good for nothing b*tch ruin them.

he argued in rage and left.

mom was left all alone and her eyes became watered

I can feel how heartbroken she was, as the tears are words our mouths can't say nor can our hearts bear.

that sweet moments ended then and she was left with the memories only, it's hart to be a single mom but not very if you have a family and friends to stand with you.

Nicky stood by her no ,matter what.

she spent like three more years calling and texting dad so that at least he can come and see me once.

"hello Matt this is Andy, my last message I hope it reaches you our son is growing more handsome and he needs a dad, I named him Virgil Gilbert." I named after you because he got your handsomeness and cute nose.

I am sorry but I left my addresses please come and visit your son once.

my grandpa caught her recording.

" Andy you have grown up now, and you made me proud, your son doesn't need that good for nothing crap as dad he needs you

and you are more than prepared to fight for him I am proud of you.


you have us, me, your mom and Nicole to support you okay??

the following days my grandparents caught in accident and both died in a blink of an eye, Tragedy.

it was a hell for mom to bear.

I am vey proud of her heart, it's been played, stabbed, cheated, and broken but somehow still works.

worked very hard to endure all that, she became a beggar to feed me, and continued to voicemail dad updating him for all situations, but there is still things I don't understand!! what was mother wanted from Matt? love or sympathy? I don't know.

in next 7 months Matt finally came it was on my fourth cake day. ,my very first time seeing dad I was happy then as on my middle nursery class all kids bragged about their dads and I had nothing to say.

he looked nothing but a rich, handsome, and stunning while my angel mother looked just like a garbage. I became saddened at my young age, the first time I saw mom crying out laud begging for his support.

I have never seen mother in that pain my whole days of life." Matt our son has gone through so much please spare him for the sake of his future" we were poor but my mother had to go through hell and come alive to provide my birthday cake I pray that I grow to be a man like Mom.

listen Andy" I am a man of the family now I have a wife and a daughter to take care of, I can help you financially but I can't bring him to destroy my family"

he's your son too and deserves to have a family too.

she cried but nothing recovered.

he supported us like he promised mom, I continued my school.

I was smart at my age, wise and intellectual many teachers loved me for that.

but of course I was dealing with some mental instability as the other children spent their father and son days together happily I felt like bombing them, I faced discriminations alone though I had mom on my side,

that influenced me to drop out of school and go streets to streets searching for my dad.

I made my sweetest and caring mother go through a hell again I regret it and thank her for still loving me unconditionally.

the whole school contributed to search for me and they soon found me, I came back to school then but as I was still rebellious I joined a youth gang at school and did unforgivable deeds, smoked several times, skipped classes to extent I feared myself too.

and then once my friend Arvin asked" Vi why are you avoiding me? you always disappear when we're supposed to go home together." where do you go? an I said " don't ask me as you won't come with me anyway, we do bad things" and he asked " who gave you the permission to decide for me? you just take me there." I took him with me.

then after while we going home he murmured" Vi you are not only friend but a brother to me, so please don't ever join that group again" I agreed because I've already realized it sooner but had no courage to stop going there.

my days became brighter then as I started working hard for my dreams too.

I wanted to make my mom the happiest woman in universe, I learnt to ignore people's discriminations, picked the stones they threw at me and built an empire.

I finished high school having first grade in all lessons and made mother and my school super proud of me.

mom asked" son I feel extremely lucky and happy to have had you, you are my pride what should I award you?" and I said "mother don't feel offended but please why don't you find another man and live happily?" I am a grown man now I understand and she smiled and told me" son sometimes forgetting your first love is like forgetting your most beautiful memory, it's not easy and besides I have you" what else can I wish for? I became happier and in few more years my dad took me so that I can continue my college lessons, I now live with him, my stepmother and my two more sisters.

my mother visits us regularly I am now on school of an engineer, soon to join designing company as I am still the smartest student in whole college.

it's amazing how someone can break your heart and you can still love them with all the little pieces, dad broke mine and my mother's heart but we still love him

but the difference is he apologized and his new family welcomed me, we are the one big happy family and mother remarried and has two more sons too.

like I wished she's the happiest ever.

I am successful and smartest and what made me stronger is the battles I conquered but my mom inspired me the most

I love her.

this was my story doesn't have to became yours and I tell you "never say never."

don't say die, it might pain and taste sweetly.


THE END!
