Today is thanksgiving and I was sitting in my room staring at my closet debating what I should wear to the living room.

I really don't feel like doing my hair I kinda wanna leave it in this low messy pony tail I left it in. It's one of those styles where you unintentionally create something and it actually turns out really cute, but if you were to try it again ... it wouldn't work out so great, so I just left it alone.

"Hey, I just got off the phone with Korey's mom and she told me they were stopping by because Korey has some news to share" my mother came into my room and told me.

I raised my eyebrow "that's weird" I chuckled, my mother joined me "yeah I know, when she told me all I could think about was maybe he's transferring schools or something" she suggested.

"I don't know I'll ask Keenan if he has any idea of what it could be" I told her.

Keenan's family and my family always have thanksgiving together every since our sophomore year of high school. We sort of made it a tradition to spend the holidays together.

"Him and Korey are speaking again?" My mom asked. "I really don't know" I answered truthfully. "I hope they do become friends again, but I doubt it" she said "well I'm gonna stay optimistic" I told her.

I grabbed a pair of jeans and a white fur jacket, I held it up to show my mother and she examined it "that's cute! You gonna take pictures?" She asked me "can you take them for me please?" I asked her "Tiara now you know I don't know how to take them damn pictures" she said.

"Ma! You act like I don't follow you on Instagram and be seeing your pictures. You know how to flick it up" I handed her my cell phone and proceeded to put my outfit on.

"That's because your father is my personal photographer, Tay'Vian also .. now that girl can take some pictures. I finally convinced her to go into photography, she made a page and everything" she said "are you serious! I've been tryna convince her for so long to do it." I said.

"She said she didn't wanna go through the struggle of trying to get to the top and end up failing. I told her she can do whatever she puts her mind too. If she doesn't wanna fail, she won't fail. I told her to let go of that negative mind set and do what she loves" my mother explained.

"That makes me so happy! I feel like I haven't seen her or spoken to her in so long" now I'm sad.

My sister and I were always close but when I left for school we started drifting off a bit which was expected.

"She really misses you, I know she won't tell you that but I know she does. She's not use to not having you here so all she does is go over Courtney house, And she found herself a lil friend" my mom told me.

"Aw, well when she gets back home I'm gonna for sure have some sister time with her" I said "she should be getting here soon, dinner is almost ready" my mother took her phone out to dial Tay'Vian

"Wait my pictures!" I caught her before she left out of my room.

"Oh yeah" she grabbed my phone and I opened the blinds to allow the sunlight to enter my room, I then got on top of my bed and started posing for pictures.

I'm pretty sure my mom was just clicking through. Lord I hope she got some good angles.

She handed me my phone then left out of my room, and she actually didn't do as bad as I thought she was gonna do.

There was this one off guard I really liked that I decided to post.

@Tiara.Gold : found my outfit for the living room. Happy Thanksgiving 🤍.

Right away my girls commented on my picture. I miss them so much. I haven't been to school since the accident. I've still been able to get my work done though, I emailed my professors and basically told them what was happening and they've been communicating back with me emailing me my assignments and sending me the slides they went over.

Whenever I'm not helping take care of Keenan I am doing my work, I refuse to fall behind. Keenan and I will be going back though after our winter break for spring semester. We return in January. He's also been getting his work done. He's in bed all day and Miss Nikita actually didn't give him the option. As soon as he was healed good enough to move his arms she told him grab that laptop and do his work.

So some days we do our work together and end up falling asleep then finishing it the next morning.

"Tiara! Everyone's here!" My father called me downstairs. I put on my low cut chestnut Ugg's and then made my way downstairs.

I saw Keenan and his peoples and went over to give all of them hugs. I went over to Keenan once I was done speaking to his family, he was sitting on the couch.

"Hey, my mom told me Korey and his family are going to stop by with big news. You have any idea what it could be?" I asked him.

He just looked at me like he was debating whether or not to tell me something then he just said "nah, I'm not really sure". He was lying. And he knew that I knew he was lying.

The dining table was long as hell the plates were set and our parents were putting the food on the table. I went into the kitchen to help them grab the things. Keenan was still on crutches so he really couldn't do much.

As soon as all the food was put out on the table there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Tay'Vian called out. We were all now sitting at the table.

Tay'Vian came back around and following her was Korey, his parents, his siblings and a random lightskin girl who I recognized from one of Korey's insta stories.

"Heyy!!" They all greeted us. Korey and his dad and brother all had different dishes in their hands and my mom told them to just find a place to put it on the table. "Tiara can you go get a chair for this young lady please?" My mother asked. "Sure thing" I said. I went down the basement to go grab a chair for her then made my way back upstairs and sat it under the table for her.

"Thank you" she smiled at me "no problem" I smiled back. I went over to Korey and gave him a long tight hug.

"Alright is everyone in and settled?" My mom asked. We were all sitting down at the table it was a lot of us and a lot of food. I love holidays because it's all about family and everyone coming together to appreciate and enjoy each other's company.

I was sitting next to Keenan, and Korey and that girl were sitting across from us. Keenan had his head down for a while and it was confusing me like he was trying to avoid eye contact.

Miss Nikita said the prayer to bless the food and then we all started making our plates and eating.

"Hey you okay?" I asked Keenan. "Yeah, just a little distracted" he said.

"So Korey your mom told us you had some news to tell?" My mother asked him "oh um yeah I do" he looked directly at me. I raised my eyebrow because I was confused and didn't know what was about to come out of his mouth.

"So everyone this is Bre, she and I have been close for some time now and um Tiara I really just want to apologize to you, I promise you I never wanted to hurt you. I would never intentionally do something that I know would hurt you and I hope and pray that you will find it in your heart to forgive me" Korey said to me.

The table was completely silent. I looked over at the girl and she sent me a sympathetic smile.

What the fück is he about to say.

"But Um, Bre is about two months pregnant now. We are expecting a baby" he looked at me and said that.

Korey got a girl pregnant. A girl he just met. A girl he doesn't even know.

I looked over at Keenan "you knew didn't you?" I asked. That explains why he acted like that when I asked him.

"I'm sorry Ti!" He said. I stood up from the table. "Tiara..." my mother called me but I ignored her.

Tears were running down my face "did you want to humiliate me?" I yelled at him "no Ti I wanted to tell you in front of everyone" he said "you could've told me this in private that you got some other girl knocked up, but in front of everyone" I was shaking.

Keenan was trying to calm me down by grabbing at my hand but I pulled away "you don't touch me. How long have you known?" I asked him. He sighed "since the beginning" he said. "So for two months?" I asked him. He nodded his head and looked down.

"Wow" I'm lost for words. I can't even finish my food I lost my appetite from this news.

"I'm sorry Ti, I didn't know how else to tell you and I knew I couldn't keep it from you any longer. It was a drunken night and things just escalated" he explained to me.

"I don't want to hear anything you have to say Korey" I said to him. I walked towards the door and grabbed my car keys. "Ti.." Korey came after me.

"Don't touch me. Don't call me. Don't talk to me ever again. I don't wanna hear anything you have to say. You knew exactly what the fück you were doing Korey" I cried to him.

Then I heard Keenan and his crutches "and you! I've been with you every single day and you didn't mention anything either!" I yelled at him.

"I told him not to Ti, he wanted to but then realized it wasn't his place. I wanted to be the one you found out from" Korey explained.

"The only two boys I've ever loved .. have hurt me the most within a span of four months. Four freaking months." I was crying hard tears now.

I couldn't even get the words out. "I'm so sorry Tiara, I love you I really do and I always will" he said "you don't love me. You got another girl pregnant. You thought with your dick and not your brain. You're a piece of shit, you talking to me telling me you miss and love me but was messing with her on the low? You disgust me. I want nothing to do with you Korey" I said directly to him, looking him dead in his eyes.

Then I left out.
