His ride and Pride

Heart

I found myself on the beach sitted on a bench .

"So for how long are you going to get upset "said a familiar voice I haven't had in years .

"Eleanor” I said . She sat next to me she was in a pink dress.

"Did I ever tell you why I was always on drugs getting high? She asked .

"No."I said .

"It's because I was angry at myself , angry at the world , my mom was a crack w***e and my dad was a drunk , I hated my family when I found out whom they were , in the end I lost my life "she said .

"Why are you telling me this "I asked .

"It's because i don't want you to end up like me , I know you are angry at yourself , but just know this ,I am so proud to have a friend like you for all the things you do for Mighty that I didn't thank you Heart . Don't give up on her , she loves you more than she would love me and above all you are a strong woman who stood up for me countless times , don't forget who you are Love "she said .

She made me feel so better the anger and sadness faded , instead I felt happy.

"Thanks Eleanor ."I said .

"I should be the one thanking you , you are beautiful , powerful and the best mother thank you Heart ."she said .

I hugged her .

"Thank you Eleanor , I feel much better "I said .

"They are all waiting for you Love , "She said . I saw drift further and further .

I opened my eyes , I realized I was in the hospital , On the couch sat Mrs. Leo Tyrone's mom , Mighty slept in her laps , Nate was asleep on the rocking chair , still don't know what a rocking chair is doing there , and looking down on the bed to my right side Tyrone's head rested holding my hand . They all came to be with me . I stroked his soft hair , he moved a little before he woke up ,

His eyes looked up at me I smiled at him .

"Hey , "he said . Mighty woke up too she walked up to me .

"Mommy "she said. I embraced her she laid her head on my chest .

The doctor walked into ran some tests on me . I was quite surprised to see Nate and their mom , and am eager to know how I got here .

They woke up and were glad to see how I was feeling , I am grateful they came , as well as how sweet they have been to my daughter. Mrs. Leo left with Mighty and Nate to buy her something to eat ,I was alone with Tyrone .

" thanks for taking care of her , I don't know how you found me but am grateful " I said .

" Mighty called me and said you were not waking up , she was really crying , am more than willing to help "he said .

"I can't thank you enough "I said . He looked into my eyes , there was an awkward silence .

"What did the doctor say?” I asked .

He signed .

"You are depressed and very stressed very worrying as your body was under a lot of pressure. “he said sadly . Well he's right am so stressed and depressed, about something I fear would happen soon .

" if I may ask ? Is what I did the reason why you are very depressed and stressed ?"he asked , I looked at him , well he did scare me but that didn't really add to my stress , over there few months , I have been receiving notifications from the Child services , they had a look at my history records , and did find some s**t . I was expelled from the orphanage after standing up for my best friend Mighty's biological mom when she was pregnant , and her drugs lifestyle with the father of Mighty , and for now am single not married trying to make ends meet , so according to them they believe I was also using drugs with Eleanor and Austin since I lived with them , I was a brat in the orphanage , I don't have experience with kids as I have none of my own ,and worst of all am not financially stable to take care of Mighty . It's been a battle to fight against the Child services , their assumptions are ridiculous going to court didn't help much , I am able to provide for her , its just a plot to sell her off to some family that will exploit her , countless times Eleanor appeared in my dreams and begged me to never let them take Mighty away , I will never let them take her , but each day I live with fear they could take her away , that fear was about to be a reality when they came to my apartment to look for Mighty luckily I had taken her for her ballet classes , the nanny did inform me they came and it broke me to pieces any day they could march up to my apartment and take my daughter forever . It really made me stressed out and so depressed just thinking how things would be without her , I took care of her the minute she popped out of Eleanor's v****a , even when Eleanor neglected her at just two weeks old for drugs I took care of her , going to work , walking long distances to save on fare , carrying her , soothing her to sleep , sexually assaulted by men while trying to make money to buy her diapers and baby food as well as clothes . My love for my daughter is stronger than any obstacle I have ever faced. No its not about what you did , its just they ... never mind" I said , I didn't want to involve him into my s**t I will find a way to fight my daughter. He held my hand and lifted up my chin to look into his blue eyes.

" please tell me I can help “he said .

"No ..its nothing .."I said , luckily Mighty walked in I smiled at her she held my hand ,

"I love you mommy "she said .

"I love you too honey "I said .

I was discharged from the hospital , Mighty had made a close connection with the Leo's especially Mrs. Leo , I promised to bring her for a visit very soon to Mrs. Leo's mansion .

Tyrone drove us home , I was feeling well but my fear was taking over me , I hadn't told Tyrone about what would happen any day or time when those bitches would walk up to my door and take Mighty . I remember having the conversation with Mighty's nanny about it.

" have you considered all your options ?"she asked.

"Yea I have , I took them to court presented my drug tests, all receipts of how much I have invested , my income , health record , but they somehow played the system and got their way.” I said angrily .

"Well what of the other option, have you thought about it? “She asked . That's by far unrealistic

"No not at all it's by far impossible I haven't thought about it, it may affect Mighty badly , she's not open to changes that much "I said.

"Well just think about it "she said . I looked at Tyrone who was driving his eyes on the road . Mighty was playing a game on his iPad.
