“Oh don’t be a brat, Chapel!’’ Marissa whines as I cover myself up with the towel. ‘’I’m not.’’ I mumble. ‘’Yes you are.. you always pull that ‘I don’t have a babysitter’ shit with me every time I wanna do something with you.’’ She sighs. ‘’Well I usually don’t.’’ I remind her.

Marissa and I are best friends and have been for a long time. We met in PreSchool and since then we’ve been unbreakable. I knew Marissa was definitely a friend for life when she helped me through the worst time in my life.. when I found out I was pregnant.

Spring Break of 2012 was the worst week of my life. Of course I had fun down in Florida, but the things I did weren’t called for based on my age at the time. I was only sixteen. I shouldn’t have been drinking and partying and hooking up. I’m a horrible mother. I don’t even have one clue of who my baby’s father is. And I’ll never know.

And it makes me sick that I let this happen to her. She didn’t deserve me as a mother. But I know, thinks to my deep religious roots, that God gave her to me for a reason. He needed me to grow up faster. And I did just that.

‘’You know my mom can watch her any time..’’ Marissa sighs, snapping me from my thoughts. ‘’I know.. its just I haven’t been out… in forever.’’ I remind her of these. I walk into my room, her directly behind me. I had just gotten out of the shower and was finishing driving my hair when she got here.

‘’I know! And we need to hang out! This party will be epic, don’t you trust me!’’ She whines as she plops down on my bed. ‘’I do trust you.. its just that I’m not in any mood to have a one night stand again. You know that. I don’t do that.’’ I sigh as I grab a bra from my drawer and a pair of matching panties.

‘’But babe.. You’ll be old enough and all that shit. Besides, its Liam’s party!’’ Liam is Marissa’s boyfriend. He’s from England and he’s all tattooed out and stuff. But despite his appearance and his past, he’s a pretty nice and gentle guy. We’re good friends.

‘’I don’t care.’’ I mumble as I reach behind my back to hook my bra. Marissa could care less if I was naked or not, and honestly I didn’t care if she was in here. We’re that close, and its not like she’s gay. I’m not, and neither is she. We just have that bond that will go through anything. And this, trust me, this was nothing.

“I’ll.. I’ll think about it.’’ I sigh out, knowing that she’d never give up on convincing me to go. ‘’Yay! I love you! Now.. where’s my little best friend?’’ She asks as she jumps off the bed and runs to the door way. ‘’In her room.’’ I smile as she claps happily and runs out of the door and across the small hall way.

I know now though that I’m going, either way. She’ll make me go. She’ll force me. She’ll even attempt to kidnap be, trust me she’s tried before. But as long as there’s no drinking, smoking, and sex for me.. I’ll be okay.

In the end of most situations around here, and I did say most of them, Marissa always forces me to go where ever with her after assuring me that Lyndi will have a babysitter, some times her mom and sometimes her younger sister. I guess that was okay though.

My daughter’s name is Lyndi Grace and she’s my entire world. Completely entire world for sure. She was three, just turned three actually. She was born on April 27th, 2012, at 9:03 p.m. I remember the weather that day, it was slightly raining. That day changed my life.. for the better.
