Hello. My name is Ms.C.jackson. C stands for charlotte, but friends call me cc. I work as a divorce lawyer in an office, which stands in the center of downtown, Atlanta. I’ve worked for a couple of famous people, like Kim Kardashian, Will Smith, etc. I can’t say that I’m rich nor wealthy, but for 1 year, I earn at least up to $100,000 to $200,000 annually. I work for the firm of Atlanta divorce lawyer / family attorney in Atlanta, Ga. For me, if you should ask, life is great. I’m engaged to a famous NFL player, Tony Brasting. When we met, it’s like I knew that he was the one. So…you want to know his description, huh?

Well, I’ll tell you. He is tall, light skin, light brown eyes, and a smile and winks that would make a girl faint. Yes, it does sound adorable,tho. Okay…back to me. Everyday, I wake up feeling fresher than the other days. I even some times memories my whole schedule for a week. But as time roll by, you just cant help but to ask yourself, “If I was single, would I be doing all this?”Whenever I ask myself that question, I would have the same response, which is yes. Don’t know about you, but life is happier when you have a helping hand. As life strolls through memory lane, you can view all the stuff that you’ve could’ve sworn you forgot about. Like I could’ve sworn I forgot about my lovely ex from high school. His name, don’t even think its important to say, is David Lovith Jr. I would call him DJ. I rarely think about going to my fiancé’s games because I know that I will run into DJ, because DJ plays on the same team my fiancé plays. Truth be told, I am not all that innocent, and neither are my sisters. I have two sisters before me, and a brother before them. So in other words, I’m the baby of the household. I am 24 years old. Yeah, I know what you are thinking…she is too young to be working as a divorce lawyer. I use to think that was the case, but not at all. My sister’s names are Natasha, and Becky Jackson. My brother name is Brian Jackson. My brother is 30 years old. Natasha is 28 years old. Becky is 26 years old. All of us are 2 years apart. My sister Natasha is 7 months pregnant, and she is having a girl. Her baby shower is next month on June 2nd. I have a meeting @ 7:00 am tomorrow about the court cases, and its progress. Okay, let me see…I’m getting paid Friday, have to go to fiancé’s game Saturday, family’s dinner Sunday morning… I think I got it, yep, that’s it.

(Ring…ring)

 “Hello?” I answered. “Yes, is this Ms.C.jackson?” answered the responder. “This is she…may I ask who is speaking?” I responded. “This…is…um…was…your secret admirer from high school” answered the responder. “Okay…what is your name?”I responded. “My name is Adrian Davis” he replied. Omg, I thought. What will I say? I haven’t seen or heard from this man in 4 years. But to be real, his real full name is Adrian “D” lovith. Yep. That is Dj’s brother. Sadly, I turned him down at prom junior year. Well, he is 25 years old. I have no clue of why he would be calling me because the last time we talked, we were talking about getting him a job. “Um…hey, how you’ve been?” I asked, “Got a family yet?” “No…not yet, but I found me a job, I start tomorrow”Adrian said. “Cool…maybe when you’re finish, we could go celebrate” I responded. “That sounds nice…I’ll call you later, bye”  Adrian said. “Okay, bye” I said, while hanging up my phone. Wow, so he finally found a job, that’s great. I’m actually happy for him. Well, I’m going to bed.

 Wednesday morning

(Beep…beep…beep)

  The alarm went off at 6:30 am on the dot. I got up, got dressed, and headed downstairs. Before I left, I gave my fiancé a kiss on his forehead. As I went into the kitchen, I made me a cup of coffee, which is usually a large cup. I quickly jumped into the car, opened the garage door, and headed out to work. My fiancé and I have 3 different vehicles put together. I have a BMW 2013 convertible, and my fiancé has a cherry red w/ black strips motorcycle, also a black coated pries hybrid. Sometimes, we would switch cars depending on the occasion. I made it to work at 6:45am, which gave me enough time to go to the breakfast bar. I was practically at my desk, waiting for them to say, “Meeting starts in 2 minutes”, but instead another announcement came, saying,  “Ms.Jackson, please come to the conference room”. I was kind of shocked, like why me, but I had no choice. As I walked inside, everyone started clapping and shouting with cheer. Then my boss walked up to me, shakes my hand, and handed me an award saying, “Let’s hear it for this years 2013 head lawyer”. I was so shocked to the point of me crying. Before he sat down, he quickly told me, “ As head lawyer, you will have to spend 4 months straight training our newest member of the work force, Adrian Lovith”. As I looked up, Adrian was sitting in the chair next to mine.

   For some reason, I knew he recommend that I train him. When I sat down, I was more focused on the meeting than him, not noticing that he was feeling on my leg. The meeting ended at 1:00pm. I had enough time to get him settled down for office work. My office was big enough for 2 people, so I had put Adrian’s desk facing my desk. The only things separating us were the walkway of my office, and the doorway. I wrote on a sticky note my email address, and phone number, just in case, he had any questions. I had placed it on the face of his computer screen. As Adrian was putting his stuff down, he noticed the note, and quickly looked at me smiling, which made me blush a little. Adrian came to my desk with his chair, and sat down next to me. The thing about my office is that my windows and doors are sound proof, and my blinds are always down and closed. I have a sign on my door that says, “in order to come inside, knock 3xs, and wait for my response”.

As he sat next to me, he noticed that my coffee cup was between my legs. Adrian gently removed the cup from my legs, and took a sip. I glanced at him for a second than headed back to my work. Adrian whispered something in my ear, which was, “For these 4 months, I’m your friend with…huh?”  Adrian sat up straight while I went to see who was at the door. To my surprise, it was my brother and sisters. “OMG, Brian, Natasha, Becky, I didn’t expect to see you until your baby shower”, I exclaimed. “Yeah…see that’s the thing…” Natasha said. “Wha…what’s wrong?” I asked, while bringing them into my office. Becky saw Adrian sitting at my desk and looked away. And then, I suddenly stopped, and turned around. I walked over to Adrian, and said in his ear, “Ask questions later, but right now it’s a family matters, I know and hope you understand”. Adrian shook his head, and slowly walked out of the office.

 “Now, tell me what’s wrong?”  I asked. Natasha looked aside crying.  “Natasha, please, I can’t help you, nor Brian and Becky, if one of you doesn’t start spilling out your minds” I pleaded. “Okay, you want to know why we are here today?” Brian yelled, frustratingly. “Yes! I do…I mean I am your sister, who cares and love this family too much to throw you away” I responded. Brian had put his hands into mines and said, “Lil sis, I’m sorry that I’ve come on such short notice, but mother died last week in the hospital due to a heart attack” I had let go of Brian’s hands, and headed out of my office. Adrian saw me coming out of office, barely able to walk.  Adrian quickly grabbed my arm and lifted me up and took me outside for some air. Adrian took me to the back part of the building. There he laid me down softly on the ground. As I woke up, I started crying like crazy. Adrian sat beside me and started stroking my hair back and forth. He told me something to help me calm down, which was, "Life comes and goes but you shouldn't let that kill you, and just know that i'm always there". I looked at him with eyes full of tears. I gave him a hug as a thank you. I recieved a text on my phone. I read the text, which says, " sister, this is becky, i have to talk to you. I am still in your office waiting for you. Brian and natasha had headed home to get the funeral place ready. The funeral is @ 8:00 am".  I looked at adrian and  said " take me back to my office". I could tell that adrian was mad when the text came up. Adrian took me to the room, and sat down on the bench that was outside of my office,and started whipping my lipstick off of his lips. Before i entered the room, i took a deep breath,and then walked into the room. Becky came running to me because she felt bad the way natasha and brian told me the news. She looked me in the eyes and said,"listen, no matter what, you will always be my bestfriend,and my little sister. Nay nay and brian was loves you, but they didn't feel that they should hurt me with the news". I pushed away. "Hurt me...hurt me, becky, thats my mother we are talking about here. Okay, answer me this, if they truly loved me, why did they keep this from me?", i yelled. Becky had no answer. She just kissed me on my forehead,and said,"just remember, what i said, okay". Becky walked out of my office, and Adrian walked in. I looked at him,and he looked at me. I went to my desk,and sat down. Adrian went to his desk and got on his computer. I was looking through my email suddenly I got an email.I opened the email, and there was a picture of my mother in the hospital, sleeping in death. All of a sudden, i threw up in the trash can.

Adrain rushed over to check on me, he saw the email,and quickly closed it out. I got up and started running for no reason. I grabbed my purse, phone, and keys. I jump into my car, and I rushed home. I rushed
