the brwnest shade of blue

The house dat hell built. The older brother came 2 stay. Cuz same age as Jade & her 2 y.o daughter came 2 stay. The aunt came 2 house. N the house that hell built. The new job downtown left Raven w Jade's car durin the day. He drove his family everywhere He didn't work. Dint pay for gas & food or clean the house. Her new coworkers wld taunt & threaten her constantly. Raven wld leave her waitin @ the train station for hrs. When Raven did find work. Her car became his but all the repairs were Jade's responsibilty. Along w the groceries, the rent & the utilities. Thousands of dollars were bein spent to support a man, 2 kids & his family the occupied thehouse. They had no privacy & the basement would flood & stink up their clothes. The bugs ran rampid & Jade cldnt even bathe properly bc they cld barely afford soap & the bathrroms were either occupied or filthy. Mold & mildew multiplied faster than Jane cld clean it. As her world began 2 crumble & Raven began 2 cling her 4 dear life, her weight picked up while her hair kept fallin out. She was gettin used the Kaylin's drama & how she angered Raven so. Raven n return began full Jade's head with the thought of them havin a family. Although he abused her, Jade was used 2 it & thought that was love was. Her daddy didn't like her, he was mentally & verbally abusive. All men had always treated her the same way. Then w the pressure of sustaining a household & workn a new job. Raven's manipukation began 2 feel a lot like love. So she believed him when he wld tell her durin hours of sex that he wanted her to have his baby. Over & over for a month, day n & day out they made love. Huge difference bc Raven didn't have great a sex drive. Jade enjoyed the change. & when she questioned him about how serious he was about the baby, Raven convinced Jade he meant every word. Jade spent her days researching baby names & meanings, furniture & themes for a shower. She looked at calendars & tried to see if she could guess when she might conceive. One day after a nice afternoon of lovin....
