One is the Loneliest Number
Chapter 1




(http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/8476/snapshot72d3b78c72d3d40ln9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Curled up on the edge of her bed, Lena gazed out the window. There was nothing left for her here, nobody to comfort her. A look of pure anguish played across her face, her emptiness and sorrow neverending.
     "When will it end?" She wondered. "I can't take this much longer."



(http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/1971/snapshot72d3b78c32d3b78op4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

She had to leave... this place held too many memories. Some happy and some sad, but the emptiness of the house was too much for such a young girl to bear. There was a musty smell of cheap colonge in the room, the firmiliar smell of her father. She began to think about him and it only brought tears back to her eyes. She longed for their company and wished nothing more than to have them with her again. But, things would never be the way they used to be.



(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4664/snapshot72d3b78cd2d3c5cmk6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Lena sat in silence, doing nothing more than remembering. She thought of her old life, her school, her family, and the business and love that once filled her empty house. Her childhood home brought back so many memories of a better time. A time when she was happy.

She found herself in the dark... remembering.





(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4745/snapshot72d3b78cf2d3c6ehr2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Ah, her father. David Michael Joshua Jameson, that sure was a mouthful, she had always thought so. She held a small picture close to her heart as she remembered whatever she could about him. Just from the picture, the only real memory she had of him, she could tell that he was a cheery, handsome young man, with great ambitions. Her older brother Chuck had always told her what a great guy he was, always looking out for everyone around him. She wanted to see him and to remember. But, she was only a baby when he died.



(http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/2521/snapshot72d3b78c32d3c80oz7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Then there was her mother. If there was one noticable quality about her, it was her beauty. Her name was Lily, and Lena had heard stories about her mother and father and how much they loved each other. He called her his little tiger Lily. Even though she knew everything there was to know about them, she hadn't remembered it on her own. If there was one thing she could have changed, it would have been that she was older, like Chuck or Josie, and she could remember these things for herself.



(http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/6893/snapshot72d3b78c12d3c77wq8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Chuck... the one who had raised her since she was a little one. She looked up to him more than anyone else because even though she knew he was crying on the inside, he took the duty of raising his two younger sisters. He sure was a brave kid, and there was no one else she'd like to be like more. But, he had abandoned her. She wanted to ask him for advice and she needed a shoulder to lean on, but he was not there when she needed him most... but she didn't blame him.



(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4056/snapshot72d3b78c12d3c7dfd7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Lastly, there was Josie, Josephine Jameson her real name. They called her Josie or J.J. for short. She was always a very moody little girl and after mom and dad were gone, she gave Chuck a hard time. It was hard enough for him already without her adding more work onto his plate. But, she didn't know any better until she was older and she knew what it was like to be responsible for another person's life. But, the pressure had just been too much for her.



(http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/5333/snapshot72d3b78c12d3d03mt1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

One thing she did remember was watching Josie sitting on her bed, just thinking. After their parents were gone, Josie spent alot of her time just thinking.
     Lena would watch from her crib and whine and yell out "Osie! Lenny wana get ou!!!" But, Josie would always be in some sort of trance, lost in her memories. There was nothing she could do to get her attention. Now, Lena knew how that felt. There was nowhere she wanted to be more than lost in her memories.

Fourteen years ago were happy times. The Jameson family had just recently moved into their new house in a new place, ready for a new life. They were happy and they loved each other. They didn't need anyone else to make their lives complete.



(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5483/snapshot72d3b78cb2d3c97yq1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Everything was happy, until Lily was diagnosed with a rare type of skin cancer. Her beautiful hair slowly fell out more and more each day from all the medicines she was taking. She always sat up in bed looking unusually flushed, unable to sleep yet craving a good nights rest. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months before the doctors were sure that there was nothing left they could do for her.



(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7002/snapshot72d3b78c32d3c93hw0.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

She went peacefully, in her sleep, looking as serene as an angel. Noone dared disturb her until the doctors came in the middle of the night and took her to the hospital for the autopsy. They said they wanted to know how to cure this cancer before anyone else came down with it. So, she was like their ginea pig. They all crowded around the bed and said good bye to their beloved mother for the last time. They all cried together.



(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9885/snapshot72d3b78cf2d3ccfte3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

As hard as it was, life moved on. The following summer was like any other, David, Chuck, J.J., and Lena playing in the sprinklers outback. The only thing missing was Lily's cheerful giggling as she watched them do tricks and have water fights from her lounge chair. But, as much as they were all thinking about her, they got past their thoughts and tried to have a good time.



(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/7121/snapshot72d3b78cf2d3cdeal5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Just as their little family was starting to adjust to life without their mother, David got in a terrible car accident on his way home from work. He was just outside the house when a crazy nanny's van hit the back of his car. The crazy woman must have been driving atleast 50 mph. His head slammed violently into the windshield, shattering his skull as shards of dangerous glass flew everywhere. There was no mistaking his fate.



(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/8561/snapshot72d3b78c12d3cf8uc7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Chuck, Josie, and Lena mourned over the loss of the two of the people they loved the most in the world. Everything was crashing down around them, the perfect life they had shattering to a million pieces. They were just three kids, left to fend for themselves in this big, cruel world.



(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1276/snapshot72d3b78c12d3d08bu0.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

How could life possibley go on?!

UPDATE
(Sorry it took so long!)



One is the Loneliest Number
Chapter 2




(http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/1821/snapshot72d3b78c52df537gn5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Chuck really did love her... and he wasn't afraid to show it. He was the bravest of them all, always finding new ways to make life for he and his sisters easier. He sacrificed everything for them, he got a partime job at a small local diner and he even dropped out of school so he could be home with them when he wasn't working. But, for Lena there was special treatment. Chuck made sure she was sheltered from the hardships of her life ahead of her. He came rushing at her every whimper and acted like she was the one he was doing everything for. Josie wasn't too happy about that.



(http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/5637/snapshot72d3b78c32df53brg1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
(http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/1811/snapshot72d3b78c52df543lf8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

The day Lena made her transition into a child was a joyous occasion for everyone. Her brother stood by her side, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. Josie even put aside her jealousy and hugged her sister tightly to celebrate her birthday. But, relations between Lena and Josie didn't stay like this for very long.



(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4830/snapshot72d3b78cf2df554jb2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Josie soon let her jealousy get the better of her. Things came to a point when Josie couldn't even bear to be in the same room as her sister. She was coming into her preteen stage in life and she felt that since she was older, she was better. It killed her that her older brother didn't think so and finally, she snapped.



(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4448/snapshot72d3b78cb2df549az8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

"Lena this, Lena that! When has it ever been about me?! It's always been all about you, you, you! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to get rid of you once and for all, you little brat!"



(http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/8370/snapshot72d3b78cd2df552bb4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Josie jumped on Lena and pushed her face into the scratchy, old carpet. The burning was unbearable. She kicked and punched with no remorse and Lena took the blows, defenceless. Josie was older and stronger and she knew that better than anyone.



(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4826/snapshot72d3b78cd2df55cbl4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

If Chuck hadn't pulled them off each other when he did, the consequences of Josie's actions would have been much worse.

"Josephine Alicia Jameson! What in the world were you thinking?! You know Lena can't defend herself against you! She's much too young!" Chuck was fuming with anger.

"You... it's all your fault! You baby her like she's a precious little princess! She'd just a little rat and she doesn't deserve anything!" Upon hearing these hateful words coming out of her own sister's mouth, Lena ran downstairs. Naturally, Chuck ran after her leaving Josie alone... again.



(http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/9317/snapshot72d3b78c92df56dap2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Studying her bruised eye in the mirror, a single tear clung to her cheek. She got lost in her brother's embrace, trying to make everything go away. She cried and cried until there was nothing left to her.

"Why, Chuck? Why did mommy and daddy have to die? Why does God have to be so mean? What did we do to him to deserve this?" Lena whimpered.

"We don't deserve this, Lenny. But, sometimes God can't control what goes on in peoples' lives."
They sat down together and Chuck flicked on Lena's favorite cartoon program. Everything was more calm after that.. until Josie's birthday.



(http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/5936/snapshot72d3b78c92df58fwx8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Josephine's transformation into a teenager gave a completely new look. She had cut off almost all her hair, bought new makeup and clothes, and pierced her lip! Undoubtedly trying to make a statement, she wandered around the house without even acknoledging those around her. She went to school and came home alone.





(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/5098/snapshot72d3b78cf2df5a0mn5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Even with Josie's new look and depressed attitude towards life, things went on. The Jameson family, or what was left of it, was happy... for the most part (with an exception to Josie... of course). That was, until one night when a strange man came to the front door and rang the bell.



(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7740/snapshot72d3b78cb2df5a4wt5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

"What do you want?" Josie asked, her manners obviously someplace else.

"Does a Mr. Charles Jameson live here?"

"Yeah, what's it to you?"

"I need to speak to him about some important bussiness. Please let him know that a General Grunt is here for him...
immediatley."





To Be Continued....

Sorry this it's taking so long for an update to those who like the story so far. I just got Seasons and I've been a little preoccupied and distracted with it so I haven't had time to write an update. But, I will have you know that I have a recreated Jameson family in my game again... so hopefully the update will come soon enough!

Cheers!

Oh my gosh guys, I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a really long time. But, my graphics card is acting all loopy and the game crashes on me whenever it feels like it. I haven't been able to take any new shots because the game usually runs for a few minutes (I'd say 5-10) and I haven't had a chance to experiment with my Jamesons. I'm dying bc I already have it all set what is going to happen next and everything but I just can't get my game to cooperate! I'm trying to figure out how to fix this and I'm not sure how long it will take. I may have to just reinstall windows and then it will take me forever to download all my custom content. I really don't want to deal with that, though. I'm not sure yet what to do but as soon as the game is up and running again, I promise to bring you all a new update! Thanks so much for your patience everyone!

HORRAY!!! I finally got the game working but I had to reinstall the sims 2 and all the eps to make it work. I have recreated the Jameson family and I've tried to make them look like they were but there are a few small differences. I recently got face template replacements so it was a little harder to make them look the same. Also, since I have Seasons now and the Jamesons live in Strangetown (a desert=hot), they all needed to get more summery clothes or they would get heat stroke. The only one that is exactly the same is Chuck, the oldest brother. But, I'm proud of how Lena and Josie came out and I think they look better. But, you can be the judge of that!


I've decieded to post a MONDO-update to make up for the lack of updates in such a long time. Also, I've had this whole thing in my head forever and I just need to let those updates out! So, get ready for a BIGGIE! I'm posting it in 3 different chapters though. Enjoy!

One is the Loneliest Number
Chapter 3





(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/412/snapshotf3298d351329973ul3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


Chuck hurried to the door to greet his unexpected visitor.

   "Good evening, my boy."

   "Hey, General, what's going on?"

   "Well, son, you remember when you signed up for the army a few weeks ago? The men at the table said they'd call you on when you're needed to start training?" Chuck had always been enthusiastic about defending himself for what he believed in, and he was sure that the army was a great place to help him grow into a man. But, he hadn't told his sisters about signing up because he was afraid it would make them nervous.

   "You know what? How about we continue this conversation in the other room." Chuck knew that Lena and Josie were just a few feet away and he didn't need them getting involved with this army stuff. He lead the General into the dining room and closed the door tight behind him.




(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/7843/snapshotf3298d35b329995ep8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)



Josie and Lena didn't hear anymore of the conversation. They strained to hear what was going on but the old fashioned wooden doors were too durable and thick and they made sure nothing ever escaped through them. The next thing the girls knew, Chuck was calling them outside to have a little one-on-two chat with them. They both sat down on opposite ends of the swinging porch bench as they gazed up at their older brother, who was now wearing a hand me down camoflage uniform. He started to speak.

   "I know this may be a little weird for you guys and I know that I should have told you about this sooner.. but I signed up for the army a few weeks ago. General Grunt was here to inform me that I have been selected to go into intense army training for the next 6 months and then later be drafted into the war over in Iraq. I have a duty to this country, to make sure you two can grow up in a safe enviornment. I have a duty to you guys."

   Lena immediatley splurt out "How will we take care of ourselves? That's your job! And what if you get hurt.. or die in the war? Then what do we do?!"
 
 "Lena, stop freaking. I promise, I'll be back within the next few years. Josie can take care of you just fine, she's almost 18! I have no doubt that you girls will be fine on you're own and I promise that I'll come back. Nobody's gunna lay a hand on Chuck Jameson! I have to do this.. please try to understand." General Grunt came back through the front door.
   "Hey, kid. You ready to go?"
   "Just give me five minutes."
   "Sure thing. I'll be waiting in my tank out front."




(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/264/snapshotf3298d355329998ik4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)



Chuck smiled at his sisters "Hey, just come and give me a hug, would you?"

The girls tried to seem as cool about this whole situation as their brother was. He was about to train for long hours everyday, then go fight in a war that would put his life on the line more then it ever had been before.
He hugged both his sisters, nearly breaking their spines. Right before pulling away he whispered in Lena's ear, "I'll come home as soon as I can. I promise."
A single tear fell down Lena's cheek.




(http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/500/snapshotf3298d3553299b3pl2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)



Lena watched silently as Chuck's silouette faded off into the foggy night.
He turned around and gave her a friendly wave, but she couldn't see him through the thick darkness. Lena promised herself she would be strong as another one of her family members walked right out of her life.




(http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2545/snapshotf3298d3573299bbqp6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)



Just then, the strangest thing happened. Once Lena was sure Chuck was gone, she turned around to head back into the house and crawl into bed. She turned around to find that Josie was still standing there. Before Lena realized, she was captured in a tight, sisterly hug by the one person who she thought hated her the most in her life.
   Josie said in a stern yet relaxed voice, "It's okay Lena, I know Chuck will be fine. You don't have to worry your pretty little head for him... he can take care of himself. I know you may not be happy with his choices but this is something he wants to do. Remember, you'll always have me."

Lena and Josie just stood there, locked in a hug. They hadn't shared a moment like this ever since before Josie started being jealous of Lena. Neither of them spoke a word. They didn't need to.

This Chapter is a little bit different because it's mostly about Lena's older sister, Josie. It is some background information nesseccary to understand the next part.

One is the Lonliest Number
Chapter 4





(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/4336/snapshotf3298d3573299c4az3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)



Appearently, Lena was wrong to think that things between her and her sister would get better after they 'clicked' again. But, they didn't. In fact, they got worse. Lena spent most of her time avoiding Josie so she could save herself the earful of yelling that she went through everyday. Josie thought that now that she was in charge of the family, she could do whatever she wanted. She dropped out of high school, starting seeing different boys every night, and stopped listening to authority. The power just got to her head.

Josie acted like she had the house to herself. She had friends (mostly boys) over all the time and yet she ignored her only sister. Most of Josie's "friends" didn't even know she had a little sister!





(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6236/snapshotf3298d3533299efmu6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


First there was Blair. He was kind of a loner type of kid who just sat around all day at home playing video games. He didn't have much of a social life except for the week he spent with Josie. But, Josie broke up with him because of his lack-of-personality, as she so harshly put it.




(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/9141/snapshotf3298d353329a75pp4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


Then there was Kenny. It was odd to see Josie with a boy like this because they were like polar opposites. He enjoyed playing sports while she enjoyed roaming around the streets at night. He spent all his money on his football uniform while she spent all of hers on eccentric makeup. She listened to songs about death, dispair, and sorrow, while his favorite artists were 50 Cent and Biggie Smalls. That's probabley why they didn't quite work out so well.




(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/7199/snapshotf3298d359329aafqt2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


Later there was Mitch. He was probabley the one that was most like Josie. They spent hours hanging out in the girls' parents room (which Josie claimed as her own to get far away from Lena) just listening to hardcore music and talking about their lives. They were perfect for each other. But, they eventually got sick of each other and broke up.




(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/6858/snapshotf3298d355329a98dw6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


Lastly there was Dave. He was a college guy. Lord only knows why he dated a little punk high school girl with no idea of the direction her life was going in. He was like a saint... St. David. He went to bed at 10:00 every night, did all his school work on time, ate all his green vegetables, and never forgot Valentines' Day. He and Josie were together for the longest amount of time compared to her other relationships.




(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6127/snapshotf3298d351329a9ejt3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


There was more Dave.




(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3848/snapshotf3298d353329a90kg3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


In fact, there was alot of Dave.

Everything seemed to be just great for Josie. With all the time she spent ignoring her sister and relaxing in Dave's arms, she thought she had a life of luxury. She saw him everyday, 7 days a week for a little more than 4 months. That's when Josie started getting even more moody and even more inconsiderate. Even if Lena had successfully avoided her sister, Jose would still come looking for her. She screamed at the top of her lungs everyday until her voice was hoarse. Then she would cry lakes because of her terrible mood swings. But, Lena couldn't figure out why. Then it hit her... Josie was pregnant. She got her sister to take a pregnancy test.

After the longest 3 minutes of the sisters' lives, the pregnancy test resulted positive. The minute she saw the test, Josie freaked and ran to the phone. Of course, she called Dave the saint and told him to come over immediatley. And of course, he rushed over there as fast as his 97' Honda would let him.

Just as Dave was walking into the house Josie fell down on her knees. She pleaded "Why God? Why me?" Dave ran to her side as he exclaimed
   "What in the world has happened to you?!" Once she realized he was standing over her, she forced herself off the ground without hesitation. She looked straight into his eyes and whimpered, "Dave, I'm pregnant."
   
   "WHAT?! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! I SO DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!!" Josie stumbled backwards as the abrupt burst of anger came shooting out of Dave's mouth. She was shocked and had never seen him angry or anything close to it before. But, he hadn't exactly been telling her the whole truth. Appearently he had a very quick temper. She left him to cool down and went upstairs to check on Lena.

When Josie came back downstairs Dave was nowhere in sight. She rushed outside to see if he was running away from her, but he wasn't. He was sitting on the same swinging bench that she and Lena sat on the night that Chuck disappeared. His head was down, in thought. But, once Josie stepped outside he got up and entwined her in a hug. Everythings going to be fine, Josie thought, he's okay with this. Boy, she was wrong.

   He pulled away and studied her face, wet from tears, and he said "Okay, listen Josie. I really need to finish up my college education so I can get a good job for myself in the long run. You see, this whole baby thing wasn't exactly part of my plan and I'm not ready for something like that. You know I love you and all but I can't deal with this right now. I promise you though, once I'm out of college in 2 years I'll come and get you. I just don't want this sort of life for myself." Unfortunately, Josie also didn't know that Dave was incredibley self-absorbed and didn't care about anyone's future but his own.

Josie may have been blinded by love for the past 4 months but she realized now what kind of guy Dave really was. She knew he wasn't coming back. He walked away without looking back. As much as he knew this wasn't the right thing to do, he did it anyway. So much for St. David.


Josie tried talking to her other recent boyfriends because after all, she wasn't exactly sure who's baby it was. But, it seemed that every talk had the same ending:

It seemed like nothing was going right for this poor girl. Was she going to have the baby? Should she give it up for adoption or maybe even get an abortion? Josie had big plans to move to college and study hard once Lena was old enough to take care of herself. How would Josie be able to succeed in college if she had a little baby person to take care of?! She couldn't imagine what it would be like to raise a baby all by herself. But, she also couldn't imagine giving up the little person that was a part of her.

What could she do?

Now, we're back with Lena in the spot light..



One is the Loneliest Number
Chapter 5

Thursday, June 17th was just like any other day. Well maybe it was to someone that wasn't part of the Jameson family. But, to Lena, it was her birthday. She came home on the school bus and rushed inside to find Josie and see if she could get a "happy birthday" out of her.

   "Josieeee! Where are you?!" Lena yelled up the stairs. But, there was no answer. She looked around, "Hmm I wonder where she's gotten to." Lena said outloud.



(http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8585/snapshotf3298d35d329b43dt9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)


Lena wandered towards the tv room. "Josiee are you in here?! Guess who's birthday it is today!!!" Still, there was no answer. Lena wandered into the tv room to find her sister, unconcious on the lavender carpet.



It wasn't until Lena got closer that she realized that Josie was drowning in a pool of blood.

Immediately, Lena freaked. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Josie, are you okay? Can you hear me?!" Lena tried desperatley to wake Josie up and she shook Josie until her arms were cramping up. She got up and paced around the room. "What am I going to do?! I have to call someone! The police? The firemen? The detectives? I have to call someone!" Josie looked down at her sister's limp body in dispair. But, she noticed a small piece of paper on the floor next to Josie's body. This is what it said:

Lena spent her 14th birthday crying over her sister, Josie. She buried Josie in the backyard with their parents. Even though Lena was alone, she knew she had to be strong, not only for herself, but for Josie. She decieded to take her sisters advice and move out of their big expensive house. She planned to live somewhere small with just the nessecesities until she was old enough to move onto a college campus. Lena didn't know where her life would take her from here. I guess we'll all just have to wait and find out.








THE END OF PART I (PART II COMING SOON!)

Hey guys, I know that I've taken some gaps between the updates and it has been a while but my whole computer crapped out on me again. I'm trying to get all my cc back into the game that I just reinstalled and I'm thinking about making Lena Jameson for the third time. But, I really want to know what everyone thinks because I'm not so sure if I want to go through all that trouble if this story isn't very popular. So, do you guys think I should continue or just move on to something new? I do have another idea for a story brewing in my mind at the moment.

I have some bad news. Since there haven't been too many people that tasked me to keep going with this story, I've decieded to move on to something else. I know that there was a few people who read this but it doesn't exactly seem too popular. I might try some other sort of story soon, I'm not sure yet. I also might just enter a bunch of contests or something and see how that goes. So I might be a little busy. I'll get back to you on that.


Sorry everyone, and thanks for reading and for the nice feedback!

Okay well since a few people have asked me to continue this story, I suppose I will continue. It's not that I didn't want to continue, it's just that I felt like this story wasn't as popular as some of the others on this site. But, since you guys would like me to continue, I'll hopefully have another update up soon! Looking foward to writing it for everyone!


Thanks guys, it's so nice to know that people like my story!

:cry: Why did Josie have to die?? :cry:

Post by: mieley on June 17, 2007, 08:56:40 pm
Thanks chocolate.
I know I didnt really explain it or anything, but Josie was just fed up with making decisions and she wasnt happy with the way her life was turning out. She didn't know who the father of her unborn baby was, her boyfriend who she thought she loved turned out to be an ass, and she didnt know wether to keep her child, abort it, put it up for adoption, ect.
So, sadly, she killed herself. I know that she might have been a favorite character but I just had to have her die in the story bc it was needed for the plot to have its full effect.

Just to make you feel better tho, I didn't actually kill her. She's still running around my 'hood, as healthy as ever. She just had to die in the story.

Oye, that was alot of typing.
