so he said she s a miracle baby. that s what he says. cowin and his parents helped raise the baby for the first year, but eventually all parties decided she would be better off with alexandria mcbride s parents. what s up, man? what s going on? all right. as for cowin and lara, they wound up in the same housing unit, and rather than compete for mcbride s affections, they ve become friends instead. yeah. whose daughter is she? talk to me about that. well, you know, that s my daughter, all right. but it s a chance that it might be his daughter, too, right? but if he s she has his last name, and he s been taking care of, who am i to speak or even say anything? but there are no hard feelings between you two? me and him? not at all, man.
get mad because you know, when you love somebody, you know what i m saying, you re mad when they re with somebody else. but he was gone for five years. but i don t know. i love him still. i ll always love him. if you could get back with alexandria again, would you? get back with her like together, man, no. i ain t doing that. i can t do that to myself. i can t even do it to her. so i ll be her friend, though, and i ll always be there for her. but as par as being her man and all that, no, i can t do that. oh, man. i love jake. i ve got a new girl. that s a different type of girl, like one that i should keep and be nice to. so i m trying like to learn to be right, you know, because i really don t know. whether she is with cowin or not, mcbride will soon leave jail and must again attempt to control her drug addiction in order to raise her two children.
amen. that s based on ephesians there. during this stay at the jail cowin can t help but to also have thoughts about another former girlfriend who s currently doing time in the female wing. she was there for me, man. like solid. couldn t be no more solid than her, you know. alexandria mcbride says cowin is the father of her daughter. jake. that s like the first guy i ever loved. that was a crazy life. we do have a lot of memories of what happened. what happened? he went to prison for five years. i shot somebody at a bar. it was self-defense pretty much. it was a fight that got out of hand. and the dude pulled a knife, cut me, i pulled my gun out and shot him, right? everybody told on me. they all sung. right? i was like, man, what? she said it was hard for her, whatever, right? and she split. and pretty much dogged me, you know. couple years later he got out. and he was probably i think whenever he used to look at me, he used to just be like
