Brooklyn

Waking up the next morning, I got ready and Kyrie did too.

I was currently going to my old child hood house to meet up with my mother to get my money and to talk I guess.

Kyrie was gonna be there every step of the way so I wasn't really worried about anything, I just was nervous for the outcome.

On the way there all that kept replaying in my head is augusts words.

They don't give a fuck about you.

If that nigga sick they would used that money not ask you for some.

And I had my doubts but before I could even say turn around, we were already pulling up.

"You ready champ?" He nudged my arm.

"No not really."

"We don't gotta do dis. I ain't know aug ain't want you to go otherwise me and you wouldn't even be here."

"I should of told you but I just felt like I'm a big girl I can handle these kind of things."

"Well lets go."

We knocked on the door and she opened it with a warm smile.

A smile I had missed.

I mugged her walking passed her into the house like she wasn't even there. As much as I just wanna hug my mom like the old days, I was here for the two things I came for.

I claimed my seat on the couch and they did the same thing, with her sitting on the couch across from us.

"You look beautiful. Where's Kehlani?"

"Oh now you care about my daughter?" I spat.

"Oh honey, I been cared about my granddaughter, you took her away from me."

"Did I really? Or was I forced too because I was afraid of what your physco ass would of did to us."

"Oh now I'm physco? Can't be that If your sitting on the couch in my home by choice."

"I just wanna know why the fuck you still talking to my dad like you didn't find out he had two kids on you AND not only that, he raped me. Why? Why bitch?"

"You fucking stop Brooklyn! I swear you get disrespectful more and more every time! Bitch I can talk to whoever I want. You don't have to talk to him you already got the man locked up! That was my husband of 20 years. I can do that if I want too."

"And I told you if you wanted to be with a nigga that's in jail instead of with your daughter and your granddaughter that on you. Did I not say that?"

"You wanna keep her away from me so bad. She will never get that grandparent experience because her mother is a dumb bitch."

"Oh quit all the nonsense. My baby got a grandmother and that's augusts mom and that's all that matters. So quit playing with me."

"Fuck you and her. How about that? I tried to be nice to your dumb ass but you wanna keep being disrespectful every time I see you like I ain't birth your ass and take care of you."

"Bitch with our that tape you would be somewhere not in America with your non documented ass. Quit playing with me for real."

And just like that she jumped up and punched me dead in my face. Being me I got up somehow and we began fighting.

Kyrie pulled me off of her but she kept trying to attack me so he held her back and I stood back putting my hair in a bun.

"You've crossed me way to many times bitch. I should call the fucking police."

"And say what? Your in my house that restraining order doesn't mean shit."

Nodding I let a bitter laugh and left out the house with Kyrie following me.

"Ima have someone kill your stupid Ass! Just watch."

Was her last words she yelled before we pulled off. Kyrie got the impression I wasn't in the mood to talk so he left it alone.

When we got to the hotel and he sat and watched tv and I got in the shower.

It's so hard to act like everything is okay with iu no I her when it's not. I mean we can't even have a civil conversation without some shots or slick comments being thrown.

I mean all I said was "now you care about my daughter."

It's true, my daughter is four years old and even before I placed the restraining order she still wasn't around because she was somewhere up my dads ass before he got sent to jail.

And three years later she still has yet tried to make things right with me. Yeah she's called she's tried a lot of things but not once have I gotten a genuine apology. So until then it was fuck her.

When I got out the shower I laid in the bed and Kyrie laid in the other.

I thought he was sleep until he turned around and looked at me.

"You was in the shower for a good two hours so I think yo little ass calmed down now."

"I guess." I shrugged.

"I think you should just leave that woman alone. She ain't shit."

"Yeah I've noticed. I know I said something slick but I'm not in the wrong and I have every right to feel the way I do. She should be bowing down kissing my feet at the way she's treated me in these last few years. But for some reason she want someone to kiss her ass."

"Nah Facts. Jus forget about her man. You've been doing amazing with out them. You coo man."

"Your right. I don't know the hell I keep trying."

"Cause you love them which you should. But you don't need em so leave me alone ight."

"Okay."

"Big headed ass."

"Shut up."

***

When we woke up, we went on two different planes. We both were going back home.

I missed my baby. She literally was the one person who could light my whole world up with her little smile.

And the fact she can talk now makes everything so much better. Well she can somewhat talk.

But still, she's love me and I love her way more and it's crazy cause no matter how many times I tell her she's my world and that I love her so much she will never fully understand because it's out of this world.

And I love my son just as much. Him dying built me up in so many ways. I'm not effected by it a lot anymore because I've come to a realization that it wasn't my fault and it was no way I could prevent it.

But that's my angel baby and he's made me a better woman because he made me so low but I realized how much I can do through god and through him.

So I'm beyond happy for my children.

Pulling up to the house, Candice and Lani we're watching spongebob.

"Hi baby." I cooed.

"Hi mommy."

"How was she?"

"A angel." Candice said sarcastically.

"Don't do my baby."

"Nah you know she was good. I was tired of playing tea party for sure."

I laughed and shook my head. My baby loved tea parties.

"But I gotta tell you some bad news. Have you spoke to aug?"

"No. Not since yesterday. Why what's up?"

"He came by this morning. He said his next show was a hour away from the house so he thought he would stop by. And you weren't here. I told him you were running errands because I didn't wanna say something and then y'all end up talking and you tell him something else."

"Fuck." I groaned throwing my hair back. "I don't know what ima say."

"Just tell him the truthhhh." She sung.

"Shut up. I am."

"I wanna be here when y'all talk. He bout to light your ass up."

"Girl."

I pulled my phone out my back pocket and FaceTimed August.

"Hey baby."

"Waddup."

"What are you doing?"

"Jus wondering."

"What are you wondering about?"

"Why tha fuck you keep playin' wit me."

"What are you talking about." I laughed.

"wHaT aRe yOu tAlKiNg aBoUt? Man stop playin wit me." He mocked.

"No what are you talking about seriously?"

I said holding back my laugh at his antics.

"I came by da house a few hours ago. I'm sure Candice told you. So wea was you at?"

"Don't be mad."

"Brooke quit playin' wit me."

"Promise me you won't be mad and I'll tell you." I whined.

"Man bi-" He stopped and let out a frustrating breathe. "Where was you at bruh? Stop da bullshit befo I beat yo ass bro."

"I went to Houston."

The line was quiet before he spoke, I knew he was gathering his words before he spoke. He was always silent before he dogged someone.

"You was wea?"

"Houston."

"And you went afta I tol yo ass not to? Nah not even that, two days ago you said you was at da sto wit Candice. Awl wait a minute, you tol me Lani was wit a nanny. So not only did you not listen ta me, you lied ta my face two times."

"I technically didn't lie to your face, we were on FaceTime."

Candice started uncontrollably laughing which pissed him off more.

"Ah he he ha ha. I'm glad y'all think dis shit funny. Brooke yo ass grimey. We four years into dis shit and you still lyin'? You still on dat lame shit? You grown as hell, I wasn't telling you, you couldn't go. I just tol you that you aint need too. But you still did and lied about it."

"Babe it's not like that. I didn't mean to lie to you I just didn't want you to act like this. You would of acted this same way even if I didn't lie."

"Man ion give a fuck. I would of respected you a lot mo if you would of jus tol me what yo grown hard headed ass was doin. So what? What da fuck did you get out of it?"

"Nothing at all."

"Exactly. No fuckin' money. And what? You and yo mama coo na?"

"No." I muttered.

"Exactly. You as dumb as they come. But nobody wanna listen to aug right? Aug lecture to much, aug talk to much. Nah aug give a fuck about Mafuckas that don't give a fuck about they selves. And what's dat on yo lip?"

"She busted it." I mumbled.

"She what?"

"Busted it god damn."

"Wow. Yeah you goofy ass hell." He laughed.

"She said she going to have somebody kill me August."

"Oh I don't give a fuck. You deal wit dat shit. I'm done wit you. I can't trust you enough not to lie about no dumb shit then I know I can't trust you about no real shit. It's over with. And since you got dem mafuckas afta' you I'm takin' my daughta. Ima get full custody too. Don't call ma phone unless it's about my daughta."

And he hung up.

"Okay I know I said I wanted to laugh but that was so not funny." Candice said.

"Girl shut the fuck up." I said now annoyed.

I love Candice I truly did but she was childish at times when it wasn't needed.

I went upstairs and Just lost it.

I brought Brooke ass some flowas and everything earlier.

Ta Find out she went to Houston afta I told her no had a nigga furious. Oh wait dats not all, she lied ta my face about it twice.

She had two times ta tell me what was really goin' on but she decided ta keep lying.

I wasn't going to leave ha I just did all that so she could learn a lesson or two.

And y'all should know I wouldn't leave ha ta deal wit ha nut ass family alone. I had dat unda control.

My tour wasn't over for a few mo weeks but I had a plan fa dat.

But she was gon suffer a lul bit. I was tired of being taken as a joke.
