My tour was finally to a end and as much as I enjoy tour, it always felt good to be home.

Da tour with the girls was good considering the space but it felt good ta have them thea. When we approached the house it was dull. Something felt so off about it.

"Go back ta da car."

"Why?

"Brooke can you do what I ask you to wit out askin' dumb ass questions."

"How is why a dumb ass question?"

"bro do what the fuck I said."

I loved Brooklyn, it was no doubt about it but she was mad annoying at times. She felt like she was a know it all and she was a smart ass so picture being around a mafucka who did all that faithfully.

I went In the house and looked around every where. I don't know why I had a weird ass feeling but this shit was pissing me off. I was a good guy unless I got pushed to do some dumb stuff but other than that I was a family man and I loved my career and thats the only thing I care about but somehow drama just follows me.

But when I stepped into Brooklyns life, demanding her to leave out that abusive ass relationship this was what I was signing up for.

Even knowing everything her parents did and how crazy they were I still decided to marry her so I couldn't even complain about how much shit I go through just dealing with her.

going back outside I opened up the back seat and began grabbing our bags. "Y'all can go in now."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah mama. its coo."

after we got settled we was laying up in the bed and my mama called.

Ive been begging her to move down here but she acted like something was still out there for her for some reason.

The conversation was short before hanging up.

We basically planned for her to fly out here tomorrow just because with everything going o, we haven't seen each other.

The rest of the day we chilled at the crib.

Brooklyn

Being home felt amazing. I missed being able to shower in my own shower and most importantly I missed being in my bed and being able to stretch as far as I wanted to in it.

Everything was good except august. I don't know what the hell got into him but I was starting to get irritated with him because every since we got home he's been acting distant and bothered.

For what? I literally have no clue.

Going down the stairs he was on the couch with Lani on his lap. They were both eating grapes while he was occupied with his phone an she was watching Spongebob.

"Goodmorning."

"Mornin'."

"Im not even gonna sit here and beat around the bush cause it obvious somethings up. So what the fuck is the problem?"

He chuckled and just looked at me.

"All I know is you betta watch your tone."

"No. I mean we've been together for how long? your still acting like a kid."

"Fa one aint shit wrong. and for two im acting like a kid how?"

"Ever since we got home you've been acting off. I just wanna know whats up."

"Nothin is up, aight?"

"I didn't mean to come off as a bitch."

"You did jus a little bit."

"Were just a team and I want everything discussed. I know that stuff with my mom went down and I know you didn't forget about it and I of course didn't either. So if something is wrong or if you peeped something please let me know."

"I gotchu baybeh. Go ahead and go ta work."

"Okay. I love you." I pecked his lips.

"I luh you mo."

"And I love you stinky." I kissed Lani then tickled her feet. "Bye."

and I was off to work.

August

"Hey boy."

"Wassup mama." I said helping her bring some of her bags in.

"Wea Brooklyn?"

"She just went ta work."

"Oh okay. Is dat my Sweetie pie?"

"nanaaaaa." Lani ran up to her.

"Hi baybeh. You been good?"

"Yup."

"So why daddy tell me he caught you downstairs at one in da morning tryna sneak a snack."

"I was hungry nana." she giggled.

"Lani go play fa a little while I talk ta ya nana."

"Whats up boy."

"Nothin'. Some stuff been bothering' me."

"Stuff like what?"

"So ya know about Brooke and ha family and stuff?"

"Yeah she tol me awhile ago."

"So even afta us moving' past all that ha mom call ha. That really started it all right there because she entertained it. I guess ha pops dying and they want money. They told ha he left her a million dollars at dey old house an-"

"If they left a million dollars there why they won't use dat money fa him?"

"THANK YOU. but anyway, She wrote him fa whatever reason an then she asked me if she could go get it. I told ha no an that was an argument right Thea. She went anyway when I was on tour and I found out. While she was Thea, her and ha mama got into a altercation and she started threatening ha and shit. and ever since then I just got a weird feeling since we been back at da house and its pissing me off."

"Brooke Brooke Brooke." She shook ha head. "You want the nice advice or da new Orleans typa advice?"

"Hit me wit da New Orleans."

"If someone really cared about you, you wouldn't have ta constantly feel attacked. I kno you love Brooklyn baybeh. But do you love yourself? Do you love Lani? Those two people always need ta come first before ANYONE ELSE. Even me. So maybe y'all don't need ta be together. You got a child ta live fa, shit I don't wanna see you dead and gone ova ha. I love Brooklyn an she's a beautiful person but fa ha daughtas sake atleast, she should jus sign ova custody and focus on dat situation or something'."

Sitting there, no I wasn't thinking about leaving Brooklyn. I made a promise ta ha I would Neva leave even when shit got tough. But my mom made major points but I couldn't just leave Brooklyn ta deal wit dis shit. It jus wasn't happening.

Brooklyn

They must didn't hear me come in the house but what I just heard just pissed me the fuck off. So you want me to sign custody over a child I carried and birthed?

That alone just didn't even sound right. I know I come with a lot of baggage but that doesn't mean I don't deserve my baby. If I didn't do anything right, I had a healthy pregnancy and I raised her perfectly fine so far.

"Wassup baybeh."

I said nothing, I just looked in disbelief.

"You tell me."

he laughed, "Man whats up wit you mama?"

"Im not gone even sit here like im not bothered. You want me to sign over my rights sheila?"

I said that knowing it would catch her off guard cause I always call her mama sheila but I was beyond irritated with her.

"Its not even like that Brooklynn."

"How come its not?"

"I'm just saying maybe for the time being. So you can things situated with out putting my son and grand daughter in danger."

"Your son put me and his daughter in danger multiple times but let my family do something crazy a few times, I deserved my family to be taken away from me? Huh? That's bullshit."

"Brooke Chill." August grabbed my waist.

"No! Get the fuck out."

"excuse me?"

"You heard me Sheila. How dare you sit here and tell me I basically don't deserve to be around my daughter?"

"Brooke you ain't bout to talk to my ma like you crazy. Y'all both need to to talk it out maybe tomorrow when y'all wake up or sum but nah y'all ain't disrespecting eachotha in front of me."

"Get her out my house or both of you can go." I said feeling the tears swell in my eyes.

Lately I've been having bad outbreaks, sometimes I felt as if I was mentally crazy. But then I defended my self and just began believing that I'm not crazy, I've just been through way to much.

Sheila and I were always so close, so I was confused as to why she was doing all this? It made no sense to me.

"Come on." August picked me up taking me up the stairs.

I didn't even try to break free because he never would loosen his grip. When we got to the room he through me on the bed and locked the door.

"What tha fuck is your problem?"

"Your sneak dissing ass mama is the problem. And the fact you weren't defending me made no sense."

"Did you hea what I said? Or even what she fully said? You walked in on conversation you wasn't even in. You heard bits and pieces and got mad."

"Hearing that I need to sign over full custody to you is more than enough of what I need to hear. I don't want her staying here. Point blank period. Shouldn't she be worried ima get her killed or something?"

"What tha fuck got into you bro?"

"So you don't think what she said was fucked up?"

"It was but at da same time she mean well fa ha son and ha granddaughter. Baybeh, you know she love you and she wasn't saying it full term-"

"Nigga are you considering it?"

"Bro did I fuckin' say I was considering it? God damn you don't do shit but run that fuckin' mouth. I said she wasn't saying it like a foreva typa thing and even if she was you should kno I wouldn't leave you alone ta deal wit dis."

"I know that aug. it's the fact she still said that. That hurt."

"Remeba when you said if I ain't quit the drug mess you and da baybeh would leave?"

"Mmhm."

"Same situation mama. Except I ain't leaving. We gon end dese mafuckas aight?"

"Okay."

"Go take you a shower and I'll bring yo dinna up hea. Y'all need to be apart until both y'all calm down."

"Fine."

***

"You know I didn't mean ta hurt your feelings right?" Mama Sheila said assuringly.

"I know. I just already felt like a lot of things were my fault and it hurt to actually hear someone say."

"Your an amazing motha and you make my son so happy. Happier den I eva did. And you changed him and I'm beyond grateful dat. I just want y'all to get this situation."

"we will hopefully."

"Just be careful. Das all I can say."

Nodding I ate a few more pieces of bacon, we just had a long talk about the whole situation and honestly I didn't know how to feel about it.

I still felt a way but I ignored it and brushed it off in hopes it would just go away.

Going upstairs aug was playing on his game with Lani in the bed still sleeping.

"How'd it go?"

"It was good, I guess."

"Stop actin like dat bae."

"Fine." I pouted. "What are we doing today?"

"Anything you want beautiful."

"In that case.."

This was long over due and I'm sorry but I need motivation.
