"I'm ready to go back to school" jr told me as he sat on the chair beside me, eating while I played in Brielle's hair while she slept on my lap

"I thought you hated school?"

"I do. But my girlfriend there. I know she looking for me ma"

I rolled my eyes at my son "whatever jr. You'll be back Monday"

"Monday? That's a lot of days away"

"Today is Friday, jr"

"But it's not Monday"

"I..." I let out a breath "just hush"

He laughed and I went back to playing in her hair. Shy came down the hall reaching into his pocket as he walked straight out the door. Once he was gone jr looked at me

"you and my daddy mad at each other?"

"Who says we mad at each other "

"Cause he be sleeping in the other room and y'all don't talk"

"Me and your daddy are not mad at each other"

He nodded and focused on tv again. After a while shy came back into the house

"Jr you ridin with me?" He asked and jr hopped off of the chair quick ad hell

"Hold up. I gotta put my plate up and put on some real clothes" his little grown ass said before going off to the kitchen. I couldn't help but laugh and shake my head before looking down at brielle

"I went yesterday" shy randomly blurted out

"Where?" I blandly replied, still keeping my eyes on my daughter

"To take a test. It should come back next week so you can stop doubting me"

"I'm not doubting you for no reason"

"I told you I ain fuck that girl"

"You also told me you love me yet it never fails that somehow I'm always the only person out of EVERYBODY getting hurt in the end"

"Really bri?"

"Yes really" I finally looked up at him but not for long. I could feel my eyes start to water up so I rolled them

"I hate being mad at you"

"I know you mad at me right now, but when all this over with ima make it up to you"

"Shy-"

"I mean I know I can't make it up.. but ima try to the best way I can. You don't deserve none of the shit I put you through"

"I don't but trust and believe, I ain worried bout this happening nomore" I told him while picking Brielle up and walked down the hall to go to the room, passing jr

"AHHHHHHHHH" Hendrix ran around the living room in circles, yelling. I had just finished talking to my momma on the phone while Benji sat beside me laughing

"Why did you give him all that candy? Now he's your problem tonight"

"Leave him alone. The nigga birthday tomorrow. Let his ass get chocolate wasted in peace" Benji said to me while putting kinsley down on the ground. She walked off to where Kyran was and once she got to him, he got up and moved to another spot in the floor
