"Yes." I remark standing in front of the door.

"We need to talk."

"About-"

"Kera Montana-"

"No! If you're here to talk about Korea you can go home. Excuse me, but I have a lot of my plate while she's finding a reason to argue. I don't want to talk right now. I have to feed my son and head to the work."

"I don't like the way you're talking to me at all. I'm still your father and you should respect me." He spat pointing his finger.

Yeah, I was being a little rude but two things, I'm an adult and this is my house.

I stepped outside pulling the door with me.

"Fine let's talk." I crossed my arms.

"This is why you're not changing. I know you're a grown woman but this has to stop. Your here today because of me, so think again."

"Don't tell me what I need to do because you're not perfect!"

I don't need my own father to tell me my flaws while he has many of them. I don't need him to agree with her shit and expect me to apologize. Of course I was being disrespectful now but you should know right from wrong.

Layla still hadn't come down from her room. She hadn't really ate anything in a few days and I didn't know what to do with this situation honestly. She doesn't want to talk, or eat. I can't force her too do things I just want her better.

I sat on the couch eating a sandwich and watching the sports as usual. Marlon was sleeping on my lap, and it kind felt of lonely without the rest of the kids. I rubbed his fur hearing footsteps from the stairs.

Layla appeared in front on me with big puffy red eyes and a heart full of sadness. I was just glad to see her come out of her room.

"Can I talk to you?" She asked sitting beside me.

"Of course baby girl."

"After finding Mace dead and Major breaking up with me. I am depressed. But I don't want to be anymore. If something was bothering me I'd always cuddle with Mace because he'd make me feel better a lot of the times. I had him since I was eight. He was my best friend. I know some people may think this isn't a big deal but it hurts to have someone you connect to leave."

"I know and it is a big deal.... I still love your mom. When she left it wasn't nothing I could do at that point. We still have you, your sisters and brother to connect to but it hurts not being able to see her every morning. Your mom and I been together for a long time. Before you were even born. It's almost like what did I do? Just take things one day at a time. That's all I can say. Because each day it'll hurt less and less." She nodded. "But I do know that I love you very much. I don't wanna see you hurt."

"I love you too dad." She side hugged me.
"You think we can put some flowers on his grave and see if we can adopt one of his babies?"

A year or two ago (Dave East' girl dog; Kay) did have puppies and Mace is the father. It was one of the weirdest moments because whenever Dave would come over Mace and Kay would always be together and we found out what they were doing. But I think it would be a good idea to have one of Mace' puppies.
