What One Man Won't Do Another Man Will

Chapter 19

I've been having a hard week. I've been really depressed. I just miss my momma and my son and I really hate Treshawn. "Baby?", I heard Sean ask. I ignored him. "Michael let me in." Of course. "You want somethin' to eat or drink?" No I want you to leave me alone the fuck. Then again I want him to cuddle me and tell me that everything will be alright. "I gotta go but I'll be back later I promise." Don't leave me stay! "No, I'm stayin'. Let me make a call real quick then I'll be back."

...

As I lowly cried somebody got in bed with me. It's Sean. He pulled me to him. "Baby talk to me, what's wrong?", he asked. I shook my head saying nothing. "I know somethin' is wrong baby. Just let me know what it is so I can try to fix it."

"I miss them Sean and I hate him. He took away my baby and my momma.", I cried.

"Baby it's gone be okay. I know you hurtin' right now but it will get better, I promise. Baby I need you to eat somethin'. I don't want you to end up in the hospital. I don't know what I would do if I somethin' happened to you."

"Okay."

"What you want to eat?", he asked.

"I don't know. I'll cook somethin'.", I said sniffing.

"No imma cook for you baby."

"Okay."

...

After I ate and talked to Sean I started feeling better. We just made it to their graves.

Sean held my hand as we walked to my momma's grave. I talked to her for a minute then Sean gave me some flowers to put on her grave.

When we made it to King's grave I broke down and I don't know why. I almost fell to the ground but Sean caught me. He put the flowers down still holding me up. "Come on baby.", he said. I couldn't move. He picked me up and took me to the car.

...

I jumped up out of my bed and ran to King's room. "King?!", I called looking for him. I ran through the house looking for him.

I had the craziest dream. Somebody killed my baby.

As I ran through the house I ran into Sean. "Where's King?", I asked.

"Baby come back to bed.", he said.

"Where is he?"

"Baby he's dead." I wasn't a dream.

My mouth opened but nothing came out. He's right. My baby is dead.
