Awake || Chris Brown Story

Chapter 8

I leaned a bit closer, "What does the punishment consist of?" I asked

"Putting us in the hallway closet for an hour." He said

"Then when we ask to come out to pee, she tells us no." Milani added

"And, Milani is really scared of the closet because Rachel has told her scary stories about things that happened in the closet then makes her go in there during her punishments, and she cries." Messiah said

I was furious, I didn't know whether to curse him out for not telling me sooner, or to call Chris and curse him out for allowing this bitch to even watch my children, or to go find Rachel.

"Mom, I hate it there! She's so mean to us, then when dad comes home she acts like nothing ever happened, can we come stay with you and grandma?" Messiah asked

"I'll try to arrange that but until then, we need to fix the current problem." I said

"Is there anything else she does besides the things you just told me?" I asked

They both shook their heads, "Are you sure?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm sure." Messiah said and Milani nodded

"If there's anything else, you tell me." I said

"Oh— and one time Daddy was gone at work one night and Rachel thought I was asleep but I got up to go to the bathroom and I seen another man there." Milani added

"Lani!" Messiah said and kicked her

"What?!" She said and kicked him back

I nodded to myself, "Hmm."

The rest of the day, we went to the park and then walked home since It was a nice day. We ended the night by playing a few games with each other and afterwards, they took their baths and were down for the night.

I tried to remain calm and not say anything since we're already on bad terms, but I couldn't hold it in, I texted Chris;

You not only left me for my best friend but you leave my kids with her as well, not knowing all of the horrible things she does to them behind your back..
11:02 PM

Chris: 🙄 what you talking about now, Ky?
11:04 PM

So you really don't know, huh?
11:05 PM

Chris: if you weren't gonna tell me there was no point in you texting me.
11:08 PM

I'd prefer to discuss it in person so I can knock you in your shit for it, what time are you picking the kids up tomorrow?
11:12 PM

Chris: woah woah, the hostility! What I do???
11:14 PM

Chris: I'll be there at 5 , damn.
11:15 PM

I didn't reply back, I put my phone on the charger which was at 14%. I made me some more ice cream and climbed into bed next to Milani. I tried to doze off a few times after I finished my ice cream but it was almost impossible, I could only think about and replay what Rachel does to them, and the more I thought about it the more I wanted to call her, or meet up with her and just go off.
