"Na'Veah come get lunch" she was sitting in the living room looking thought the photo album! She's been doing this ever since Layah left! Ever thought she's seen the pictures about a million times ever time she sees the picture of me , her and , Layah she smiles! She even has a big one on the wall in her room ! She always asks me to tell her what Layah was like!
"Hey dad" She said jumping on the counter grabbing her plate
"Yeah"
"Did you and mom ever fight" I really don't want her to find out about how I used to live because the it will end up to the day Layah left ! But I believe she's old enough to know the whole situation I'm not sure how to tell her though
"Yeah" She put her head down
"So that's why she left me" She started to cry
"NOOO baby" I picked her head up with my fore finger and kissed her nose "She left because I was very abusive , do you know what abusive means ?" She nodded "She had left the house for a couple of hours and she came back and was in rage"
"Why"
"Because you we're crying and I pinched you"
"Oh okay , umm go on"
I sighed
"Umm , then I was very intoxicated , you know what that means" She shook her head 'no' "It means that daddy was under the no in the right state of mind"
"Mhm"
"Mommy was yelling at daddy so daddy hit mommy"
"It's ok you were under the influ--
"NO IT'S NOT OK NO MAN SHOULD EVER PUT THERE HANDS ON YOU--
"Knock Knock" Who the hell us at my damn door this better be fucking door in the pouring rain this better be good!
I stomped to the door and opened it to see the woman I hurt so many times , my first REAL love , the mother of my child
"Ai'Layah ?"
