The Wrong Love

25: Make Amends

I got up for like the 5th time that morning and walked in to a crying Lyric.

"Baby girl, whats wrong?" I asked a little frustrated. Where is your father? Oh yeah, sleeping. Just like a nigga.  I heard the front door open and close and I got paranoid. I lurked don the steps and saw Aleeyah sneaking in the house.

"What you sneaking for?" I asked and she jumped at my presence as I rocked Lyric in my arms.

"Please dont tell Capo." She pleaded as she approached me.

"Why shouldnt I rat yo' lil bad attitude having ass out?" I asked as I put all my weight on my right hip.

"Im sorry that I've been so rude to you. Its not you its-" She started to speak before she suddenly burst into tears.

"I miss mom and I know he believes its my fault. I didnt mean to and Im sorry. He won't talk to me, barely look at me. I love my brother, but he won give me a chance. I just want my brother back." She cried into my chest and she kind of touched my heart.

"I will talk to Cameron about your relationship, but you cant take your problems out on others."

"I know and Im so sorry. I wanted to try to talk to you when you were in the hospital but I didnt think you wanted to." I felt sorry for the poor child and she just needed someone to vent to. But at the back of my head there is a question wanting to deeply ask. What happened to your momma?

She cleaned her self up and she finished feeding and burped Lyric. Her face lit up as they played together and I saw Capo bring his lil' lazy ass downstairs.

"Hey babe." He said trying to kiss  but I yeet and walked into the kitchen while he stood there dumbfounded.

"Whats wrong with you?" He asked as his arms snaked around my waist.

"Probably the fact that Im tired, I smell like throw up and what have you done?" I asked highly upset with my baby daddy.

"Why didnt you wake me up?" I squinted at him and wanted to slap the ever living shit out of him.

"Why would I wake you up when I could just do it myself?" I was going to staybup and get woke up anyway.

"Babe, Im sorry. Go to sleep and I got her." I know you do. I walked upstairs and lay down and so could get some rest. It felt so good.

Capo POV

When Day when upstairs I saw Aleeyah playing with her. I sat on the couch and waited until she had problems to do my job. She started crying and she quickly handed me her. She wasnt wet or anything like that. She just ate. I sat her in her play pen and she tried to pick up the toys. It got all quiet before it all got hectic. She started to cough uncontrollably and then I saw blood coming. I know she wanted to sleep but this is an emergency. I called 911 even though me and 12 dont really fuck with each other. I woke up Day and she looked as if she was about to cry. Aleeyah comforted her as we rode in the ambulance.

What did I do wrong?
