Closing the front door i sit on the first step. I rest my elbows on my knees and think about what Dallas said. Was i really being unreasonable because i didnt want to talk to a woman that was rude to me the first time i met her.

She may have been angry because my momma was killed but she didnt have to get in my face and yell at me demanding things. It reminded me of what the man use to do to me. He use to beat and rape me for no reason so why would i let someone else yell at me? Only so they could do the same?

I'm mad at Dallas for saying something so....... I can't even think of a word. But he wasn't worrying about my emotion when he said it. My anger is slowly fading though because i dont think he meant it in that way.

He said that he didnt mean it and he apologised many times. I cant stay mad at him and i dont know why that.

"Why you sad?" I jump and turn to look at Savannah coming out of the front door with Mikey on her heels.

"It's nothing." i say with a small smile trying to act okay. "How are you?"

I try to change the subject but shes not allowing that. "You need to act God forgiveneth becauth you lied. Uncle Dallas wath yellin at you." she states and i look at her confused. Why would i ask him for forgiveness?

"How do you know?"

She purses her lips and sits on the step beside me. "You thream and i came down thairs and theen you yellin at Uncle Dallas."

Looking out at the road i notice a truck pulling up in the drive. "Well it's over and you dont need to worry about it." When the truck gets closer i stand to go back inside but someone grabs my hand.

Looking down i see Mikey's little hand in mine. "It juth Mark. You don't need to be thared."

"Can we play?" i ask them because im still afraid around him. We havn't really had conversation and i dont really plan on it this soon. Meeting Houston today and then yelling at Dallas in his house was enough.

Savannah and little Mikey nod excitedly and i run off down the porch and into the yard farthest away from Mark's parking truck. "What do you want to play?"

"Thoccer." Mikey says excitedly and i smile nodding at him. Two car doors close and i look up to see Mark and a woman getting out of his truck. They look over in the yard and smile. Marks gives a wave and i give a small one back wanting to be polite.

Mikey goes to get the ball giving the woman and Mark a hug on the way in the house. He keeps the door open for them and they walk in.

Dallas:

...

Mikey busts the door against the wall when he runs in the house shouting questions on where his soccer ball is.

"That kid." says a new voice and i look up from my coffee to see Mark and Eva. Surprised i get up to greet them.

"Hello Evangeline how have you been?" I ask giving her hand a kiss.

She gives me a big smile gray eyes shinning. "I'm pregnant."

I smile and nod at her excitement. "Yes, Mark told us last week."

She looks at Mark and punches him in the shoulder. "Ouch woman i couldn't keep it in."

"Well that's why we came but my HUSBAND didn't tell me he already told you all."
