The Lyon For Me

Four

Next day...

I woke up and I breathed in and felt happier than ever. I didn't remember why until I felt like that until I turned around to see Jamal's sleeping face. I kissed his nose and moved his arm from around my waist. I got washed and put on his shirt to make breakfast.

I actually don't know if he is gonna stick by what he said yesterday or what but I was going I relish in it. I was making waffles when I felt two strong wrap around my waist and soft kiss on my shoulder.

"Hey babe" Mal said "Hey"  I said my happiness going at a all time high. I spun around and pecked his lips "So have you decided what you're going to do today" I said playing the hem on his pants.

"I don't know I have unfinished business to cover wit you" he said pulling me into a kiss then there was a knock on the door "Bae I have to get the door ...Mal... Lemme get the door please" he groaned and rolled his eyes I laughed and turned off the stove then went to open the door.

"Sup ma" Hakeem said smiling at me I moved aside and he came in "So why are you half dressed" he said teasing me, I swallowed remembering who was in my bedroom "Oh I forgot let me go put something on"  I said running into my room.

Jamal was sitting on the bed and playing on his phone "Mal it's Hakeem he's sitting in my living room"  he sprung up  "What why" I shrugged "Well we did go out yesterday but now I feel bad" he shrugged and walked out though I told him not to.

"Jamal what are you doing here? Where's Mia" I heard Hakeem say to Jamal "I think the question is what are you doing here "the jealously was  evident in his voice making smile the tiniest bit.

"I was gonna ask her a question but now Neverminnd.... Wait why is she wit you after what you said to her" the question surprised me I wish I could tell him maybe then he wouldn't be hurt.

"That's none of your business Keem and since you don't have anything else to say to her or me I think you should go" Mal said sternly "Whatever man I'm out"I heard Hakeem say I flopped on the bed hating myself a little bit.

I'm tearing apart a family and all because I'm being selfish. Jamal came back inside and kissed my cheek "What's wrong babe" I shook my head and smiled. He can't know no matter what he can't.

"Nothing just something that's happened" he frowned but let it go, I suggested we go to Empire and work on his writers block .When we for there we saw Cookie who immediately grabbed my arm and dragged me off to a empty room.

"You little bitch ...I don't know who you think you are tryna pit my sons against each other but it ain't gon work they can smell your little lies and gon figure it out" I shook my head holding my cheek where she smacked me "Ms. Lyon you got it... " she smacked me again harder this time.

"Did I say you could talk? No! So shut up! Now who put you up to this was it Lucious cause he the only one who would?" I held my cheek still and stood up "Ms. Lyon!!! Lucious didn't tell me to tear your sons away from each other... I'm not trying to do that I only hung out with Keem once but during that time I did not expect me and Mal to happen" she narrowed her eyes at me and looked me up and down.

She snatched her bag from off the floor "You lucky I believe you else I woulda kicked your little hussy ass" I rolled my eyes fed up with both parents of this family. She huffed and left slamming the door behind her. I breathed heavily angry tears streaming down my face.

"God please give me the strength" I mumbled walking out of the room. I looked around to see Jamal no where in sight. I asked for directions to the recording area and walked with a  sorrow filled look on my face.

I walked in to hear Jamal singing 'Tell The Truth' . I smiled at him and he slammed his headphones against the wall "HOW ARE YOU GONNA TRY AND PIT ME UP AGAINST MY BROTHER AND FOR MY FATHER!!!" he spat harshly at me. I flinched away from the wall "Mal I..I... I'm not trying to do that I wouldn't do that" he started to come out the both with steam rising off his head.

I backed away until my back was against the door "LIAR... WHAT WAS MY MOMMA TALKIN ABOUT THEN!!" I slid down the wall tears steaming down my face I curled into a ball I wasn't coming out of.

After a minute of silence he went to touch me and I flinched again. He sighed and pulled me into him. I was shaking fear, anger, and sadness running through me. He rubbed my side and shhed me "Look in sorry so many people have tried to do things like this to me and brothers so I ..." I shook him off getting up and screaming.

"OH I DON'T CARE! DO I LOOK LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE TO YOU... NOOOOO SO WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT ABOUT ME THE PERSON YOU'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS!!" my frustration with everything pouring out of me.

He stood up and tried to reach out to me but I shook him off. I didn't want anyone to touch me I was through with Lyon family absolutely through. I ran out passing Cookie who had guilt spread across her face. Bitch. I wanted to say but to end my issues would only get worse and to be honest it's not her fault. I would've thought the same thing.

She didn't do anything I wouldn't have done. She's a mother tryna protect get children and I respect that. I kept running and running until I got to my home where I slammed the door and cried.

It was a couple hours later when I heard a knock at the door. I had tiny hope it was Jamal trying to apologize but no it was a rose like the one from yesterday 'Well done fool fix this now -Lucious' I threw the rose and trashed the note.

"This is your fault.... Ahhhh.... You... You did this you..... Ughhhhh..... why can't you just.... Leave me alone Lucious" I yelled while throwing everything in sight. I curled up on the floor in the dark and wept.

I didn't know what else to do . I'm gonna lose everything. Everything.
