Milo Delavan
Thursday morning, December 18th
I just finished dropping the kids off to Anais' crib. They were ecstatic to be there and I was glad they loved they mama so much.

It was gold seeing their faces light up when they were around her. They got like that with me and Luca for the most part. But Anais? Forget about it.

Now I was on my way to Abella's to carry out the bright idea Luca had the other day. She blocked me on everything so the only thing I could do was show up at her door. But I had a bunch of gifts and a plate of her favorite food. There was no way she wouldn't at least just let me talk to her.

I was nervous though. Her two brothers coulda been over. Them muh fuckas were gigantic. They look like they bite folks too. I wasn't tryna lose one of my arms to them.

But honestly I'd do anything for Abella. We done been through so much. Why wouldn't I?

I took a deep breath before I knocked on her door. I shook as many nerves that I could out of my body. Then I wiped my sweaty palms on the back of my denim jeans. Now I was just waiting for her to answer. It didn't take long before she got to the door.

But when she opened it and saw me, her facial expression fell flat. She folded her arms and looked me up and down.

"Look. Leave the bags outside. I don't want any of your gifts. My forgiveness cannot be bought. I'm telling you that right now." She scoffed.

"Are you gonna let me in?" I asked.

She took a deep breath, stepping to the side. I took the bags inside or her crib anyways but set them next to her front door. Then she closed it behind me and waited for me to speak.

"How you been?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders."Good. Better. Amazing. You?"

"I been aight." I nodded.

She rolled her eyes. "Why are you here then?"

"I just needed closure. Our relationship did end kind of abruptly. And you blocked me on everything so...this was the only way I could talk to you." I shrugged.

"Closure? What are all those bags then?" She asked.

I chuckled a bit. She got me. "Gifts."

"Well I don't want them." She spat.

"That's fine by me. But all I'm asking is if you could just hear me out Bella." I sighed.

She looked at me dead in the eyes. Then she took a deep breath, looking away. "Make it quick."

"Aight. I wanna apologize again for all the shit that happened the other day. But it took me a while to realize I'd been taking you for granted. Like I treated you like this naive and clueless person. That was fucked up on my part. I ain't mean for anything to blow out of proportion. And in some ways, I had your best interest at heart. Like I didn't want you to get hurt. I was only trying to protect your heart. I did some fucked up shit, yes. But I did it out of love for you. And I still love you Abella. Ion think I'm ever gone move on from you. Like word to...I can't see myself with nobody else. Today would've been our 4 year. Made a nigga realize I can't throw sum like what we had, away." I spoke, basically pouring my heart out to shawty. Letting her see me vulnerable.

She took a deep breath, processing what I said. Then she replied. "Listen Milo...I don't think you understand this but, there is only so much a girl could take. Especially when they love someone. You went above and beyond to protect my feelings but...it was unnecessary. Because either way if you'd just been honest with me from the jump, I would have loved you the same. I would have cherished you the same. And yes, I appreciate you coming all this way to apologize to me but it still doesn't change how I feel. I'm still angry, upset, sad and going through the stages of grief. We can't just slap a band-aid on this broken relationship. Plus I don't think I could ever go back to you after what you did to Anais. That poor girl. Just now meeting her children for the first time in 6 years? Don't you feel ashamed?"
