AUGUST'S POV

"August how are you feeling today. Yesterday you didn't come till 3 hours after your scheduled time. What's going on?" I scratched ma face from my in comin beard with ma nails.

"I feel like I wanna kill maself. Mo' everyday." I said bluntly.

"Is it still about your wife?" I nodded slowly.

"I added ha ta ma visitors list a couple days ago, and she still won't come or answer my calls. My dad or one of our friends brings Cookie to visit me."

"Well do you blame her?" She picked up her coffee and crossed her leg at the knee. "You cheated on her with someone she was close with and then you DNA test your own child and then on top of that I'm pretty sure you've done other stuff that's horrible. If my husband and I were going through the same thing... I would avoid you just like your wife is doing. Hell! The divorce papers would be in your hands. I'm just gonna be honest with you." I swiped a hand down ma face and groaned.

"You right."

"I know and you need to give each other a break. She's probably crying her eyes out right now or having a good time getting you off her mind".

SYA'S POV

"C'mon Sya higher!" I jumped up and touched the floor before I did it 30 more times.

My knee was getting worse by the day and that fight only made it things ten times worse. I had to be doubled up on my pain medicine and that just wears me out completely.

"Me too. Me too." Cookie tried jumping up and down making me laugh.

Marisa laughed and picked her up.

"3 more and we'll take a break." I kept going, counting to three in my head. I sat down on the ground and tried to catch my breath. She put Alex on her feet and she held her arms up for her to pick her back up again.

Spoiled. Absolutely spoiled.

"Okay I'm giving you till I get off this phone call with a client and then will go to the yoga mats. Lex I'll be back cutie." I nodded as she left the room.

Cookie sat in front of me and grabbed for my water. I held it to her mouth but she took it from me. I took it from her and flipped the lid down once she took a sip.

"Ria do you think I should break up with daddy?" She nodded, which kinda shocked me.

"Is it because he says mean things to mommy and makes her sad?" She nodded again.

"But I love him and I don't wanna make daddy cry either, cause you know how much mommy loves him." She stood up and grabbed my sweaty face.

"Gimme a kiss." She poked her little lips out and I kissed them. "Muah!" She said and danced a little. "Well whatever mommy decided. We still love you."

"Luh you". She smiled and clapped.

"I love you too baby."

Marisa walked in and grabbed her yoga mat and put her phone back in her bag.

"C'mon let's stretch that knee!" I groaned and followed her with Alex close behind.


TC'S POV

I sat with my wrist tied to a uncomfortable ass chair in the shed's basement with Sya's mom.

She was laying on the medical bed with both her ankles in casts watching Seinfeld. She grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate extra loud. She's been doing this for the past hour.
