“Mateo?” Lidia questioned seeing me as I ran close to her

“What are you doing here?” Lidia asked me looking up and down at me

“Me? What are you doing here? You don’t go to these places” I asked her

“I wanted to go out for a bit...Wait who's watching Penny? Rufus?” She asked looking around

“Oh well…” I stuttered and she saw Rufus and Tagoe behind me but they were at the bar to get us some privacy

“Where’s Penny?” Lidia asked me again but louder

“He’s with my friend Kendrick” I answered her

“Who?” She asked me genuinely horrified

“My friend you meet him at Thanksgiving and she’s in his car” I told her

“Car? She's outside? Why would you leave her alone?” Lidia asked

“I didn't know him, and you're the one who lied to me and being all sneaky, Who are you with?” I asked her

“I’m not sneaky, I needed some space and I wanted to get out of the house without my baby and my clingy friend” Lidia told me

“I’m not clingy” I told her on the brink of tears

“You're not! I said one thing about having something to do and instead of just letting me have some me time you chased me down, and left my daughter with someone practically a stranger to me!” She growled and started walking away from me

“Where are you going?” I asked her following her

“To get my daughter and go home, Don’t follow me” Lidia told me and kept walking

“I’m sorry I’m just got worried when I heard you with some guy” I tried to explain walking behind her

“There is no guy! God Damnit Mateo” She yelled and ran outside and I was behind her

Kendrick saw me and got out of the car with Penny, Lidia grabbed Penny and they walked away

“Bye Uncle Mateo and Mister Kendrick” Penny said as they got into Lidia’s car and drove off

“Are you okay?” Kendrick asked me seeing me watching them drive away

Mateo put his head on my chest and started crying on his chest; Kendrick held me close and let me cry on his chest.

“I fucked everything up” I muttered as Kendrick held her crying

“Hey it’s going to be okay” I promised him and rubbed the back of his head gently
