Embry Johnson lives in a studio apartment with her daughter Riley. She's struggles with helping her cope with bipolar disorder.
Until she meets a man that could give her everything she ever wanted and needed.
I get a call from someone. "Yo" "hey it's me uh Roses dead" I blink. "What" "she got hit by a car on her way to work the funerals tomorrow" I scoff. "Karmas a bitch" I joke. "She was your best friend" "ya who slept with my boyfriend" I argue. "So no but I'll come just to see that bitch get put down" I hang up. "Who was that" "my sister Rose died I have to go to her funeral" I tell him. "What why" "I wanna make sure that she'd dead" I tell him flatly.
"Ouch want me to come" "you don't have to" I shrug. "I'm coming it's in LA right" "ya" I nod.
"Come on" He begs. "Fine but my parents will be there so no funny business" "got it but one problem" he states. "What" "What about Lee" I look at her on the couch. "She's not coming and Carla can watch her or Ashly" I state.
"Alright so what do you wear to the funeral of your girlfriend slutty ex best friend" I smirk.

We arrive and he opens the door for me.
"You look so beautiful" I smile at him.
We walk in hand and hand. They turn to us and he lets me take a seat first and he sits next to me.
I catch my sisters glare. I smirk.
Once it's over we get up "what's wrong with you" I turn to her. "Whatever do you mean" "you show up dressed like this to a funeral she was your friend" I roll my eyes. "Keep saying that" "who is he" he takes my hand. "I am her boyfriend Buck" "you ruined everything" I shrug not caring. "Embry" I hear that voice from all those years ago.
"Mom" "where is she" she asks looking around. "Not here she's with a friend" "what's she look like" dad asks. "None of your business" "I'm her grandmother" "ya that kicked her mom out so" I state. "Because you're not responsible enough for a child god they told me she has bipolar disorder knowing you she's probably off the rails" she scolds. I inhale "no she's not she's a good mom and she's the greatest girl on earth that kid is to smart for her own good despite everything" Buck argues back. "Don't tell me you trapped another man by pregnancy again" she asks eying buck.
He scoffs. "I didn't trap Noah and Bucks my boyfriend I'm not pregnant" "I suggest you get out while you can young man besides the child already has a father" i glare at her.
"Like hell" I state. "Aren't you the one who took my kid and ran" I feel my breathing go shallow."She's not yours you bastard shes mine" "I'll sue you" he threatens. "No one's gonna want a kid with an unstable mother" Buck punches him he groans in pain. "No one's gonna want a guy with commitment issues as a father" Buck says after punching him in the jaw. "And I'd like you to try and take that child away from her let's see what a judge would say if we told them the real reason why Emmy ran from you and for the record im a firefighter and she's a 911 operator with a good home nice pay and a sitter that absolutely loves that child so I dare you" he steps close towering over him by 2 inches. "Call 911 and tell them exactly what happened" he holds his jaw.
He gives me a look. "Fuck you" I breathe heavily and start walking back to the car.
Buck "If you ever try to contact Embry or her daughter again I'll kill you" I threaten.
Embry
I sit down and tears flow.
The door opens and I'm pulled into his chest. He holds me. He kisses my head. "They won't hurt you again I swear and I won't let them take Riley not for a second" he kisses my cheek.
