"Alright come on. Let's get you dried off and into bed." I said drying Ava off from her bath. Kairi was already dressed for bed and waiting for me to read her a bedtime story.
"Mommy?" Kairi spoke. "Yes baby?" I replied. "Please be friends with daddy." She said twiddling with her little fingers. "I will try my best baby." I said still dressing Ava for bed. It made me sad knowing she felt the tension between her father and I. Tucking the both of them in, I read them a bedtime story and watched them fall sound asleep.
"Goodnight my beautiful babies." I said giving them soft kisses on their foreheads. Hearing Dave wide awake watching television, I knocked and peeked my head inside. "May come in?" I asked before barging in. Not mouthing a word he paused what he was watching and sat there in silence.
"I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you. You have been helping me so much after the accident, helping with the kids, I mean honestly I couldn't ask for a better support system. I am expressing hurt, I am angry. I'm frustrated with everything. I am trying to see things from your point of view but it is so damn hard when all this began with you being unfaithful to me." I sobbed. "I just need time to get over this pain. Every time I try to forget about you stepping out on our relationship, this woman pops up like a fucking missing puzzle piece." I added.
"And to be fair it's not easy for me either having this nigga Trell popping up everywhere. But am I making you suffer for it? Nah because I know that you love me and you won't give that nigga the time of day." He explained. "First of all you can't even compare the two situations, completely different. I didn't cheat on you with him." I added. "It doesn't matter Lauren, see that's what you do. Call me out on my shit and then try to justify the shit you do!" Dave snapped. "I'm not justifying anything Dave, I'm just simply saying you can't compare the two situations because they aren't the same." I concluded.
"Not the same? So this nigga coming up to you in the club? Hiding out in your car to try and kill me? Popped up at the hospital? Stop trying to downplay that shit Lo." Dave said sparking up his blunt.

"Did Trell send you a video of him eating me out? Even though I could've very much been a thirsty bitch and tried something with him when he stopped by. But no I'm fucking loyal to you and have been for years!" I snapped. "Wait. What? This nigga was at my house? This nigga know where I lay my head?" He stood up to his feet. "Lauren what the fuck you got to tell me that I don't know." He balled up his fist.
"Dave chill it's not that deep." I said attempting to stand up but he pushed me back down. "Lauren on my fucking kids imma break ya fucking face if you don't start talking right the fuck now!" He said moving in closer. "Okay okay. He stopped by while you were at the studio. And he told me to tell you to stop searching for him or he was going to do something to me and Kairi." I explained.
"And you ain't think to tell me that shit! You dumb as fuck!" He snapped. "I never got the chance to tell you, I was calling your phone. You didn't pick up and Bobby called and said you were being rushed to the hospital, and it kind of slipped my mind." I sobbed. "Notifying me of the safety of my daughter slipped your mind? Lo get the fuck out my room before I break your fucking neck." Dave said pacing back and forth.
"You love that nigga? I mean it seem like you covering up for him or some shit." Dave asked. "You know I don't care about that man." I replied. "Lauren please get the fuck out my face before I seriously hurt you. And I'm trying to really keep my anger under control." He stood over me.
"Babe please just talk to me." I begged. "Lauren move!" He said pushing me into the wall but not in a way to hurt me. Wiping tears from my eyes I left out and went into the guest room.
"What's the point of me staying here?" I asked myself. Starting to back up my things, I barged back into Dave's room and grabbed a few necessities that was still in there. "Yea call me if you hear anything." I heard him say into the phone.
"I'll be out your way." I mumbled going into his bathroom to grab some of my skincare stuff. "You not taking my kids. You can go but my kids staying." I said sitting at the edge of the bed. "And I'm not leaving this house without my kids." I shot back. "Go wake my kids up to leave and watch what's gone happen." He said nonchalantly.
Not in the mood to argue with him, I left out of his room and went to pack the rest of my things.
"Move out my way please." I said to Dave as he stood in front of the room where the girls were. "I'm taking them back home with me, you can see them when you want but we're not staying here." I explained.
"You foul as fuck. Trying to take my girls because you're angry with me?" He said approaching me. "Dave like I just said, I am not taking them from you. I am simply just taking them home." Added once again.
"Matter of fact, I'll take these." I said going into my jacket pocket and pulling out the car keys. "Give me my shit Dave." I said attempting to take them back. My height was no match for Dave's and I was in too much pain to try and fight him for them. "Alright don't trip. Call one of your other bitches next time you want to fuck." I said walking off.
"You already know I will." He shot back. And just like that those words cut into me like a knife. Tears began rolling down my face as Dave walked out into his room without a care in the world.
To unknown number:please come pick me up I need you
Going into the room where Kairi and Ava where I kissed them letting them know I was going to be right back. "I love you mommies angels." I sobbed before I got up to leave. Not saying a word to Dave, I walked out of the house and didn't have any plans on returning.
Getting into the black tinted sports car, I looked up at the house one last time before taking a deep breath and thinking about what I was really doing.
"I knew you was gone be back." He said to me before driving off.
