Mariah

"I don't wanna be alone in a room with her. She might try and kill me. You know she hates me."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Ana's complaints in the other room. Could she talk any louder? It's not that I hate her, I just hate the way she looks. I know her hip be hurting from doing the same pose in every photo I see.

There's no way she doesn't have scoliosis or any sort of back problems from doing that.

Melo- That's why I'm gonna be in there with y'all, making sure Mari doesn't hurt herself fucking around with you.

Okay now that, that was just not needed. Doesn't mean it wasn't funny. I just know she's mad about that one.

Ana- Woww Melo. So you're more worried about her than me?

Melo- Is that not what I just said?

Ana- Do you even love me?

Melo- Clearly not if I haven't said it to you.

He ain't even have to say that to her. That's fucked up, even for me.

Ana- Then who do you love?

Melo- I mean, that's a cryptic ass question. Do you want individual names or just one?

Ana- Just one. Do you love her?

Melo- Who? My momma? Hell yeah I do.

Ana- No you idiot. You know exactly who I'm talking about. Stop playing stupid.

Melo- Then stop asking me stupid questions when you already know the answer. Of course I love her. I've been in love with that girl since I was seven years old. I'm not gonna stop just because you feel threatened by her. Your spot in my life is temporary, hers is permanent.

Awwww, no wait. Don't feel happy about that Mari what is wrong with you? The second I heard his side of the door click I bolted away from the wall and jumped back on my bed to act like I wasn't just listening.

Clearly I wasn't quick enough because my ass bounced right off the bed and my back hit the hard ass carpet.

Melo- Everytime I come in here there's always something going on with you.

He said, looking at me on the ground. I rolled my eyes and quickly got up, looking at Ana who stood there with her arms folded. She looked so mad I almost wanted to laugh.

Mariah- What's wrong Ana? You don't look too good. Trouble in paradise?

If looks could kill I'd be dead right now.

Ana- Why would there be? I have the life you wish you could have.

Mariah- Yes, because I totally want to be pushing fifty with a man that doesn't love me.

Ana- I'm thirty three.

Mariah- So you say.

Ana- What is it that you do, you know, besides freeload off of my boyfriend's money?

Oooh I know she isn't calling anyone a freeloader. She's gonna look real stupid with his logo in her car after the break up.

Mariah- Girl I'm still spending JBA money. I don't use his. Everything I get from him in a separate account so my child can grow up better than I did.

I hated having to switch between homes, wether it be my grandma's or Lavar's. The whole point was for me to live with Dmo, but he had to be Zo's freaking manager and left me behind.

Melo- Your child?

He looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I gave him the same exact look back.

Mariah- Yes nigga. MY child. You haven't gone to a single appointment. So until I decide so, you are just the sperm donor.

Melo- Fair point.

Ana- So you're just gonna keep this kid away from us? That's low, even for you.

Pause, backtrack..wait a minute. Did she just say "us"? Does she really think I'm letting her around my child? ABSOLUTELY NOT. All that plastic makeup chemical must've fried her brain cells.

Mariah- There is no "us". I'm not keeping my kid away from it's father. But I most definitely will keep them away from your weird ass.

No child should have to grow up without parents. Well, parents like mine I should say. I don't care what anyone says, I'm not going to see my mom when she gets out.

Ana- Baby are you gonna let her do that to me?

Ohhh that's nasty. Why is she calling him that? Girl you are too damn old to be calling somebody a decade younger than you "baby". It's GROSS.

Y'all..if you could see the look on this man's face right now. He looked at her like she stole something from him.

Melo- I can't tell her what to do. It's her choice.

Not gonna lie, that was hot. Maybe he actually is changing. Or he could just be a really good actor, scratch that no he's not. I saw both his AT&T commercial and both Marvel movie ads, this nigga can't act for shit. None of them can.

Ana- Why not? You've done it before you can do it again. Besides, I'd be a better mother to this kid than she ever could be. She knows nothing about parenting, hell her mom is a crack whore!

Nobody

Now in that moment..Mariah didn't know if the spirit of Jesus Christ himself came over her, but she just about levitated off of that bed and hurled herself towards Ana, throwing punches left and right. To Mari, anyone who brought up her mother was asking to get their ass beat.

The whole thing happened so fast LaMelo didn't even realize what was happening until he say Mariah beating the living shit out of Ana. Mari wasn't even giving the poor girl any time to fight back, it was just hits on top of hits.

Melo knew if he tried to pull Mariah off of Ana he'd just get hit too and he didn't feel like being hit. So he brought his phone out and started recording, being the instigator that he was.
