Beauty & The Beast II

17

My mom can hardly talk, eat, or walk on her own.

I've been in Illinois for two days now and phone less. My phone fell in the toilet at the hotel. It's been sitting on the counter in rice turning on and back off.

Today I was going to see if I could move my mom to New York. That way I can keep an eye on her and get her the help she needs.

I arrived at the hospital and walked up to see Madison in the room. A conversation has to be held between the two of us regarding our mother but I just feel like she's going to put the focus on something else and I'm not in the mood.

Nicole walked out the bathroom "hey cousin"

I looked at her. I still owe her an ass whooping for trying to hit me but this is not the time nor the place. "Hi"

There was a knock before the doctor walked in "hi, how's everyone"

"Good and you"

"Good. Well Mrs. Fletcher is making progress but a few things aren't where we want them. Have you guys been looking at homes with in home care?"

My mom is not going in a home. Especially because she can hardly talk, no telling what them people got going on "I'm thinking of bringing her home with me and getting her a nurse out there"

"Where is home" the doctor ask

"You aren't taking my mama to New York" Madison say

"And I'm not paying for a nurse out here" I roll my eyes "you want her to stay then you pay for the help she needs" that makes sense and I don't care

"You have the funds for it but since it's not going Ari's way then you want to make the decision hard" Madison laugh "she doesn't even like your wife"

I shrugged my shoulders "Madison you have a full time job and kids, how are you trying to make a decision like this? You will be too busy to look after her" of course the nurse but when the nurse not there? What if the nurse a sneaky bitch?

"You have fifty damn kids Ariana"

"That go to school. I work whenever I want so I'm the perfect candidate plus I'm the only one that can pay for the nurse" I shrug

Madison smacked her lips "you've always done this dumb ass shit since we were kids"

"Madison one of these days you gone have to let that hurt go sweetie" she been saying it, I'm a shitty sister. Okay next. I didn't ask to be a sister and I damn sure not about to beg the bitch for forgiveness. She blamed me for picking the wrong babydaddy, who wasn't even her babydaddy. Bitch got a whole ass baby by Trent. "Just like I did"

She rolled her eyes "I expect updates on my mom and I will be coming to see her whenever I get ready"

"Nah you gone let me know. You like to back door a bitch and the first two times I let you have it but this one? Blood don't matter whatsoever"

On my kids I'll put a bullet in Madison. "You were broken up with Creed and you never was in a relationship with Trent"

"And it's the fact you think that shit is okay" I say

"Yeah that is wrong" Nicole say

"You literally fuck married men" Madison laugh

"Okay enough" I say "I'm taking her to New York. You can transfer all her stuff there"

"Okay give me one second" while she was walking out Kay was walking in

"Why the fuck I gotta come to Illinois just to talk to you my nigga"
