Unconditional Love

Chapter Twenty-One - Tiffany

They finally have Layla in her private room. She looks so exhausted and sad. I wish I could have seen how things would have played out tonight, beforehand, so that I could have protected her from all of this.

The ER doctor came and asked for details of what happened. We explained that there was an argument and then she started to hyperventilate and passed out. After he finished his exam, he explained that her body was just exhausted and shut down from the stress. He said that she woke up once in the emergency room, then she confirmed that she had not been getting much rest. He gave her something to help her relax and sleep.

I have never seen Kino as scared as he was today. I'm sure his mind went back to his wife when he came home and found her body. What makes it worse is that Chelsea was involved in both instances. I would really hate to be in her shoes right now.

Randy went in on her ass after the ambulance left. He didn't think anyone seen it, but I had to get my stuff to leave for the hospital; Aiden and I overheard everything. Let's just say he wasn't too happy with his wife, and she and my mom both are probably going to end up in divorce court.

I'm over my mom at this point. She was never really a mom to me anyway. She only cared about her image and trying to control my life, rather than supporting me in my life decisions. When I was with her, Rome was always the one making sure I got to school, teaching me how to tie my shoes or ride a bike, and telling me to stay away from boys.

Hell, he picked me up from school when I started my period and took me to the doctor so a woman could explain things to me. It was funny as hell. I remember we went to the receptionist and he said 'My daughter has started that grown woman shit and I am a man. I need a woman to explain what she needs to do and take her to the store to buy what she needs. I'll pay anyone $1000 to take the rest of the day off and help her.' It was like five people who volunteered.

My mom was visiting her family. When he called to tell her she just said 'oh well she's growing up. Every woman has to at some point.' She didn't return from her trip or anything. I remember spending the rest of the week with my brother and Rome then my Dad came to pick me up. My dad has basically been a single parent. He was a co-parent with Rome.

I have no idea why my mom hates Lay. It's not just dislike, I mean she really hates Lay. I have asked both of them multiple times if they ever had a run in with each other and they both said no. My mom would just say that she knows her kind and she is only going to destroy my brother and take everything.

Rome never cheated on my mom when we were younger. She was always the one running around with different men. She used to claim that it was because Rome was too young, but she knew he was young when she started fucking him. She just liked dick if you asked me. She's the reason I have one body. She gets enough for both of us.

There was never an instance when a woman came in and took everything away from her because of Rome. I don't even think my grandfather had a woman on the side to say that she grew up with that image. My dad gives her the world even though she does not deserve it. It's anybody's guess where she came up with her conclusion about Lay.

I'll probably get my ass whooped by both my dads and even my baby daddy, but if she steps out of line with Lay again, I'm whooping her ass. I wanted to two-piece her and Chelsea tonight. I just didn't want those twins on my ass like they did Lela.

"Tiff, you should go home and get some rest. She may be asleep for a while. Kino and I will be here all night. Lela and Ry'lo can take you, they are about to leave."

Keli is fine too but I can't betray my future husband.

"I know I should but I don't want to leave her. I'm the cause of all of this. I should have never introduced her to my dumb ass brother, and I should have never forced her to have this shower. She probably hates me now."
