"you look like you had a long ass night." tre says opening his door

"where the fuck is my son?" i say brushing past him and walking into his house
i walk into the living room and see zen sleeping on the couch.
"you need to clean this place up." i say looking around in disgust. it was clothes and toys everywhere.
"my son can't live like this. i say picking up the empty liquor bottles off the dining room table and throwing them away.

"well if you don't come back, it's no point in me keeping him anymore.." he say with a dumb look on his face

"what trevonte?"

"man i was only watching him, so you could see i was on my shit. but if i'm doing this and you ain't gon be with me no more then all this shit is pointless."

i chuckle. not cause it was funny but because this nigga has lost his mind. "tre this is your son, you should be doing it just for that!" "what kind of fucking person are you?" i say getting upset

"i'm not cut out for this shit by myself and you know it."

"by yourself?"
"i keep him 24/7, i ask you to keep him while i work for a couple hours and your trippin? you have bitches here i'm sure they help you and if not you need to do better"

"i also watch him while you out here getting fucked every weekend"

i shake my head. i begin gathering my sons stuff.
"you never have to worry about me or him ever again and i mean it!"

"so you getting fucked?"
i shake my head and just stay silent
"genesis i swear you can never leave me." he says beginning to roll up

"tre ive checked out a long time ago."
"i really don't have time to go back and forth with you." i say nonchalantly but honestly
i grab my baby and his diaper bag and start walking out his house.
"are you gonna watch him this week so i can go to work." i say standing on his porch

"nah, i will when you come back home."

"home?"
"why so when you get mad you can kick me and my son out, yeah i think no"
"i'm never coming back here."

"we'll then i won't watch him anymore." he says blankly and shrugging his shoulders
"and i want a dna test too!"

i scoff "you can get one boo"
"i swear i wish he wasn't yours! you the sorriest nigga i met in my life.."

"you did this to me."
"i never was this way genesis!"

"your sick asf! like youre sick in the head. i never did shit to you!" i say adjusting zenith on my hip

"i'm sick? you the one that left me, you made me this wayy" he says coming off the porch

"omg i left you because you beat the shit out of me & strangled me."
"let's get this shit clean and out the air you cheated on me, you verbally abused me, & treated me like a fucking child."
"then i gave you chance after chance and you still treated me like shit. i hate youuu, you ruined my life." i say with my eyes beginning to water. i'm not crying cause i'm sad but because i'm so mad and aggravated "fuckkk" i say taking zenith and strapping him in his car seat
