Sunday, 10:52 pm (Spring Break)

My doctor says I'm on bed rest even though the ER dismissed me as fine. Right now, I'm staying at Anthony's because my parents don't give a shit about me in France. Anthony has been bringing me food and water since I can't get up. 

*she'd ring the bell*

"What do you need?" Anthony asks me. 

"Water please and 3 kisses to go with it." I laugh while saying it.

Anthony goes to get the water out of the fridge. He pecks her on the lips 3 times and gives her her water. Zuri smiles at him.

"Hey wait," I say to Anthony. He turns around. "Yeah. Are you okay?" Anthony asks exhausted. 

"I'm having trouble sleeping. Can you cuddle with me till I fall asleep?" I ask. 

"Sure," Anthony says.

Anthony cuddles with Zuri till she falls asleep. He walks downstairs to get a snack. 


Anthony

"Anthony, why are you awake?" My mom asks coming out of the corner.

I jumped up because she had scared me.

"Mom, I told you to stop doing that and I was just helping Zuri fall asleep, "I say annoyed.

"Ugh, not her. I feel like she's trying to take you away from us. She's just a crush." Jada says while rolling her eyes.

"A crush? She's the mother of my child. Of course, I'm gonna give her attention." I say pissed off.

"Anthony come on, you need to leave her. I'll help pay the child support if she tries to pull that stunt." Jada says rudely.

"Are you fucking crazy? I'm not leaving her. Even if that was the case, she wouldn't do that."I say angrier than ever. 

"If she's not gone by the next 2 days, I will kick her out myself," Jada says angry.

" Are you fucking serious? If she's leaving I'm leaving too." I say about to cuss her out but I control my anger.

"Ok then. Even better. I see why her parents left her." Jada says while walking away.

What the fuck am I supposed to do now? I have to find me and Zuri a home in 2 fucking days. I mean I have a job to get possibly a single room for one month's rent but after that, I don't know what to do. I'll tell Zuri tomorrow.

*the next day*

Monday, 8:30 am (Spring Break)

"Good morning, my love," I say to Zuri. Zuri yawns and says "Good morning." I give her a kiss. "How did you sleep?" I ask. "Fine."

How come Zuri isn't happy today? She's not acting like her normal self. 

"What's wrong?" I ask concerned.  Zuri sighs and says "I overheard you and your mom last night. I know she said she doesn't want me here. I think I can find a place and you can stay here." Zuri says.

"Hell no! It's alright. I can rent us a single bedroom. I don't wanna leave you Zuri." I say pissed about thinking about it.

Zuri nods and asks for some toast and eggs. I make her the food and she eats. I get on my laptop and start searching for places to stay at.
