caine: mom im going to use the restroom ok?
emily: yea go for it
he got up and walked out
antonio: so
emily: you better not be manipulating him or playing him in any way I'm not that nice I will come for you you wont hurt him he's innocent if you're angry at someone let it be me ok?
Antonio: haha, I'm not lying, and I'm not trying to manipulate anything I missed out on so much I fucking hate myself, Emily I hate that I hurt you hate the way I treated you when all you wanted was to love me and make me a better person I lost out on that love and that makes me hate myself more I think
her heart broke
Emily: you shouldn't hate yourself it wasn't even your fault you where raised by angry parents then seeing marco die the way he did fucked you up
he nodded
antonio: I am angry though why cheat? why do me like that mostly with my closest homie? i saw him as brother and brought him around to protect you while I was working my ass off to give you the life you deserved?
emily: this visit isn't about that ok
antonio: no I know but caine ain't here right now and I want my answer because I been sitting here for 18 fucking years wondering what the fuck did I do to deserve that betrayal yea I was in my head the money the anger but I never cheated on you I shut down a bunch of bitches I never went out never did dumb shit i was loyal to you and you left me for my homie really?
emily: you wanna know the truth you really do?
antonio looked behind her and shook his head
antonio: can you visit me alone or is he gonna give you shit?
emily: why would i visit you alone for?
antonio: i deserve some kind of fucking answer don't you think closure i don't wanna get out of here fucking mad at the world he took from me
emily: he didn't take shit from you you let me go you pushed me to him
antonio: i fucking pushed you how haw? i never hit you i never treated you wrong i bought you your dream car your dream houses fucking houses emily really?
they went quiet as caine sat down
caine: you guys can hash it out i wont judge its best if this tension gets dealt with i don't want awkward visits or even when he's freed
emily: no
antonio: he's not a fucking kid anymore what you don't want him to hear this shit? caine you know not everyone's perfect right and whatever me and her tell each other is between us we have things to settle so please don't judge your mother or see her any differently ok
caine; I would never see her differently
emily: don't make me out to seem like some monster because I'm not
antonio: I'm not calling you a monster I'm asking what the fuck
emily: you where my first love you where my everything but it was always me having to be at your side at your feet you always got mad over the dumbest shit and you wouldn't let me out of your site do you remember when i told you i was pregnant with caine? when we found out he wasn't going to be a lil girl tonio? do you remember how you used to be? cuz don't act like it was fucking picture perfect yes you gave me everything and I'm thankful i am we had our goodtimes but i grew fucking tired of keeping it all fucking together always and i know you couldn't help it half the time you where living up to your dads standards you where trying to be like marco so they would love you like they loved him
caine sat back and stared at her
caine: what made you go to him what did he do
Emily: he fucking cared he thought of me and took care of me while you were gone I'm not saying you were cheating I'm not saying you were doing anything he just thought of me and didn't start fucking fights over lil things he brought me peace when with you it was me stepping on eggshells because i didn't want you mad i didn't want to set you off i didn't know if one day you would be so mad you would hit me
antonio: i never even tried to hit you you know how my dad treated my mom
