Angel Morant (AJ)
Y/n POV
"Come on cuz, you gotta get up."Ja said as I didn't have the energy to move my head so I could see the tv. He had tried this everyday since the scandal. I haven't seen Angel or my son in 2 weeks since it happened. She wouldn't answer my calls or text, give me time give day. Apparently it's real easy to fall off the face of the earth. Nobody had seen her, not even the media, and Paparazzi stays outside my home, to bad I won't leave the couch.
I even called her mom, and Julian. Of course he ain't answer. To my surprise mama Angel did. And she cursed me the fuck out. Totally where Angel gets it from.
"Y/n come on, let's go out or something. Get your mind off things."Ant said in a playful tone as I eyed him. "Look man, you eating snacks and shii, you couch-ridden. This ain't good, how you gone play ball?"
"How am I gone play ball when I'm riding the bench?"I said lowly as they went quiet. Yep, ever since Angel slapped me on live television I had been demoted to the bench. It's crazy because when Ants situation happened they let him stay a starter. Apparently this whole cheating thing wasn't good for my image so I needed to lay low. But Ant came into the league a 'bad boy' so it was perfect for his game. The fucking irony.
"Look, I know you sad, or whatever but sitting here eating and waiting on a miracle to happen ain't gone do it." Ja said as I stared at him blankly. I wish they would get the fuck on.
"Welp, on 3?"Ant said looking at Ja as I scrunched my face. They both counted before grabbing me pulling me off the couch.
Here we go...

Angel pov
"Angel please,"I pleaded trying to give him a pacify as tears ran down my face. It's been 2 weeks and we had both been crying together. It's like he knew, and he was trying to show me that he did. He had never been a fussy baby.
"Angel just let me try,"My mom pleaded as I shook my head. Of course I had been attached to him also. But in a way I felt like he didn't want me either. And that fucked me up, because he's my son, so if he didn't want me either, does that justify everything?
"Angel you gone drive yourself crazy, baby. You need a break. Lemme see," she said as I gave in passing him as I broke down exhausted. This whole situation was killing me inside out.
"Hey stinky, it's okay...mommy's just hurting right now, can you calm down baby boy?"She continued on as he calmed himself, before falling asleep in her arms. I looked on in disbelief still sobbing. She placed him down gently as I watched him take every breath. It's something I did often when I first had him, I used to jolt up in the middle of the night to make sure he was breathing. And now I was doing it because I felt as if I couldn't breathe, like I was breathing with half a lung.
"He looks just like you when you were a baby, I swear when I heard him cry I could hear you, it's so strange..." she paused as I looked at her.
"I can't mommy,"I broke as she wrapped her arms around me instantly. I didn't even know what I meant, but I knew it wasn't good.
"I know it's hard Angel, it'll get better no matter what happens."she coached still holding me tightly.
"I don't know what to do..." I admittedly truthfully. If I did leave, I knew I'd still forever love y/n just as much if not more. And that would never be fair to the person I would attempt to move on with. If I stayed, I was at risk for being played with. Having my heart on the line once again when it had already been broken. Even if me and y/n ever reconciled people would never let this public moment go, I'd probably never let it go. Our trust would never be the same. I was stuck.
"And that's okay baby, and you probably never will," she sighed. " but at some point you have to face the music, you have to talk to her sometime soon, you have a son to think about." She preached as I shook my head. Wiping my tears.
"I don't, I don't need too. He's fine, we're fine." I said trying to believe that myself.
"We both know that's not true. He misses his mama. And I'm sure part of you misses her regardless of the situation. You keeping him away from her, them away from eachother, is not fair. No matter how much she hurt you. He needs her. I mean look at you for example I-
"I turned out fine. See? I'm fine, it's my son and I know what's best for him mama." I said as she pursed her lips frowning.
"I need to get some sleep while he is too, so I guess I'll see you when we wake up." I said as she nodded.
