"Why can't I get it right
Just can't let it go
I opened up, she let me down I won't feel that no more
I got memories, this is crazy
You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know
I don't mean to take it out on you baby but I can't help it
Cause my heart is in the same old condition that baby left it
And I, I apologize
For making you cry
Look me in my eyes and promise you won't do me the same." Omarion~Ice Box
__________________"Ooh I like those get them." I said to Kenya as she tried on a pair of heels. We were now in the mall just spending time together.
"No cause it's gonna be hard finding shit to wear and I don't wanna be looking like Shauni clown ass." She said fake gagging causing me to laugh.
"You stay talking shit."
"I don't like that bitch AND she hit my nephew like bitch I would take off my earring...and poke the shit out her ass. When you gonna handle her."
"I don't know but soon because this shit is about my babyboy, my world."
"Damn right." She nodded.
We walked out the mall and put our bags in the trunk. Jaylen had been with Javon a couple days so I was going to pick him up today cause I missed my booka plus Javon said he wouldn't leave Jay alone with Shauni.
We pulled up to their house in no time and I saw Ammonie Blake and Shauni leaning against the cars talking. I rolled my eyes and told Kenya to stay in the car.
"Why dahell I gotta stay in the car like a child."
"Cause you don't know how to act."
She rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone getting on Instagram. I assumed she understood so I got out beginning to walk towards the house.
"Here her ass go" I heard Ammonie say.
"Her fat ass she probably pregnant by her man that be beating her ass." Shauni said. I slowly turned around.
"Look bitch I don't like you for the simple fact that you think it's cool to put your fucking hands on my child." I said getting closer to her.
"If you don't want to be dragged up and down the fucking drive way I inform you to shut the fuck up cause I'm sparing your ass cause Javon."
"Journey shut up Javon wouldn't be fucking with you if you didn't have his baby you obviously want him and that's why your little ass mad." I felt my fist ball up and before I knew it I was sending blows to Shauni's head. She put up a fight but she ended up on the concrete. I soon felt hands pulling me by my hair and I soon swapped places with Shauni.
"Journey!" I heard Kenya scream before I seen her swing Amonnie off of me.
I was still throwing punches in all directions so I couldn't really see what she was doing.

JavonCole Marcus and I were in the den playing 2k when Jaylen came in the room.
"Daddy why it's so loud outside?" I paused the game and looked at him.
"What you mean it's loud lil man?"
"Somebody's screaming soooo loud." He said covering his ears dramatically.
I got up and began walking to the front. It's probably my dumbass neighbors arguing as usual. They annoying my son so this shit needs to stop.
I looked out the window in the hallway and my eyes widened at the sight. Blake and Shauni was hitting Jo while Kenya sat on top of Anmonie sending blows to her face.
"Fuck!" I said as I ran to the door.
Cole grabbed Blake and Marcus reached for Journey but I beat him to it so he grabbed Shauni and then took Kenya off Ammonie.
"MOMMY!" Jaylen yelled as he looked at a bruised Journey. She had a scratch above her eyebrow and a bust lip but she still looked beautiful. Not the time? Ok
I took her into the bathroom and sat her on the counter closing the door. I got in between her legs as I looked in the cabinet for my first aid kit that I had for Jerry and Jay.
"You gonna tell me why you was fighting in front of my house." I said as I put peroxide on her cut eyebrow.
"She hit my son." She shrugged I frowned.
"When?"
"The day you left him here with her" she said shoving my chest.
"I'll handle it."she rolled her eyes as if she didn't believe me.
"She also said that you wouldn't be around if it wasn't for Jaylen." She looked down. I touched her chin indicating for her to put her head up.
"I woulda still been around Jo I love you too much to see you going through the shit you do alone. Nothing changed from when we were kids just the age and year." I said going to her lip.
I dabbed it with another piece of tissue with peroxide on it. I guess it hurt because she hissed and sucked her bottom lip.
I just stared cause she really did that sexy shit in front of me. I guess she noticed me staring because she let her lip go and hopped off the counter .
"Not here and not today." She said before walking out the bathroom.
When I got out she was gone and so was Jaylen and Kenya.
I went into my room sitting on my bed running my hand over my face. I'm guessing the rest of them left too.
"So you was really in the bathroom with that bitch like your girlfriend didn't just get in a fight too?"
"Why you put your hands on my son Shauni." I saw her tense.
"I did-"
"So you really gonna sit here and lie to my face? Huh? I should've left your ass alone when you almost let my sons kill themselves." I said yelling at this point. She didn't even say anything she had nothing to say now.
I chuckled.
"You know what? Get your shit and bounce."
"So that's it you gonna kick me out over that bit-"
"You got one more time to call her a bitch before I slap the fuck outta you." She gasped.
"You know what fuck you, fuck Journey and fuck both of your nappy head ass sons."
Surprisingly I just smirked.
"Your unemployed, your pussy not that good your natural hair not that long and you will never be half the woman Journey is. I'm not gonna put my hands on you because my mama raised me better but I was gonna be nice and let you take the shit I BOUGHT but you just messed up my good mood so you can leave." She huffed grabbing her phone and purse and walking out the door.
"You'll wish you wouldn't have done this shit."I laughed.
"Bye Felisha." I said slamming the door in her face.
