Chase POV

I opened the drawer seeing a stack of Plan B pills. I began to feel my temperature rise. Snatching the pills up. I stormed out the room and down the stairs into the living room.
I dropped the pills and snatched Zyiare up by her shirt.
"I'm not gone tell your ass too many more times! Get rid of these shits!" I yelled while she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Aye man!" Zaylen yelled pulling at me. As a reaction I turned and punched him.
"Chase are you fucking stupid!? Do be hitting on him!" Zyiare yelled going to his aid.
"I'm so fucking tired of you and your stupid ass family. You and all this sneaking around! Why the fuck you need Plan B pills when you're married! And this nigga, all he do is sit on his ass or fuck that little hoe running around here. And if it ain't y'all it's Xavier! If he wasn't your brother and Keri's baby father I swear to God I'll have him in somebody's lake right now."I said to her.

She tried to walk past me but I snatched her back.
"Don't walk away from me."
"You so disrespectful man. Like you tired of me and my family? We are a family. And if you are so tired of me, then leave." She said with so much venom as she stormed off.

I sighed. Placing my head in my hands. After a few minutes I felt little slaps on my arms. I looked up to find Cai.
"Bad daddy."She said popping me again.
"Why I'm bad?"
"You make my mommy cry." She said.
I sighed picking her up and carrying her upstairs.

I got to our bedroom to find a locked door. I started banging on the door and Cai helped.
"Open mommy!" She called.
"Cmon man, just open the door."
The door opened. And sure enough she was crying.
"Go play for me please baby." I said to Cai as I placed her on her feet. She took off running. And in seconds the door was slammed shut in my face. Triggered a pinch of anger in me, I began kicking at the door until it fell off the hinges.
"If you knew what's good for you, you won't do that shit again." I said calmly stepping in the room.
She cried in a corner and I sat there watching her.
"You done?" I asked.
"No Chase I'm not done. Actually this is only half of what I'm feeling."
"I ain't do shit wrong, so if you ask me the waterworks are uncalled for."
"What did you even come up here for?" She asked squinting her eyes at me.
"Honestly, because my daughter seemed upset that you was up here crying and I didn't want her to think I didn't care."
"You don't!"
"Lose the extra bass in your voice."
"I'm just saying, you trying to make it seem as if I'm just crying for no apparent reason. Like I'm just overly fucking sensitive, and don't do shit wrong."
"I don't." I said calmly.
"Okay." She said obviously irritated as she stood.

"I don't know what you standing for." I said just as she approached me and began slapping me and punching me in my chest. As an instinct I grab her slamming her down on the bed. I held a tight grip on her arms. As my breathing increased.

Zyiare POV

I struggled to get out of his grip. I reacted out of anger when I put my hands on him. And even though he's hit me once right in this moment all that was out the window. To say he was pissed would be an understatement.
"Aye man, get off of her!" Zaylen yelled pulling at Chase. He let go of me and pushed Zaylen out of his way. I knew he wouldn't stay here because Cai was home and he tried to avoid ever letting her see him like that at all cost.
"You alright?" Zay asked me.
"I hit him first Zaylen."
"It's alright sis, he's mad right now but he'll be here later and y'all can talk about it."
"He's not going to want to talk. Sometimes he can't control his anger and for him to not have hit me back just then took a lot out of him. I should have never got him to that point." I cried.
"Just lay down Zy. Don't stress he'll be back." He said leaving out.

"Mommy." Cai called. I looked up to find her in tears.
"Come here baby." I sat placing her on the bed next to me.
"Where my daddy?"
"He'll be back later."
I said but truthfully I wasn't sure myself.
