Living The Life

Chapter 4

"Damon, who is Candice and why is she texting you at midnight?!" I screamed following Damon in the bathroom. "Why you going through my phone? I always told you, you was gone find some you ain't wanna see" Damon snapped. "Money I miss you baby, I enjoyed last night. So you left after I went to sleep Damon?" I said reading the text. Damon snatched his phone, "Don't fucking worry about what I do!" Damon yelled back. Good thing my father and brother took care of Byron and hit the road back home with Jayrian and Jayriah. I felt the tears coming but I wasn't going to let myself cry. "You know what I'm leaving!" I cried grabbing a bag and stuffing clothes in it. "I ain't stopping you" Damon snapped. After I finished I went into Serenity and Mahogany's room and packed them a bag. "You can leave but you not taking my kids!" Damon said blocking my path. I picked up Mahogany and woke Serenity up, threw the bags on my back and barged through Damon. "Give me my kids Simone!" He yelled. I kept walking I strapped Mahogany in and locked the doors. Damon came out just as I was pulling off. He chased the car and yanked on my door. I stopped hard causing him to jerk. My window was down so he reached in and punched me. I sped off dragging him for a little while cause his arm was still in my window.

Tears poured down my face as I felt a large knot forming on my forehead. I sat in my grandmothers drive way. She looked our the window and motioned for me to come in. My uncle Ray Ray came out and helped me with the girls. I hid my face so he wouldn't see the knot and thankfully he brought the girls in and left. I broke down as soon as my Nana hugged me. "If he treats you like this, he don't deserve you!" she said holding me like I was a baby again and humming a Gospel song. I snuggled close and fell asleep in her arms.

The next morning I woke up to the smell of breakfast and the girls giggling. I stretched and yawned, I felt my forehead and my knot had went down. Nana must have iced it while I was sleep. I made my way to the kitchen and sat at the table. "Good morning girls, morning Nana" I said rubbing my eyes. "Your mother called here all night, crying about that Byron! I told her God don't like ugly! He got what God thought fit for him" Nana said deep in thought. My mom and Nana haven't been close since my Mother's first husband tried to molest me and she sent me to live here. But not before she stomped me and called me all kind of filthy whores. "Enough about her, what's for breakfast?" I asked rubbing my stomach. "Sausage, eggs, bacon, grits, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls" Serenity said licking her lips. "Go wash up, breakfast is almost done" Nana said. I picked up Mahogany and grabbed Serenity's hand. "Mom, mom love you" Mahogany said wrapping her little arms around my neck and kissing the tip of my nose. "I love you too Ny" I giggled kissing all over her face. "What about me mommy?" Serenity asked pouting. I kneeled down beside her and pulled her close. "I could never forget about my Reni" I whispered kissing her forehead. "And daddy too?" Serenity asked. I looked away and start to tear up. "Yes and daddy too" I choked out. "I miss him, when are we going home?" Serenity asked. "Daddy, I want daddy now!" Mahogany pouted. "Daddy and mommy taking a break right now, so we gone stay with Nana for a while" I said as a few stray tears fell. They both began crying uncontrollably. Nana came in the hallway and frowned. "Hush up now, get washed up so you can eat" Nana said grabbing Serenity's hand and taking her in the bathroom. I really don't know how long I can stay away.

Two weeks later...

Damon P.O.V

All I've been doing is drinking and smoking. The house don't feel the same without my girls in it. I picked up my home Bonez and we drove to the abandoned building we stashed Byron at. When we walked in Byron was still hanging by his arms from the ceiling, barely holding on. "I'm surprised the nigga ain't dead, Simone daddy beat that half to death and then cut the man dick off! How this nigga still breathing right now?" Bonez asked. "Hell if I know but he not gone be breathing for much longer. I just got orders to finish this nigga" I said with a sick smile on my face. "What exactly were the orders?" Bonez asked. I laughed, "To cut this mf up and ship him to his wife!" I said. Bonez shook his head at me. "You on your own, I don't want no parts of that. You really losing it bruh" he said backing away.

Bonez P.O.V

I walked out of the abandoned building, Byron's cries rang from the building. I pulled out my phone and called Simone private.

Simone- "Hello?"

Me- "Its me Bonez"

Simone- "I don't wanna hear nothing he said Bonez!"

Me- "Just listen, Damon losing it man. And I'm not talking missing you, he going too far!"

Simone- "I'll call him"
