Trey's POV
My mom came to the house to bring the kids. She's been talking to Jay, I know she's not going to be easy on her either.
"I just know that when you left, you never gave clear closure to the situation. I never got to meet you or anything. Then seven years later I find out that I have a grand daughter that's seven! That's crazy, so I'm suppose to believe that your with my son for all the right reasons?" "I never said you needed to believe anything. I respect the fact that yes, Tremaine is your son. What I wont is the fact that you don't know me or where I came from. There's some things that haven't showed for its self maybe because your son judge character before getting to know me the right way. I'm a grown ass woman, so even though I didn't have my mama there for me, I am responsible for my actions. I left thinking we were going to fix it and work together on everything. Then it just ended up being years later and here we are." "Listen, I'm not stupid Janellys. I been there and back. Your trying to sit here and act innocent when your not." "Ma'am, please save it. I never said I was innocent. I have done some things that may have not been good for me. But what I do know is that I've learned from my mistakes and will I go back to the things I used to, no. Why? Because I don't need that life any more. I clearly moved from where I was at to here for a reason. Did I plan on having kids, no. Did I plan on meeting your son? No. So everything happens for a reason, and I'm not going to sit here and have you preach to me about how I messed up and made stupid mistakes that affect how I am today. Do I love your son? I did, I have, I want to again. But there's things that need to take place before I can give my heart out again. One thing I'm not going to do is have somebody telling me how to live my life." I got up from the table and walked out the dining room, "Trey you can talk to your mom now. I'm done." I grab my car keys and leave. "Ma, what happened? Why she leave?" He went into the dining room, "she didn't want to hear what I had to say, she didn't like what I had to say and that's it. Baby she doesn't have her head in the right place." "Ma, she's been through a lot. You can't be like that to every female I want in my life. That's also probably the reason why Mechie's mom left! You always have a thing. You compare yourself to them and that's not right. Nobody's perfect ma." "I only want what's right for my son. And that is not right." She got up from the table and hugged him. "I love you T, I really do. The last thing I want is for my baby to get his heart broken once again."
Once his mom left, he called me. I came back to the house and put the kids to bed. I don't know whether he was on her side or mines. Either way, I didn't really like the fact that she was trying to prove me wrong and find shit that isn't there. "She didn't mean it like that." "Tuh! She didn't mean it like that? Trey she bashed me over the head with that damn talk. Basically said your not allowed to date my son. Your mom is tripping!" "I know your not going to get mad at me. That has nothing to do with me, that's just how she is." "Your her son, she has every right to be that way. But she doesn't even have consideration on how to treat somebody. She's rude." "Listen, I don't care no more. She can't do nothing about it. We're together and that's all that matters, okay?" "Fine." I just stood there with my arms folded, he pulled my hand. "Give me a kiss," he puckered up his lips and I gave him a kiss. It's bad enough that his mom doesn't like me. I have no mom for him to meet and my dad is still in prison. I just can't believe she kept calling me out like that. Like if I was a liar. Who the hell is she? I mean I know that's his mother and everything but she had no right.
_I wake up to get ready for work. After I'm done cleaning myself up in the bathroom I go wake up the kids. "Mechie lets go! Get up," I yell into his room so he can get the picture then go get Demie. "Come on baby girl," I turn on the light and go over to the bed an pull the covers off her face. Then I go her closet and find her some clothes to wear. "You can wear this shirt with these joggers." "I don't want to wear that shirt mama, I hate that shirt." "Well let's see." I put the shirt back and pull out a plain black tee, "is this fine?" She nodded her head and I put the clothes on the bottom of her bed. When I go back to my room, Trey is still knocked out. I go into the bathroom and strip down. As I look into the mirror I see this bruise that has been there for about a week now. I seen a ring on my finger. It reminded me of the time when I lived back home with Angelo. That's when I had an instant flash back.
