Take Me Away

Chapter21-Tragedy

Lisa's Pov:

"Excuse me ma'am, are you ready to order yet?" The young waitress asked me.

I looked up at her, tilting down my shades. "How many times you gonna come over here and ask that same damn question?" I asked.

"Well I'm sorry but you've been here for over an hour and it's company policy that you have to-

"Sorry I'm late. We'll have a bottle of your finest champagne, thank you." Said a voice standing behind her.

I rolled my eyes, recognizing the corny fake ass southern accent from anywhere.

It was David.

After the waitress scurried away, I looked at him. Years had passed, but he was still that same bald headed asshole that i had put up with for over seventeen years.

He sat down, fixing his flashy watch before looking up at me. "Lisa." He said.

"David." I mocked.

"You looking good as-

"Cut the bullshit, I know I look good. We not here to talk about me, we here for your bullshit." I said.

"Why you always get hostile with me?" He asked, trying to sound innocent.

I crossed my arms. "Did you call me all the way out here for small talk, or something actually important?" I asked, on the verge of leaving.

He frowned. "Your son is dying Lisa, is that important enough for you?" He asked.

I kept a straight face, trying my hardest not to fall into his trap. "What are you talking about?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Tyler has aids, full blown and he-

"Wait, you're not saying what I think you saying. Did he give it Camryn?" I asked, as my eyes grew wide.

He shook his head, brushing it off. "He caught it in college, can you worry about your son instead of Camryn for once? He's dying Lisa! He wants to be with his mother while he still can." He said.

My heart raced out of control. "You know I can't have him near-

"He can't hurt the girl, he can barely move on his own!" He said, getting out of pocket.

I shook my head. "And why would he want to come back to me? After all this time and all the bullshit y'all put me through, why would he come back?" I asked, seeing straight through his bullshit.

"Why don't you ask him yourself? The house is just across the interstate." He shrugged.

I laughed at him. "You think I'd really
go to your house, alone? I'm not stupid, I know how ya punk ass get down." I said rolling my eyes at him.

He laughed a little. "Stop being dramatic, I got have a woman and I'm certainly not interested in yo old ass anymore." He said.

I nodded. "Good for you. And for Tyler, I want to see him, but I can't take him home. That's not happening." I said seriously.

He called his little girlfriend up and told her to bring Tyler down to the restaurant. When they showed up, I wasn't surprised that his new bitch was basic. She ain't look a day over fifteen.

Tyler on the other hand didn't look so good. I could see his depression from a mile away.

As the four of us sat at the table, I turned to Tyler.

"How are you?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "I'm here." He said lowly.

My heart throbbed at his pain. He was only twenty-one years old.

"Tell her what you told me." David said.

Tyler let out a deep breath. "Mom, I'm sorry for everything I ever did to hurt you. And I know I hurt Camryn, I probably ruined her life. I just want to give her the apology she deserves. I can't die with this on my conscious." He said.

My eyes filled with tears, remembering the horrible night.

"You shouldn't have done it. You put her through things that she didn't deserve to go through at that age!" I said seriously. "You ruined her childhood but now you want closure?"

"Mom, my entire life is ruined. I want to get right with God before i go." He said to me. "I need Camryn to forgive me."

"I'll talk to her, but I can't take you home." I said, grabbing my purse and leaving.

They were out of there rabbit ass minds if they thought I would even consider bringing Tyler into my house.

As I headed back to my hotel room, i started thinking about Him. He had done so much wrong but now he was paying for it. As much as I didn't want to feel bad, I couldn't help it. One of my babies were dying.

I have to ask, how y'all feeling about Lisa? Is is wrong to turn your back on your child over the mistakes that they made? Or did he deserve it? And do y'all think Tyler is sincere? Would y'all let him back?
