I looked up to see.. "Brook?" I trembled.

"Trey.." She said as tears ran down her cheek.

"Am I dreaming or something? Because Brook died 4 years ago."

"No you're not dreaming.. And I never died."

I couldn't contain myself.. I didn't even know how to react.. I didn't know whether to be upset, happy, I didn't...

"Why? Why did you do this to us? Your family?" I said.

"Trey. I had caused so much damage. I swear I just didn't want to see you hurt, or killed... I didn't know I was going to live... I just couldn't bare to see you with another woman and I'm so sorry but I didn't want to cause anymore damage." She cried out.

I pulled her into my arms and she laid her head against my chest. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She said crying even harder.

I breathed heavily as tears rolled down my cheek. I was about to break down but I had to stay strong.

*1 hour*

"So... How's everything going?" She asked sitting on the couch. I just stared at her.. A face I thought I'd never see again in the thought of everyone thinking she was dead.

"My bad... Um, Everything's been cool... Just wishing you were here most of the time.... Remarried, with another child though."

"I know. I'm happy for you."

"So what about you?" I asked.

"I've been having to stay low key. I didn't want you to get hurt if they knew I was still alive. But now that they're all in jail or either dead.. I think I'm safe now." She explained.

"Well you look beautiful... Still." I said.

She just smiled and blushed. When I took a glance at her hand she still had on our ring.

"You still wear it.." I pointed out.

"Yea, that's the only thing I had of you. Um, well I think I should be going. Maybe I could see Marilyn?" She suggested.

"I can make that happen..." We both stood up.

She went to the door. "Maybe I could see you more often too. Not dating but just to see you and see you're okay." She said.

"Yea." I replied.

She then stood on her tip toes and kissed my cheek causing me to tilt her chin and kiss her lips. I ran my hands down her waist and gripped her butt. I kissed down her neck and she broke loose biting her lip.

All the sudden my heart just felt as if it stopped beating... All in one second I realized it wasn't a dream.... Brook was standing right in front of me.

"I'll call you tomorrow to see my daughter." She said.

"Yea,... right. Text me the place and time."

When I closed the door behind her I just fell to my knees in tears. I didn't even know.... What to think.

****

Mila and I went on the other side of town of Atlanta in the city area to go shopping.

Coming our way was Brook... She was jogging then she stopped once she got to us.

"Mila, Trey. Great to see you!" He said catching her breath.

"I'm sorry. But are you-" I cut Mila off.

"Brook great to see you also. Mila this is Brook and Brook this is my little boy Titus-" and then Brook cut me off.

I saw the tears streaming down her face and she got on her knees and stooped down to Marilyn.

"Hi baby girl." She said.

"Hi. You're pretty." She said.

"Thank you. I miss you..  You probably don't remember me but I miss you so much."

"I know you." Marilyn replied.

That's when Brook stood up and I flicked away a few tears.

"It's very nice to finally meet you Mila. Good to see you Trey. Maybe we could all go eat later?" Brook suggested.

"That would be great." Mila said. Looking at me.

****

In the car on the way home Mila finally spoke up... "So she's not dead.. And she neglected her family? I have some serious things to say to her..."

"It's not your place." I said turning the corner.

Mila looked back at the children to see Titus sleep and earbuds in Marilyn's ear.

"It is my place! I raised her daughter! What the hell do you mean it's not my place? She is sick!"

"Hey! Chill out with that shit Mila!" I yelled.

I saw it kind of scared her and I felt bad for yelling because I had never yelled at her. She instantly turned her face and I saw a tear run down her cheek.

"Baby I'm so sorry." I said whipping the tear away.

"Just.. Stop, leave me alone. Stop at a gas station so I can get something." She said.

I shook it off and continued to drive.
When Mila was in the gas station, Brook texted and asked about dinner tonight at a place called Golden Shack down here in town. I agreed to meet up with her.

When Mila got back in the car I decided to tell her. "Babe. We're going to go to Golden Shack and have dinner with Brook tonight."

She just ignored me and said nothing.
And I just drove off like it was nothing.
