I was in the mirror taking off my make up getting ready for bed.

"Baby?"

"What Mike?"

"You know he loves you?"

"Who?"

"That Tre nigga."

"No he doesn't. He's my brother."

"I see the way he looks at you and the way he hugs you and shit. Except you don't look at him the same."

"Yeah, I don't have feelings for him like that. Don't get me wrong I love him, but I love him like I love Tyler. He's like a brother to me. Besides I only look at your ignorant ass that way."

"I'm not ignorant."

"Sure you're not. I can't believe you fucked her."

"We wasn't even together."

"So. You got mad about when I was wit Cai." He say down on the bed and didn't say nothing. "That's what the fuck I thought."

He got up and looked out the window and went to Google on the computer typing. I walked out to see what he was typing. Who the fuck she talking to. I wanted to slap the shit out of him.

"I'm talking to Michelangelo Cohern. Got me fucked up."  I walked out the room and slammed the door. I went down to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I turned around and Mike was in front of me. He pulled me to him and put his chin on my head.

"I'm sorry." I had on a robe with nothing under it except boy shorts and a sports bra and he pulled the string and untied my robe. He lifted my chin and kissed me. "I said. I was. Sorry." I nodded and kissed him back.

"Mhm." He picked me up and put me on the counter.

"Listen I didn't like her. She was just a quit nut. So it don't even matter. Don't even trip on that anymore." He kissed me again and I put my hand on his shoulder and jumped down off the counter and got my phone because it was ringing.

"Lani, I need you."

"I'm on my way." I ran upstairs and threw on some clothes. Again. It was 3 in the morning and I was tired but when Tre needs me imma be there.

"Where you goin'?"

"Tre needs me. He sounds like he was crying so I'm going to go check on him."

"Want me to go with?"

"No. It's fine, I got it. Bye love you." I walked out to the car and sped to his house. I got there in 5 minutes and ran to the door and used my key to open it.

"Tre?!" I yelled through the house. I ran up to what used to be Cai's bed room. This room has so many memories. I looked around and saw Tre sitting against the wall crying. I ran over to him and lifted his head up. I sat down on the floor and pulled him to me and he layed on my chest crying. He had his arms around my waist and I felt something wet so I pulled his arms back and saw blood. It looked like he cut. I moved the stuff on the floor and saw the pocket knife and it had Cai's name on it.

"No. Come on."

"I don't wanna go anywhere."

"I'm just taking you to the bathroom to get your arms cleaned." I pulled his pinky and finger indicating for him to get up cuz this nigga was to strong for me to pull up. He got up and i grabbed his hand leading him to the bathroom. 

I got down to kit and started to clean his arms. He didn't cut deep so he didn't need stitches. I did what Mike did to my arms when he saw me in the bathroom cutting. I wrapped his arm up and walked out and he followed me. I jumped on the California King Bed and patted my stomach letting him know he could come lay on me because he was still crying. There was nothing I could do but he there so here I am. He came over and layed between my leg with his head on my chest.

"I'm glad you didn't lay on my stomach cuz I don't need your big ass head smooshing me baby." I said running my fingers through his dreds. He smiled and that's exactly what I was hoping for but it wasn't long before he was crying again.

"I had to kill my sister because she killed my brotha." He said. Tre has a little accent that I don't have and it is so fucking cute. I love to hear him talk.

"It will get better soon. I don't know when but soon. When my mama died I cried so much even though she had me taken away from my family. I still loved her. But it all got better. I'm grieving to Tre. I've cried so much til I can't even cry anymore. Especially at the fact that my child will grow up with no father."

"I'll help you."

"Yeah and be the god father."

"Lani, I don't think I can live here. And I already moved out of my apartment. I don't have anywhere to go."

"Yeah you do."

"Nah cuz mama be playing."

"You can come live with me. Get some of your clothes you can spend the night." He just layed there and didn't move. "5 more minutes."

"2." He layed here for two more minutes and got up.  I drove to Mike first to tell him what's going on.

"Come in. Stay down here while I go up stairs to talk to him."

I walked up stairs to the room and took off his jacket.

"Baby, Tre is coming to live with me."

"No hell."

"Yes hell. He doesn't have anywhere else to go. He can't live in Cai's house right now and I'm sure you know exactly why and he has already moved out of his apartment. You act like you don't trust me."

"Well you did come to me when you and Cai was having one little problem and have sex with me." I stepped back from him because I was so close to slapping him. That hurt to.

"Don't you ever." I said pointing my finger at him. "It wasn't one little problem. He fucking cheated Michelangelo. And I broke up with him too. I needed to be held and you held me so you can get out of here with that. You wanted it just as much as I did. I told you earlier I- you know what I don't even have to explain myself to you right now. Bye." He grabbed my wrists and I looked at him like he was stupid.

"I'm sorry. I just don't trust him." I snatched my wrists away from him.

"Everybody is not like you."

I walked down the stairs got Tre and we got in the car.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Nah you only drive with your left elbow propped on the door and hand on your chin and right hand on the while when you irritated mad or thinking. Just like Cai."

"Mike just said some stupid shit."

"Like?"

"Basically he doesn't trust me and he thinks you have feelings for me."
