Amariee
"Mommy?" Wiggles said sitting by me.
"What are you doing here Savanna?" He asked.
There was silence. A long awkward silence. I stood back up to my feet and looked at him then at her then back at him.
"Daddy!" The little girl cried.
I raised my eyebrow at him.
I looked at King and he picked Wiggled up and came back shortly. I starting giving Evan the death stare.
"I'm so sorry, ma'am I didn't know he had a wide let alone a family." Savanna said. I looked at her for the first time she looked 18 or so.
"How old are you." I said dryly.
"I'm 18." I felt King grab my shoulders.
"She's 18-" I started laughing "one year older your son."
I walked away. I had to go. I walked to my room and hit the floor. I instantly feel to the floor crying. I can't believe I was cheated on with a baby. I heard my door open and someone hold me.
"What do you need me to do?" I heard King ask.
"Go tell your little sisters to pack." He walked out the room.
I continue to cry until I felt a little hand run my back.
"Daddy said he sorry." Kaitlyn said softly in my ear.
"You ready? We're going to go to Grandma Nora house." I said ignoring her comment.
"Granny Nora!" She said as she kissed my cheek.
I picked her up and we walked to the kids rooms. Kingsley had his duffle bag packed. Nya was on the phone.
"Who she talking to?" I asked King.
"Some nigga name Michael. She think she fucking grown, when knock both they ass out she gone see who grown." He said then she rolled her eyes.
"Language." I told him. "You ready, little girl?"
She stood up and nodded. King grabbed both of their bags and we walked to the front.
"Kaitlyn Alexis." I called as I made it to the front door.
"I coming mommy." She said running around the corner with her backpack on.
Nya picked her up and I grabbed my GMC Yukon keys. I opened the door and came face to face with Evan. His normally brown face was now red and his eyes was puffy. I felt my heard too looking at his face. It felt like I did something wrong and he was innocent.
"Look, Amariee, I'm sorry. Can we talk about this?" He said softly.
I looked at King and handed him my keys.
"Go start the car and I'll be there inna while." I told him and he did as he was told. "Talk."
"Look. It was the night we got into that huge fight. The same night you broke all the dishes in the house by throwing them at me. That night. I went out to go get a drink and a drink turned into 10. 10 turned into 20. So forth and so on. I was drunk so drunk to where I could barely stand. The bartender told me I couldn't drive myself home, because I had to many drinks. Then Savanna came and paid for my drinks and took me to get house. After that I only remeber pieces and Savanna dropping me off at the Bar the next morning. I came straight home--we made Kaitlyn. You was so happy and I couldn't tell you. Last month she came up to my job flipping tables and throwing chairs telling me how I'm supposed to take care of my daughter. So I gave her 1,000 dollars that night. She started blowing up my phone telling me if I didn't give her 2,000 this month she was gone tell you and basically everyone. I went to her apartment and tried to give her the 2,000 dollars, but she tried to double it. And tonight happened. I'm sorry, Amariee. She don't mean shit to me. Yea, that's the mother of daughter but not the love of my life." Evan said towards the end he started crying again.
"Okay, Evan. I just- I just need some time to think." I said.
I got into the car and drove 45 minutes to my mama house. I rung my mama doorbell 3 times and she came and opened it.
"What's the matter, baby girl?" She asked embracing me inna hug.
"Evan cheated." I said crying into the crook of her neck.
"It's okay. That Sosa boy who you was so obsessed with moved back in." She said.
I smiled a little bit and went to the car and woke up Kingsley and Nya and unstrapped Wiggles and walked into my mama house. I laid Kaitlyn in my old bed and Nya got in with her. I walked to the livingroom and laid on the couch. I started flipping throw the channels until I came across Lifetime. I watched some movie about this high school boy getting two girls pregnant at the same time in High School. I drifted off slowly.
Evan.
I have absolutely nothing. My wife, my kids, and half of my savings. I walked to re mailbox and noticed that Amariee didn't check the mailbox. I pulled everything out and pulled out all of my mail. I ran across an envelope that said Texas Department of Child Support. I took in a deep breathe and ripped it open. It said I was scheduled for a hearing on Monday, August 26. I walked back into my house. I started throwing and and everything I could get my hands on until I picked up Amariee and I wedding photo. I sat on the couch and cried and cried. I may never get my family back. If I do it'll never be the same. I walked over to the bottles and picked up the Hennessey and Patrón and started taking pure shots until both brand-new bottles was half empty then stubbled to my room and passed out on the floor.
Author's Note: Jamison, James, is back and Quinton is hasn't in this book. If you can't tell Evan has a drinking problem which will be important later on. I'm going to TRY and update once a week or once every two weeks.
