Always My Thug

seventeen.

Diamond's POV

"Suspended from school RJ." I said as we came though the door.

Laiyah and I was coming from picking up RJ from school because he was in a fight.

"It wasn't my fault." he said defending his case.

"Yeah? Then who fault was it Rodney?"

"That's not my name! My name is RJ!" he yelled.

"No, your name is Rodney Quillen Thomas Jr." I said.

"Where's my dad?" he asked.

"RJ, don't try and change the subject. Now, your dad will be here any minute to handle you." I said.

"Whatever."

He went to the kitchen and grabbed something to drink.

"RJ, are you even listening to me?" I asked

"I'm trying not to but you keep talking." he said going into the living room turning on the TV.

"Wait a minute. You know you're not supposed to be watching television." I said turning it off.

"STOP TRYING TO BE MY MOM! BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT, OKAY! YOU'RE LAIYAH'S AND KALEN'S MOM, NOT MINES!" he screamed.

"Aye, boy get yo axs up them damn stairs." Rodney said coming in.

He slammed his drink on the table and started is way upstairs.

"Boy is you crazy?" Rodney said snatching him by the shirt.

"Get that damn cup and say sorry." he said letting him go.

He grabbed his cup and apologize. Then went upstairs.

"What happened?" he asked pulling me on the couch.

"He got into a fight." I said.

"No not at school, I'm talking about just now."

"I was talking to him and he wasn't listening. Came in and turned on the TV then I turned it off. Then he started screaming at me. That's when you came in."

"Damn baby, I'm so sorry."

"Rodney, I've been raising this damn boy for three damn years. And he just starts disrespects me out of nowhere."

"He's getting use to not always seeing his mom." he said.

"But that doesn't give him the right!" I yelled.

"I didn't say it did Diamond. But you got to give him time."

"I'm thinking he needs someone to talk to." I suggested.

"Like?"

"Kid's Therapy." I said.

"No, my child is not going to therapy look something is wrong with him."

"Rodney as you saw something is wrong with him. He's fighting with Kalen, pushing on Laila, and screaming at me. Something is wrong with him."

"The hell you mean pushing on Laila?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"No, something. What you mean pushing on Laila?" he asked again.

I've knew that I've said a little to much.

"Diamond, I'm going to ask you this one last time?"

"Every time she goes and hug him, he pushes her away. But not hard." I said.

He got up and went upstairs and I grabbed Laiyah and went outside. I knew that he went to neat RJ's axs. Didn't want to be around for that.

"Hey mommy, look what I can do." she said dribbling the ball
