"You know what Whitney? I've done everything I've could for you and you hurt me like this?!" Amarquis bent down and coughed.
I rushed over to him and grabbed his arm a...
I had to pause for a second and get my life together. Not just because I was shocked to see her but This wasn't even the same girl that I remember.
Last time I seen Ashlyn was the day I found out that Whitney had been shot.

She was thicker and she wasn't this ratchet chick I remember. I was so caught up in her beauty until it hit me of how she betrayed me and had a major part in getting my pops killed. Before I knew it I was angry as shit.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I snarled at her
"Amarquis I came here to talk and get everything out and on the table. Can we please talk." Ashlyn looked at me in the face
I stood there hesitant for a second. Even though I'm over my pops dying. I still need closure on everything so I can move forward with my life.
I ran my hands down my face, "Yeah. Come on."
Ashlyn grabbed the baby and followed behind me until we got my door. I unlocked the door and cut the lights on and let her go in first before closing and locking the door behind me.
"Can I lay him down first?"
"Down the hall first door on your right." I said as I put my keys down. I couldn't help but look at her body as she disappeared down the hall. "Damn" I mumbled
Not many seconds later, she came back down the hall and stopped. "In here" I said taking a gulp of my Hennessy I had just poured myself in the living room.
Ashlyn came in and sat down on the couch far away from me. She began fumbling with her fingers indicating to me that she was nervous. Hell I was too but I wasn't going to let her know that.
"So why did you come here?" I asked breaking the silence.
"I told you. I wanted to get everything off the table and clear the air with you. We have a son together and he needs his father just like-"
"Yeah you can stop that bullshit now. You and I both know why you stayed away so long and in return my father was killed over your selfish ass." I spat
"Amarquis. I know what you're thinking but your son-"
"Son? I haven't seen daniel in months, that's not my son.
"Yes he is." Ashlyn yelled
"Well why haven't you let him see me." I hit the table
"Because I was angry with you! You left me broke and with a newborn child. I couldn't support myself let alone him but I did what I had to do to make sure he was okay. I'm sorry that that meant screwing you over." Ashlyn began to cry
I put my head in my hands and sighed before going over to console her. I put my hand on her back and she flinched.
At that moment I felt guilty for ever raising my hand at her. Even though I never actually hit her, I felt ashamed that I even put fear into her heart. I know I didn't hit her so who else did?
