Odell

Since the other night I've been trying to figure out what's been going on with my wife. I know that she's been dealing with the lost of her mother but I can't take it anymore. It has to stop.

She has terrible mood swings. One minute she's depressed, a few minutes later she's happy, and then next she's angry and aggravated.

Victoria was in the shower and I was downstairs cleaning the kids' mess after dropping them off to school. Once I finished, I walked up the stairs. I began cleaning us the room. While fixing the bed, I tripped over Victoria's purse. I sighed reached to pick it up when a small bag of pills fell out. My face scrunched in confusion. What in the hell are she doing with these?

I picked her purse and kept the pills in my hand. She walked into the room and grabbed her purse off the dresser before walking back into the bathroom. I opened the door and walked in.

"You looking for this?" I threw the pills on the counter. She looked at me and was about to say something but didn't. I knew she could tell that I was pissed off. Angry wasn't the word to describe how I felt right now.

"How long have you been taking this?" I asked quietly but she didn't answer.

"How long?" My voice raised a bit higher.

"A month." She said looking down.

"And where did you get them from?"

"Toya."

I walked out of the bathroom and she followed.

"Odell I'm sorry." She said.

"Your sorry? What in the hell were you thinking Tori? Were you even thinking at all! What if something would've happened to you? What if our son would've gotten to these pills? Did you even stop for one minute to think about anything!" She jumped at the sound of my voice and backed up.

She sighed. "I'm sorry ok! I was hurting. I couldn't deal with it anymore. So I used the pills to help me deal with my pain!" She said.

"You know what I've noticed? All you could do is care about yourself lately? It always about you! We don't matter anymore Victoria? Don't you care? Because if you did, you wouldn't be doing what you've been doing!"

Her phone rang and I picked it up. It was Toya. I threw her phone at the wall and watched it break into pieces.

"Have you lost your damn mind?" She asked. She picked up her phone.

"No, but I'm about to lose my wife."

(A/N: Yeah I used this from a Madea movie. 👀)

I took my ring off and threw it on the bed. I walked out of the room and she followed me. Before I made it to the door she grabbed my arm and tried to stop me from leaving but I I got out of her grasp and kept walking.

Victoria

After my husband left out the door, I sat in the middle off the floor, crying my eyes out. I knew it was all my fault.

I know mama is turning over in her grave right about now. What have I become? All the things I've been doing, it isn't what Victoria what do.

It's a shame. Because after all of this time, I'm just now realizing that I need to get myself together. And that's just what I need to do.

Mimi

"Baby you have to get up. You can't keep doing this to yourself." My husband said.

He's right. I can't keep throwing my life away. I need to get myself together before I lose something else. I've worked too hard to let everything else go. I got up out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. I took a good shower and got out.

I got dressed and began cleaning up the house. After that I spent some time with the kids and my husband. We haven't done anything in a while.

A few hours later, Maddie ended up coming over.

"I'm so happy to see that your up." She said.

"Yeah. I'm trying to get myself together." I said.

"That's good. Did you talk to Victoria?"

"No. It's been almost a week since we've talked."

"We never go that long without talking. And she hasn't been answering her phone. I hope nothing's wrong."

"Yeah but I've been thinking, I'm going to go to rehab, to make sure that I don't go back to alcohol. I need to do this for my family."

She nodded. "I understand. While you do that. I think I'm going to go to New York and check on Tori. I'm worried about her.

I nodded. "Good. Tell her I love her." I hugged her and she hugged me.

"I will."
