For The Road

Chapter 51

"Waahh!," Layah cries and wakes us up.

"Your turn," we both say. I groan and get up, I walk to her room. I pick her up and rock her in the rocker chair. I grab the blanket and spread it over us. As I rock her to sleep, I fall asleep as well.

I hear a snap, a camera taking a picture. I jump up with Layah still in my arms. Tyler is laughing and posting something on the internet.

"Ew don't post that I look ugly in the morning," I say putting Layah's head on my shoulder. 

"Shut up with all of that, you look like a goddess," I smile and kiss him. I walk downstairs, and begin to make breakfast. "See babe your not ugly you got 67 likes," he says, showing me the picture. I roll my eyes and finish breakfast.

"Ding Dong!," Tyler lays on the couch.

"Your not going to get that? ," I ask him. He looks at me and smiles, I walk to the door and slap his forehead. He gets up and rushes towards me, I open the door and laugh. Chyna and Harris walk in, I smile and Chyna gives a confused face. We will talk, I tell her in facial expression. She nods and set Hailey in the playpen  with Layah. Harris and Tyler go in the back and start talking.

"Spill it," she says, I finish to make breakfast.

"Well 2days after the whole scene, he apolgized," She wasn't buying it.

"Rosalyn no hate to my cousin, but he fucking beat you. why are you still with him?,"

"Chyna I am in love with him. Hell we have a child together. I can't leave him, sometimes I want to but he is my everything," I look outside and see him smile at Harris' comment. I smile and turn back to Chyna, her facial expression is tired. "What?," she raises her hands and takes a slice of bacon.

"Come on Layah, " I pick her up. "Your getting fat," I blow onto her stomach, she laughs. I grab her diaper bag and sone toys and walk downstairs. Tyler is asleep on the couch, I don't want to wake him. I go to my mother's and to the grocery store. "Mom!," I knock on the door holding Layah.

"It ain't ya mama!," my dad yells, he opens the door. I smile and hug him hello. "Layah you getting big on grandpa," he saus picking her up.

"Yeah she is, where mom?,"

"Picking Marlon from jail," My eyes widen.

"What you mean what happened?," I ask sitting down.

"He got into a serious bar fight, " I rolled

eyes and shook my head. My father put Layah down on the couch and she sucked her fingers and watched us talk.

"Mama!," Layah yelled.

"Yes baby," I say changing her.

"Ah!," She yells and starts talking to her self.

"Uh Huh," I nod and put her clothes back on. We hear my mothers car beep and her keys opening the door.

"Mom it is not my fault," Marlon says. Her response j s throwing her keys down and picking up Layah.  "So your not going to listen," he asks. "Fuck you then,"

"Hey watch your mouth your under my roof," my father says stern. 

"Whatever, " he sucks his teeth and pulls out a cigarette.

"Marlon can you not smoke in here, Layah is here," I say packing up her stuff.

"No she can go upstairs,"

"Why are you being hard headed, just please," I say getting mad.

"No," he laughs.

"Mom should've left you in jail," I mumble. I feel his cold hands around my neck. My father and mother get up. "You need to be trained," I say trying to breathe.

"Marlon let go of her," My father said trying to pull him off of me.

"You were my role model but now your just another black guy lost in a world," I say. He back hand slaps me, I fall to the ground.

"Hey!," My dad says to Marlon. My mother rushes  to my aid. "Don't ever touch your sister like that," Marlon begins attacking him and blowing punches.

"Marlon stop!," I yell and pulling him off.  "What happened to respect your parents! That bitch you been with has changed you! You lost your spot in college and your job! What happened!," I yell in his face. 

"Yall calm down," My mother says.

"Sorry mom I'm just fed up," I grab Layah's diaper bag and grab Layah.

"Says the girl that got knocked up at 17," he says sitting on the couch.

"Damn right, and I am happy with my family," I shake my head at him. "Mom I'll call you, tell me how Dad is feeling," I walk outside.

"Alright yall be safe," she says helping me get Layah into the car.

"Okay mom love you," I kiss her on the cheek and drive off.
