For The Road

Chapter 52

I walk into the house setting my keys down and Layah. Tyler was putting the dishes away , I smiled and put Layah on the couch.

"Hey babe," He kissed my cheek and continued to clean up. "Layah!," he dropped the mop and went to her.

"DADA!," She yells as raises her arms, he picks her up and walks around.

"So where did you go," he asks me. I rub my neck where Marlon's hands were.

"My moms, Marlon was there," he sits down and listens. "My mom bailed him out of jail and he got pissed at facing reality. I said something and he put his hands on me and my father," his eyes widen. "Yeah," I say picking up the blanket and placing it over me.

"You alright?," he asks me, putting Layah to sleep.

"Yeah, I would be better with a kiss," I say smiling.

"And I would feel good with a lap dance," I laugh at him.

"From who?," he looks at me and smirks. "Perv," I get up to grab a water. He slaps my butt and I jump. "Tyler!," I yell giggling. "Anyways I think we should start going for walks and run from now on," I offer. "How about tonight?,"

"We cant, we are going out with Chyna and Harris out to eat," I sit back into my seat.

"We?,"

"Yes we," he gets up and sits on my lap.

"Ugh your so fat," I groan. "You need to lose this tummy right here," I say trying to find fat on him.

"Lose what tummy?," he asks in a cocky tone.

"Nevermind, I love you," I say trying to patch it up.

"I love you too," he puckers his lips, I peck him. He smiles and pulls back the recliner. I squeal and giggle.

"Tyler no Layah is right there," I say stopping him.

"Layah," Tyler says. She response with a light snore. "See," I grab his collar and pull him down onto me.

****that night****

That night I was not feeling it, Tyler went running and I stayed home with Layah. I felt sluggish and fat, I walk around the house about the pace of a snail.

"Layah wanna take a nap nap?," She screams and Im guessing that's a no. "Please?," she shakes her head no. I set her on the ground with me, I hold her hands. "Walk baby," she laughs and she tries to walk. "Look at my baby," I smile so does she, I picked her up.

"Home!," I hear Tyler walking into the house.

"You want to see daddy?," I ask her shocked, she nods and I walk downstairs.

"Layah!," he says happily and takes her from me. I smile and walk to the feed Angus and let him wander the house. "Babe I have good news,"

"Lets hear it,"

"Im joining the army," he says.

"Your what?,"

"Im joining the army, it will be great-,"

"No why would you do that? Wouldn't you want to see your- Oh my gosh," I sit down and feel like Im about to go crazy.

"Babe listen-," I raise my heads and shake my head no. "Rosalyn," He grabs my hands. "I think it will be great because Layah would have a father in the army. I promise I'll be home,for birthday, Christmas, everything,"

"What if you don't make it back?," I ask him, no response. "Tyler I understand your father and grandfather were in the army but-,"

"Rosalyn nothing you say will back me change my mind, Im just letting you know,"

"Really?,"

"Yeah really I already signed up, I just thought I should tell you," I bite the insides of my lip and walk upstairs.  "Rosalyn baby," I slam the door and sit down on my bed. I need a break from everything.

**

3 hours later I walk downstairs and Tyler is on the couch watching TV. I grab my leftovers and heat them up.

"Did you feed Layah?," I ask him.

"Yeah shes playing with her toys," he says never looking at me. I nod and grab my food and leave, Angus follows. I get  my clothes out for work tomorrow, I decided my pantsuit with my black blazer and  my heels. I walk downstairs to throw my trash away, Tyler says something smart but I couldn't catch it.

"Im sorry what?," I ask smart, there I go.

"I said your being a bitch," I roll my eyes knowing what's going to happen next.

"Okay Tyler, Im being a bitch because I don't want you to go out there and die? Then yeah call me a bitch, "I say rolling my eyes.

"There you go with the attitudes,"

"Attitudes really! Do whatever you want, go ahead," I say walk to the stairs.

"Rosalyn I do want to go into the milarty but I want to leave knowing that you will support me. If you cant then its best for us to separate," I nod, so this is really really our point. I thought all of those times where it, but this is bigger. I hear a loud thud, I look at Layah to make sure she didn't fall. It was thunder and it was raining out.

"Tyler I-I honestly don't know if I want to support you or not," I say not believing my own  words. Truth is I don't support him.

"Okay I understand," he backs away and leaves the house. I sit down and take a breather.

***next day***

I wake up the moving and shuffling sounds, I look at the clock. Time for me to wake up, I rolled over and Tyler wasn't there. But many boxes where, everywhere. I got up and walked around the house, boxes, boxes, and more boxes. I picked up one, Tyler's Shoes I drop the box surprised.

"Nah just put the box in the car andI'll talk to my house," I hear Tyler's voice. I walk downstairs, Tyler looks at me and picks up the box.

"Whats going on?," Harris wipes his forehead with his arm and looks at me then Tyler.

"Oh you didn't-," Harris says, he walks outside with another box.

"Your leaving?,"

"Yes, I uhm," he sets the box back down. "The way you told me you support me but at the same time you don't,"

"I didn't say that, you are-, "

"Its okay, we will discuss the divorce and everything another day. I might send letters to Layah and you," He  hugs me and walks away. I walk upstairs speechless and get dressed. I fall to my knees and cry, I cant help it. The one I won back is leaving me again. This time might not even coming back .
