(IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE AT END)
Valerie
3 Week Later..
I've finally gotten Elijah back and I should be happy. But, for some odd reason, I'm not. I know I should be because everything I've wanted has happened but, nothings the way it used to be.
Dom's not as happy as I want him to be. In plus, he and his "sister" were close as ever and with her away his only entertainment is his toys and homework. And not even that makes him happy.
"Baby."
I looked up at Keith as he stood inbetween my legs while I sat on the counter. Sighing I smiled at him.
"What you got on your mind?"
Scoffing I scratched my nose.
"Nothing! I feel perfect."
"Liar." He said stepping back.
I grabbed him pecking his lips slowly.
"I fine." I smiled widely.
"You a lie."
I rolled my eyes shoving him.
"My son hates me.."
Keith frowned holding onto my waist.
"He doesn't hate you, he's adjusting to you. It's been awhile Val, he'll be back to normal soon."
"When?" I spat. "When he finishes high school?"
Keith looked at me with a straight face.
"Don't be smart, just wait."
Sliding off the counter I grabbed my purse.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"Work." I said opening the front door before closing it.
Uh.
I have an attitude.
Odell
I sat on the floor of my apartment starring up at the ceiling above.
Destiny's jumping around.
Again..
Walking upstairs, I opened her bedroom door to her jumping from the bunkbed to the couch below.
I caught her before she nearly missed the couch.
"Stop before you break your neck.."
Putting her on the couch, I began to walk back to the door.
"Wait, I'm not going to school today?"
I cringed shrugging slowly.
"Do what you want.."
Not even gonna lie, I've had the worst few days ever. Ciara got a restraining order against me and is trying to get me to sign divorce papers. My little buddy Dom's gone. And when football comes back around I'll be suspended for too many games to count. It's just all too much.
And for once I can't even blame it on Valerie.
Because honestly it's not her fault.
I'm selfish and need to except that. It's my fault that all this stuff is happening. But, I don't wanna believe it.
I feel like I owe Valerie an apology.
Turning around I looked at Destiny, who was organizing her bookshelf.
"Hey Des."
"Yeah?" She answered.
"Wanna go to California?"
