"Fuck you that is not my man!" I threw a Cheeto at him

"Fuck you that is not my man!" I threw a Cheeto at him.

"Mmh." Jay cleared her throat.

"Fuck both of y'all!" I rolled my eyes. "Just answer my question." I got back to the reason of this conversation.

"Nah he told me earlier he had to do some shit today."

"So he talk to you but not me." I felt salty a little--okay a lot. "Thanks!!" I stood up "I'll see y'all later." I walked off.

>>>>

Pulling up to frat house it was a moving truck there, not really paying attention to it I went into the house. Going to August room he was packing his room.

"You gettin' yah own place?" I frowned.

Usually he'll tell me everything but this time he didn't.

"Wad chu want Nikki?" He said with a hint of anger, not tuning around.

"What's wrong with you? Why you ignorin' me?" I walked up next time. "And why you ain't tell me you was movin' today?"

"Don't worry bout it." August mumbled.

"Baby what's wrong with you?" I grabbed his hand just for him to snatch away from me.

"Why yah hea' bruh?"

"Bruh?" I raised my eyebrows "August if you got a fuckin' problem with me tell me, don't beat around the bush and have a damn attitude!"

"Yo ass my problem!! You fucked my life up!! If I woulda neva' fought yo dumb ass baby daddy a nigga wouldn't be gettin' kicked out ova' yo stupid ass!!"

"Stupid?! I'm stupid?" I questioned "I didn't tell you to go fight his retarded ass, did I? No I didn't!! I told you to leave the shit alone!! But no what August do? Go fight him! If you wanna blame your problems on someone you should start with yourself stupid ass bitch!!" I walked to the door.

"Fuck you!!"

"Fuck you too!!" I walked out the house.

>>>>

Locking myself in my bathroom I silently cried, while holding Aaliyah.

"Marcus go away!!" I whined "I promise I'm not fuckin' with that boy." I referred to August.

"Bitch don't fuckin' lie to me!!" He jiggled the door knob.

"Marcus I'm not lyin' I havin' seen him in a week!!" I lied.

"Bitch if I find out yo ass lyin' Imma do much worse than that damn black eye!"

Hearing his footsteps walk away the door open and slammed shut. Knowing better I didn't move a bit because I knew he could possibly be playing games.

"Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are? Up--above." Singing threw my tears I looked down at a half sleep Liyah.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I whispered rocking back and froth cradling her.

Staying in the bathroom for twenty more minutes, I got off the floor opening the door to be faced with Marcus.

"Yo ass better stay away from him. You hear me?" He grabbed my throat.

"Yes!" I held on to Aaliyah, making sure not to drop her.

Letting me go he walked out the apartment. Hurrying to the door I locked both locks.

Going to my room I laid Liyah down on my bed surrounded her with pillows. Going back to the bathroom to clean my face I looked in the mirror. Wiping the dried up blood from underneath my nose, I couldn't even cry no more. Getting a frozen bag of peas and broccoli from the freezer, I held them up to my face.

"I gotta get out of here." I whispered to myself.
