Bryson Tiller: All Grown Up

11

The flight was sooooooooo fucking long. I can't wait to get in my bed and just relax. We finally are off the plane and on our way back to the house. To my surprise our parents beat us to the house and was outside playing in the pool with the kids. I smiled as I was getting out the car running up to the pool.

"Sisssssyyy" lani and Bj said in unison

"Hey lil turtles?" I said smiling hard

I can't lie and say I didn't miss them because that's a straight up lie. I missed my family so damn much.

I got a FaceTime call from one of my best friends called me and started going a million miles per hour talking.

PHONE CONVO:

Harley: hello?

?: GirlLetMeTellYouWhatMeAndKyrieDidThisWeekend

Harley: Aubrey can you please slow down and talk English.

Aubrey: okay Kyrie came over to my house this weekend while my parents were away and maybe if you were in town and not kissing all over Daniel you could have been to the best party of 2016.

Harley: OMG you had the party without me

Aubrey: I told you that it was this weekend and you're the one who decided to go on vacation.

Harley: but you, Alliyah, and myself have been planning this party for months every since we found out about the trip your parents were planning, I just don't understand why you did it without me?

Aubrey: I'm sorry Harley please don't be mad at me.

Harley; I'm not it's cool maybe be can have another party at my house when my parents go somewhere

Aubrey: that's a deal but I'm bout to come over I miss you

Harley: ight boo

I hung up the phone with Aubrey and watched everyone get out the pool.

"Get in the house now everyone" my mother demanded

"How you go from loving and sweet to now a demon in disguise?" I asked her

"Because we need to sit down as a family and have a talk"

"Well don't talk that long Aubrey will be here soon" I said rolling my eyes

"And that attitude right there" my dad pointed in my face "you gone knock that shit out right fucking now"

I walked into the living room and sat down watching everyone else take their seats and kehlani sits on my lap.

"Okay what made us want to have this meeting was because as you know Bryson has come back and wants to be in our lives. I want to sit everyone down and figure out if that's what you guys want or no?" "What bout you kehlani?"

"I mean yes, I love daddy and I want him to be in our lives it's so depressing not having daddy here and him not wanting nothing to do with us" kehlani said starting to cry

"Bj?" My mother asked

"I don't think we need daddy honestly, he's been gone so far why come back
Now?" Bj said with a straight face

"Kehlani?" My mom said

I rolled my eyes thinking of what to say and I'm not finna hold back I got a lot of shit to get off my mind.

"Bryson" I said his name then started laughing "Bryson ole Bryson, the nigga that left me when I was 6 and wants to come back when I'm 10 like everything all good in the hood. You really think I need you nigga? You ain't nothing but a dead beat father, matter fact you ain't even a father you don't deserve that title. What you do deserve is a sperm DONER. You ain't be there for me. Mommas boyfriends have been there more than you have. Chase, King, everyone has been more of a dad then you have. You got 3 children and you can't even set a good enough example. I've told you every time I had a game where it was at and what time. I never seen you at one single
Fucking game my whole basketball career. I love you dad but I hate you. I used to look up to you as my role model and now I don't even have that anymore. You died a long time ago. And now that you've come
Back to life you want the family to just
Jump straight into your arms and forgive you? HELL TO THE MF'ING NAH it don't work that way. You hurt my momma over and fucking over again selling her them same
Bullshit ass lies since you met her and she's believed you. We don't need to hurt anymore Bryson. I'm tired of seeing my momma hurt and being sick and tired. So if you here to cause more damage the door is like 15 feet away get to steppin'"

Nobody had nothing else to say, they just looked at me and said nothing. I kept looking at everyone then my
Dad finally spoke up.

"Harley I'm sorry, I'm so sorry baby I can't go back in time and change those ten years but I promise from the bottom of my heart that I
Wish I could go back and get every last minute back. I love you Harley, I love all my kids even Daniel. Please give
Me a chance let me show you that I'm
Never leaving again and I want you guys to be my family. Please I will get
On my knees and beg. Harley I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sidney, I'm so sorry for putting you through the cheating, I'm sorry for making you cry, I'm sorry for not being here as your husband, I AM SO FUCKING SORRY I DIDNT LOVE YOU LIKE YOU LOVED ME, I sorry to my whole family for not being here"

I looked at my dad on his knees crying and pleading like he in a trial bout
To get sentenced to the death penalty. I
Got out my seat and went to give him a hug.

"I love you daddy" I said and just laid my head on his shoulders and
Cried in his arms like a little girl

(Man writing that I started actually crying, Jesus help me)

I heard the door bell ring

"Who is that?" I asked and for a second I almost forgot Aubrey was on her way to the house. "Okay everyone wipe your tears and act like nothing has happened, Aubrey is here" I said getting up to go get the door.
