Games played Part22

It's been 3 weeks and all Mike can focus on  is

"Who Shot Jasmine"?

It's just odd if it wasnt Todd who was it.

Mike stood by his bedroom window looking down as the cars passed by

"Damn" he said shaking his head

"Baby what's wrong" Angela said picking up her son Aiden walking towards Mike

He turns around and looks at her

"Angela I just don't understand why haven't I got a phone call back yet about my son I'm so lost and why have we gotten no update about who Shot Jasmine through that window..it just all makes no sense to me .."he said sitting in his recliner chair burying his face inside his hands.

Angela just listened because at this point she does not know what to say, she doesn't even understand what he is feeling at this point

All she knows is she loves Mike and she plans on being there for him and being with him.

Sometimes people forget that it's hard to relate and say I understand if they have never been in your shoes.

"I just think it all takes time I pray it doesn't take too much longer to get answers I really want you to have your son here with us because he needs you " she says looking at him wishing she could take away Mikes pain.

She walks Aiden to the door and looks back at Mike and says

"I'll be back im taking Aiden to My mother's for the weekend so we can get focused on this legal stuff that's going on would you like me to stop at Chewy Burgers and bring you some food back "?

He looked up and just shook his head
"No sweetHeart I'm good I'm good"and just layed his head back in his hands

Angela just closed the door exhausted because sense the funeral it's been hard to get Mike to eat anything he has lost weight and has not said much of anything.

She pulls into her Mom's parking lot

Walks into the house to smell the house smelling like her Mom's famous collard greens and oxtails cooking

So she goes straight to the kitchen

"Maaaaaa oh my gosh you have it smelling so good in here"she yelled with a smile.

"Girl wash your hands before you open my pots"her mom yelled as she walked into the kitchen limping and walking slow because she is walking with a cane now due to the fact she is always having seizures she lost feeling on one side of her body but she doesn't let that stop her from living life .

"Mama why you still treat me like a child"Angela said pouting her lip out n hugging her mom with Aiden sleep on her shoulder  her mom leans in to kiss Aiden on the cheek

"Girl go put that big ole boy down he gone be so spoiled let him be a man BabyGirl"her mom said pointing to the back room

"Okay ma he is only a toddler mom he has a while before he needs to learn to be a man ."she laughs laying Aiden down . Angela kissed him on the cheek and walked back to where her mom was. Now she was in the dining area sitting watching TV .

Angela sits down n says nothing

Her mother stares at her

"What's wrong BabyGirl "? She asked because like any mother she knows her child.

"Huh"

"Dont huh me Angela Elizabeth",she said in that stern voice when you know she means business.

Angela immediately started crying.

"Mom so much has been happening and I'm not understanding at all why is this happening to me Around me so many people are dying and I'm just wondering am I next who's gonna take care Aiden ma" Angela completely broke down

Her mom just stared at her and listened

"Because I carried you and your my child I know you are smart you are strong and most of all you are a survivor i don't know what's happening with you but I need you to never be afraid and remember to never let people play you for the fool .
Play dumb but stay smart
Don't get so caught up in things that you forget your position "

Angela looked up at her mom

"Mama have you been spying on me"Angela laughed with tears coming down her cheeks

"No BabyGirl I told you your my child and most of all I pray for you😘"
