When I found her..
She was high as ever riding some guy.
Like really. Left yo daughter for this? Hoe ass thot. The car was barely in park before I jumped out of it. I tore her off his dick and start beating her ass. It was a good 5 minutes before Dawaun came out of nowhere and pulled me off of her.
"You know she got HIV right?" I spit at the dude.
"I gave it to her." He says simply shrugging. "And since you wanna mess up a nigga fuck, get over here and ride this dick!"
I immediately see red. I grab the closest thing to me and throw it, I think it was a chair. I punch him in his face thousand times before I kick him in his balls, his naked ass balls.
"Nigga fuck yo little dick having HIV ass I should kill you right now on the spot but Imma let karma do that shit." I go off on his ass then walk out. Dawaun follows me but I was walking too fast. I got in his car and took off before he could follow me. I needed time alone.
*A while later*
I finally pull in the driveway at home. I don't know how long I've been gone but I needed to cool down. Makenzie entire life really pisses me off. She just needed her ass beat one more time.
I open the door and my aunt tackles me in a hug before its all the way open.
"Brooklynn I was worried about you." She gets out in between sobs. I hug her and rub her back.
"I'm good auntie."
"I wasn't," Dawaun says. I smack my lips. "I was worried about the rest of world. A pissed Brooklynn on the loose. Beware. I started to call the new teams and tell them make an urgent announcement 'Brooklynn Williams On The Loose Off. Stay Indoors Until She Is Reported Under Control.' Or get the S.W.A.T Team on yo ass." I straight face him and he starts laughing.
"Dawaun told me what happened." My aunt says after he finished laughing. I stay silent. "She not coming back around this baby." I nod my head as my aunt continue to speak. What she was saying was irrelevnt.
"Can I talk to Dawaun alone?"
"Sure." She goes to tend to Serai cause I hear her crying. Me and Dawaun sit down.
"So you gonna raise the baby by yourself or put her up for adoption?" I ask.
"I gotta. I'm not puttin my child up for adoption. But I don't know if I can do it alone."
"Don't worry, I gotchu. Godmom is always here to help Serai and Bestfriend is always here to help Dawaun."
"Thank god. I don't know if I'd be able to handle with her hitting puberty." I laugh.
"Yeah I got you."
"We got this." He sets his hand on my leg. I place my hand on top of his.
"Yes we do bestfriend." He kisses my forehead then I look up at him.
"Its us against the world."
*4 months later*
Dawaun, Serai and I are sitting on the couch watching news. All of a sudden we hear this:
BREAKING NEWS!!
JOHN DOWER, LEROY SMITH, MAKENZIE SMITH AND 8 OTHERS FOUND DEAD IN A CRACKHOUSE DOWNTOWN.
MORE DETAILS TO COME.
Shit. Funeral #4.
*6 years later*
"Serai come downstairs, breakfast is ready!" I yell up the stairs.
"Coming mommy!" She yells back.
"Babe did you make my plate?" Dawaun asks coming into our kitchen.
"Babe did you break your hands?" I reply
"I'll take that as a no." He sighs.
"Good boy." I kiss his cheek.
"Ready!" Serai yells running into the kitchen. She looks so cute inher little pink outfit even though I told her all black or at least something black. She really loves the color pink.
"Sit down and eat breakfst." I say setting her plate down in front of her. "And didn't I say all black?"
"Yes but pink is so pretty mommy!"
"Yea yea whatever. Just eat," I say. " I'll be down in 10 minutes." They were both dressed except me. I ran upstairs and threw my clothes on. I did my hair and makeup then grabbed my purse. I looked myself once over in my new full length mirror my aunt bought me as a house warming gift. After i approved my apperance I went back downstairs.
"Ready?" I call from our living room.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeesssss!" Serai runs out of the kitchen.
"Stop running in my house lil girl." Dawaun yells coming out the kitchen.
"Lets go." I say rushing them out the door. We get in the car and head towards the cemetary.
When we get there, Dawaun parks the car and we get out. We walk over to her grave. Dawaun says a prayer and I leave some flowers by her headstone.
When we get back in the car, I take a deep breath to keep from crying. I know what you're thinking, yes Makenzie's life pissed me off but I did love her at one point so her death was a bit hard for me. And 6 years later it still burns a bit. I look at Dawaun and he looks at me. I wipe his tear that was fallin from his eye. He smiles.
"Its us against the world." He sighs. I smile.
"Mommy!" I turn around.
"Yes?"
"Can me and Justin go to the park?" Her 'best friend'.
"If his mom says so." Dawaun starts up the car and starts driving in the direction of Justin's house while I call his mom. She said yes.
After we pick him up we take the to the park. Dawaun and I sit on a bench and watch them play.
"Its been 6 years." He says after some silence.
"Yea."
"How ya feel?"
"Torn still." He pulls me into him.
"Its gonna be okay."
"I know. I just feel so bad that we can't tell her what happened to her real mom. And we keep having to pretend to be married so she can have a mother and father and know that parents are suppose to be married."
"In due time. We'll tell her when she's older and ready." He says rubbing my back.
"I love you." He smiles.
"I love you." Then me and my bestfriend go back to watching the kids play until sunset.
