French Heartbreakers

Setting Matters Straight 2

Author's POV:
So far, Larry has been determined and working hard in the physical rehab. Everyday, Larry used the thoughts of Laurent, Mya and his son as motivation. His coach helped Larry with stretches, aerobics, cardio and even dance routines. Sometimes Laurent and Mya would stop by his sessions as a supper system.

While Larry was working towards complete recovery, Laurent and Mya grew close. They're love for music has made them family. Both families stepped up and helped with Larry jr. One night, the front door knob was twisted and someone entered the house in all black. The person slowly walked up the stairs. While Mya was sleeping, she slightly woke up to Larry jr's cries. Once Mya sat up, her son stopped crying. Since Mya brought her son home, this has never happened before. Mya thought it was strange. She went into Laurent's room and whispered,

"Lau...wake up. Wake up."

Laurent woke up half way and whispered,

"Why are you in my room?"
"I heard something. I think someone is in the house." Mya whispered.
"What?" Laurent quickly said and hopped out of bed.

Laurent grabbed a wooden bat and creeped into the hallway. Mya followed behind him. Laurent and Mya walked to Larry jr's room. The person's big hands picked up Larry jr from the crib. They held Larry jr close to the chest. Larry jr rested his head on the shoulder. Laurent slowly opened the door and saw a tall, dark person; holding Larry jr.

"MY BABY!!" Mya frightfully screamed.

Laurent swung the bat and hit the wall. Larry jr woke up screaming and crying.

"LAURENT, ITS ME! PUT THE BAT DOWN!!" The person fearfully shouted.

Mya quickly turned on the lights in the nursery to reveal it was Larry.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING SNEAKING IN THE HOUSE AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT?" Mya shouted.

Laurent put the bat down, approached Larry with open arms and said,

"Oh my god, my brother's home. What's up my nigga!"

After they hugged, Mya asked,

"Laurent, could you please take Junior out the room. I need to talk to Larry for a minute."

Larry handed the baby to Laurent. Laurent baby talked to Larry junior as he walked out the nursery room. Larry sat down in the chair as Mya leaned against the way. Even though things between Larry and Mya was okay. Mya still didn't know why Larry went off her when she first saw him in the hospital. It still bothered her.

"Why didn't you tell me or Laurent you was coming home? We would have came and got you." Mya questioned.
"Because I wanted to surprise you. But I didn't think it would go down like it did." Larry answered.
"I need to know what happened to you the day Laurent and went to see you and you flipped out on us." Mya said.

Larry eyes started to wonder. Larry still felt bad for what happened that day. Even though he apologized, he didn't tell her why it happened. Larry took a deep breath and replied,

"All that time I was in the hospital, I was very emotional. I was told the medication I was on can cause mood swings. So, sometimes I would be angry and not know why. But with you, it was different. I made the restrictions because I didn't want you or my son to see me that way. I have never felt so weak and lost in my life. When I held my little man, my arms started to shake. I was scared of dropping him. I realized I wasn't ready to come home. And that frustrated me. There was times...the pain was so bad, I just wanted to die. I felt like I was going crazy. But I knew that I loved you and junior. And I was determined to come back home to y'all."
