Her Beef 2: A Different Me

Chapter 41

"Most of us are more alike then we like to believe"~Jhene Aiko

Kelly

Shad and Carlos just landed and I picked them up from LAX. Aubrey told me to just come right by the house after I picked them up so that's where I was heading to now. I don't know how this whole situation is going to go but I'm praying that it's not a disaster.

"So what you been doing out here?" Shad asked me. I looked at him kind of funny because I only been here for a day.

"I haven't been doing anything cause I just got here yesterday. I do have a surprise for the both of you." I said looking at Carlos threw the rearview mirror.

I was pulling up to the gate at Aubrey's house. Security opened the gates for me and I went up to the house. Both of them were looking confused.

"Damn Kelz this how you doing it out in Calabasas. This where you staying at?" Carlos asked.

We went up to the door and I rung the bell. We waited for a second then Aubrey came and opened the door. They both looked at me kind of crazy but they didn't storm off back to the car so that was a good thing.

Aubrey let us in and lead us to the living room where little Desire just ran and jumped up in Shad's arms. Shakeya and Desire both were sitting there with tears in their eyes.

By the look on their faces maybe this little reunion would go well. Desire got up and walked up to Shad and wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her back tightly.

I looked over at Aubrey and gave him the thumbs up. Our little plan had come together nicely.

This family has been dealing with so much that we can't afford to fall apart right now. We have to be closer than ever. Carlos and Shakeya needed to get it together cause she was about to have that baby soon.

Desire

When I saw my brother come threw that door and the way lady bug lit up I had to just forgive my brother and get past the drama. I was so happy that he came and I was happy to see Carlos and Kelly too.

I asked Shad to come outside with me so that we could talk just us two. My brother means everything to me and I couldn't see my life being happy without him in it. We were sitting out by the pool and at first neither one of us knew where to start.

"Shad I know that I may have over reacted and I want to apologize for that. It's just you have never kept anything from me before we have always been honest and open with each other. I didn't let you explain why you didn't tell me and I shouldn't have just flown off the handle. I just want you too know that you are my big brother and I love you. I never want us to beef like this again okay." I said.

He just sat there for a moment and stared off at the pool. I knew that he had a lot running through his mind so I just gave him a second.

"Des you know that it's not easy for me to deal with my emotions or talk about shit that's fucking wit me. You and my kids are literally all I got. They took my wife from me and I don't know how to deal with that. All I know how to do is go out here an fucking fuck shit up. I can't call her on the phone. I can't touch her or see her face. I feel like apart of me is missing Des." He said as the tears just began to fall.

My brother was finally breaking down and it was breaking my heart to see him like this. My brother has always been like a superhero to me. He is always strong and he has always been the protector. The only time I saw my brother like this is when our mom died.
