Resilient (August Alsina)

Chapter 34

Omniscient

"Okay we need some lettuce, chicken breast and cereal" Kyon said looking up from the grocery list his parents had given him.

"And my ice-cream" Liza said quickly.

"And your ice-cream, how could I forget you've been telling me since we left the house."

"Shut up and just get me my stuff, I'll get the cereal"

"Gimmie kiss"

"Gimmie ice-cream"

"Gimmie a break"

"Gimmie my virginity"

"I cant but don't worry, I won't ever take it again"

"Go get my stuff man" she laughed walking off.

"I want my kiss first" he puckered his lips and she gave him a quick peck before they went their separate ways.

Grabbing a tub of chocolate ice-cream, Kyon made his way to the vegetable section and picked up some lettuce.

"Is it me or did this happen already?" A voice said behind him causing him to turn around, he was faced with Shonda.

"No it's you" he turned back around and began walking away.

"Ky wait" she grabbed his arm.

"Don't touch me and my name is Kyon"

"I just wanted to apologize for how I behaved towards you, you know put it all behind us and we can be friends"

"I can put it behind me but we can't be friends"

"Why not? Still stuck on Liza, I don't see her anywhere"

"And so"

"I heard yall not boyfriend and girlfriend no more so what's the issue?"

"You're the issue" Liza said making them turn to her, Shonda's eyes widen at her stomach before she laughed.

"You can't talk to him"

"You can't tell me that"

"But I just did though" Liza chuckled.

"Who do you think you are?"

"She's my wife and what she says goes"

"Wife?" Shonda stuttered.

"Yeah come on husband let's go" she pulled him away.

They walked up to the cashier and placed down their items.

"Aye bae look they have discounts" Kyon pointed out.

"No it's actually for selected items only" the cashier cut in.

"Oh well we select this item" Kyon replied causing everyone who heard to burst in a fit of laughter.

On their way home Liza had already began earing her ice-cream, occasionally giving some to Kyon. When they arrived to the house a car was parked outside but they ignored it and grabbed the bags-well Kyon grabbed the bags and Liza continued to eat her ice-cream.

"Ah shit damn, Liza help me!"

"Baby watch where you're going! You might buck your toe" he straight faced her cuz he just bucked his toe. They both laughed and walked into the house, as they walked further into the house they could hear familiar voices.

"It was a pleasure having you here, thank you once again" Shellece spoke.

"It was no problem" Cookie smiled. Everyone looked over at Liza and Kyon as they entered the living room. In the living room sat Cookie, Lucious, Shellece and Jermaine.

"What's this" Kyon asked.

"Well you worked hard Kyon and I didn't want to see your life and hard work go down the drain because of my daughter-"

"My life didn't go down the drain-"

"So they're paying your college tuition!" Jermaine jumped in to stop Kyon from saying anything ghat would change they're minds. 

"Uhh thanks.......alot" he said with little enthusiasm. Of course he was happy his tuition was being covered however he was kinda of skeptical of who was paying it, he can only imagine how Liza feels to see her parents given up on her but is fighting for someone else.

Liza was actually happy though, yes she was  somewhat hurt that her parents gave up in her but she was happy for Kyon none-the-less. 

"I see your growing" Cookie flashed her a fake smile. 

"Yeah" Liza nodded and pursed her lips.

"I can only imagine the hell you giving these people here. May god bless their souls for helping you cuz you're a lost cause"

"I'm gonna be upstairs" she tapped Kyon on the back before walking away. She went in the room with her tub of ice-cream and slowly sat on the bed.

She forced herself to eat the ice-cream but she lost her appetite and no matter how hard she tried not to cry the tears still formed in her eyes as well as the lump in her throat.

Tears began falling from her eyes and her lips began to tremble, she rested the tub of ice-cream on the nightstand and quickly wiped her tears but they were only replaced after each wipe. Sniffing, she breathed fast trying to keep her crying at a minimum volume in fear that someone would hear her.

The sound of the bedroom door closing caught her attention, she looked up to see Shellece walking to her with open arms and in no time she was engulfed in a much needed hug.

She needed that hug, she needed some type of mother......motherly support. She needed a mother to love her, hold her when she crys and just whisper in her ears that......

"It's gonna be okay"

"I don't want her to hate me" she stuttered as she weeped.

"And she doesn't hate you, she just hates the decisions you made"

"No.....She hates me, my father hates me, I know he's turning in his grave now"

"You listen to me and you listen good." She held her face in her hands. "She doesn't hate you okay? And even though you may not be her favourite person right now you have me. You can come talk to me about anything I won't judge I don't judge"

"Baby give me your hand!" Liza jumped up.

"Why?"

"Just give me!"

"It's my hand I have the right to know what-"

"The baby is moving!" She grabbed his hand and placed it on top of the section in which the baby was moving.

"That shit is so crazy" he said smiling at her "How does it feel?"

"Feels kinda weird" she shrugged. 

"I can't wait to meet her"
