Me, Myself, and Life

Unfortunate

" Baby what does this mean?" I asked him while looking at the document just mailed in

" He's taking you to court" I sat up and looked at him for confirmation

" The court date is right here. It's for Monday" he seemed pissed

" But I just rejected the-"

" It don't matter baby, he can still go to the courts to ask for visitation."

" This is some bullshit man" I held onto my forehead and shook my head

" I don't know why we thought that he would leave us alone after telling him no" I said " Im just scared that he may request to get full custody"

" He can't and he ain't. That nigga is probably not even able to take care of himself let alone a child. He's not asking for the full custody"

" How do you know?" I asked

" Look, the last that I heard of Damien was that he was selling just to stay in his place" he threw the paper on the floor. " This is crazy"

He reached over and pulled me into his lap. " We got this baby" he kissed me and tightened his grip. "Don't worry about it"

I tried not to think about it as the day went on but I couldn't. Just when everything was going fine Damien pops back into my life. He sent some papers to me through the courts but of course I rejected his idea for custody, but I guess he really wanna see his son.

The more I thought about the more emotions begin to build up. Yes I am mad that he even thinks he could take walk into my life as if he never did anything wrong to me. He had his chance to fix everything when Cam was born but he didn't want to do so I dropped him.

I could not sleep. I just couldn't. My mind was going 100 mph just going over what could happen and what has already happened. By the time Monday rolled around I was overwhelmed and exhausted.

"-That is the final decision, you are dismissed" my head fell and the judge's gavel connected to the block. Everyone stood up and shook each other's hand.

" Ms. Wells?" I looked up to see a tall white lady holding her hand out

" I know you must be distraught with the decision, but I'm sure it'll work out" she smiled and her hand remained out

I stood up and shook her hand. " Thank you"

After she gave a few words of encouragement she walked into the crowd of people at the exit door.

Trying to avoid Damien, I quickly followed her. I almost reached the door when I heard my name being shouted.

" What Damien" I turned around

He walked up to me and looked down at me. "Hey"

" Please, I don't have time for a hey, just leave me alone." I attempted to walk away but he grabbed my arm

" Get off of me" I yanked my arm away

" Justine I just-"

"Stop! I told you to leave me alone" I raised my voice

" I just wanna give you the address" he said almost innocently

" You have my number right? You've been harassing me. Can't you Just text me the address?" I turned around and walked out of the building

When I got home, immediately, I jogged up the stairs and into the bedroom. I got undressed and hopped into the shower. I turned on the steaming hot water and allowed it to hit my tensed body. I mentally went over my schedule

Tomorrow morning I'll get me and Cam ready. Then I'll drive him to school and I'll go to class. I'll check in on Dontae after class then I'll pick Cam up from my parents and drive him to...drive him to Damien. How am I supposed to explain to Cameron about his dad? I hope he understands.
