A Beautiful Mess

Seventeen

Zyale -

Anger took over my appearance but how could I be mad if it was my own fault? Going up to my room Jada stopped me. "Daddy? Are you leaving us again?" She held tightly onto my leg. "No babygirl. Daddy just needs a small vacation but I'll make sure to come and visit you alright?" I saw the glossiness in her eyes which broke my heart. "Promise?" Her bottom lip quivered. "Yeah, daddy promises. Now go watch tv in your room okay?" I bent down giving her a tight hug. Nodding she hugged back along with a peck on the cheek.

Turning away I went into my room stuffing my things in a black bag. My phone buzzed on the dresser. "Hello?" I answered placing the phone to my ear. "Babe, when you gunna come over?" Macy whined. "Soon. Matter-of-fact now. Let me just grab my things." I positioned the phone in between my shoulder and ear. "Alright. Do I need to pick you up?" Telling her no I hung up. I'm so deep in the wrong with London I feel like shit and I love her too. Macy was some bitch I met at a strip club. A quick fuck and duck but apparently my condom broke and now look where we at.

On top of that bull London caught me selling! How am I supposed to explain that one? I only did it because Macy needed a quick three hundred and I knew how to get it. I don't even know why I put myself in that position with her ass. Man, I seriously fucked up...again too! Trudging my bags down the steps of London's house I stopped to look at her. She was doing so much without me and that shit got me. I want to be apart of their lives but I just keep slipping up. Maybe if I really just left them alone they'd be good.

"Zyale," London grumbled still fixing food for her and Jada. "Stop starring at me and leave." Dropping the bags I walked up behind her. "Tell me you don't love me London." A small chuckle escaped her lips. "Oh I love you Zyale, you were my ride or die since high school but I'm done with you. You hurt me waaay to many times." Her eyes began to water, "And I can't keep doing this! It's stressful enough having to deal with Jada on my own Zyale. You just act as a weight. I need someone who can help me out! Fuck, I'm so done crying over you!" She walked away. "Just get out."

A tear ran down my own eye. "Alright. Bye London." I murmured quietly watching her climb the stairs.

London -

Going upstairs to check on Jada I saw her on her bed looking at the television in silence. "Jada, babygirl, are you okay?" I sat near her. "No. Daddy is leaving again." She climbed into my lap. "I know Jada but mommy is here. Mommy loves you." I said playing with her messy curly hair. "But how many vacations is daddy gunna go on?" She whined preparing to bawl. "Jada don't cry. Daddy has to take care of his job." I partially lied. "Okay mommy, but can we see him?"

"Of course lovey dovey. Now let's go eat." I picked her up and she placed her head on my shoulder then turned off her tv, exiting the room. The fact that Jada knows she has a father is all I could ask for because I can't keep chasing this man. I tried, I know I tried, he knows I tried. What more is there to do? Zyale is free to now go support that thot of his. Going downstairs I heard the car rev up and start down the road.

"How much Mac&Cheese do you want?" I asked Jada. "A lot mommy!" She squealed. "Can we watch Ariel too? Please?" She jumped out my arms running over to the flat screen hanging on the wall. "Yeah, go buy it on Demand." I told her. Watching her grab the remote and sit in the couch I started taking out the food. Placing it on two plates I removed a juice box from the fridge and giving it to her while I got sprite. "Mommy it's starting!" She jumped in the couch.

"Lil girl sit down acting like you have no home training!" I joked but I was serious. "Alright lady." She mumbled shaking her head. Sitting next to her I opened her juice and handed her the plate of food.

After an hour the movie ended and Jada was knocked out. I cleaned the house up and left Jada on the couch turning Blues Clues down low. Thank God it was the weekend leaving me enough time to tell Jada she has daycare. Whether she likes it or not she was going to go. A knock on the door pulled me out my thoughts. "Hello?" I answered. "Laylee!" Laylee screamed from the other side of the door. "Ah sorry boo!" I pulled the door open.

"Where Jada?" Elijah questioned. "Sleeping." I let them inside and closed the door. "Oh! Mommy I'm watching Boo's Coo's." Elijah laughed. "Blues Clues fool, you know how to say it." Laylee joked. "So what's up?" I asked her. "Nothing, just needed to get out that house." She flipped her dark hair to one side. "Ah Trevor huh?"

"Yes girl." She retorted. "No Zyale?" Pausing I looked at her. "I made him leave. Two reasons though." She intervened. "Bitches and the drinks?" I laughed, "No! Well yes the bitch part but instead of drinks - drugs." Nodding she rolled her eyes. "Sound like him." I gave a wry smile. "Ain that the truth."
