The Next Day

Tyler

Right now I'm chilling with Teddy getting some drinks so we can discuss what happened last night.

"Man, Makenzie hasn't been acting like herself since last night." I stated.

Teddy looked at me confused, "What do you mean?"

"I low ley think that her seeing Rodney triggered her younger self," I responded.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded my head, "Yeah man I'm positive."

Teddy sat up and looked at me, "What has she been doing?"

I sighed, "She's been crying nonstop, she literally cried herself to sleep, she didn't go to work today, and she didn't want to eat. Teddy she went through this when he did that to her and now she's relapsing."

"This may sound weird, but has she ever gone through counseling?" Teddy asked.

I shook my head, "Nah man. She always says 'I'm a psychologist, I don't need counseling'."

He chuckled a little bit, "Yeah that definitely sounds like something Kenz would say."

"I just don't know what to do," I told him honestly.

Teddy placed his hand on my shoulder, "Be there for her like you've always been and you might wanna throw in the counseling thing too."

"Alright man, we'll see how this goes. I'm gonna wait to see if her behavior is gonna change and if it doesn't, I'm gonna recommend it."

Mila

Karson was doing the absolute most last night by blowing up my phone so I finally deleted his number and blocked it because I don't have time for it. After I got dressed for school, I decided to go check on momma. I knocked on the door before opening the door to the bedroom.

Momma had the covers over her head and it looked like she was in the fetal position. I slowly walked over to the bed and kinda pulled the covers off of her. "Mom are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine Mila. Go to school and don't worry about me," she reassured me.

I really didn't want to leave her since Daddy was nowhere to be found and once we left for school, no one would be here with her. "Are you sure? I don't mind staying here."

Momma pulled the covers from over her face and looked at me, "Yes baby I'm fine. Just go to school I promise I'll be here when you come home."

"Alright," I answered slowly before kissing her forehead. "Love you."

"Love you too," she responded before putting the covers back over her head.

I sighed before walking out of her room and closing the door. She didn't even look like herself. Her eyes were red, her hair was all over her head, and she had dark circles around her eyes. I'm really worried about her. I walked downstairs and saw Trevor, Hunter, and Promise waiting by the door.

"Bout time you come downstairs," Trevor said while smacking his lips.

I rolled my eyes, "Shut up I was checking on momma because I hadn't seen her since dinner last night." I responded as I walked outside to the car.

Trevor got in shortly after I did in complete silence. The car stayed completely silent until after we dropped off Hunter and Promise.

"So how is momma doing?" Trevor spoke up.

I shook my head, "Not too good. She didn't look like herself. This is the one time I would rather have her yelling at us."

"Damn, that bad?" Trevor asked.

"Yep."

The rest of the car ride was silent as we pulled into our high school parking lot. He parked the car and we both got out and walked into the school.

"Mila, yo Mila!" I heard Karson yell.

"I know this nigga not that damn stupid," Trevor mumbled under his breath.

"I think he is," I mumbled back as Karson approached us.

Karson gave me a smile, "Baby there you are! I was worried about you because you weren't responding to me."

I ignored him and tried to walk past him, but the nigga grabbed my arm. I yanked my arm away from, "Nigga you done lost your mind! Keep your hands off of me! You don't know me!"

He starts to laugh, "I get it. You actin' funny because you're with your lame ass brother. That's cool, let me know when he not around so we can talk." And with that, he walked away.

"Nigga I will kill you," Trevor spat. He turned his attention to me, "Don't you go anywhere by yourself today."

I smacked my lips, "If he tries something I'll beat his ass." I said honestly. Karson doesn't know he's fucking with the wrong one.

Makenzie

I made sure everyone was gone before I got out of bed. I made my way downstairs to the kitchen so I could get me something to drink. I pulled out the vodka, poured me a glass, and took it to the head. After repeating that cycle about twelve times, I found myself on the floor crying hysterically.

"Baby! Where are you?" I heard Ty's voice.

I didn't answer him, I just continued to cry.

Before I knew it, he was standing over me giving me a sympathetic look. "Come Kenzie, let's get you back in bed." He picked me up bridal style and carried upstairs while I continued to cry into his chest. When we reached our bedroom, he laid me on the bed and sat next to me. I stared at him while he stared at me. 

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked, breaking the silence.

I shook my head, "No." I answered barely above a whisper.

Ty sighed, "Do you want me to hold you?"

"Please," I said as tears started to run down my face.

Tyler grabbed me and pulled me into his strong arms. Placing a kiss on my forehead, he started to rock me back and forth, "I got you Makenzie, I got you."
