A Beautiful Mess

Eighteen

"Sorry I don't run up in the streets Zyale! I only loved you. Why couldn't you do it back? Oh wait – you were with your other baby momma." I snapped angrily. It has been a month since I parted from Zyale and I intend to keep my distance. The only reason I am here right now is because he wanted to help with Jada's party. I'm taking her to Disney Land and Zyale practically begged to be there for his daughter on her birthday. Well because he couldn't keep his willy-wonka in his pants look where that got him. "I get it ba-Londn. I'm sorry. I want to be there for you and Jada." Breathing in angrily, tears sprouted from my eyes. I shouldn't even be crying but I have been holding it back and I've been holding it down. I have a job and beautiful daughter. That should be enough right? I even have Laylee, one of my closet friends. So why am I still sitting here crying? "Look Zyale," I said as my voice shook violently. "I still love you, okay? And I'm so pissed at myself for loving you even though you broke me so many damn times I should practically hate you. I'm done with you from this point on. Don't text me anymore. The only time you contact me is on Sunday's when you get Jada. Otherwise stay with your new family, iight? Don't come here thinking I'm going to fall right back to you like before! Because I'm not. I learned through pain and I-I can't be here right now! I c-can't keep doing this with you. I'm done. Bye." I slid out the booth so fast he didn't have time to respond.

Rushing to my car I heard him calling me back but I can't keep making it so easy for him. I fall back to him so quickly since he was my first everything but not anymore. Getting in the car and revving up the engine I slowly drove home. Jada was with Laylee and Elijah so I had no one to go home too. Laylee broke away from er evil boyfriend, finally! I was really happy when she said she did and for good. He moved out to Texas for God knows what.

---Zyale's POV---

All this is crazy. London is truly done with me. She was my first everything and I'm so stupid for giving it all up over a bitch I didn't even want to get pregnant. Getting in my car I started it up then pulled off to see dumb Macy. My "baby momma". She is so annoying. Exiting my ride I knocked on the door twice before it busted open aggressively. "Why you so late Zyale? Ameris is screaming and I'm tired of hearing it! Ion care if he one month ol' damn! I can't. I got a club with my girl. I've been good fuh a month boo! I'm out. Take him. He on the couch." She walked of flipping her orange-blonde weave. "Macy! How you goin' leave a new born on the couch like that man?" I yelled furiously. "He ain' new boo boo! He a month old." She snickered. "Man I should have stayed faithful to my first." I mumbled. I regret all of this. I looked down at Ameris who had really light skin...Why was he so blue?

Feeling his pulse it was fading. Rushing out the house I called the only person that would be there for me at this moment. London. "London! Please meet me at St. Judes Hospital!" I said hastily. Strapping Ameris in I rushed to the hospital going at 75. "Are you okay? I've never heard you like this...I'm coming hold on. Bye." I smiled even though this situation I was twisted in was so bad. She really was my down bae.

Slamming my car door shut I ran with Ameris in hand. "My child isn't breathing!" I roared causing everyone to turn my way. The nurse appeared stunned and screamed for a squad. Before I let out a breath London was bursting through the doors and they strapped Ameris up. "Zyale! Zyale!" London ran up to me. "What's wrong?" She looked gently into my eyes which I didn't even realize were watering. "My son...He was barely breathing because Macy left him flat out on the couch." "Oh my... I'm so sorry Zyale."

"Nah it's alright, I'm thankful you're even here with me man. Macy went to go club." London looked at me. Eyes wide in total disbelief, "And you let her?" She shook her head then the doctor came out. "Sir and Madam." He called us into the room. "We are very sorry...your son lost his life to a lack of oxygen to the brain. But may we ask who is responsible for this?" He directed his gaze to London who had her head down, breathing extremely hard. She was getting pale and clenching her chest. "London are you okay?" I asked feeling tense. "Speak to me." I demanded. "I-I'm fine." She took a gasp of air. "Excuse me sir, who is the mother?" The doctor questioned again. "She left m-my son on the couch bundled in sheets... when I got home she was leaving to go out with her friends. When I picked up my son...h-he wasn't..." I felt light headed. Reality was all setting in with a good punch straight to the face.

Hours later they tracked Macy down and she went somewhere with cops while London and I sat quietly in the room together... "London..." I whispered trying to comfort her. "I-I just witnessed a baby lose his life..." She cried. "I know. But that was my son. I can't stand to even look at Macy. I don't know wha-" London silenced me with a finger in my lip. Her aroma encased my body as she hugged me softly. "You can stay with me for the night but this doesn't mean we're anything." Nodding I mumbled, "I'm sorry."

"Me too..." She got up.
