Falling From The Floor

She Left Me

               TONY's POINT OF VIEW

"Let me keep the kids. At least for tonight." I told her as she brought some of her clothes downstairs.

"Fine..." She then said.

"Are you really about to do this? Why can't we just work this out?" I asked her.

"I don't know..." she said as she looked at me with a confused facial expression.

I could see that she didn't really know what she wanted to do and I knew that she didn't mean what she said about her never loving me.

"I just....I don't know. We will talk about this another time, alright?" She said as she started to go back downstairs. She left me.

SHEMAR's HOUSE
CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

"Are you hungry?" Shemar asked me as I laid down in his bed.

"Not really..." I then said as I looked at him sideways.

"You sure?" He asked me.

"Shemar, I feel like I've done something wrong..." I said as I suddenly changed the subject.

"How come if you are now with the person that you love?"

"I don't know. I keep thinking about Cai and Ciyle. I feel like a horrible Mother."

"You're not...a horrible Mother. You're the best Mother that I've ever seen!" He said as he laid down on his back next to me.

"You mean it?" I said as I changed positions and laid on my back as well. I then turned my head to the side to look at him.

"Of course I do. Please, don't feel bad about doing this. You did what your heart told you to do. Never let that overcome your happiness." He said as he grabbed my hand nearby him.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna have to just sit down and explain it to her. Tomorrow. I already have to talk to Tony but at the same time- I don't want to."

"You should. Just let him know how you feel and what you truly want to do."

"You're always helping me, you know that?" I said as I smiled at him.

"Because I love you and I want you to enter this happiness and worry-less." He said as he smiled back.

TOMORROW

I already knew that Cai had came back home from inaya's house. As I was in the drive way, I wanted to literally break down and cry. What if she hates me? What if she just doesn't even want to talk to me anymore? Not on would that hurt my soul but mostly my heart. She is my heart and if she's hurting about this- I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I put on my "big girl panties" and got out of the car. I prepared my heart for what was to come and I thought of the correct words to say. I opened the door and stepped inside.

"Mommy!" Cai said as she ran over towards me. Her embrace already made me feel a little better.

"Hey, baby!" I said as I squatted down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She giggled and hugged my neck.

"I missed you! Mommy, we had so much fun at Auntie Inaya's house. We made cookies and we watched movies. I wanna go back soon." She said as she stopped hugging my neck and put both of her hands on my shoulders as I was still squatting down.
