I walked up to her as she sat next to mike, I had to calm down and just sat down and sighed...
*
*
You:Aubriel you better watch how you talk to me!
Aubrey:whatever.
You:I'm trying so hard not to slap you in you're mouth! Watch it little girl!
Mike:Alright now lets all just calm down.
You:no mike she thinks that she's grown and can talk to me like that ima show her!
Aubrey:You've lied to me my whole life! Mom i am not a baby anymore! You can't just lie to me and think that I'm going to just be fine with it! It's NOT ok!
You:Do you honestly think that I did this purposely to hurt you!? Aubrey what you are not understanding is that... I just couldn't tell you baby you were so happy with diggy and he was there the whole way, he was the only father you've ever known. He was there when you were born, fed you when you were hungry,played with you when you were bored,bought you anything you wanted, and most importantly Aubrey he loved you like you were his.
Aubrey:(Cries) why couldn't you just tell me ma!? I wouldn't feel so bad if I had known this when I was younger not when I'm almost a teen!
*

I felt like such a horrible mother, I did what I thought was right but in reality it was wrong all wrong I have built my child's life on a lie. How to fix all of this I had no idea...I stared blankly at my child as she cried in the arms of mike the tears began to rush down my face...
*
*
Mike:look at me sweetie....now your mom was just scared of how you would react...
Aubrey:Like any other girl that finds out her mothers been lying to her!
Mike:Let me finish Aubrey...now although what she thought was right turned out wrong she was only thinking about what was best for you you can't blame her for that. I know that you are angry,confused,hurt and very sad but you shouldn't blame your mother for good intentions. Plus you are loved no matter what! By Your mother, grandparents,Diggy,Brother,sister and always by me.
Aubrey:Why didn't you tell me uncle Mike? You were there for a while.
Mike:(sighs) well Aubrey it wasn't my call, I couldn't go against your mothers say so.
You:(clears throat) well it's getting late Aubriel time for bed.
Aubrey:I want to go with uncle mike! Can I uncle mike?
Mike:(coughs) well umm I re-
You:No you will go up to your room and go to bed!
*
*
She rolled her eyes and gave me such a hateful look...
*
*
Aubrey:Who is my daddy?
You:oh come on Aubrey lets not do this right now! It's late and time for bed!
Aubrey:You don't even know do you!?
You:What!?
Aubrey:What? To many to keep count?
*
*
I walked up to her and slapped her right in the mouth she jumped over the couch and looked at me surprised and mike came over to hold me back from doing anything else...
*
*
You:(yells) you will not talk to me like that! I don't give a damn how bad you feel! I will really beat your ass you know that!?
Mike:ok come on!
*
*
He started to take me towards the stairs...
*
*
You:No she has lost her damn mind!
Mike:Yea man but you beating her won't solve anything!
You:I don't care you will never ever talk to me like that again!
Aubrey:Uncle mike can we go please!!
You:You think that you are going to leave!? Girl you better pray to even see the light of day again! Wooo you really fucked up now!
Aubrey:I'll just run away and never come back!!
You:Oh so you think that you are grown enough to go out and live on your own!!? Huh!? You just grown now want me to show you grown!? Get your shit and get out of my house!
*
*
She looked at mike and I stepped back so she could go upstairs but she waited until mike got infront of me and ran up there...I walked to the cabinet and got some Vodka out, before I could pour any he came and took the bottle away from me...
*
*
You:What are you doing!?
Mike:[YN] you've gotta figure out another way to relieve your emotions! Liquor isn't the way to go especially when you are already angry!
You:Who the hell are you to tell me what I can and can't have!? I do whatever I want I am grown!
*
*
After taking the bottle and getting a few sips I heard noise and walked into the living room to see Aubrey with her LV bags packed walking towards the door, I was so mad that I ran towards her but right before I could get to her mike pulled me back...
*
*
You:So this is what you want!?
Aubriel:...
You:No this ain't what you want!! What you want is an ass whooping and that's exactly what I'm gonna give you! You ungrateful ass little girl! I'm out here looking for your ass all night! Crying and telling myself that I had failed you! Blaming MYSELF! And you go and do this!? Fine get out! You don't ever want to see me again!? Then fine! I've tried everything in my POWER to raise you right and do what was right for YOU and this is what I get!?
Mike:Bre what are you doing sweetie?
Aubrey:Leaving! I hate her! You are the worst mama ever!
You:Me!? Ok you know what you get out and don't come back! You hear me!? Get you're fast ass out of my house!!
*
*
She walked out of the door crying and I pushed mike away from me...
*
*
Mike:[YN] you can't let her wonder out there at this time of night!
You:so I'm just suppose to let her disrespect me!?
Mike:No but come on she's just a kid!
*
*
Mike ran out after Aubriel and I continued to drink and went and sat on the patio looking up at the stars, I honestly felt like a bad mother and I know that me kicking her out just now didn't help! I had to pray and ask god for guidance, strength and forgiveness...After showering and cleaning up the living room my mind wondered on my daughter, was it all my fault? Was I in the wrong? Did I take it to far by kicking her out? Before I could continue the thought I seen that I had numerous of missing calls including My mom, diggy, Phillip, jhene, and Terrell. I just turned off all the lights and laid there trying to figure everything out... I had just found my daughter and kicked her out all in one night...the lights turned on and there stood mike...I guess I had been laying there a while because before I knew it the time read 2:43 am... Mike came over and sat next to me as I sat up...
*
*
Mike:She's safe at your mothers house your mom is mad as hell at you. Oh and I promised Aubrey that I would take her to my house for the week if that's ok with you?
You:(Sniffles) Yea.
Mike:Don't blame yourself for all of this Ma!
You:I can't help it mike I really think that I have ruined my daughters life.
Mike:you really didn't! If anything you have helped her to become the little young lady she is today. Don't you ever think that you failed her man you did everything you could! She was wrong for all the things and-

He bent over infront of me and lifted my head up...
*
*
Mike:I will talk to her about that I know that I've messed up and I know that I've apologized before and still messed up but please believe me when I say that if you let me I'll just look after her and talk to her. And when the time comes we can tell her about me ok?
You:mike I don't know if I should wait or just tell her now to not cause anymore pain.
Mike:(sighs) I can tell her I will explain everything to her.
You:Are you sure that she's ready now? She just found out about Daniel.
Mike:We can wait.
You:ok soon just not this week. Around next week
Mike:ok
You:Drink?
Mike:Now you know I stopped all of that.
You:oh yea.

He got up and sat next to me, I leaned my head on his shoulder and folded my legs...
*
*
You:so tell me how you been?
Mike:You really want to talk about me right now?
You:yea anything to get my mind off of things. Tell me!
Mike:(chuckles) ok well after I left again I had been diagnosed with A tumor in my side right on the outside of the rib...it was already spreading into cancer so I had to start chemo therapy right away.
You:Are you serious right now?
Mike:yea. Thank god they did my surgery and I took 2 more sessions of chemo and finally the doctor told me I was cured.
You:oh my god I'm so sorry.
