34. So Far Gone

Christopher Maurice Brown

My momma, Nia, and I sat at the island in the kitchen eating the Mediterranean food she'd brought home.

"So, Nia, how do you feel about everything so far? What Chris told us, how does it make you feel?" My momma asked, pulling a piece of grilled meat off her kabob.

I turned my attention from my momma to Nia, who was stuffing forkfuls of basmati rice into her mouth.
"Honestly? Everything makes sense now, the aggression, the pointless arguing between us, and I want to see Chris get better, I just don't know if that involves me."

I instantly felt rage fill me, but the new me tried to breath in and out. What did she mean she didn't know if it involved her? She was my woman, who else was it supposed to involve? Me, myself, and I? No thanks Beyonce.

"Chris how does that make you feel?"

How was I supposed to feel? Good?

"I'on know momma, helpless? What am I supposed to do but respect what she wants?"

"Nia why do you feel like Chris's journey and growth doesn't involve you?"

She shrugged. "I used to feel like it, don't get me wrong, but I'm growing as well. When I met Chris I was 21 years old, clueless, lost, hurting. Now I'm not saying I've found myself, but I've found my worth, and it's not all this stress."

"Don't act like you've been perfect either though." I interrupted.

"You're completely right, but that doesn't mean I have to stay in a situation if I don't feel like it's right for me anymore."

"She's right Chris." My mom mumbled.

"Damn momma whose side are you on?!" I yelled. I just felt like I was getting bullshit from every side lately, and this was the only thing I wanted to work.

I loved Nia, yes I had made mistakes, but humans weren't perfect, and at least I was man enough to try to make it better, but she wasn't even tryna hear me out.

"It's not about sides Chris, like you said, you can't make someone want something they don't, you just need to listen."

"Well I'm tired of listening, now I'm gonna talk." I turned my attention to Nia.

"I know I made mistakes in the past, I know this, and I'm trying to fix it, and I'm being punished, and not given a fair chance to make it right. I've been tryna make shit right and you just leave me for Dave East! I'm still here trying to fix it and you looking me in me and my momma's face telling me you love me but not enough to fix shit. You don't love me bro!"

"Chris I been here trying to make it work, even when you weren't! When you were out making Royalty, I was here, getting played and blindsided. I've been trying, how much do you expect a person to take?!" Nia's hand slammed against the table and her plate slid against the placemat.

"If we're meant to be you supposed to handle anything and everything! For better or for worse right?!" I cried, wiping my cheeks once I noticed I had tears streaming down my face.
