TOXIC

Aaliyah

I had so much anger built up that I didn't know what to do. It was now four in the morning and Mario still wasn't home. I had fallen asleep and now was fully awake, thinking that he would be back by now since he had left at ten.

Of course he wasn't answering his phone for whatever reason. I just wanted to know when he was going to be home, and since I didn't know where he was or when he would be home I couldn't sleep.

So now I look like a dumbass, up waiting for my so called husband who clearly can't pick up the fucking phone.

"Mommy." Amir said he walked into the living room.

"Hey baby why are you up still?" I questioned as I picked him up.

I went into the kitchen and grabbed Amir a warm cup of milk. After he was done drinking it, he had calmed back down and fell asleep.

I overthink so much that I started crying. Sometimes I feel like that's the only thing that makes me feel better, is to just cry it out.

After crying my eyes out I eventually gave up and headed upstairs with Amir. I laid Amir down next to me and soon fell fast asleep.

****
I looked over to my right to check it Amir was still asleep and sure enough he was. I grabbed my phone and looked at the time, it was now 10 o'clock. I got up and went into the bathroom to do my hygiene stuff, afterwards I headed downstairs, and went straight into the kitchen.

I knew once Amir was up that he would want some food. I ended up making bacon and eggs, something quick and easy to clean up. After I was doing making breakfast I went into the living room and there was Mario asleep.

I was glad that he had eventually made it home but it still pissed me off that he wasn't answering any of my calls. I shouldn't have to call his friends and ask them where my own damn husband's at.

"Morning mommy." Amir said as he walked into the living room.

"Hey baby, you hungry?"

I picked Amir up and we headed into the kitchen, I poured us both some orange juice and turned on some cartoons.

My son is the only thing that keeps me going. I just want to make him proud and for him to be happy to call me his mom. I had Amir when I was 24 and yes it changed my life a lot but it was for the better. I'm now 27 years old and a very successful lawyer.

Me and Mario met in high school during our senior year and ended up dating our first year in college and have been together ever since then. Boy those were the good times.

Everything three years ago was just so easy and I wasn't always stressed out or crying my eyes out. That's why I'm so glad that I have a week of vacation because it's very much needed.
