"Liv take one more shot with us before we go."tori passed me another shot of patron. "Y'all trynna get me drunk before we even get to the club."I laughed drinking the shot. Instead of it just being me and tori, tori invited ari, and karrueche. After we had a miniature photoshoot we made our way to our car service.
"Yo our driver hates us."I said between laughing. "Y'all are crazy."tori laughed. "Liv you going home with some one tonight?"ari laughed. "It depends on how drunk y'all get me."I stuck out my tongue. "I'm just kidding. Probably not."I laughed. "Why girl? You single and ain't got shit to do tomorrow have some fun."she said. "Ari her and Jalen might be getting back together."tori said. "Girl fuck that nigga, you single tonight you deserve to get dick."ari said. It's crazy how I still remain faithful to Jalen even though we're not together anymore. Which I guess is one of my problems, my heart is too damn big. "I'm still gonna have fun but I'm really not trying to go home with anyone tonight."I laughed off.
We've been at the the club for a few hours now and drinks were coming left and right,i we were dancing and overall having a great time.
After drinking my life away I sat down and tried to regain my sanity. "You okay?"this familiar voice said. I lifted up my head and saw saquon standing there. "Oh heyyyyy, im great actually I'm extravagant."i slurred my words. "Mhhhm. I thought you didn't like going to the club."he laughed sitting down next to me. "I didn't mean it like that. I just didn't want you to see me like....well this."i laughed motioning to my drunk persona. "Right right."he nodded. "Oookay bitccch And Who is this?"ari came over to us. "My friend saquon. He plays with my dad ."I somewhat introduced. "He's cute."she smiled making him laugh. "Oh yeah. Y'all should go out sometime, he's available."I said put my head down on the table. "Ight liv I'll see you later and it was nice meeting you."he got up and left. "Y'all ready to go?"tori came over to us. "Hell yeah. This hangover is going to be ridiculous tomorrow."I laughed. We got in the car and from there that night was a blurred memory.
I woke up in my guest bedroom with 3 calls from jalen which was probably Nyx trying to talk to me, and I few messages from saquon. I called jalen back to see what was up. "Hello."he answered. "Hey you called me wassup." "Ummm yea. You texted me all this stuff about us last night so???"he asked. I immediately opened my text messages and read what all I sent.
Me: I want us to be together. I think I miss you. Me: I just want to trust you again like when we first started off you know what I mean. Me: let's do it for Nyx at least Me: let's do it for us. We have to be happy and love eachother again so Nyx can know his parents love eachother. Jalen: I never stopped loving you liv. If you want to work on us we can but I don't want to force anything. If it's really meant to be then nothing should be forced. Jalen: we can talk in the morning. ❤️
I put the phone back up to my ear, "Oh my gosh. Jalen I'm sorry I was kinda drunk"I laughed embarrassed as fuck. "Oh......Okay. Did you see what I sent you?"He asked. "Yeah. I'd love to talk about it but I didn't mean any of it I was clearly drunk."I lied trying to hide how I was really feeling. "I think You did mean it. Drunk words are sober thoughts liv."He made a point. There was a long silence between us, I could tell he wanted me to speak up but I couldn't. "anyway Nyx wanted to talk to you."he changed the subject giving Nyx the phone. "Hi mommy."He said sounding groggy. "Hey baby. Are you feeling okay?" "My throat hurts and my tummy." "Did daddy give you the medicine?"I asked. "I don't like it mommy." "Ok we'll figure something out to make you feel better okay."I comforted. He gave jalen back the phone, "he's refusing to take the medicine so I figured if it gets bad enough he'll come around."jalen said. "Jalen you know that boy is just as stubborn as I am." "I know but what am I supposed to do?"jalen asked. "Mix it with his juice." "Ight. Um I need to talk to you later. When are you free?"he asked. "I'm free now...." "are you hungover?"He did a small laugh. "Yes but You have all my attention right now."I smiled as if he could see me. "We never really talked about the break up you know."he said. I knew exactly where this conversation was headed. "There's nothing to talk about."I said wanting to leave this subject alone. "You might not want to talk but I have a lot to say." "I'm so sorry I put you through that again. There was and still is no excuse for what I did. If you decide to give me another chance I will never put you in the position again. I put that on my son. I promised you I would never hurt you and I let you down as a boyfriend and a best friend I'm still working on forgiving myself for hurting someone who showed me so much love and gave me my first child. I'll do what ever it takes to work on this relationship and to have you back in my life. I know it's gonna take time, I'm willing to wait."He said leaving me speechless. "...um I honestly don't know what to say. I don't think I can handle being hurt again. If you're as serious as you sound we can do counseling."I decided. "I'm willing to do that for us."he said. "Okay."I sighed. "So. We're gonna try?"He asked. "On a few conditions. One, no intimacy what so ever until I feel comfortable. 2, if you come over and just so happen to spend the night you have to stay in the guest room and vice versa. Three, if you even try to entertain another bitch this is gonna be it for real,and we can go through the courts to share custody of Nyx. Because I'm not gonna let you waste my time anymore. 4, no passwords on our phones, if there's nothing to hide that shouldn't be a problem. 5, if you go out to the club you have to comeback to my place by midnight and vice versa. Lastly, no fighting around Nyx."i said. "Ok. All that can be arranged."he laughed. "Jalen I'm being serious don't waste my time."I warned. "I know. Girl I got you." "Okay. Go take care of my son and call me later."I said. "Ight Bye."he hung up.
I got myself cleaned up and went over to my parents house. My mom and I are still not talking to each other or at least I'm not talking to her. "Liv is that you?"My dad asked from the front room. "Yeah. I'm in the kitchen." "Aye come here."he told me. I grabbed a water bottle and went into the front where my mom and lai were also. "Yes?"I asked. "Why aren't y'all talking to eachother?"he motioned between my mom and I. I shrugged and sat next to my sister. "Liv you're being childish."My mom said. "No I'm not."I rolled my eyes. "Can someone tell me what fuck is going on?"my dad asked growing frustrated. "Your daughter is trying to get back together with Jalen. I told her to move on."my mom summed up the argument. "Ok why is this a problem liv?" "Because she says I should move on because he cheated twice and that he didn't care about our relationship nor respect it. I went on to say that if we were basing this argument on her logic then you don't respect yalls wedding vows."I explained. My dad sighed and ran his hands down his face.

"Y'all. Are. Killing. Me. So there's no way you can get over it liv. Thats your mom she wants what's best for you. I'm sure she didn't mean what she said in a disrespectful way." He said. "Can you guys forgive jalen?"I asked. The room grew silent as my parent exchanged looks at each other. "Exactly. Mom forgives dad for all his side pieces but I'm not allowed to forgive jalen for two mistakes. I love and respect both of you so much and I understand y'all want the world and more for your kids but I'm 23 and whether y'all approve of him or not we're working on each other and he's going to be in my life."I said. "Lai did you want to come over for a while."I got off the topic. "Yea. I'll go get my stuff."she ran upstairs. "I'll take her to cheer practice tomorrow morning and bring her back."I grabbed my keys and went to my car to wait for lai.
