From bad people, worse parents, and a best friend, Ivy's life isn't exactly a walk in the park. She deals with things No one should have to deal with. She's beat up, strong, loved. She doesn't want to worry anymore. But alas, some people want her ba...
The mysterious guy came and sat on the couch directly facing the couch we were on. He was beside Granny.
"And. Are we supposed to know him or something" Eric said. That's one difference between us. I had to common sense to know not to talk to her like that unless I wanted a beating.
"Talk to me like that one more time Eric. But like I was saying this is Daniel Michael Tiller, your dad"
What. I had to let what she said sink in.
"What the hell is he doing here. He killed mom. He needs to go back to jail" Eric said looking at Granny.
"What the fuck are you here for" I asked him glaring.
"Look. Eric and Bryson I know I made mistakes and I-"
"Bullshit. Killing your children's mother isn't a fucking mistake. You knew what the hell you were doing. Granny I love you ,but can you please get this bitch outta my face"
"Exactly. I still don't see why you're here" Eric said getting on his phone.
"Can you please just listen to him for me" Granny asked. For once, I noticed her age. You could tell that she was in her fifties.
"Fine"
"Okay. I know you're never gonna forgive me I just wanna apologise to you and your brother. Im truly sorry about what I did to you. I was drunk and I could never clear my conscious"
"Okay. So what was going through your mind when you shot her once in the head and another in her chest. But guess what, that wasn't good enough for you huh. You decided you hadn't done enough so you slit her throat" I asked him sitting up.
"And I'm as sure as hell that you weren't thinking about her or your kids. The only reason you're over here is so you can clear your conscious. I don't have time for bullshit, you deserve to stay in that jail"
"I honestly don't get why they charged you with manslaughter. It should've been first degree. You're just a bi-" before I could finish my sentence Ivy placed her hand on my shoulder.
I glanced over to her, and she did a subliminal gesture to Granny. She had plenty of tears in her eyes.
I looked over at Eric who wasn't paying any attention to Daniel or Granny.
"I need to go to the bathroom" I said getting up. I tapped Ivy's shoulder gesturing for her to follow me.
Once we were both in the bathroom I locked the door.
"Look Brys I know how you feel, but this is hurting your Granny. Yall need to discuss this without her in the room because this is really tearing her apart and just because she acts young doesn't mean that she actually is"
"I know we need to talk alone, but I don't think she's gonna want to leave."
"She was hoping for positive things, but she knew it wasn't gonna happen. Just tell her to go with Felisha and her stepkids Kaia and Jenny. I'll go too and make sure she doesn't try and listen in okay"
"You don't have to go with her. I know you don't like Kaia and Felisha" I asked her. Kaia's dad had married Felisha a couple of weeks ago. Kaia was always a jealous ex of mine.
"I'm only doing it so you can talk alone with Daniel" she said leaning against the wall.
"Thanks Ivy you don't understand how much I love you" I said walking to her and hugging her. I bent down to kiss her.
"I love you too Bryson, but you do realize you're gonna have to pay me back right" she said against my lips.
"What... this" I asked placing my hands on her breasts.
"Mmhm" she said biting her lip.
I smirked and stood back.
"You have to go back in there now" she said unlocking the door and exiting.
I trailed Ivy walking back into the living room.
"Let the drama begin" I thought to myself.
It had been a couple of hours after I sat down and started talking with Daniel. Ivy had already left, and Granny calmed down and went to bed.
"Where are you staying at" Daniel asked me. I knew he was trying to reconcile with me, but I wasn't getting over the fact that he killed my mother. The only reason I was even talking to him was because of Granny.
"Where are you staying at" I wasn't about to tell him where I lived.
"A hotel. I have to leave for my parole hearing early in the morning" he sighed. He wanted me to trust him, no doubt, "what about you"
"Somewhere" I shrugged eyeing Eric who was opening a snapchat message.
"Anyways. I have to go and do something" I said raising up. I walked out of the house to my car.
As soon as I started driving, I felt my head clear up a little.
I drove around Louisville for a like 30 minutes just because. After a while, I pulled up at the apartment.
Once I unlocked the door, I threw my keys on the table. I went to the kitchen and saw that Ivy was cooking beef tips and rice.
"Hey Brys" she said putting the lid over the rice and turning the burner off.
I noticed that she had bathed and was wearing some grey underwear and a black crop top.

"Sit down" she told me reaching into the cabinet to grab two bowls. She fixed the food and grabbed a Coke and Dr. Pepper.
"Thanks" I said as she sat the food down the took a seat.
"You're welcome" she said spooning some sugar in hers.
We just talked about insignificant things, but I could tell that she wanted to ask me something important.
"How did it go" she asked.
I just shrugged.
After I finished, I went to the bathroom and bathed. I dryed off and put on some boxers and shorts.
I walked into the bedroom and got under the cover next to Ivy.
"What's wrong" I asked her as she turned on her side away from me.
"Nothing" she said shrugging.
"Just tell me" I asked.
"That is the problem Bryson" Ivy said turning to look at me, "whenever something's wrong with me I always tell you. But when I ask what's wrong with you, you shrug me off. I confide in you, but you never do the same with me. Why do you do that?" she said frowning.
"I mean I don't wanna have you worry about me with all of these other things happening in your life"
"Just becuase I have alot going on doesn't mean that you can't tell me things"
"I promise I'll talk to you more okay Ivy. Now can you please stop being mad me"
"I not mad I'm just irratated with you" she said.
"I'm sorry Ivy, And Ill do better. I promise." I said to her, "Now how about that re payment" I said pulling her close to me while she giggled.
Heyy. I know I haven't uploaded in a while, but I've been pretty busy. Sry.
