Christopher Brown
I just stared at Camille. She looked so different. More healthy and sober. "Pooh" Royalty cooed out as she started to reach for her mother she never knew.
Camille, with tears streaming down her face like a river reached out to grab her but I quickly snatched her back, making Camille drop her arms down to her sides.
"2 years.. and you.. wanna touch her?" I said disgusted, she glanced up at me in disbelief. "2 years I've been trying to get my fucking life together! for her and me too!" She scolded.
"Bullshit Camille! You just decided you wasn't fit as a mother and left me to take care of your responsibilities" I preached and she just looked at me, I started to continue.
"You missed birthdays.. her first Christmas, her first step.."
"And I feel like shit fo-
"We were homeless because I lost my job, and I wasn't financially stable to keep a roof over her head. AND I WAS LIVING IN THIS SAME VERY APARTMENT" I scolded in rage, Royalty wrapped her arms around my neck, laying her head on my shoulders.
Camille sighed in disappointment and stepped to the side, "come in.. please"
Miracle Lively
"Alright just stay in the car, I'm gonna go in and come right out, okay?" I reassured Christina as she just nodded.
I got out of my car, and walking into my employment annex building and into my office, seeing Latasha sitting at her desk typing on her desktop computer.
"Hello Ms, Miracle"
"Hey, I'm here to pick up my check" She looked over at me and chuckled a bit. "Mm, a check?"
"That's what I said" She shook her head as she got up from her seat, walking over to me and she sat down onto my desk. "You know.. I saw your husband at the gas station yesterday"
I rose my eyebrow, "And?" She gave me a fake smile and crossed her arms over her chest. "He asked me out on a date Miracle" I froze.
Jeffery was just a bitter bastard with a broken heart and quite frankly, I didn't care that he'd asked Latasha's musty ass to a cheap ass date.
"Care to explain?" She asked with a wicked smirk plastered onto her face, bumping me out of my thoughts, I gave her a warm smile.
"Latasha, I only came here to pick up my check. That's it and that's all. Whatever that's going on in my personal life had absolutely nothing to do with you, or anyone else"
She just sat there looking at me. "Check please." Soon as she was about to say something, a resident barged into the office very frantically.
"Ms. Fisher what's wrong.. you look all distraught-
"Latasha.. please get those people away from my house! Just screamin' and yellin'! This was a new peaceful community until you started lettin' them young folk live here"
Christopher Brown
I guess Camille thought inviting me inside would help us resolve shit, but that obviously didn't work.
"NIGGA I LOVED YOU AND I LOVE MY DAUGHTER" she yelled at me while getting in my face.
"ian tryna hear that shit Camille, you loved those drugs more than you loved yourself.. let alone me and Royalty.. YOU LEFT A NIGGA DRY AND BROKE"
She just stared as she shook her head starting to cry again. "Just like old times.. blame me for everything Chris!"
"I don't give a fuck about them fake ass tears because I've cried more genuine tears than you ever have" she got silent.
I started to feel bad because we were arguing like dogs right in front of Royalty and this is her first time seeing her mother in 2 years..
"Having to raise a child by yourself has to be difficult.. I know. But Christopher I really wanted to be here with you guys but I was sick! Very fucking sick!" She screamed and yelped from crying.
"And I was willing to help you Camille.. but I wasn't good enough. I wasn't enough help for you Camille, so you abandoned your daughter"
Before she could respond a knock came across the door, Camille went to open it as I walked over to Royalty, picking her up.
"Hi Ms.Hathaway, I had a complaint of loud disruption in your residence.. is everything okay?" I heard Latasha's voice.
"Um, yeah.. my daughter's father was just-
"Leaving.. I was just leaving" I said walking towards the front door seeing Latasha in full sight and Miracle right behind her.
"Mr.Brown?" Latasha said in disbelief.
"Chris?" Miracle gasped.
"You know them, Christopher?"
For a minute there my body was frozen and then I just walked out, leaving them all behind. I don't know where I'm going but I'm getting the hell away from here.
