Pandora's Box

Chapter 8

Harlow

"You legit stayed on the phone with him the whole night" Marley yelled trying to prove a point

" That Don't mean anything" I yelled back holding on to Monica's shoulder as she helped me pull my pants up

"Y'all been talking going on 2 months what's stopping you, you probably already had him around your damn kids" Marley yelled back stuffing things in my gym back

"Now you know me better than that Marley" I turned to her shooting her a glare

" I thought I knew you" she mumbled

" your making a big deal out of nothing Marley, I don't come nosying around in your love life" I shot back

"Because I'm honest, you've been hiding this man for months and we don't know anything about him but he knows where your kids lay their head, what type of fucking mother are you" Marley yelled

"Alright that's enough guys" Monica pulled me back as I made my way over to her

" I fucking care about my kids Marley don't you ever fix your mouth to down play how I take care of them. You need to be worried about making sure you ain't got hiv cause yo nigga out here spreading aids to each and every bïtch and you know it" I yelled back wiping the tears away from my face.

"Alright we gon see if that nigga gon be here for you when you can't get out the fucking bed or when yo sick ass laid up in the hospital every other week" Marley yelled back throwing my bag on the bed before grabbing her things and leaving.

"I fuckin hate her I sweeear" I yelled taking a seat on my bed covering my face as I tried holding back my tears

Monica

Watching what went down I silently packed Harlow's things as she sat on the bed.

"You alright" I asked zipping up.

"Come here" I walked over pulling her into a hug

"I can't ever just live my own life, every fucking thing I do they dictate, but the minute I want them to be there and ask questions they weren't" she cried into my shirt as I hugged her

Bursting in the room Lazarus scared us causing us to pull apart.

"All this over a man" he asked pushing Marley in the room as Melvin followed

"This has nothing to do with you Lazarus" Harlow pushed me back standing up

Going around the room she grabbed all her bags before walked over and stopping in front of him

"Give me my keys" Harlow held her hand out

"Fuck no" Lazarus yelled scaring me a little

"Give me my keys Lazarus" Harlow spoke louder

" Laz Just Give her the keys she doesn't need to be raising her pressure, I'll ride with her an make sure she gets home safe" I stopped him before he cloud start yelling again.

Stepping back a few feet he threw them hitting her in the stomach

In the blink of an eye Marley jumped on him punching and scratching at his face.

" what the hell" Melvin's yelled running from the bathroom pulling Marley off.

Quickly grabbing her bags and the keys off the floor I led them to the car as Melvin handled Lazarus.

" touch my fucking sister again nigga" Marley yelled as I pulled her away

" you drove here" I asked Marley putting everything in Harlow's car
