today was the day zion "supposedly" was gonna come home. he texted me at 3 am saying that he'd catch the first flight back home in the morning.
i woke up around 8:30 also around the time callista woke up. i carried her out of the room and we both went downstairs for breakfast. i made pancakes for myself and extras for mandy, kekeli and elom. and i poured cheerios for callista
we both ate together while mandy, kekeli and elom were still asleep. after we ate callista and i watched tv and played together in the living room to see if the boys would actually come home today.
soon enough i hear the door being unlocked.
i just remained silent the whole time and continued to play with callista as the boys settled in.
all of them one by one sat on the couch around me while i STILL remained silent
"heyyy baby what you up to?" zion ask nonchalantly
"theres still cake in the fridge if you want some ya know? from callistas birthday party the one you missed?" i fake a smile
"babe we forgot okay? and we're gonna fully admit it, we forgot."
"wow you admitted it ! lets celebrate! or are you guys gonna forget that too?
"anissa we're sorry-"
"sorry is not gonna cut it. you miss your own daughters first birthday and FOR WHAT?. to get drunk and go to strip clubs?"
"how did you know?..." zion face softens
"its all over the news..."
i grabbed callista and walked upstairs with her leaving the boys dumbfounded.

"what are you gonna do man?" edwin asks
"i dont know."
i followed anissa upstairs and to where she was.
i sat down on the bed next to her and waited to see if she would say something.
"what zion"
"im sorry. i really am"
"zion, you went out with your friends to A STRIP CLUB on the day of your daughter birthday, you know how bad that makes you look?"
"yes i know, and im sorry again. i was caught up in my teenage ways again."
"well zion, you need to figure things out, im done trying to help you..."
