One week later...
Cassie Davis
1:45pm
Sitting in the living room on the couch with my mom, I looked over at her just to give her a look of acknowledgment. She smiled at me, turning back towards the movie we were watching.

"I wanna thank you for inviting me over before I left for Chicago." She smiled, looking down and playing with her fingers.

"Ain't no thang mama." I chuckled.

"Huh?" She questioned.

"I meant, no problem." I nodded.

"Oh." She said in realization.

We let the room fall silent before I spoke again.

"You know you don't have to go back to Wade right?" I assured her. "You have the money, resources, all that shit to move away from him. Why don't you?"

"Not that easy to just up and leave Cass." She sighed.

"Ma...in your case, yeah it is. You still making bread from your, still thriving company, you got summer houses and shit you could move into, all of that. I did it. I left chi town and look where I am. L.A. with my celebrity boyfriend, on my way to signing with a modeling agency, turning 24 next week, pregnant and about to start a family of my own." I explained, rubbing on my stomach as I spoke.

"You sound like me." She scoffed. "When I was young and with your daddy."

I shrugged my shoulders not knowing what to say.

"You should listen to me." I smiled.

"I should but...nothing." She sighed.

"No say it. You should but what?" I asked.

"I love Wade. He's the only man that ever made me feel the way your father did." She admitted seemingly embarrassed by it.

"But ma!" I exclaimed.

"Cass please..." she pleaded.

"But ma..." I huffed lowering my tone. "Run everything you told me the other day about that nigga back."

"Well...the other day he um...he uh...said some really hurtful things to me in front of Sydney and Kai." She choked, trying not to cry.

"And what else cause that's not all you told me." I said.

"He grabbed me up a few times." She mumbled.

"Ma you gone have to speak up. Can't hear you." I huffed.

"He put his hands on me." She spoke, clearing her throat.

"So leave him. And you said this was going on for how long?" I asked.

"Since you and Chris left the house." She admitted, now breaking into tears.

"Mmhm." I murmured.

"I can't believe I put him above my own daughters." She cried.

"It be like that." I shrugged.

"But it shouldn't. I'm finally realizing my mistakes and I hate myself everyday for doing what I did to you and Chris, Cass." She sniffled.

Passing her a piece of tissue from the tissue box on the corner table of the couch, I watched as she dried her eyes and blew her nose.

I wanted to feel bad for her. I really did but one, she was a grown ass woman who knew better and two I couldn't forget how she chose a man she hardly knew over me and my sister. It still, to this day just blew my mind.
