"he's doing too much now." i say, handing skies his phone back.
"then maybe you should say something before he does." he says.
"i already said everything." i say.
"arliah. we both know you didn't. you completely skipped over us-"
"because there wasn't an us, skies." i say.
"okay. then just go live right now." he says. then his phone dings and he looks at it.
"nevermind." he says. he unlocks his phone and goes to instagram, clicking on diego's live
"—but i'm not even sure what they were doing. so i'm not gonna speak on them." diego slurs
"like, what arliah did was fucked, because she took my kids away from me. like i haven't seen them in four months." he says. he then notices skies is in the live.
"yo yo yo. skies lemme add you." he says. he taps his phone a view times and then it pops up to accept or decline. skies looks at me. i nod. he accepts it and then it pops up in the live.
"are you with arliah?" diego asks.
"yea she's right here." skies says.
"arliah. tell them why you took my kids from me."
"yo, diego. chill-"
"i didn't take your kids away from you, diego." i say.
"so then where are they? cuz they not with me soo." he says. i stand next to skies now.
"why do you have to blow this all over social media?" i ask
"why did you have to blow skies?" he asks.
"stop trying to speak on shit that didn't even happen." i roll my eyes
"there's a video." he says.
"okay diego." i say
"lemme come see my kids." he says.
"why." i say
"cuz those are my damn kids." he says
"maybe you should sober up before you come see them." i say. diego shakes his head.
"you just think your the shit don't you?" he asks
"sober up. and you can come see your kids." i say and then press the leave button. skies looks at me
"are you gonna actually let him?" he asks. i shrug
"he won't sober up so we don't have to worry about that." i say. he sighs and gives me a look.
"he won't. i'm not worried about it." it's true. he won't.
