Before I destroy what's left of Dad's life, I gotta tell y'all a lil story.

The day after Tomas and my brothers left my house, Ryan got my number from Tomas and he called me and we talked for two hours about the last 7 years.

I missed out so much. .

He told me he had heard about the affair that Dad "allegedly"  had and I confirmed that it was true.

So he came up with this plan to out Dad and what better way to do it than at his anniversary party.

I immediately said yes and here we are.

I can't pretend that I didn't miss my siblings and my mama, but I couldn't live under the roof with my Dad.

He cheated on my Mama!!!!!

I found out that he'd cheated because one day I was at home babysitting Kelly (Dad was at work and Mama, Ryan, and EJ were visiting Grandma Lucy in the hospital) and some lady came over asking if my Mom was home and I told her she's not here. She asked me if I was Theo's son and I said yes and she asked if she could come in and I said sure.  I asked Kelly to go upstairs to her room to play with her toys while me and this lady spoke privately.

Long story short, the lady (her name was Frankie) admitted to having a 3 month long affair with Dad. She told me how they met and all the things they did in the hotel they used to meet up at and I was disgusted with what she told me.

When that lady left I ripped our living room apart.

I WAS LIVID!!!!

I WAS HURT!!!!

MY FUCKING FEELINGS WERE HURT.

Kelly witnessed the whole thing.

Me realizing that she was standing there crying stopped me.

I went to my baby sister and I cried in her little arms.

I was hurting for my mother and what the truth would do to her if she found out.

When they all got home they all realized that the living room had been destroyed but, I didn't tell Mom and Dad why I did it.

I just explained to them that someone came over and turned my world upside down and all that anger and pain I was feeling had to go somewhere, so I ripped our living room to pieces.

Mama was so understanding.

She comforted me while I cried once more.

Y'all just don't know how I wanted to tell her everything, but I knew it would destroy her.

A few days later me, Dad, Ryan, and EJ all went to the mall and Dad could tell that I was acting different towards him (Everytime he'd say something to me I'd go off on him).
