*Atlanta*
Mariah POV:
Once I get back ta Travis, place...I just sit and sigh heavily. At this point...I just wanna blow everyone tha fuck up. I'm past frustrated. I'm past annoyed. I'm past pissed off. I just want our lives back ta normal.
I'm not sure who fuckin' wit us. Hell, Ion even know tha reason! We be chillin'! Ta add on ta tha shit...Aug left me ta find a house. On my own!
Ion think he realizes how much stress that's gonna cause me. I had ta make it very clear...I'm not goin' back ta that house. And neither are our kids.
As I scroll on my phone...Trav sits next ta me.
Travis: "You good, sis?"
I look at him.
Me: "No."
Travis: "Aug told me...bout tha house..."
Me: "And did he also tell you that I'm not goin' back period?"
Travis: "Actually he did. Was that tha original plan?"
Me: "No. Tha original plan was ta keep that house and have one hea' in Georgia. Before that...I thought it cooled down. So, we were gonna continue ta live there. But na...nahhh. Fuck that. We're movin' period. Then he left me ta look fa a house. By myself..."
Travis: "Well...he did have ta leave this morning..."
Me: "With an exception of that..."
Travis: "Oh. In that case...that's stressful. He won't be gone long. When he get's back...y'all can do it together. As of na...don't stress it. You don't have ta rush. Y'all good hea'. Until then...chill."
Me: "I can't just chill, Trav. I'm worried fa my kids. I just want them safe. I need them safe. Once I feel that they are...I'll be fine..."
Travis: "So, What are you gonna do?"
Me: "I don't know yet. Eventually...whoever it is... they're gonna figure out we're not in LA anymore. I honestly don't feel safe anywhere at this point. I just know they're watching our every move. I honestly never been tha same since I was kidnapped. That kinda shit fucks you up. That's why I stay strapped..."
Travis: "Have you ever just...talked to somebody about that?"
Me: "Like a therapist? Nahhh. Tha way I came up...I just...don't. My grandpa used ta tell me ta suck it up. He didn't do that weak shit. Sucking it up....is just what I do. Unless yo brother pisses me off then he feels my anger..."
Travis: "I've seen! So little, but cause big damage."
I laugh and flip him off
Me: "Go away. You're distracting me..."
Travis: "Rude as fuck!"
I chuckle and shake my head. I'm ready fa Aug ta come back. This is gonna be a long month.
August POV:
Me: "This was a bad time ta do this..."
Terrence: "They good, Aug..."
Me: "Nah man. I shoulda stayed. Everything was left on a bad note. She stressing. Her stress got me stressing. Our house got broken into. I don't feel that my kids are safe. I can't figure out who shot my house up no matter how many times I watch that damn video. We gotta move. She made that very clear. I shoulda just went back ta Atlanta."
Terrence: "I get what you're sayin'. But, missin' this tour? Tha month will go by quick as fuck. She's good, man. Smoke will be there. Trav ain't no punk. And MeMe damn sure ain't. She know what to do. Stop worrying..."
Me: "Put yourself in my shoes, T...."
Terrence: "You know exactly what I would do. But, this is your career. No tellin' how leaving will impact that..."
I just sigh. He has a point. That would look bad.
Me: "You have a point. She'd hit me up if it was important or if she needed me..."
Terrence: "I know I'm right! Now...get your mind back on touring. And making this money..."
My phone rings and I see it's MeMe FaceTiming me. I eventually answer it.
Mariah: "Damn. Took you long enough."
Me: "I'm shocked you're even on tha phone wit me after this morning..."
Mariah: "About that. Babe, I'm so sorry. I'm just frustrated. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I was wrong fa that."
That actually made me happy.
Me: "Beybe, it's okay. I understand yo frustration. And you have a good reason ta be. I'm frustrated, too. Even though T talked ta me. I'm really thinking about comin' back..."
Mariah: "What? No. Don't do that! Continue that tour and do what you're supposed ta do, Aug. Put personal aside from business..."
Me: "I'll try. But, Imma figure it out. I'm on it. You good.."
Mariah: "Promise?"
I just look at ha. Then nod.
Me: "I promise. I love you, Renee"
Mariah: "I love you, too Anthony"
She blows me a kiss and hangs up. Imma need some distractions...
