Mary J.Blige's "Your Child" blared out of the sound system in her living room. As Lianna said on the floor with tears running down her face, listening to the lyrics it started to hit her; that she and Langston were really over with. She had been a wreck for the last two days, after finding out about his new baby.
She said it's your child, and it really messed me up
How could you deny, your own flesh and blood?
"Sing that shit Mary." She mumbled.
Gotta face reality, there can never be anymore us
Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious
The song had been on repeat, and every time Lianna sang it at the top of her lungs.
"Gotta face reality, there can never be anymore us." She sung looking at a picture of she and Langston.
"Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious."
Suddenly, the picture came in contact with the wall, from her throwing it. It was a good thing that Lehlanii was with her father; so she wouldn't have to witness her mother going crazy.
"Fuck him."
Something in her just caused Lianna to snap. Picture frames were thrown all over the floor, she even bleached a few of his clothes. She looked around at the mess she made; shrugging her shoulders. Lianna went into her bedroom laying down, falling asleep.

The house phone ringing, woke her out of her deep slumber. Letting it ring Lianna laid still waiting for it to go to voicemail.
"Li, it's Romell call me back."
She scoffed. "Fuck that."
Lianna laid there, thinking about the last two and a half years she gave to Langston. The good and bad memories that they shared, the long talks late at night, the arguments, and most of all their baby girl Lehlanii.
"Time to stop sulking."
Getting out of the bed. She walking into her bathroom, picking up the scissors she had laying around. To Lianna, it was time to start fresh. So, her first step of a fresh start was cutting her hair.
