Alexys finally was able to come down and see me and Alijah, so he drove down from San Diego to stay the night today.

"Heyyyyy bitch!" He smiled as he gave me a big hug.

I missed my bestie.

"Hey Lex" I said, not noticing how dry I was being.

"Hey Lexxxxxx?" He said as he scrunched his face up and say his bag on the kitchen counter. "Anyways where my nephewwwww?"

I picked him up off the couch. "Go wash your hands bitch." I said.

"Girlllllaaa don't try me like I'm a dirty bitch!" He said, washing his hands anyway.

"Hiiiiii Ajjjjj!" He said as he grabbed him from my arms. "You is gone pull so many hoes, man."

"Lex don't talk to my son like that."

"Paris. You been crying?" He said, staring me down.

"Lex I'm going through Postpartum depression, and it's been fucking my whole life up." I said as I wiped my tears.

"Oh nooooo baby..." Alexys said as he rubbed my arm.

"And yesterday...me and Adrian broke up."

His mouth dropped open. "Paris!! Why?!?!"

I looked down. "We've been arguing too much lately. Long story short, we got into after leaving my dad's, he brought up Jamar, and I said I hated him, then after that, it was over."

"Bubba no..." He said as Alijah fell asleep in his arms. "Why would y'all break up?? Every couple argues! Y'all are only arguing cause of the postpartum! That's normal Paris!"

"Exactly..." Raelyn said, scaring the hell out of me, as she walked through my front door. "Adrian told Kam what happened."

"This is my fault." I said, my emotions everywhere.

"Pear bear this is something you can't control, I mean you can, but you can't. Like I told you, PPD is something very normal, and this kind of stuff happens all the time. But if you need a break from him, then take a break. I'm just saying don't throw everything y'all have together down the drain because of this." Raelyn said as she sat with me and Lex on the couch.

"Period." Lex said as he went to put Alijah in his crib.

"You right. I think taking time to myself will help me get through this and maybe things will be better in the near future..." I sighed.

"Exactly boo! Just make sure you don't make him think otherwise...don't make him feel like it's done for good, just let him know you need time to get yourself together."

See this is why I love Raelyn.

"Alright. Ima do that. Whenever I can put my pride aside." I smiled.

"Y'all that is a sweet ass baby. He just look like he don't cry." Lex said as he came out of Alijah's room.

"Oh I beg to goddamn differ." I said, causing him and Raelyn to laugh.

After a few minutes of talking and catching up, I saw the doorknob moving, and keys rattling.

It was Adrian.

"Wassup y'all." He said.

"Hey, A." Raelyn said.

"Wassup fool." Lex said.

It was a lil awkwardddd....

"Where his diaper bag at?" Adrian said from Alijah's room.

"On my bed." I said as I scrolled on my phone.

"Chileee..." Alexys said as he pulled a bag of weed and a wrap out his pocket to start rolling it.

"I'll bring him back later." Adrian said as he held Alijah in his car seat and grabbed his diaper bag.

"Where you gone be with him?" I asked.

"At Maurice house like I was last night." He said before opening the door. "And ain't nobody except us gone be there." He said, closing the door.

"Damn..." Alexys said.

"Well..." Raelyn said right after.

"I ain't smoked in 10 months...hurry up so I can ease my mind." I said to Lex who was still rolling up the blunt.

"Right on it bitch." He said.

2 hours later...

"This bitch can't even look straight" Alex said as he burst out laughing.

We was all high asf...it was weird for me cause I ain't did this shit in a whileeee.

"Shut the fuck up." I laughed as I stared into space.

"Paris your eyes are bloodshot red" Raelyn laughed at me.

"My eyes didn't even used to get red like that for real." I said as I looked in the mirror.

"Girl you got some snacks?" Lex said as he got up and looked through the pantry anyway.

"Well ima head out. It was nice kickin it wit y'all." Raelyn said, smiling at nothing.

"Bye sis. Thank you so much for helping me, I love you so much girl." I said as I walked her to the door.

"Of course Bub." She said as she walked to her car.

"Waitttt Raelyn I'm coming witchu!!!" Lex said as he took two bags of chips and a Caprisun from the pantry.

"Bitch I thought you were spending the night here" I said.

"But it's funner at Kam's house, everybody be over there." Lex said. "But ima come back tomorrow, I'm leaving my car here."

"Bye boy." I said as I closed the door.

At least I can really get some alone time now.
