Don't Leave (Hood love Story)

You:Lucas cool it, it's not even like that

Lucas:I know we barely speak but whenever I see you,you look worst everyday! Makeup ain't gonna always hide what he does to you! You want to cry but you have nobody to cry on to because you don't want Aiden to see you like that! Ain't no man suppose to treat a woman like that!

My name is Amber,I am a 22 year old mother who lives in L.A with my baby girl name Aiden who is a 1st grader in Willcrest elementary school, my boyfriend name Bryce and my little brother peanut who is 18 years old.I let Peanut stay with me because we are all that each other has, our parents died in a car crash when I was only 8 years old so we grew up in many foster cares together.I had to take the mother role and work at a strip club at age 18 to provide for everybody (peanut was 14)and I literally just left 4 months ago to go to cosmetology school and work a part time job at my local beauty store.Aiden is not Bryce's baby, it's actually Lucas's babygirl.We co-parent so every 2 weeks we switch on who takes care of her.Bryce is mad that I didn't want to have any babies by him at the moment.I trying to chase my dreams of doing cosmetology and me being pregnant right now wouldn't be the best look so it's odd between us.He is the main provider in the house.Without him I don't know how long I would've made it taken care of the baby as well as peanut.I use concealer to cover up the love that Bryce gives me,how sweet.Peanut needs a job actually but we not about to get into that.Me and Bryce argue a lot because he feels like one day I'm going to go back to Lucas since we both have a kid together but the thing is me and Lucas RARELY SPEAK.We grew up as bestfriends in foster care and ended up dating.I couldn't deal with the baby mama drama so I left with Aiden. So far,Whenever we drop off Aiden at each other door step, we just tell each other what Aiden needs.I still have love for him but I can't leave .Is love suppose to be like this?idk what to do!
