TORN

Chapter Twenty Six: Baby Mama

As I turned the car off Odell stood up. My heart immediately dropped and I turned to look at Jarv. The tears built up in my eyes and he sighed placing his hand on my shoulder.

"She not gone do it, you gotta do it Jaz. You got to" He shook his head and got out the car. I sat back in the seat and closed my eyes as small tears fell down my face. I really don't want to tell him this, I wish I had better news for him, this is just so heartbreaking.

I heard soft knocks on the driver's side window and I looked over seeing Odell standing there with a confused look on his face. I sighed deeply and unlocked the doors. He stood back and watched me climb out the truck closing it quickly.

"I'm sorry Dell" I said in a low tone before bursting into tears. I'm dead ass crying right now. It hurts my heart to tell him this. He stopped walking and turned towards me quickly.

I literally watch the hurt in his eyes come to surface as he fought to not cry. He turned from me and limped onto each stair then finally into the house. Before I could even speak again I watched him throw his phone straight to the front of the house. The bitch shattered in pieces. Guess I'll go get him another one sometime today or tomorrow.

"Odell" I sighed.

"Where is she?" He looked back at me once we got in the house.

"Hospital. She asked that her name not be given out in case you tried to come see her. She can't face you Dell. She can't. You should of seen he-" I spoke but he held his hand up stopping me.

"Fuck her. I don't want to hear shit else about her or the baby. I'm going to be to myself" He groaned limping away.

Great. Grumpy Odell is back.

Three days later

"I'm sorry you had to come all this way, but I wasn't sure what else to do" I sniffled stepping aside letting Heather in.

She sighed and pulled me in for a hug. Over the course of three days Odell has been nothing but a total ass hole. I thought he was difficult to deal with when he was down from football, but this situation has turned his heart COLD.

That night after I told him, he damn near roared at me for 15 minutes until I couldn't take it anymore. He blamed his unborn kid death on me! He said that if he and I just worked on each other, August and Nisha never would have been in the picture.

Maybe he said it out of pure anger, but a part of me thinks that he meant that shit, and that alone? Is the most hurtful thing Odell has ever said to me. So I left. I've had enough. I left my own home. I didn't tell anybody either. He wanna act like that? He can do for himself! The fuck! I got Livi some clothes and told her Daddy wanted some alone time. Of course she didn't fully understand what was going on, but once I finally explained what happened to her little brother, her heart softened up for her father.

"Where is he?" She rolled her eyes after looking at her phone.

"You ok" I ask.

"Yeah, don't mind me" She chuckled

"He's in the kitchen."

She put her phone away and made her way there. Hopefully she can talk some sense into this mans head, because in a minute he's about to be out my fucking house.

Odell

Alone. That's what I want to be left. ALONE.

I really said some mean shit to Jazmine a couple days ago, some stuff I know hurt her. But honestly... I don't give a fuck! It's true and we all know it! If she never drifted towards August, I never would have wanted to have that party in Jersey and Nisha never would of even been in my fucking house. See? It's a domino effect. So to blame my sons death on her is a little extreme, but it is the reality of it all.

"If she kicks you out her house and never wants to talk to you again, you can't blame her" I heard a familiar voice say. I turned in my seat at the dining table and saw my Mom walking towards me.

"I don't know who this fuck this is looking back at me but it isn't my son" she rolled her eyes smacking the back of my head hard as hell.

I flinched in pain and sighed. "Ma chill!" I yelled rubbing the back of my head.

"No son! You chill! You really got some fucking nerve!!!!!!!!" She screamed shaking her head.

"But it's true! So so the fuck what!" I yelled back.

"Who the fuck you talking to? I ain't ya girlfriend!" She stepped in my face.

"She ain't my girl" I spat.

"Oh, she's not? Then what is she?" She asked.

"My baby mama and that's it" I said through my teeth.

My mom's face dropped and I saw small tears form in her eyes.

"I'm just your baby mama?" I heard Jazmine's voice say from the entrance of the kitchen.

"good job Odell" My mom said sighing sitting down at the table.

"Just your baby mama? Odell I have given up EVERYTHING for you! I could be touring with Artists right now! But no I had YOUR baby! And moved to Jersey so could see YOUR child! I put all of my goals and aspirations of hold for you. We tried a relationship, but it was hard for you to adapt to me working with August. You were intimidated by the way he looked at me. I'll admit my fault in this, but for you to dumb me down to the baby mama and that's all is where I draw the line. Since I'm just the baby mama, get the fuck out my house!" She spoke in a low tone.

"I'm not leaving" I looked directly in her eyes.

"Leave. Or I'll call the police. I don't care where you go Odell...but this right here. I'm good on for now" She said before turning around and leaving out the kitchen.

She not done with me, she never will be.
