All of Me

54.

I grabbed another tissue and handed it to Khadijah as she sat on the couch crying for the millionth time today. She called me last night and told me what happened between her and Trey, and all I could do was come over and show my support.

Trey was crashing at Korie's house for the time being, because he said he was looking for him an apartment big enough for him and the baby.

Of course I thought this whole thing was just blown out of proportion, but I could see the arguments on both sides.

"Khadijah, you crying and stressing out isn't good for the baby. You need to get out and get you some fresh air. Being cooped up in the house all day won't do you any good. Have you eaten anything today?"

She shook her head no as she got choked up on her tears.

"You want some breakfast?" I smiled.

She simply shook her head no and grabbed a pillow from the couch putting her head into it.

"Well what do you have a taste for?"

"Mo, I don't want food right now, I'm not hungry."

"Well you may not be hungry but that baby has to eat something. So you need to get up, get in the shower and do something to your hair. I'm not about to let you mope around all day and cry yourself into depression." I stood up and grabbed her arms pulling her up from the couch and pushing her upstairs.

I went in her bathroom and turned the shower on before leaving back out to get her some clothes.

"Go get in the shower, or I'll pick you up and throw you in there." I warned her.

She got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. After a few minutes I heard the shower curtain being pulled so I assumed she had gotten in. I went in the bathroom and placed her clothes on the towel rack.

"Is this your green toothbrush?" I held it up.

"Yeah."

I put toothpaste on the brush and sat it on the side of the sink, I went to her room and laid on the bed scrolling through Instagram as I waited for her to finish up in the bathroom.

About forty five minutes later she came out the bathroom, with her hair thrown up into a bun and she was fully dressed. She looked better than she did when I first got here so that was a plus.

"I just realized you have on the dress I wanted Trinity to buy." She pointed out as she applied her deodorant.

"Yeah, I figured if she wasn't gonna get it and rock it I would." I stood up and did a spin. "You like it?"

"Yeah it looks nice." She took in a deep breath and searched through her jewelry box.

"Well gee that sounds pretty fake."

"It's just, why would Trinity post that picture of me and that guy? I'm so pissed because I feel like that goes against the girl code. Whether I had bad intentions or not, her loyalty should lie with me, and I feel kind of betrayed that she would do something like that."

"I think you're taking it a little too deep, she didn't do it to make something like this happen. How was she supposed to know that you guys would get into a big argument and end things." I stuck up for her.

"Whether she knew what was gonna happen or not, she shouldn't have posted that picture. All of this could've been avoided if she would've made a smarter decision." She shrugged her shoulders and walked to her closet to find some shoes.

I stood there contemplating on if I should say what I wanted to or if I should bite my tongue to keep from making matters worse.

"Maybe it was your decision that made this whole situation, did you ever think about that?"
