Fixing What Fell Apart

Old Flames

"It's like you caught up in a maze
You keep on going in circles girl you're trying to find your way out
But its time I put on my cape and put that S on my chest
Girl I wanna come and save you
But I'm stuck in the middle of seeing you hurt
I know when you love him
And you wanna make it work
And I can't help but think that I knew you first
It's getting louder
Can't ignore it no more" Mario~Crying Out For Me

"No"

"Unt uhh." Ken and I said to Ronnie as she tried on what seemed like the hundredth dress.

After I talked to Ken last we we called up her aunt and she beat the hell out of Kendrick for what he did to me. Javon had also told me what had happened and the results were coming in today. Tony had went back to Cali with Erica's mom and I missed his presence but we had not choice.

"I'm tired Ronnie how many more we have to go I gotta head to Javon's." I said leaning my head back against the wall.

"Yeah and me Cole and Makayla are going out tonight"

"This is the last one I'm being as fast as I could." She said from behind the dressing room door.

I was happy her and Marcus decided to get married. He was a good guy and she was a good girl and they deserved each other. Besides the fact that they seemed so in love something about Marcus made me wonder if he was in it as much as she was even if he was the one to propose.

"Here I come." She said and I secretly thanked God because she'd stay in here all day if she had to but I knew how much this meant to her so I was willing to wait.

She came out with a white lace boost top with a diamond filled bottom. The train was beautiful and long and matched the bottom half of the dress.

We stared in awe as she turned slightly in the mirror. She bit her lip nervously and turned to us.

"You like it?" She asked running her hands down the dress. We both nodded quickly and she smiled.

"It's beautiful." Kenya said and I agreed.

"Your not just saying that because you wanna leave right?"

"No it really is gorgeous."

"I think this is it." She smiled and turned back towards the mirror.

I stood on Javon's porch waiting for him to open the door. The results had come in and we were gonna open them together since the situation involved me too. Even though I would never get back with Kendrick I still had butterflies and was dying to know.

"Mommy!" I heard Jaylen yell before Javon opened the door and I smiled.

Once he opened it I playfully smiled at my son and his braided hair as I stepped inside.

"Who got you looking like ASAP, Jay?" I said bending down picking him up and tugging gently on his braids

"Auntie Liyah." He said giggling and I turned to Javon and he just shrugged.

"How are you?" I said frowning and he gave me a weak smile.

"I'm good...you ready?" I nodded and followed him to the kitchen.

"Where's Jerry?" I asked noticing he hadn't come down stairs.

"Upstairs on the game."

"Go play in the the room with Jerry and let me talk to daddy." He nodded and I put him down and went upstairs.

I turned around seeing Javon pull something out of the kitchen drawer then hand me a Manila envelope and I looked up at him.
