Through Trials and Tribulations

Lylah W. (December)

A few months has passed and me and Mateo have been dating for 5 months

Ever since that talk that we had a while back, he's been supportive as fuck

He takes me to the doctors. He asks me how my day was everyday and the days I feel sad he calls off work and stays with me

Mateo is still training but he also works as his dads right hand man

It's really a small world. Luca is Graysons, the guy whose kids I babysit when my mom was alive, bestfriend and he gave his mafia to Luca so he can focus on his wife, Arabella, and his kids, Noah, Azaelia, and the baby that's on the way

Noah is 5, Azaelia is 3 and Arabella is about to have her baby in about 2 months

She doesn't want me to find out the gender because, when I was working, I bought Noah and Azaelia "to much stuff"

But let's be honest, they're to cute to not spoil

I met them when Azaelia was just turning 1 and I love them so much

Arabella is so nice and Grayson and her are good for each other

It's funny because she got pregnant with Azaelia just a few months after they started dating. And now they're married

They got married 20 and 22 and now they're 23 and 25

I haven't seen them since my mom died. That day exactly. It brings tears to my eyes as I think about that day

Flashback

Today was a long ass day. I'm ready to just go to bed.

Me and Junior got into an argument because he said he doesn't see a future with me and when I was crying he said he doesn't want to leave me

My mascara is completely off and I honestly just want to hug my mom

She let me use her car so right now I'm driving home

When I reach the door, my dad opens it before I can. I hug him immediately and he laughs

"Long day" I nod against his chest and we walk in when we let each other go

"Your mom is in the shower right now, wait I think she's out" I laugh and walk up the stairs

"Mommy" I call her name when I open the door

"Right here baby" she says standing in her bathroom mirror

My mom is so beautiful. Her skin is flawless no wrinkles or uneven skin tone

"Why do you look sad? What happened lovey" she asks walking towards me

She wraps her arms around me and I hug her back

"Junior" she sighs "We can talk about it later okay" I nod my head at her words

"I love you mommy. So much" she laughs "I love you one million times more" I pull away and she kisses my forehead

"Fuck him okay? If he wants to be a dick let him but don't let him ruin your mood okay baby" I nod

She's always been a knowing mom

"Okay" she kisses my forehead again "I'm gonna go to bed now I'll see you in the morning okay lovey" "okay"

I hug her again and kiss her on the cheek before walking into my room

****

I wake up and groan. I already hate today

Last night I cried myself to sleep thinking about the argument me and Junior had
