Through Trials and Tribulations

Everything is shit right now

Mateo got discharged from the hospital last week and that's when everything got bad

He's on bed rest for a month and that means he can't do anything physical like exercise and shit. We also can't have sex but that's not the bad part

He's pissed because after his bed rest is over, his mom won't let him work until she's comfortable with it.

The only reason why it's affecting me is because he's taking his anger out on me

We've been arguing non-stop for the past four days and the only time we talk is when we're arguing

It's stressing me out and I don't know how much longer I can take

The having a baby shit is out of the window because Jeremiah told Elena about it and she talked with us and told us that we have too much going on right now and we don't know what's going to happen in the future

Mateo didn't agree but I did which caused another argument and he was screaming at me so out of anger I told him he can go get another bitch pregnant

Flashback

"My mom wants to talk to us" Mateo says coming into my room with Elena

I look at them confused and Mateo sits at the bottom of my bed

"So Jeremiah told me that you guys want to have a baby" Elena says standing infront of us

Mateo nods slowly with a frown on his face

"I don't think that's a good idea" she says making me nod as I want to here her reasoning

Mateo sees me nod and looks at me angrily

"You guys are still young and with everything going on I don't think that's a good idea" Mateo stands up "Well it's not you" he says and his mom slaps his arm

"But it's you bitch! Don't talk to me that way" I can't help but to laugh making both of them look at me so I stop

"Lylah you're only just now getting better and what happened with Mateo was a set back and Mateo, you have a lot going on with the Mafia. How are you going to take care of a baby when you're gone half the day. You and Lylahs schedule don't align. She has clients coming in and out of here and you're gone. How will you guys take care of a baby" she says making me think

Before any of us can say anything she talks "I'm just trying to help. I love both of you guys but you need to make a smart decision" she leaves the room and I look at Mateo

"She's right" I say and he looks at me like he wants to kill me

"We can make it work" he says and I sigh "Mateo all you're thinking about is a baby. Think about other things that would make having a baby hard" I say

"Lylah what the fuck!" He says raising his voice

"What?" I ask and he yells "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU" I frown at him

"Who the fuck are you talking to" I say standing up

"THE MOTHERFUCKER THAT SAID SHE WANTED A BABY THEN WANTS TO CHANGE HER MIND OUT OF THE BLUE" he says getting in my face

"First of all" I stop and push him away "Don't fucking yell at me if I'm not yelling at you" mid push he grips my wrist hard

"I DONT GIVE A FUCK!! YOURE LETTING OTHER PEOPLE CHANGE YOUR MIND" he yells loud

"You're hurting me" I say as I try to pull away but he won't let go

He lets go harshly making me stumble back
