JESSICA

"You sure about this?" Torren whispers, helping me neatly fold some clothes. "Positive. Let's go to the mall or something." I say, speaking in code. I don't exactly know where Montana's hidden cameras are but I do know they're all over this house. I don't want to get caught. I'm really talking about going to the airport to fly to California. This whole time, I've wanted to sneak and do it but I never had enough nerve. It's not as easy as it sounds, considering the fact Montana has me on lock down. He damn near knows my every move so I know this will be hard to do.

"Girl, what if I die today?" Torren asks. "Ain't nobody gone kill you. You ain't gone die today." I say. He nods his head as he applies lip gloss. I grab my Louis Vuitton purse then stuff my toothbrush, charger, wallet, and some underwear in it. I'll get clothes when I get to California. I can't risk being caught by rolling a suit case out the house. It'll be way too obvious.

Torren follows me downstairs to the kitchen. I open it up to make sure I left enough bottles for Dream in here. I cooked dinner so Tae and Montana won't be hungry when they get home. Montana is lucky I'm not out here starving his ass and sending him to McDonald's to eat a dry double cheeseburger every night. I love him, he just got me fucked up at this point.

"I'm ready. Let's go." I say. He follows me out the front door then waits for me to lock it. "Where you headed?" Montello, Montana's twin brother asks me. "I didn't know you were here." I say. "I just pulled up. I'm waiting on my brother to get back. But where you headed?" he asks. "To the mall. MAC has these new lipsticks Torren and I wanted to go pick up. You want something back? We might stop and eat too." I lie. "Come here right quick." he says, walking to his truck.

Torren's eyes slightly widen as we follow him. "Wassup?" I ask. "You know I know you lying, right?" he asks. "What makes you think I'm lying?" I ask. "I just know you are. If you wanted that lipstick, you would've had it by now. Where you really going?" Montello asks. "It's not your business, honestly." Torren answers him.

Montello glances at him. "Just like it's not your business to suck dick, ride dick, and wear make up. That's a woman's job. Was I talking to you? I don't think I was." Montello calmly says.

"Chill. Just stop it." I demand. "You gone tell me?" he asks. "Hell naw." I answer. "I probably will help you." he says. "I just want to see my kids and I really could care less if you tell your brother. I'm leaving and that's that. He can suck his own dick for all I care." I say, making him laugh. "Listen... I'll get you to the airport with no issues or getting stopped by none of his niggas, aight? The rest is on you. Just leave my name out of it." he says. "You serious?" I ask. "Might as well." he answers, unlocking his door.

Torren and I get in the back. "You trust him?" Torren whispers. "Nobody's stopping me this time, Torren. I'll kill my way out this city if I have to. I'm going to California and that's that." I whisper back, buckling my seat belt.

I ignore my phone as Montana calls me. "Why the hell he calling me like this?" I mumble. I ignore it. I sigh then answer it as he calls again. "What?" I ask. "Where you at? I need you to come up here to Tae school." Montana tells me. "Why? What's wrong with my baby?" I ask, catching Montello's attention. "I don't know. He got into a fight and got jumped or some shit, baby, I don't know. Just come up here." he says. "I'm on my way." I say, then hang up. I will beat the fuck out of somebody's child over my baby. They got me messed up.

Montello just pulled up to Tae's elementary school. "What the hell did my nephew do?" Montello asks staring at the police cars and ambulance trucks in shock. I quickly jump out the truck then sprint to the entrance of the school. My eyes widen at the blood on the floor. I rush into the office. "Where's my son? His name is JeMontae Montgomery." I tell the woman at the desk.

"Please, walk into that office." she instructs, pointing towards the back. I walk back there then gasp. Montana's holding Dream in his arm as he goes back and forth with the principal, Tae's against the wall in hand cuffs with an officer holding his arm, and it's also another officer in the room. "I'm his momma. What happened?" I ask.

The officer turns Tae around to face me. "Oh my God, what happened to my baby? Quit looking at me like I'm crazy and answer me!" I yell, looking at his face. His lip is busted, he has dry blood on his nose, and a scratch above his eyebrow. "He got into a fight with three other students." the officer answers. "So, he's getting arrested because some of these punk ass kids jumped him and he defended himself? Is that it?" I ask. "Baby, calm down." Montana says. I snatch away from him. "No, tell me something." I demand.

"Ma'am, one of the children is on his way to the hospital with serious injuries. The incident happened on the playground. JeMontae grabbed a stone off the ground and busted a young man's head with it. He also strangled the other young man while banging his head on the ground. He fought the last young man but it wasn't a regular little boy fight. JeMontae fought as if he had some sort of training. The other young man didn't stand a chance. JeMontae broke the young man's jaw. Tell your mother what you repeatedly screamed and told officer Charles and I." the officer says. I look at Tae. "I said imma kill yo bitch ass, don't fuck with a real G. That's what I was screaming. And I told these officers suck my dick cause they started it and my other daddy Ant and my real daddy always said beat somebody ass for that." Tae says.

"Watch your damn mouth, Tae." Montana demands. I shake my head. "Listen, if they started the fight and jumped on my son, exactly what did yall expect? He was defending himself." I say. "The fight started with JeMontae throwing the first punch." the principal tells me. "That doesn't justify him getting jumped. He did what he had to do to make sure he didn't get the fuck beat out of him. It is what it is. I don't give a fuck who threw the first lick. If he had beef with one person, it should've stayed there. I taught my child to handle his business if it came down to it. It was three on one and quite frankly, yall are some idiots if you don't understand why he did what he did." Montana says.

"Tae, why did you hit the boy first?" I ask. "They didn't even ask me what happened, mommy, they just put hand cuffs on me. So, we were on the playground. I was by myself drawing my other brothers and sisters because I miss them. Those boys came to me and the one I hit ripped my paper up then said F my momma and my family so I got mad and hit him in his face. All of them jumped in so I tried to beat them like none other." Tae explains.

I sigh then shake my head. "We only have him in cuffs because he refused to calm down. He was throwing his teachers around as they tried to break up the fight. He also jumped over the playground gate trying to chase the young men as he screamed death threats. He also told them he'd set their houses on fire." the principal says. I narrow my eyes at Tae. "He told the officers he didn't fuck with the police as well." he adds. "I'm beating your ass tonight." I say.

I'm beating him for running his big ass mouth like he did, not for defending himself. I watch as the officer takes the handcuffs off. Tae walks over to Montana, trying to take Dream out his arms. "Tae, if you don't get back." Montana demands. Tae slowly steps back. "We had to expel him." the principal says, handing me the paper. I shake my head. "Look at your ass, Tae. Come on." I demand, dragging him out the office by his wrist.

I got in Montana's truck with him and the kids instead of his brother's truck. "What made you say all that shit? See, you fucked yourself up by running your gotdamn mouth. Where did you get that shit from? It definitely didn't come from me." Montana says. "Nobody. I don't care if I get in trouble because I hate it here! I hated that school, I hate living in New Orleans, and I hate not seeing my brothers and my sisters! I wanna go back to California!" Tae screams, making Dream cry.

"Scream one more time and see what happens." Montana threatens as I put Dream's pacifier in her mouth. Tae folds his arms across his chest. "What's gone happen, daddy?" Tae asks, making my eyes widen a little. "Do it and find out." Montana answers. Tae takes his seat belt off then stands up. "Tae, sit down and put that seat belt back on." I demand. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Tae screams at the top of his lungs, shocking the hell out of me. "Now what, Montana?" Tae snaps, breathing heavily.

"Oh my God, Tae, shut your mouth and sit down." I demand. I'm scared for him. Montana starts laughing. "You done lost your mind." Montana says. "Yeah, it's in California. I wanna go back to get my mind that I lost." Tae yells. "Tae..." I mumble.

Montana starts speeding, getting closer and closer to our house. "Get the baby." Montana says to me. I get out then take her out her seat. I grab her diaper bag then walk to the front door. "Get out the car, now." Montana demands. "No." Tae says. Montana snatches him out the door, holding him over his shoulders as Tae kicks and screams. "Did your ass just bite me?" Montana yells at Tae as we walk in the house. "Yes!" Tae screams, rolling down Montana's back. He takes off running out the back door of the house.

I walk upstairs then lay my baby down in my bed. I rush down the stairs. "Daddy, move or I'll run you over!" Tae screams, cranking up his blue go kart he got for Christmas. It's almost the size of a car. "Tae, stop, right now!" I demand. "Tell him get away from me mommy! I'm gonna run him over!" Tae screams, crying. "Tae, if you don't bring your ass in this house!" Montana yells. I start screaming in shock and fear as Tae runs Montana over in his go kart. "I told him to get away from me, mommy!" Tae screams.

I rush over to Montana then grab his hand. "You okay?" I ask, trying to help him up. "Fuck, I think he broke my finger." he says, closing his eyes tight in pain. "JeMontae!" I scream, chasing him. He literally just knocked the wooden fence down with the go kart and is driving out of here now. I chase after him. "Come here, Tae, stop, okay? I'm not gonna hit you. Calm down." I say as he screams, hitting the gas as hard as he can. "Tae, please." I beg, grabbing the back of the go kart. He hits the brakes then looks at me. "Why daddy wanna hurt me? Mommy, I didn't do nothing real bad. He gone hurt me real bad. He gone punch me again. I don't want that." Tae cries. "Punch you?" I ask, confused. He nods his head. "He punched me in my chest when I started crying for no reason one day and told me to toughen up. It hurt real bad so I don't wanna get punched. Imma hurt daddy before I let him hurt me again." Tae says, sniffling.

"Get out the go kart, baby." I say. "No. He gone come get me." Tae says. "No he's not." I say. He slowly gets out, shaking. "Get in the passenger seat." I demand. He sits in it then buckles up. I sit on the driver's side then drive the go kart back to the house. I open the garage then drive in. I'm gonna lock him out the garage for now because I don't need him doing that shit again. I'm probably gonna get rid of the go kart all together. He likes cars so we decided to get him this on Christmas. I didn't think he'd use it this way.

"Come here. Look at me. You just did something really bad. You bit your daddy and you ran him over. So, if you get a whoopin, you know why, alright?" I ask. He slowly nods his head, sniffling. "Come on." I demand, opening the door. Montana's sitting at the kitchen table with his first aid kit, wiping blood off his arms and legs with alcohol. "JeMontae Montgomery. Double Og, triple og." Montana sarcastically says, chuckling.

"I got scared." Tae mumbles. "Scared, huh? Guess what?" Montana asks. "What?" Tae asks, hiding behind my leg. I wrap my arm around his shoulder. "Come here." Montana demands. Tae slowly walks over to him. "You ran me over, lil man. You done fucked up now." Montana says, hysterically laughing. "Stop it. Just calm down, alright." I demand, walking over to Montana. "Get back. This between me and the OG." Montana sarcastically says.

I shake my head as they stare each other down. "Imma give you an option. You pick which order you want this in. You can go bring me all your toys, games, and everything else I bought, you can go outside and start running and working out, you can go get the tools to fix the shit you broke outside, or you can go get my belt first. All of these things are happening so you pick which one you want first." Montana says.

Tae sighs. "Can I have another chance?" Tae asks. "Pick or I'll pick for you." Montana says. "I'm scared." Tae mumbles. Montana stands up. "Go get my belt." he demands. I shake my head then walk up the stairs. I lay down in the bed with Dream next to me. So much for trying to go to California.

MONTANA

I handled my business with my son. It took three hours to get everything back in order. I sat and had a long talk with him afterwards. I made sure he understood where I was coming from and where he messed up. He had to be disciplined for his actions, simple as that.

I'm tired as fuck now. I had some good news to cheer Jessica up earlier but I got thrown off track by Tae getting in trouble. I make sure the doors locked, then walk to Tae's room. "You said your prayers?" I ask. "I did. Goodnight." he says. "Goodnight. I love you, lil man. Every time I yell and discipline you, it's because I love you and I wanna see you shine one day." I tell him. He smiles a little. "I love you too, daddy." he says.

I walk out then up the stairs to my bedroom. Jessica's asleep with Dream cuddled close to her. I pick my daughter up then walk to her nursery. I kiss her on her cheek then lay her in her crib. I walk out then back to my room, making sure I close the door behind me. I turn my TV on, going straight to the home surveillance.

I climb on top of Jessica, kissing on her neck and chest. She rolls over on her back, still sleeping as I continue to kiss on her. I slide her tank top down then put her nipple in my mouth. She opens her eyes then starts staring at me as I kiss and suck her chest. "Get off of me. I don't want you touching me." she mumbles, pushing me.

I grab her hand. "I got something for you." I tell her. "I'm not in the mood. I'm trying to sleep." she says, rolling over on her side. "Please." I beg. She sits up then narrows her eyes at me. "What do you want?" she asks. I reach under the bed then pull the red envelope from underneath it. "Here." I say, handing it to her. She eyes me for a second then opens it up. "What's this key for?" she asks, staring at the key. "The new house." I answer. "What new house? I don't wanna move. I'm tired of moving around Louisiana every time I look around. No." she says. "Naw, baby, that's the key to the new house in California. I fucked up and I'm sorry. We moving back and imma make all this shit right. I want you happy and I'm done being selfish. California it is." I tell her.

I watch as her eyes tear up. "For real?" she asks. "Yeah. I bought the house a while ago. I didn't know how to address the situation. I know I did something terrible but I love you so much. I just want to see you happy. We can start packing first thing tomorrow. Whether you stay with me or not when we get there, know that I want the best for you and that I love you." I say. Her eyes tear up. I wrap her in my arms as she hugs me tight, crying hard as fuck on my shoulder. "Thank you." she says, sniffling. I pull away then kiss her. "Don't thank me for something I owe you." I say.

I lay down, staring at her. She grins a little. "What?" I ask. She jumps on top of me, laughing and crying as she kisses all over me. "Nothing, I'm just so happy!" she exclaims. I wrap my arms around her waist then kiss her neck. I don't even want to have sex right now. I just want to lay with her in my arms and appreciate her presence.
