doesn’t even love himself because if he did he would get some help and deal with those demons that he’s been carrying around for years so that he can be a better man and parent than his parents were! Life is too short for the bullshit, Mina.” She said looking me directly in my eyes letting me know that she was speaking from her heart. “You took the first step by getting your baby and leaving but the key is to move forward and don’t look back. I know that you still love and care for him and that’s natural. It’s not possible to be with someone that long and then leave and not still have feelings for them but in this situation it is in your best interest to love him from a distance! Move forward with your life and find someone who will love you and treat you the way that you should be treated. You deserve to be loved and pampered. Not only that, but Simya deserves better than that. Don’t allow her to grow up watching her daddy or any other man beat on you or her because she will start to believe that’s how a man is supposed to treat her. You don’t want that for her.”
                  “You’re right. I don’t.” She got up from her seat and leaned over the bed and gave me a hug. “Aaahhhh…”
                  She quickly jumped back. “Dag, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” She looked concerned. “Are you alright?”
                  “Yeah, I’m okay.”
                  She sat back down. “I just want you to know that everything will be fine and if you need me, I’m here for you regardless of what it is that you need.”
                  “Thanks cuz.”
                  “No problem.” We continued to talk and I told her about me bumping into Tremaine earlier and giving him my number. “Tremaine Jefferson?” She asked giving me the screw face.
                  “Yes, Tremaine Jefferson. Why are you looking at me like that?”
                  “Girl, what is wrong with you? I know that I just got through saying that you need to move on but not in that direction. Tre is a straight up dog! That dude has slept with almost every chic in Boykins and all of the surrounding areas.”
                  “Nelle, he’s slept with quite a few but I think that you are exaggerating a bit.” I tried to laugh but it hurt too badly.
                  “Exaggerating my ass! Tre is a dog!” She folded her arms and swiveled her neck at the same time. “Not only that but I know you don’t want to have to deal with Kisha and or his other babymama, Lala. He has too much babymama drama. Don’t get me wrong, Lala ain’t a bad person. I used to do her hair a while back and she seems like the laid back type but it may be a little different dealing with her on a more personal level. Kisha on the other hand. She has become a hot mess since she left Tre! I hear that heffa is off the chain! I heard that she whooped Lala’s ass while she was holding her baby in her arms!”
                  I rolled my eyes up in my head. “And…what does any of that have to do with me? Tremaine is single and free to talk to whomever he wants and so am I.”
                  She looked at me like I’d said something wrong. “Mina listen, no offense or anything but you and I both know that you can’t fight. So I am trying to warn you before you get your little ass into something that you can’t get out of! And honey there ain’t no need in calling me because I refuse to be somewhere helping you fight over a bunch of foolishness. I have a child to raise. I can’t be getting locked up.”
                  “Whatever.” I snapped becoming defensive. “I’m not scared of Kisha or Lala! They don’t own Tremaine because they have kids with him!”
                  “Okay but don’t say that I didn’t try to warn you.” She told me getting up and
