Chapter 11

Octavia

I felt like crap twice laid the next morning. My feelings were not only from my hangover, but from the realization that I had been so caught up in my madness that I forgot about my daughter. I made myself a promise that it would never happen again, and I was determined, come hell or high water, that I would keep my promise. I came downstairs and found Damon sprawled out across the sofa wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt. The sight of him reminded me of when I woke up in the hospital and he was sleeping in the chair next to the bed. I knew I was wrong for how I had spoken to him, and he was justified for his response, but that didn’t prevent me from being angry. Sometimes the truth is the most flammable fuel for a fire. The house phone rang as I entered the kitchen, I frowned instantly when I saw my mother’s name on the caller ID.

“Good morning mommy,” I said politely.

“Why didn’t you tell me about the attack?” Mama immediately asked.

“I didn’t want to worry you,” I said, honestly.

“So your passing out drunk after redecorating in abstract wouldn’t worry me?” She said with sarcasm dripping in her voice.

I pulled the refrigerator door open and removed eggs and vegetables for an omelet. I slammed the door as Damon came dragging into the kitchen. He maneuvered around me, opened the refrigerator and removed a bottle of apple juice before sitting down at the kitchen table.

“You weren’t supposed to know about that,” I said, rolling my eyes at him. “I guess honor has taken on a whole new meaning.” Damon looked at me with raised eyebrows then exhaled.

“Don’t you dare blame Damon,” Mama ordered. “He was right to call us and he was right to want to take care of you.”

“Why did that require you coming to pick up Jasmine?” I asked, placing a skillet on top of the stove.

“Did you really want your daughter to see you in that condition?”

Mama had a point. I didn’t want my daughter to see me inebriated. It was a bad look no matter how young she was.

“No,” I answered.

“Alright then, stop being hard on the man who loves you enough to realize that.”

“Fine,” I said.

“I love you baby you know this ,” Mama said gently.

“I love you too.”

“But I think you may want to talk to someone,” she continued. “Get some therapy.”

“I’m fine Mama,” I said. “I just need a little time.” There was no way I was going to see a therapist. I didn’t need some over-educated , over-achiever telling me what I already feared inside; that I was losing my mind. Hell, that part I understood!

“Octavia, you have to talk about what’s happened,” she said. “It’s not good to keep your emotions bottled up.”

“I’m not Mama,” I said, attempting to convince her. “Just give me a little more time and if I don’t sort things out, I’ll follow your suggestion. I promise.” Mama took a deep breath then exhaled.
