“What the fuck did I tell you?” I yelled, pulling off so fast that the tires of my car burned rubber on the street and then screeched as I turned the corner.

Donna had a death grip on the handle of the car door, but I didn’t care. She could have opened that bitch and jumped out and it wouldn’t have mattered to me, because I was just that fucking mad at her ass.

“I give you one fucking instruction and you can’t even do that.”

“I’m sorry!” she yelled, her voice cracking.

“Sorry ain’t good enough. You got my whole family against me when I need them the most. Now I’m never going to get them to believe my momma’s alive. Fuck!” I slammed my hand against the steering wheel.

“I know I should have listened to you,” she cried, “but I just wanted to see him so bad.”

I shook my head angrily. “We had an agreement when I dropped you off downtown. I told you I’d bring him to the park.”

“Lou, please, I thought you were lying about bringing him to the park.” She reached out and touched my shoulder, but I shrugged her off. “I really didn’t think things were going to go that far.”

“How the fuck did you even know where to find me? What did you do, follow me?”

“I was taking a cab to the park like you told me,” she answered. “We just happened to pass by the house. I saw you parking, so I told the driver to stop,”

“You didn’t think showing up at that house would piss people off? What the fuck did you think Chippy was gonna do, invite you in and make you a plate?”

Donna sucked her teeth. “I didn’t care what that bitch did. This wasn’t about her.”

“That’s your fucking problem! You don’t care about anybody but yourself. I should’ve known trusting you was gonna turn around and bite me in the ass. But that’s okay. I’m done. I’m taking your ass to the bus station.” I reached over and grabbed her shoulder so hard that she gasped. I wasn’t going to hit her, but I needed her to understand how serious I was. I only released my grip when I noticed that she was on the verge of tears.

“I’m sorry,” she said softly, wiping away a tear as she leaned against the window to put as much distance between us as possible.

“Look,” I said, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. But I care about my family, and now they’re all pissed at me because of you. I need them to help me find my momma, and now they probably won’t even talk to me.”

We both sat in silence as I drove. My mind was filled with thoughts of LC and Larry. I couldn’t believe my brothers had refused to listen to me and then allowed that bastard Mahogany to talk to me that way. I didn’t know who this man thought he was, and I didn’t care. He would definitely be handled—once I found my mother and got back to my old self.
