Chapter 37 Shut up please

A day had passed. Della felt really awful about what had happened. Her son didn't sleep at home, her son didn't want to come home... everything was just a mess.

"So are you coming back home today?" Della tried to ease the intensity around the breakfast table in her ex-husband home.

"I want to stay with dad." Leo shrugged sadly. Della's heart whimpered, what had she done? literally pushed her son farther away from her. Leo picked at his food clearly not eating, Andre heaved out a sigh.

"You should probably just move back here." Andre suggested. He wanted to protect them both and didn't feel that he would be doing enough if Della was staying alone, in Queens.

"Excuse me?" Della whipped her head to look at Andre who wasn't even looking at her but she wished he was.

"It's a suggestion, you don't have to consider it... if you don't want to." Andre bit back.

"Mommy, you should stay here with us." Leo added defending his father's views.
