*Kendell's POV*
After leaving Londyn's I went to the construction site and listened to that man's bullshit one more time. He had a drawing for me and wanted to see if I could map it out. It's a very basic sketch but atleast he is giving me more to work with. I drove back to my mommas house.
"Hey momma, I took those things to Londyn" I smiled and gave momma a hug
"Do you remember her now" She asked
"Yeah I do a little bit, she jogged my memory. She looks so different now" I sat at the kitchen table
"She's grown into her looks I can say" mom chuckled
"I apologized to her" I changed my playful tone to a serious one
"Oh for what" mom looked at me with concern
"We were thicker than thieves and then boom I ghosted her for my popular friends but where are they now. After high school nothing from them not even a Facebook friend request" I sighed
"She had it rough through school" mom sighed
"Glasses and Braces, they bullied her and I laughed right along with them"
"Kendell popularity changes people I warned you and your brother"momma rested her chin on my head
"You know how someone says forget about it but you know it hurt them. How do you make it better" I asked
"Kendell is my softie son coming back instead of that business man without a heart" she asked
"Im not a softie or a business man without a heart mom" I scoffed
"Well Kendell apologize with effort and show a visible change, That's how" momma kissed my forehead and went upstairs
A softie. I went to the bathroom to look myself in the mirror. A softie. I'm Kendell Motherfuking Briggs. Hotshot of the Park. I'm not a softie. I'm the man. Why am I so caught up on making this Londyn girl feel so good. I'm ignoring my work because she's on my mind. I opened up to her. I don't open up to anyone because there's nothing I'm unhappy with. Im going to be CEO of an architect company. I don't have the time to be in a fantasy land over some girl, I haven't talked to since my school boy days. I'm not a cold business man without a heart. I just have a business to run and I have to run it a certain way.
I pulled out my phone and texted Tony if I could crash at his hotel. All this spending time with family is tearing down my work ethic. I knew I had to make a sacrifice between this family or my business and I made my decision. I have to make money. We grew up poor and I'm never going back. I can't believe for a second I missed the Park. This piece of shit park.
Where I grew up and where I had the best memories of my life. I stopped to stare at myself. I don't even recognize me anymore. Momma is right I have changed since this company. I put work before them and even tried to justify it. I just need time to think. Time away from them. Time to work.
Tony texted me back saying the boss wanted us back in LA pronto. And sent me flight information
"Fuck" I yelled
"Kendell are you okay" I heard my father's voice
I opened the bathroom door
"I'm wanted back in LA ASAP" I sighed
"Work" he asked
"Yes" I headed upstairs to grab my bags
"Kendell" My mother stopped me in the hallway
"Momma I have to go back to LA but as soon as I can I'll be back" I kissed her forehead
"Sure you will" I heard her mumble
"Kev Im leaving" I knocked on my brothers door
"Man you just got here" he opened the door
