~°Friday
Waking up from my bed as if I woke from the dead. I looked over to my dresser and I could see black clothes folded on top reminding me that my Mother's funeral is today.
But this time we were excused from school saying the whole squad. I rubbed the coals out of the corner of my eye and flipped the covers off me showing my sports bra and shorts.
Taking one step to the floor I felt the floor freezing as if I stepped on an ice cube I pulled my legs back to the bed in fright that I would get frost bite.
Finally facing the ice cube, I ran into my bathroom getting ready to freshing up. I took a look at my watch and it noted 7:45. I have enough time to take five showers.
After getting out the shower I decided to wake the girls up so they would be rushing through. Walking into the guest room I see three brown skin girls with their hands hanging off the bed and their necks turned the opposite ways.
"Yo get up and get dressed." I said flickering the lights, I didn't really get an answer back except a moan noise that whispered get the fuck out.
I don't have time for this but I knew I actually did. I decided to push them off the beds. First I did KK making her fall to the floor feeling the icy floor she shrieked in cold pain, which made the other sit up and scream as if they had a nightmire.
Well my job here is done. I walked out the room as they scowled me as I Shutup the door. Slipping on baggy black pants and a black tight fitting Nike shirt. I put my hair up in a high pony tail looking at my reflection trying to get ready to face the women who had me in her stomach for nine months, working her ass off to fill my stomach and put clothes in my warm back but not only that but striving me to get an education and make her proud of me in a coffin dead.... Breathless no longer in my life to snap at Mr when I did something wrong but to acknowledge me when I did something right.
As a tear fell to the bottom of my cheek. I felt my world shake under my feet as I put on all black earrings. I understand that when you're at a funeral the proper clothing is to wear a dark cotton dress but for one I know my mother would like to see Monique dress as Monique because she was always that type of mother.
"You ready?" Dede asked wearing the same type of clothes as me but in her own way. Whipping the tear from my face I answered in a soft crackled voice "Of course.".
Dede grabing my hand and guiding me to the car as KK and Mai waited in a dark color clothing with baggy pants and a black fited shirt saying "Love is the breeze it comes and goes as it please.".
I was driving because I knew where it was going go be held. Having nothing but awkward silence in the car.

Everybody was there the whole family. My aunts, uncles, step cousins, cousins the whole family pack and more. As I seen the uncles carry my mothers red velvet Casket to the small short step up stage. The opened the casket and everyone stood up and kissed her on the cheek. When I was my turn I combed her hair back with my fingers and looked he'd into her wooden brown eyes. "I love you." I kissed her on the cheek then grabbed her hand and kissed it then it was one to the next person.
After most of the family stood up to speak about the memories they had with my Mother. Then I started to get angered in my thoughts of letting her go like this. After the last family member went off the stage I stood up walking towards the mic stand laying my hands on the stand everybody was silent.
And all you could hear was people sniffling and saying Amen. Before speaking I looked at the open casket. "Now as you all know me as my mother's daughter, Monique." Looking into the crowd as the nodded agreeing. "Well me, Monique is not going to mourn in my mothers death. I'm actually happy for my mother because heaven has a new beautiful angel." I stopped as I heard claps and amens from the crowds.
"Yes but I'm not done. Not only that I realized that heaven has a new angel....but I also realized earth has a new demon. And that demon name is Diamond... And I don't care if I get shoot after I kill her because I'm going to kill her and nothing is going to stop me, not even Ricky. Now you can all try to stop me and hold me back but let me tell you this as you last warning. I don't care who you are or what you are....step in my way and Diamond is not gonna be the only one on my hit list." Looking deeper in the cfoed I can see the terrific expressions in their faces but I didn't care.
I looked to the back of the room and I can see Isaac and Isaiah in the back with smiles on there faces wearing a all black suite and KK, Dede, Mai smiling also but I don't know why cause I had other plans on my mind and I was read for everything that was going to be pushed towards me and against me. Before walking off the stage I blew a kiss to my mother and walked off. Diamond I'm coming for ya.
