when my dad finally got home from whatever he was doing, we all had a long talk about the whole situation.
"no no no, you come home for every bit of 3 days, then leave for another week. where the money going to cause it sure in hell ain't going towards nothing in this house," cohen said.
"watch your tone," my dad said.
"NO BRUH, you just a deadbeat fuck up. who the fuck leaves their teenagers at home by themselves for weeks at a time, huh? exactly, nobody," cohen said, walking up the stairs.
"i don't know what you expect us to say. cohen said it all. if you can't handle the truth, that's a personal problem bruh. YOUR SONNN, was in a car wreck. 2 days after the wreck, you left us," i said.
my dad just sat on the couch with his hand on his forehead. he didn't look to moved by anything we were saying. i was over him and anything he had to offer. once i move out, im not coming back.
the next day...
when i woke up i had a lot of messages and missed facetimes from brandon. wiping my eyes, i went to the bathroom and returned his facetime.
"LIYAHHHHHHH"
"boy what you want with allat yelling."
"nothing, i missed you."
"awww i miss you too."
"you just woke up or something," he said looking hard into the camera.
"yeah, we were up late last night solving family problems, fucked up ass family," i mumbled.
after we got off facetime, i proceeded to get in the shower and get ready for the day. i didn't have anything to do, but i still wanted to get a little cute.

i wore this with my hair down. i facetimed briana as a i walked into the garage.
"what nigga," dejuane said answering the phone.
"where bri at," i asked.
"in the bathroom, y'all doing something," he asked.
"nah, imma come over there real quick though."
"ight, bye ugly fucker," he said.
"bye nigga," i said laughing, hanging up.
i opened the garage and left my house. on the way to dejuane's house, i called brandon. he was going to meet there. i got to dejuane's house around 4 pm. around this time, there was a lot of stuff to do. we didn't plan on going out together, so we stayed at dejuanes house and binge watched some shows. briana ordered pizza, and we chilled together.
"y'all realize we got school in like-9 days," briana said.
"im not tryna go, shit get so depressing," dejuane said.
"just a heads up, a lot of people either gon try to be your friend or they gon hate you cause of brandon," dejuane added.
"well shitttttt, imma have to get used to it," i said shrugging.
we chilled at dejuane's house for a while, then brandon and i went to my house. while we were chilling, my auntie called me. we had been talking since josh had his wreck. my dad and my aunt didn't really talk a lot, but me and my aunt had gotten close over time. she said i was always welcome to her house. i had been thinking about going over there for a while, just to get away from my dad and josh.
"well what you gon do," brandon asked me.
"i don't know, but i can't stay here much longer."
i left out of my room for a minute. i had thoughts about just moving in with my auntie until things got better here. i decided to stay with her for small portions at a time, to see if i really wanted to move in. my dad had no say of where i was staying from now on. i called my aunt back and told her my decision.
(a/n: this story is all over the place but it's gon get better next chapter)
the next day...
i woke up to brandon elbowing my back.
"ow nigga watch out," i said punching his side.
"damn i ain't mean to," he said grabbing his side.
i got up and went to the bathroom. my aunt and i agreed that i would come around 3 pm to get settled in. since i wasnt fully moving in, i just packed a couple bags with clothes, shoes, and other things to keep me occupied. after brandon and i got ready and ate breakfast, we loaded my car up and drove to my aunt's house. she stayed further from my school, deeper in the suburbs. when we got there, my aunt came outside.
"awwww, it's been so long," she said as she pulled me into a hug.
"i know right," i said hugging her back.
"and who is this young man," my auntie said looking at brandon.
"oh yeah, this my boyfriend brandon," i said smiling.
"nice to meet you, im alicia," she said as they shook hands.
we went inside and talked to my aunt for awhile before finally bringing my stuff inside. my cousin, who was my aunts only son, was in college. he was out of town with his dad, my aunts husband, but they were coming back soon. after finally getting settled in, brandon said his goodbyes, and i took him to my house to get his car. we sat in his car and talked for a minute, then we both left. once i got back to my aunts house, we talked more, then ate dinner. i then took a shower, got ready for bed, and facetimed brandon til i fell asleep.
a/n: this story getting boring...but imma try to make it better i promise :)
