Faith

I looked down and nodded my head slowly.

"Come on , we gotta go somewhere"

****

The car ride to wherever we were going was pretty quiet. He first stopped by a flower boutique and got 24 roses. 12 red roses and 6 pink and 6 white. He gave me the pink and white ones. Soon we arrived at.... The Grave Site?

Cameron stopped the car and sighed. He grabbed the red roses got out the car, came to my side and helped me out.

We walked further in and one grave stood out the most. It was gold and on the side was this woman. She was beautiful .

In the loving memory of

Serinity Rose Johnson

1979-2009

I looked over at Cameron and he was just looking at her grave with a blank stare. She must of been his mother. I took the roses and placed them on her grave.

"She's beautiful"

"She had me when she was 17 and died at 30 , which is when I was 13 . Living with my mother was always a struggle. Her and my dad's relationship was bad. Alot of arguments and cheating and so on and so forth. Anyways, she left my dad without telling him she was even pregnant with me and careem. She struggled to keep a job so Careem turned to the streets to help her out. She worked a 9-5 and sold her body for money just to support us. After 2 years One day she got hooked to some crack and thats the beginning of where it went completely left. She got fired from her job , still selling her body but she spent that money on crack to fulfill her addiction. Within a year she was extremely addicted she owed some dude money that she wasnt able to pay back. While me and careem where in school they came to the house and shot her to death."

I gasped and looked up at him. And seen tears in his eyes.

"Ba-"

"I hated her. I hated this woman so much because if she would have just told our dad about us then there would have been a possibility we wouldn't have had to struggle the way we did, we wouldn't have had to witness her getting beat and having sex with every other dude just to be able to support us. I hated the fact that she got addicted to crack which led to her death. I hated her for years. I felt like the woman I loved most left and betrayed me.. but then I had to realize she did what she did out of love. She worked her ass off on a 9-5 to make sure we had a roof over our heads , she sold her body to make sure we had food on the table and clothes on our backs. She did what she had to do, but I never had the love I needed and wanted from her. While Careem was in the streets I applied for a job at 15 and we been working every since. And thats how Careem found our dad and every since then we been good. But I could never forget the struggle this woman went through to make sure we were good. Even though she has done wrong , everybody makes mistakes. But I love her. "

"Baby, I'm sorry I never knew. You been through alot. Whether or not she hasnt showed you the love you needed and wanted. I know that if she went through all of that then she loved you more than she loved herself. He was willing to sacrifice herself to make sure yiu and Careem had what ya'll needed."

"Faith I know I was wrong for that dumb ass comment I made but I just felt like after I heard what you said on the phone was like a slap in the face. Like every female I love or try to love ends up doing me wrong or leaving me. And faith I can't lose you."

"You dont ever have to worry about me doing you wrong. Ima always be here for you , remember that."

After a few more minutes of talking we got back in the car and drove home , we just laid up watching movies and soon enough we fell asleep.

Cameron

To be honest after telling Faith what I told her about my mother lastnight I felt alot better.  Like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.  For years I've held what I felt inside never telling anybody , not even my twin. To know that Faith will always be there for me makes me feel good inside like I will always have that one person in my corner. I still felt bad for not trusting her like I should have so im going to make it up to her.

I got up carefully making sure I didnt wake her up. I wwnt in the bathroom brushed my teeth turned on the shower and got in. I took about a 30 minute shower got out , got dressed. Grabbed my phone and keys and was out the door...
