I live with my mom Kelita and my little sister Bella were Jamaican Hispanic and American. My dad died in a Drive by about two months ago so it's been kinda hard lately but I try my best to keep my family happy.were moving tomorrow to try to get away from all the memories but I'm going to miss NYC tho....
(Next Day)
Get up baby girl it's time to go our flight leaves in the next 2 hours and 30 minutes so I'm giving you an hour to be ready Mom said.
Uuugghh 5 more minutes
Alright now if I leave yo ass here don't say nothing she said
Always trynna threaten somebody
What
Nothing
Oh I thought I heard you say something she said walking out
I said you always trynna threaten somebody I mumbled again
Don't get slapped and while u at it do your sister hair she yelled walking down the hall back to her room.
I got out my bed and went straight for the bathroom I took a shower and washed my hair while at it when I was done I went to brush my teeth and wash my face then I walked out the bathroom in my towel and back to my room I finished completely drying off and wrapped a towel around my hair to stop the dripping then I put on my baby oil, my matching zebra print underwear and looked for a outfit I felt like doing something casual but boyish so I pulled out my high waisted shorts my yellow LA Lakers Jersey my weed socks and my Tims by the time I was finished my hair was dry so I went into the bathroom curled it and added a little makeup when I was done I put on a little lip gloss and headed to my sisters room my sister might be young but can dress fa days she had on her neon green long sleeve shirt her grey and black skinny jeans and her grey green purple and pink Jordan Retro 5's
how do you want your hair baby girl I asked her
I want it straight and down she said
so I went in her bathroom grabed the flat iron and began doing her hair when I was done I told her to pack the rest of her things in the box and bring it downstairs to mommy so she can put it in the car and I did as well as I finish packing I found a picture of my dad and I, I really wanted to be strong but my tears had no mercy and began pouring down my face causing my make up to smudge as I cried I sat on the floor
daddy - I - miss - you - so - much I whispered in between sobs and the crying only got louder from the memories of my father which made my mom run in to comfort me
she saw the picture in my hand and responded by saying
"Todo estara bien"
translation: everything will be alright
I laid my head on my mom's shoulder as she began to finger comb my hair
I love you baby girl
I love you too mommy...
On our way to the airport we stopped to get some snacks then we were on our way we got on the plane I put on my beats and blasted my music then I changed the song listening to dance with my father by Luther Vandross thinking of my dad then I soon feel into a deep sleep
**Dream**
**Daddy? I missed you so much. Why did you leave us?
I said as I broke down crying visioning how he died. He then walked closer to me and picked me up wiped my tears away looked me in the eyes he looked sincerely sorry and all i could do was love him the more Your too pretty to cry then he began to dance with me to dance with my father by Luther Vandross and I just buried my head in his chest and cried some more after about a hour of dancing, laughing and sharing old memories a few minutes later he said
I have to go now but remeber these words he said the words while disappearing
