Soleil & Tremaine (A love story)

Chapter 34

Soleil POV

"Hey" I said to my dad as I got in the car with him.

"Was good Nook, you straight?" My dad asked kissing my forehead. I sighed.

"Yeah.." I said.

"Well I heard about what happened." He said.

"With what?" I asked.

"Your sister and your mother." He said and I looked over at him.

"How'd you know?" I asked.

"You told Diana and she told me. Figured you needed me, and I hope you know you can always come to me now. I promise." My dad said and I nodded my head.

"Well.. Yeah. I tried to help mom, she relapsed and ended up at my house. I don't even know how she knew where I lived. But she came out, strung out on meth, cocaine and everything else you could think of. I took her to the hospital and the cleansed her and got her well, and she agreed to go to a program. But once Desireè came she switched up on me... Really cold." I said.

"I heard.." My dad said.

"I just don't understand. I don't understand why she did it like that, and I don't understand what she has against me? Like..? I didn't do anything" I said.

"You didn't. So stop tryna wonder. Ain't nothing you can do Zay." My dad said.

"Yeah I know." I said.

"But Nook, I'm sorry you feel neglected and overlooked by your mama. And hated by your sister.. I don't get it either. I'm sorry you feel- You good?" He asked me because I looked away trying not to cry.

I don't even know why the fuck I get emotional about my mom. I shouldn't care, because she doesn't. At all.

"Yeah." I said clearing my throat.

"Look at me" He said and I looked at him. "Head up Nook, you a G. You know why?" He asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you just like ya pops. We rise above the bullshit. I'm here now, I got yo back, that's on my SOUL. You hear me?" My dad said.

"Yeah. Thank you dad, you came out and been doing everything you said you was gonna do" I said and we both smiled.

"You got my word. And I got something else.." He said.

"What's that?" I asked and he opened the car console and revealed a pre rolled blunt.

"I-"

"Nook don't play wit me cuh I know yo ass smoke weed" He said and I laughed.

"How'd you know?" I asked.

"Because you my damn child and you're just like me. Come on now" My dad said and I smiled.

"You right.." I said pulling out my pill bottle of weed from my purse and he laughed.

"Wowwww. You got blunt wraps on you? We can smoke this pre roll then roll up one afterwards if you down" My dad said.

"Yeah I'm down, we can do that. I got a blunt wrap" I said.

"Aight coo, we'll drive around and just chill, I know you need that and plus I needa get to know my baby girl better" My dad said and I cheesed.

"Yes! I'm wit it" I said.

"When you were born, and I held you, I wanted to name you Alizè... But then, I thought about naming you Soleil. After your grand mama. So that's why we named you Soleil, then put Alizè as your middle name" My dad said and I rose my eyebrows.
