Alizè POV
"How Miami sounding for a while?" My sister Skylar asked me as we ate my mom special and my favorite spaghetti with meatballs, sausages and spray cheese. I shrugged then started twirling my fork. "I'm not hungry anymore" I sighed and walked away. Knowing Skylar was right behind me I just sat on the couch pouting. She sat next to me and stared at me for a while. "What Sky?" I mumbled scrolling through my phone. "I'm trying to understand why don't you want to leave Harlem?! None of them bird ass bitches like you and all them thirsty ass niggas is just waiting for you to give it up!!" Skylar snapped. "I don't need to be liked by anyone and you act like I wasn't going through this when mommy was here" I said then wiped my tears. "Oh please! You act like she looked out for you. She was too busy getting high" Skylar shrugged and I jumped on her. Usually Skylar could easily kick my ass, but I had the upper hand right now and I was giving it to her. Skylar wasn't actually fighting back though she was just trying to push me off of her. And when she did she tossed me back on the couch. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" She yelled tying her hair up. "Don't talk about mommy!" I yelled filled with rage. I was going to attack her again but somebody rang the bell. "Who?!" Skylar yelled still upset that I attacked her. I didn't hear what they said so I just went to my room. My mom has been gone for the past five months, she had overdosed on cocaine. Yeah she was on something heavy, but I didn't care I still loved my mom unconditionally. No I didn't want to accept the fact that she was a addict but when I asked her about it she would curse me out or send me straight to my room. I miss her so much it sucks that's she's gone forever. Burrying my face into my pillow somebody knocked on the door. "What Skylar?" I asked. "Its not Skylar. Its Auntie Gabby" she said slowly walking into my room. I sat up and wiped my face. "Hey" I sighed. "Baby Skylar just told me about you attacking her what's going on?" Aunt Gabby asked sitting on my bed. "Did she tell you why?" I asked with my attitude on a thousand. "Hmm slow that attitude down. I was just suggesting that if you don't want to move to Miami you can stay with me in Brooklyn" she smiled. "No thank you. I'll just go to Miami" I said wanting to laugh from her facial expression. "Oh! That's was surprising but why? I have a lot of space" she said. "I want to stay close with my sister" I said and started laughing. "What's funny?" She laughed with me. I just shook my head nothing. "Okay now that you're all giggly let's go apologize to your sister" she smiled. I stood up and rolled my eyes. I was going to refuse but if I would've told what Skylar said the whole family would be down her back. So I just went and apologized to her. "So about this Miami house um when are you buying the house? I'm not trying to start from no bottom. I'm not Drake" I said rolling my eyes. I was still upset about what Skylar said even though I did apologize. "We just have to pack your clothes and make our way out there" Skylar smiled. I forgot just that quick that Skylar already lived in Miami. She moved out there when she turned eighteen to get away from my mom and her drug addiction. I can tell she was very excited. "And what about me going to school?" I asked folding my arms. "Well we can get your transfer papers and then after school we can make our way to Miami" she shrugged. "This is too fast, don't you think?" I asked Skylar. "So just come live with me" Aunt Gabby cooed. I just ignored her and walked away. "So is that a yes?" Skylar called after me. Ignoring her as well I turned up my music to one hundred then started packing everything in my room. I guess goodbye New York and hello Miami.
"Come on Zay, let's sign you out of school so we can be on our way" Skylar said shaking me awake. "I'm still mad at you but you're lucky Auntie Gabby has too many kids or I would've went straight to Brooklyn" I said walking to the bathroom. "Blah blah blah. Just get ready so we can be in Miami!" Skylar cheered. I took a shower and got out then lotioned my body. Getting dressed I put on my gray Nike shirt, dark denim jeans with my nine's and I put my hair in a messy bun with a Nike head band on. "You ready Zay? I'm ready to leave" Skylar whined. I laughed putting on my army fatigue jacket then my MAC lip gloss. "Come on" I said picking up my phone and clutch. "Where's your book bag? What if they make you stay for the day?" Skylar asked looking like she was going on a interview. "Why you got plans? Look I'm seventeen I can watch myself" I said. "Okay I'm glad to know that now grab your bag" She smirked. I rolled my eyes and went to grab my PINK bag. Just because my mom was an addict didn't mean she didn't spoil the hell out of me. "We can go now" I said grabbing my keys. Walking out of the building with Skylar all eyes were on us like if we were naked. "Come my car is this way" Skylar directed and I just followed her. Its funny how I really don't have no friends. I beat up almost every girl in these projects from left to right. I even got jumped but only came out with a swollen hand. We got in Skylar's car then I directed her to my school as she drove. "Alizè who's that?" Mark asked looking at Skylar. "Little boy please!" Skylar laughed at him. We sat in Mr. Jenkins office for at least ten minutes before he came. "Good morning Alizè and ?" He asked holding his hand out to Skylar. "Skylar. Alizè older sister" she smiled. "Okay so she's getting transfered to where and why?" He asked her. "To Candice R.S. high school and because we are moving to Miami. I have to take care of her now that my mom passed" Skylar said. "Oh yes I've heard. Sorry for your loss ma'am" he spoke. I rolled my eyes, Mr. Jenkins is really all about bull shit. My mom forever cursed him out especially when he tried yelling at me for fighting back when the girls tried to jump me. I sucked my teeth. "Whats wrong Zay?" Skylar asked. Knowing that I can't hold my mouth even if I tried I just mugged Mr. Jenkins. "Alizè hello" Skylar said waving her hands in front if my face. "He's mad fucking phony don't accept that sorry shit. Mommy hated his clown ass. Now can we get my fucking papers so we can leave already?!" I snapped. They both just stared at me like if I just cursed in the church.
"And you wonder why everybody won't be your friend!!" Skylar yelled at me while we were in the car. I just a shrugged my shoulders. "Listen Skylar I really don't give a fuck. I'm not staying here anyways. If they want to fight me again then we can do that" I said. Skylar parked her car and looked at my way. "Alizè stop cursing that shit isn't even cute for your age. One you're a little ass girl and too you're a female!! I just hope you know that shit won't be accepted in my motherfucking house!! You with this nasty ass attitude either! So go get your shit so we can leave!!" Skylar yelled at me. I sucked my teeth and got out of the car. The nerve of her, telling me cursing not cute but cursed in every sentence. Walking in my house my Aunt Gabby was folding my mom stuff up. "Hey. You scared me" she smiled warmly. "Sorry. And auntie I wanted to know, who's going to live here? Because later on in life I want to come back here and reminisce" I said grabbing both of my suit cases. "Your Luli" she continued to smile. That's my grandmother but I'm the only one who calls her that, ever since I was a baby. I always used to be at her house and her friends was forever at her house so I always heard them call her Lilly or Lillian. But I was too young to say Lilly. "Really?! So why just can't I stay with her ?" I whined. "You fight too much. You're not going to have my mother stressing over you" Auntie Gabby said shaking her head. "Man whatever!" I said snatching my suitcases out of the door. Taking them two to Skylar's car I went back upstairs one last time to get my other two suit cases. And broke down crying in my moms room. "Mommy I'm going to miss you!!" I cried very loud. I hugged her covers and cried some more. "Awww Zay. Don't cry mommas" Auntie Gabby said hugging me. I continued to cry until Skylar walked into the room. "Alizè come on its time to go" she mumbled rubbing my hair. "Please can I stay? Like I would even go back to catholic school. I want to staaaay. Please let me stay!!" I begged squeezing my mom blanket even tighter. They both just stared at me with pity in their eyes. That meant the answer was most definitely a no. I started crying non stop then let go of my mom blanket and grabbed my last two suit cases. I got in Skylar car and didn't say one word. Even when we got to the airport, only silence; my music wasn't even on. That's how I know I was really bothered with not staying at my mothers house. "Alizè I know you wanted to stay so bad but I especially me, knowing how messed up the Brooke's family is you would've been calling me as soon as I left" Skylar said staring at me mope. "How do you know that?" I mumbled. "Girl you think I just moved straight to Miami? Well I didn't. I was hopping from house to house. From Auntie Lisa to Auntie Gabby house they all made me feel like shit. Talked about mommy right in front of me. They all treated me like a step child that wasn't wanted. So I left and that's why when I did hear about mommy passing my orders was to get you right on the spot. Do you know why?" She asked me. I just shook my head no. "Because I didn't want you go through the same thing. Having to deal with your own family being fucked up can change you as a person. And that's coming from personal experience" Skylar teared wiping her tears. "I'm so sorry about the way I've been acting. Its just that I miss mommy so much" I cried getting people attention. Skylar quickly hugged me and rested my head on her chest. "I know I'm going to miss her too. But we have to be strong and make her proud" she said holding me. I cried some more then felt myself slowly dozing off in her arms. "You sleep?" Skylar laughed a little.I started laughing then sat up. "I was about to be". "Look come on our plane is here waiting for us" Skylar smiled grabbing two of my suit cases. Good bye New York and hello Miami. I'll be back one day !
