Teach me how to love ~On Hold~

Chapter 7

Dejanae POV

After talking to Jayden I felt something warm inside me a sensation that I knew when I was younger. I laid in bed and just stared at the ceiling  my thoughts all collect when my phone went off saying I had a message:

Jayen bae: Morning ma, wanna go catch some breakfast with me?? 

Dejanae: Sure 

Jayden bae: Cool, text me your address and i'll pick you up in an hour.

I texted Jayden my address and plopped back on the bed, all this is too much for me to handle my phone interrupted my thoughts again saying I had another message.

Queen_Aaliyah: Hey girl, Damion is getting on my last nerve I need to get out and relieve some stress wanna go to the mall??

Dejanae: yah, later I'm going to breakfast with Jadyen so maybe you can swing by around 1 and i'll come with you

Queen_Aaliyah: ohh I see my boo getting it with her bae I gotcha but sure I'll see you around 1 bye boo 

I  finished responding  , rolled off the bed and headed to my closet. I don't have the cutest outfits the one I wore to school happened to be Aaliyah's my mom stopped buying me clothes and giving me money at times I would wear the same outfit twice maybe three ties because I had nothing else. It wasn't until my cousin started sending me hand me downs and my dad started sending me money from where ever he is that I could start wearing decent looking clothes.

I decided on a swat er with a scarf, black leggings and black boots I  ffinished showering and doing my hair in a messy bun,  I brushed my teeth add some sweet pink lip gloss.

I checked my phone he should be here in 10 minutes  

I waked downstairs into the kitchen where my mother was i tried to be quiet maybe she wont notice me.

Dejanae"s mom: where you going little girl

~ silence~

Dejanae's mom: Now I know your big headed self heard me WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!! she shouted.

I turned around to meet the skinny women, in her pink rode with purple rollers in her hair and a cigarette in between her fingers, she had aged very fast she's only 34 but her face and body says a different thing, she had huge bags under her eyes and lost a lot of weight her hair was turning gray fast she looked nothing like the mother I knew. My thoughts were interrupted by a stinging sensation on my check, I turned my face my watery eyes meeting her cold black ones.

Dejanae's mom: Now I've been nice today but little girl your trying my patience I'mma ask you one more time before I punch you dead in your mouth where are you going

Dejanae: * whispers* out to eat with a friend

Dejanae's mom: * laughing* what Friend you only have Aaliyah's trashy self

I couldn't speak Aaliyah was my best friend and her mom was my mom's best friend yet she talks trash about then.

Dejanae's mom:  I find you pathetic, you walk around here all sad saying no one cares about you, you have no friends blah blah. Well if you change your look and ditch the trash maybe someone will look behind your physical appearance cause no one can change that and i feel bad that no one can I mean God must have been getting lazy when he made you * laughing*

That was it I couldn't take no more I rushed out the door with hot tears streaming from my face. Jayden's car was just pulling up  I quickly hopped in not making eye contact. once I noticed we weren't moving I whiped my tears and faced him.
