ameera

"aaaa! billie stop!" i yelled as i ran through our apartment, laughing my ass off. "im gonna get ya!" billie's fast footsteps chased me. i laughed even harder, accidentally running into a wall. billie took the opportunity to grab me by the waist, tickling me hard.

"bil- ha! stop it!" i screamed dragging us to the floor. she finally stopped, my chest heaving. "oh my god i hate you." i panted and she smiled, her face incredibly close to mine.

"you look the most beautiful when you laugh." she said, dazed and looking at my lips. "and you look the most beautiful on top of me." i whispered before pulling her onto my lips.

she kissed me hard, feeling up my sides. "i fucking love you." i whispered against her lips and she moaned, running her fingers through my curly hair. "i love you too."

after we made out, billie stood up, offering me a hand. we made popcorn and hot chocolate, settling down on the couch to watch a movie. after hiding in her shoulder for about half of the movie, we ended up talking about random shit like we usually do.

"i mean... i don't know. if there were aliens, they'd totally be in the ocean." she said and i nodded. "agreed. but i feel like they wouldn't fuck with us anyways." i said and billie laughed. "we're like the black sheep of the universe." i laughed with her.

our laugh was cut short by my phone buzzing on my lap. it was from a random number. "hello?" i asked and a professional voice answered. "hello, is this ameera jackson?" "yes?"

"your mom was in a car accident. you were in her emergency contact." the doctor said and my body shot up. "oh my god, is she okay?" i asked and looked to billie with my jaw dropped. "yes she's awake and in stable condition." she said and i sighed in relief.

"okay im coming, can you give me the name of the hospital?" after ending the call, i got up, telling billie to grab all of our shit. "it's my mom, she's in the hospital. im gonna go start the car." i said and she nodded, not asking a single question.

the ride the to hospital was silent and anxious. "im scared to see her." i said, when i parked the car. billie grabbed my hand, offering a soft smile. "i know dealing with your mom is really intense but i'll be right by your side." she said and i smiled softly.

"okay let's go." as we approached the front desk, the receptionist blew a breathe out of her nose. "she's a character." is all she said about my mom and i couldn't even be offended cause she didn't lie.

but i can't lie that that didn't make me even more anxious to see my mom.

when we arrived at her room, a woman who looked very similar to me stood there, besides my mom.

"who are you?" i asked the girl, and she quirked her eyebrow at me. "who are you?" she retorted and billie stepped from behind me.

"hey, ive met you before." billie pointed at the girl, her eyes scanning over her face. before the girl could respond, my mom spoke up with a cough.

"ameera meet your sister malayah." my mom said.

"sister?" we asked at the same time.

"ma, what do you mean sister?" i asked her and she looked between us, not an ounce of emotion in her eyes. "wow, you two really look alike." is all she said and i slammed my hand against the arm rest of the hospital bed.

"chill, don't hurt her more." my "sister" said and i turned to her, fuming. "you can shut the fuck up." i said before turning back. "explain. now." i demanded and she sighed.

"when your dad and i split, we didn't stop dealing with eachother. remember that year i sent you to live with your grandma?" she asked and i nodded. "yeah... i was having malayah. she's been with your dad this entire time." she said with a shrug.
