Pt 2

Mahi Curran

"See what I'm tryna figure out is during what part of these events did you end up with a hickey on your neck?" my mother spat and my heart dropped.

Noel and I were so caught up in the moment, I didn't bother to remind her not to leave her mark. I remained silent, frozen in fear of my mother finding out the truth.

"You gon' act like you don't hear me talking to you Mahi?! Unlock your phone. Let me see it." she demanded. My heart was in my ass. I knew if I unlocked my phone, there was no hiding the truth. A photo of Noel and I kissing was my home screen background and if she went through my texts and call log, it would be a wrap. I shook my head refusing as the tears cascaded down my face.

"Mama please no. I-I have things in there you shouldn't see! I'm almost 20 years old and you're trying to go through my phone!" I pleaded, not caring if I woke anyone else in the house up. She just got angrier.

"I PAY THAT GOT DAMN PHONE BILL! I don't give a damn if you were 21! You smelling yourself now huh?! I'm not about to have no disrespectful ass child under my roof! Unlock the phone right now and give it to me Mahi." her voice boomed. By now my father was coming down the stairs.

"What the hell is going on? Why you down here yelling at Mahi Sonya?" He asked confused. I was having a panic attack.

"Your daughter think she grown Mateo! She said she went to the movies with a girl and came back with hickeys all on her neck. Now she's guarding that phone for dear life. I wonder why? She was out being hot in the ass with some fast ass boy and got back after curfew."

"Mahi what the hell is going on? Is that true?!" My Dad asked. I was a Daddy's girl, so the smallest voice raise from him could hurt my feelings.

"Dadd-

"Little girl. I'm not gonna tell you again to give me that phone." my mom cut me off again. I sighed, knowing that there was no way for me to avoid the inevitable.

I pulled out my phone and handed it to her. Snatching me up by my shirt, she held the phone to my face allowing my Face ID to unlock the phone. I silently sobbed as she pushed me away.

"Who the fuck is Noel for real? Cause they calling you babe Mahi?! I thought Noel was a girl." she said. I could feel the stares from both her and my dad.

I took a deep breath, preparing to reveal the secret I'd been keeping for the past decade.

"Noel is m-my girlfriend. I- I'm a lesbian." I admitted. She looked down at my phone, finally noticing my home screen. She took a deep breath before throwing the phone at my chest. She charged at me but my Dad didn't let her make it that far.

"Aye! Sonya you need to calm down!" He yelled as he held her back. I cried, too distraught to move.

"YOU'RE DISGUSTING! She has to get out of my house Mateo! I don't care where she goes but she has to leave!"
