"Fuck we're late!" , Simone said as she pretty much fell and rolled out of bed.
"India, baby get up ! You have got to go to school" she yelled from across their apartment struggling to put on her pants and brush her teeth at the same time.
It might seem crazy but they were so used to this that you would think that they had it by now after a full year of India being late to pre-k and Simone trying to find a new job to replace the shitty one she had now as a waitress in the dinner that they lived on top of.
"No!" , India screamed at the top of her lungs probably breaking a window or two.
Simone rolled her eyes and ran to her daughters room throwing her over her shoulder and basically forcing her to put her clothes on. "Mommy , no sleepy" she whispered barely enough for her mother to hear but this was so much like deja vu she already knew what she was saying to here, every morning they would wake up late Simone would try give the three year old a juice box and a granola bar after telling her not to spill it in the car to which the three year old would insist that they get McDonalds as if she was paying and her mother would give in just by a look.
India knew she had her wrapped around her small chubby fingers but she wasn't always a push over.
"Put on your seatbelt baby girl" She said slamming the door and putting her red Jeep Compass in drive before the car even fully cut on.

"Mama, seatbelt!"
"I know love safety first." She said rolling her eyes with a smile. She didn't even know why she tried to forget her seatbelt. Her baby girl was more strict then her and the cops combined. She was more of a parent then her own mother and Simone knew it.
"Inside mama! " she yelled as the curly haired woman was pulling in the driveway. "I can't hun I have an interview in 30 minutes." "Insiddddddeee !" The toddler screamed making her mother sigh and reverse the car and trying to stop the her from yelling at the same time.
When.... Smack!!!
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, fuck." She mumbled banging her head on the steering wheel, "Are you okay indie" she cried as she turned around with a quickness almost snatching her out her seat as she held her to her chest
"I'm fine." She muffled
"Oh thank God" the twenty year old girl said letting out the breath she was holding and getting out the car with the small child on her hip rushing behind her car to see the damage.
"Y'all good ?" A deep voice asked Simone looked up to see a tall dark-skinned man who looked about twenty three or twenty four.
"Um. Uh." She stuttered looking him up and down.
"Hello ?" He said slowly waving his hand in her face .
"Huh. Oh shit. I'm so sorry she was screaming and I forgot the car was in reverse and I didn't know my foot was on the gas."
