i woke about 30 minutes ago i brushed and cleaned my face. now i'm walking downstairs in my pjs my hairs not even fixed i'm about to get clowned by my family🙄. today darian is getting all his stuff out because he starts college tomorrow officially and it's sad. i'm gonna miss him so much he was my bestie during all that bronny shit now he's leaving me😕. i get downstairs and i see d and my dad and bronny at the door it's open and i see a lot of bags. my mom is in the kitchen. she notices me first.
"good god honey we really need to get you some hairspray" mom says
i look at her and smack my lips, "mom don't start with me today i'm sad" i say as i walk into the kitchen with her.
mom laughs a little, "i'm just joking. what are you sad about?" mom says
i raise my eyebrows and sigh, "jules i'm worried for her" i say
i grab my plate and have a seat at the counter so i can speak to her directly, "... i love jules but i don't think she's safe to be around and i don't want you getting hurt because of her.. for the 6th time let's be honest here." mom says
she is right but i still love jules and i'll pick her any day, "you're right but i love her too much to not wanna put her first and look out for her.. i know her differently than others she's super sweet." i say gently
my mom looks touched, "i understand that type of love sweetie i know that love is hard to let go of i don't want you to leave her but i don't want you spending too much time with her anymore because she's dangerous i can't have you getting hurt or die because of her and her actions." mom says
i look her dead in the eye, "mom she's not involved in the gang it's her cousin who is they know her because of him and the gang targeted her because she's family to victor since he's not around much. jules isn't a leader or a member of the gang." i say
"she does gun violence jayden she shot at your friend, threatened to shoot katie watson, and drives around with a gun in her car. what if one day you make her so mad she threatens to kill you?" mom says
i scrunch my eyebrows, "she would never do that she'll yell at me but she'll never put her hands on me or let alone threaten my life" i say
my mom raises one eyebrow, "you don't know what she could do in the future plus she relapsed" mom says
"because of how hard her mom was being on her ever single time jules relapsed was because of her mommy issues.. she has done drugs because of me too but mostly her mom.. she came to my game friday drunk because of how hurt she was about hurting me." i say
my mom shook her head, "see she needs to learn that drugs aren't the answer to happiness there's way better decisions she can make to make her feel better about things that bother her... i just want you to be distant from her please for your safety and for me and your father's sake." mom says
i stay quiet. i start eating, "jayde!" d shouts
nearly made me drop my fork, "what?!" i shout
i get up and walk over to the door. they're outside so i walk to the porch and see them loading bags in d's car. i even saw katie with him.
when d saw me he stops his conversation which must have been good with that smile on his face as he jogged up to me, "did you open your stanford mail?" d asks
i shake my head. his smile fades, "what? go open it i wanna know before i leave" d says
i rub the back of my neck, "i'm scared to see i mean i've gotten tons of emails and acceptances in other colleges but stanford is-" i say
