"Ana, you don't have to stay with me." My mom told me as laid up under her in her hospital bed and we watched TV.
"Where else would I go?" I asked and she stayed quiet.
Yeah because I lost all my friends lol.
"What's on your mind, baby?" She questioned, pushing some of my hair out of my face as I laid against her side.
Before I could answer, she started coughing and that small cough turned into a big coughing fit.
I sat up quickly and patted her back as I helped her. It sounded painful and real dry and I got kind of nervous.
She calmed down and I just watched her face as she grabbed her water and basically drunk the whole thing.
"Mommy, are you okay? You've been coughing a lot more lately and looking real tired." I frowned, thinking her condition was getting worse.
"I'm okay, Ana. It's just a bad cough." She reassured me, fixing her breathing tube as I just kept watching her.
She laid back comfortable while I kept watching to make sure she was okay. She noticed me staring and sucked her teeth.
"Lay down, Lo." She opened her arm and I sighed, laying back up under her. "Now, what you wanted to tell me?"
"Um...my momma thinks it would be better if I went to stay with her brother in North Carolina for a while. She thinks it's too much going on and I'm too stressed to stay here." I explained as she listened intently and smoothed my hair down.
My mom was quiet for a moment and I knew she was thinking hard about it.
Truth be told, I didn't want to leave my mom. I had a bad feeling about leaving her but I genuinely think I needed to get out of that house for a while.
"What you wanna do?" She asked me and I paused.
"I think I should go. I don't like the feeling of not being comfortable in my own home because I don't know who might be there." I explained, feeling good that I was able to talk this out with my mom.
"Do what you want, Ana. You don't have to stay here because of me. You aren't with me the whole day and I'm not a big enough reason to stay if it's hurting you, Lo. I would let you stay the night but them nurses be tripping for no damn reason."
As my mom was talking, I was taking everything she was saying into careful consideration.
I really didn't want to leave my mom but she was right.
I'm not with the whole day and I'm either at my dads house or holed up in my room.
"Go, Melody. How long she wanted you to stay?" She asked and I thought about it.
"I think she said a few weeks."
"Well, go. I don't want to hold you back, baby. Come back when you ready." She told me and I sighed, taking in her words.
