These Damn Kids

Aaliyah back and I'm not thrilled about it. Dre is hype and I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of jealous , because why are you glad this girl is out of prison? Cynsere and Sky has been running  my blood pressure sincere hasn't been listening in coming home from wherever he goes late . Sky is starting to smell her self and talking back she gonna make me fuck her up. It was 10:30 at night and Cynsere came home smelling like weed and alcohol.
" where the fuck have you been and why do you smell like weed and liquor??!" I yelled walking up to him.
"My fault ma I fell asleep at Eric's house."
"Andre! Do you see this boy get up and say something to him." I yelled at Dre who was laying on the couch.
"Cynsere you know you supposed to be home at 9:30 ." Dre yawned.
" damn ma you tripping . When are y'all going to start letting me live got my grades up so what's the problem?" Cynsere said walking up the steps.  I started walking up after Cynsere . He turned around and got in my face. Cynsere was 6'1 and 175 pounds.
"Who you talking to??" I yelled grabbing his arms. Dre got up off the couch and walked up the stairs.  Cynsere pushed me into the wall.
Dre tried to swing on Cynsere but Cynsere picked him up and dropped him. I tried to get Cynsere off of him but he kept punching Dre.
"Cyn stop!" I yelled pulling his arm. Cynsere stood up and grabbed his jacket running down the steps. I helped Dre up and he dusted himself off.
"The fucker feeling bold today! Imma show him who the man." Dre said walking down the steps. I walked down behind him and grabbed his arm.
" Leave him alone , Dre. Let him cool off ." I said
"That boy is out of  control Jania . im ready to do him how my mama did me." Dre said sitting down on the couch
"All these kids are getting out of control. Sky wearing skimpy clothes and Rayne getting into shit." I sighed sitting down.
"You handle Sky . I got that boy. Imma let him pass tonight but imma start fuckin him up Jania . I'm not burying our son." Dre said getting up and walking into the kitchen. I knew how Dre felt . I didn't like the path Cynsere was going down but it ain't like we are setting a good example either. Me and Dre dealing drugs and the constant fighting and shoot outs over the year. I knew it was gonna happen soon enough. He was gonna start rebelling. I kept smoking cigarette after cigarette waiting for Cynsere to come home. Days passed by and still nothing.
"Dre we gonna have to call the cops." I said
"And tell them what ?"
"Tell them that our son is gone Dre!!"
"You call them imma go out and look for him." Dre said.
Dre left out of the house and I called up some of his friends. No one knew where he was at. I called the police and a couple minutes later a officer arrived.
"Hi I'm officer Barrett. I've been told that your son is missing can you give me your name and his information?"
"My name is Jania Maldonado I was born 08/05/1991 My sons name is Cynsere Ashad Maldonado he was born 05/04/2013." I said.
"When did he go missing?
"Wednesday night . Cynsere and my husband had a fight and he left."
"What was the fight over?"
"Him not following the rules. He's been drinking and smoking weed also." I said
"Do you know where he would go?"
"He hangs out with this boy. Eric Johnson."
"Any girlfriends ?"
"None that I know of." A couple minutes later Dre walked in.
"I didn't find him . I want to his friends house just in case. Andre Maldonado. Cynsere's father." Dre said shaking the officers hand.
"I got everything from your wife and I will make a report can I get your information just for records ?" The police officer asked Dre.
"Andre Nathaniel Maldonado. My birthday is 03/12/1976." Andre said.
"I'll keep in touch and call me if he shows up." The police officer said handing me a card then walked out of the house. I sat down on the couch and lit another cigarette. Sky came walking down the steps wearing a tank top and jean shorts.
"Where are you going ?" Dre asked her.
"My friends house." She said grabbing her book bag.
"Not dressed like that to put a short sleeve shirt on."
Sky rolled her eyes and walked back up the steps she came back down with the shirt in her bag. I got a call later that day from a female claiming to be Cynsere's girlfriend.
"Hi Mrs.Maldonado. I am Lisa...Cynsere's girlfriend. He's been staying with me he doesn't want to come back."
"That's fine . Put him on the phone please." I said putting the phone on speaker phone.
"Mom I'm fine I ain't coming back home. School ain't for me."
"Cynsere please don't throw your life away son be smart." Dre said
"Just let me do me. I love you mom."
"I love you more soon." I said hanging up. Jm called the police officer and let him know that he was found. We left sincere to need to do. Now I had to handle sky because the way she's been acting lately has been a readers and I'm so scared for her. One thing that I didn't want for her it was for her to be a teenage mom Lord knows how much my mother struggled with me. I took a shower then took Classyc and Rayne to the park. I haven't been to the park since Cynsere was a baby. I felt sad watching Rayne play.
Where did I go wrong with Cynsere and Sky?
