Fifty-One: Christmas Eve

The next morning...

Nydera's POV:

Current Time: 8:30 AM

I've been over here for so long that I kinda miss them. I miss hearing CaiCai's mouth and her and Li Billy Bill Bop arguing. I damn sure miss my Juniebears.  This shit is not the same no more. He has been acting weird since the brunch. I can't put my finger on it. He better not be cheating because on my lifeee ill kill him and they won't find his body. I'm not to be fucked with. Shit, I haven't even been to my parent's house. I need to get away from this nigga I'm tired of being in this damn house all the time. Fuck am I doing with my life? I hope that bitch ain't got his attention. The other day he brought me flowers which I thought were very sweet. Then I thought about what Betty Wright said in her song, No Pain (No Gain). Maybe it's because his ass is guilty. Fuck it we ball. I'm taking my black ass home.

Dera grabs her keys and headed for the door. She gets in her car and drives to her parent's house.

1hr 30 minutes she arrives...

| The Lewis Residence|

She knocked on the door and was greeted by her little brother, Noah.

Noah: wassup sis -hugs her- I haven't seen you in forever. What have you been up to?

Dera: Nothing just been chilling with my boyfriend for a while. I missed y'all so I decided to stop by.

Noah: So you drove an hour and a half just to stop by? Dera wassup with you fr.

Dera: I'm fr, I'm fine.

Noah: Okay. Come in -move out the way- MAAAAA DERAAA HERE.

Natalie: Boy what I tell you about yelling in the house? - hugs Dera- Hey my baby girl. How have you been?

Dera: Ma life has been lifeing.

Natalie: Really, is everything good at home? How is Fatima?

Dera: I don't know Mom. I haven't been there in two weeks.

Natalie: NYDERA LEWIS!! What do you mean you haven't been there in two weeks? Where have you been?

Dera: I've been at my boyfriend's house.

Natalie: PAULLL bring your ass downstairs and listen to this.

Paul makes his way downstairs.

Paul: Yes love. -sees Dera- Hey Sweet Pea. I've missed you.

Dera: Hey Daddy. -hugs him- Imma just say it before mom does.

Paul: Okay, I'm listening.

Dera: Okay so I've been staying at my boyfriend's house for the past two weeks and haven't been home or even checked in with Fatima.

Paul: -sighs- You probably think I'm going to yell at you but I'm not. Sweet Pea you're grown, you can stay at whoever house as long as you are safe. But not checking in with them is wrong. For fuck sake you're their son's godmother. You have responsibilities you can't just abandon them whenever this new guy comes around. They were here way before him. I'm not saying don't make time for him but remember who will always be there for you at the end of the day.

Dera: I hear you, Daddy.

Paul: Okay good -kisses her forehead- Now go say hey to the twins.

Dera: I will.

Dera heads upstairs to the twin's room. She walks in and was greeted by the two youngest.

Dera: Hiii my babies!
