Chicago, Illinois"Lo get up, we gotta be at the church by 10"
Today was my grannie's funeral and I wasn't prepared to say goodbye.
She always has been the best friend I never had and knowing she's no longer with me is sickening.
I dreaded getting up; I just wanted to sleep the day away.
Booka knocks again and this time I get up , opening the door ajar.
"Lo I know this hard for you okay? It wasn't her time but you know she would want you to say goodbye this last time"
"U right Booka"
We hugged and then I went to the bathroom to shower quickly.
After getting dressed, I quickly did my makeup and I headed downstairs.
Von and the rest of the guys were there , Von eyes fixed on me.
Then I could damn near cry when I seen my mother was downstairs.
"Hi mommy!"
"Hey Lolo, come give me a hug babe"
I hugged my mother and since it was already an emotional day I was going to hold back tears.
I don't know how she got out or when but that's not important.
All of us get into our care driving to the funeral , Booka and I rode together with our mom.
I decided to start conversations with her to lighten the mood.
"When you get out mom?"
"Few weeks ago"
"Oh okay, how you been?"
"I'm good baby, Im working at a Temp Agency for now and guess what?"
"What?"
"I'm staying somewhere until I get on my feet"
I hope it's not with her boyfriend Kris, he was the rest she went to jail in the first place.
"Mama you still fucking with Kris bitch ass?" Booka asked causing mama to pop him in the chest.
"Loyal I'm not one of your lil friends, don't curse in front of me!"
"Mama I'm just saying u damn near missed out on me and Lo life cause you wanted to please his ass. Y'all been together for how long and u ain't got shit to show fa it. No ring, no house , no-"
