I waited impatiently for my mom to pick up the phone. She picked up on the third ring before I immediately spoke.
"How far is this event, like where are we going?" I asked her before putting the phone on speaker
"It's a hour away"
"Why the fuck you didn't tell me?" I asked before Flau'jae tapped me from the passenger seat indicating for me to watch my mouth
"Watch who you talking to because we can pull over" she said causing me to hum because I don't care about all that
"I'm already pulled over cause was Au'jaeuh screaming like somebody tryna kill her. If you would've told me that I wouldn't of came, damn"
"Bae that's your momma stop, for real" Flau'jae said while holding Jaeuh
"I don't care, she should've told me it was that far. We're not even following you anymore"
"When I see you I'm slapping the taste out your mouth, period" she hung up before I groaned angrily
I can't control my emotions right now
"Call her back and let me talk to her" Flau'jae instructed before I put the car in reverse, "If you move this car and Jaeuh in my lap — stop"
I put the car back in park before calling my mom again. I'm really just ready to go back home, I don't care about the event
"What?" she answered in a stern voice
"Don't hang up in my — " I got cut off by Flau'jae taking the phone from me
She started talking to her as I just sat there listening. All she wanna do is be a peacemaker and I wanna flip shit.
I pulled over at a gas station because I'm so irritated. My mom convinced me to come with her to some event.
It's safe to say that I'm regretting saying yes.
Au'jaeuh wouldn't stop hollering, so I'm over the car ride. It's absolutely nothing wrong with her, so her screaming is causing me to get worked up.
Flau'jae ended up going back to the backseat with Au'jaeuh. I put the location in the gps before we pulled off.
A few minutes passed by before Au'jaeuh started crying again. I'm starting to think she don't wanna go to the event either.
We finally made it before getting out and going in. It's too many people here, and I fear for my baby's health.
We won't be here for long
"Why the hell do I see family?" I asked out loud before getting gently pulled back
"Chill the fuck out" Flau'jae whispered in my ear sending chills down my back
I instantly straightened up because she's not playing. If I do or say something else out the way, she's gonna be on my back.
"Okay" I said before turning and seeing my mom
She signaled for me to come to her and honestly I hesitated. My heart is in my ass — actually it's pass my ass.
I made my way over to her feeling the palms of my hands get sweaty.
"Before I hit you, I wanna know what's your problem?"
"Don't touch me" I said before she gave me a look
"Angel I'm really tryna be patient, but it's that mouth. Who you think you be talking to?"
