Moya's pov

The moment we passed the "welcome to Trelawny" sign I felt all the stress leave my body.

Getting to see my family after not seeing them for so long made me happy plus mi know mommy ago cook so that just add a likkle extra happiness to it.

Nothing like a home cooked meal

Love country bad bad but mi Neva miss the road them pothole fi kill.

*look how yah go mek yuh bad road mash up the man car*

Mi did tell him seh mi nuh wah drive it him lucky.

"Mani a call mi wah mi fi do!?" Yaya screamed from the backseat scaring me a bit

Then suppose the girl did frighten mi and Mek mi crash

"Answer the phone" I simply said.

"Heyyyy brother" she said answering the phone putting it on speaker.

Look how she ago gi wi weh tho Jesus.

"Nay tell yuh fi link mi when unno reach?"

"Wi nuh reach yet" she answered and my eyes widened

*Might God what is wrongggg!!*

Better mi tek the phone from her and do the talking

" four hour from Kingston fi reach ochi and unno still nuh reach yet Aeyana"

Yaya started to stutter not knowing what to say she dropped the phone in my lap.

Well mi mi ever ago rob a bank mi know who nuh fi carry wid mi

"I picked the phone up taking it off speaker before placing it to my ear

"Hello" I said waiting for him to respond.

"Wah yah seh" he responded dryly.

And a opp

"Why yah terrorize yuh sista" I asked

"Just a try figure out how it a tek unno ova four hours fi reach"

"Wi stop and do things on the road then we did go get something fi eat wi reach a ochi just nuh check inna the bnb yet" I lied

God forgive mi

"So why she couldn't tell mi that why she did afi pass the phone gi yuh" he asked

Him nuh believe mi enuh

*cause yuh think the man a fool*

"She know yuh nuh like when she deh pon the road too late so she Neva wah seh nothing"

*you afi guh church wid yuh granny Sunday*

I heard him hiss his teeth before the dial tone rang out in my ear.

Welp what to do.

I handed the phone back to Yaya  just as we were pulling into my yard

"Wah him seh" Jess asked

"Nothing him hang up pon mi" I shrugged putting the car in park.

We all got out of the car and I took a second to stress my legs.

Foot them tired

My cousin Zima was sitting on the wall outside the gate with his friend smoking.
