Next Day
Y/ns POV

I'm currently at lunch with my mom I just got here and I'm waiting at a table just waiting on her.

"Y/n is that you" Taraji says standing behind me

"Hello Taraji" I say pulling out her chair so she can sit down.

"Hey Y/n it's been a long time" Sge says nervously chuckling.

I have Ari and Kiara in another both not too far from our just in case things go wrong or if I need some type of support.

"I know and I'm scared" I say nervously chuckling as well

"Why"

"Because last time I looked you in the face was in court when I refused to go with you" I say thinking about that day and how I felt.

"I know Y/N/N" She says looking at the menu. I already knew what I wanted cause me and my dad use to go to this exact restaurant when I was a child.

"Please don't call me that" I say thinking about how my dad gave me that nickname and how her and her boyfriend used it to make fun of me.

"I'm sorry. How have you been" She says looking away from the menu sending me that beautiful smile.

"Uhm well I just moved back here from Memphis. I fell into the street shit as you know. I make music and it's doing pretty well. I got a of therapy and counseling" I say just taking in how much she's aged since the last time I saw her.

"That's interesting I've missed you so much Y/n " She says her eyes filling with tears.

"Mhmmm" I say sort of feeling bad but not saying the same cause I barely missed her.

"Oh uhm hey Y/n. I'll be your server today can I start you off with something to drink or an appetizer" Tatianna say smiling at my mother.

"I'll have a Sprite" I say smiling at her.

"I'll have a water" my mom says smiling as well.

"Ok I'll have that right out" she says with a smirk.

"Uhm well I don't know what to say" I'm trying to start a conversation but idk how to like how do you talk to a woman that you haven't seen or talked to in over a decade.

"Actually I do know what to say. Why?"  I say skipping past the small talk straight into an explanation.

"Oh uhm I didn't expect you to go into it like that but Baby I was young and was just so lost in life" She says as Tatianna brings the drinks out.

"I don't think that's a good enough reason" I say being honest about how I feel.

"I know and the 100% answer is that I don't know why" She says

"So you were just a horrible mother for no reason?" I say

"I wasn't a bad mother" She says looking at me confused.

"You were a horrible mother, a mother that left her kids for drugs, a mother that chose men over her children, a mom that loved her multiple boyfriends over her kids" I say shrinking back into my chair.
