Cry For You // D.Swing

Chapter 15

PROM (pt 2)

Nomi Hart✨

I stood there watching as my father screamed all kinds of curse words and slurs at the woman whom I thought was dead. I swear it felt like the world stopped as confusion took over every inch of my body. I examined her, tears cascading from her big grey eyes down her clear glowing face as she yelled back

Her long curly chocolate brown hair was now cut into a straighten bob, her once slender face was now full and plump looking as though she had a clean bill of health, but fit as ever. She was beautiful...

I didn't say anything but I did move slightly closer, I guess my dad saw me from the corner of his eye because he turned to me and his screaming came to a halt causing my mom to turn her head and finally notice I was there. Her mouth fell agape as her eyes fell upon me

"Nomi....my baby you look so beautiful, just like me" she stated and the tears were coming down even harder, I just kept quiet admiring her from afar. I was conflicted on how to feel right now

"Just like you my ass Gineva, she looks like m—wait a minute what the fuck! How about you explain to her what the fuck you're doing in my kitchen" my dad yelled and she let out a sigh

"Marcellus would you just hush it! Let me talk to my daughter" she yelled back and my my dad mumbled something under his breath before she spoke again "Honey, just know that I-I-I never mean to hurt you ok?" My dad scoffed "Bitch please, Nomi your weird ass mom faked her death just to get back at me...how about that! And her trifling ass momma was in on it"

"Marcellus stop fucking talking about my mom!" She snapped "TRIFLING. ASS. MOMMA!!!" He yelled between clapping his hands together before he drank whatever was in his cup "that's why you're family doesn't fucking like you, scamming ass hoe"

She was getting ready to say something to him but ended up shaking her head and waved him off as she turned her attention back to me "look...I was upset when your father took you guys away a-"
Her little story was cut off by my dad jumping in "Took them away?!?!? You tried to give my fucking son drugs and you put your hands on my daughter, you damn right I took them muthafuckas and bounced...what the fuck!!!"

"They're my fucking kids Marcellus you can't just take them I don't give a shit about anything you're saying right now and what about all the bullshit you put me through" my dad gave a dark chuckle before speaking "you never give a shit about what I'm saying Gineva, you only give a shit about yourself and damn what I did to you, that doesn't even compare to the fuck shit you've done"

I guess that triggered her because she walked closer to him and the arguing continued, this was bound to get physical at some point and I didn't really want to be around for it

In the midst of all this I glanced over to see a boy who was standing up against the wall with a glass of alcohol himself. I don't know how I didn't notice him at first but oddly enough he looked like an older version of Ryan....

Once he caught me staring at him he flashed a weak half smile and gave me a little hand wave. I unintentionally ignored him and shifted my attention back over to my parents "you know what, I'm not doing this with you, not tonight" she sighed

"You're already doing it!" He took another sip from his cup and she rolled her eyes before making her way back to me "as I was saying, I didn't mean to hurt you honey, I was just mad at your father and I wanted him to feel the pain I felt when he left me in hopes that he would come back to me. You and Ryan were just collateral damage"

She could not be this damn shallow....

She was always saying out of pocket shit to my face and then wondering why the hell I couldn't stand her, but calling me and my little brother collateral damage after she flipped our worlds upside down and caused Ryan to have to go to therapy was a different kind of low. Unfortunately she was right, Ryan and I are and have always been collateral damage in their relationship
