Love & War (COMPLETED)

Long Way To Go..

--Mo Mo--

My grandma has been in the hospital for the past week. She was in ICU for 5 days, and they just got her out two days ago. Man this woman is my hero. She's battling cancer and on top of that she almost died on me with something not cancer related. Just crazy in my eyes.

She was speaking and everything but It was breaking my heart seeing her, struggling and not being able to do something. My grandma was a go getter!

Back in the day, she was a well known female gangster. She was born in Jamaica, and when she came to New York, she had to do something's she wasn't proud of. They called her "Queen Eboniie".She was definitely a hustler.

What can I say my grandma was a thug! My grandfather was one of her workers, but after she had my mom and her sister, she quit the game. She's a legend to druglords.

Over 50's daily kills in one night.

Bringing in over 1.5 million every day, and the funny thing was she looked so innocent. My grandfather is not around anymore. He got killed on the job. I never met him but, my grandma hasn't dated anyone after him.

I was sitting beside, my grandma watching Love & Hip Hop when I heard the door open, as heels began to click against the titled hospital flooring. My grandma and I lifted up our heads to see, who was visiting because we weren't expecting anyone.

In came Aunty Renae.

"Renae!" My grandma said, while smiling.

"Mommy! " Renae said while rushing over to my grandmas side, hugging eachother.

My aunt Renae was a very beautiful woman. She was a milk chocolate skin tone, with long hair and a beautiful smile. She was literally Gabrielle Union's twin.

She came over to me smiling, before pulling me into a tight hug.

"You've grown into such a beautiful young woman." She said smiling.

"Aww thanks Aunt Renae."

"No problem sweetie" She got up and gave me a kiss on the cheek before sitting right back beside grandma.

"Mom did you tell her?" Renae questioned, making a confused face onto my face.

..

Tell me what?

I looked at my grandma who held her head down.

"Grandma tell me what?" I finally asked/

"Renae, can you give us a minute please?"

She nodded and left the room.

"Tell me what grandma?"

"Look baby, I need you to stay with Renae for awhile..Im not going to be able to take care of you while, Im still in the hospital. I need to get better baby, and when Im better I'll be coming over there, okay Mo mo ?"

I instantly began to cry.

"WHOSE GOING TO WATCH OVER YOU! GRANDMA I CAN'T LEAVE YOU!" I exclaimed.

"Monica look at me girl, you're a very smart, young , pretty girl, just give me a couple of months..I promise. "

I nodded my head, and she wiped away my tears.

"When am I leaving?"

She looked away.

"Tonight baby."

"Really grandma!" I stood up angered by the short notice.

"Yes really! Renae is going to take you home to pack, and then you have to catch your flight.. "

I stayed with my grandma for a couple of more hours before we said our goodbyes. I was heartbroken. She told me she put some money in my bank account.

When I got home, I started packing my things. I told Lacey to come over, so we could say our final byes.

"Gurl, Ima miss youuuu!" Lacey said crying.

"I know Ima miss you too!"

Lacey, has been my bestfriend since kindergarten and she's my ride or die.

After our long hug, I got in my aunts car, and we drove to the airport.

A couple hours later, our flight was being called.

We stepped onto the plane, and sat down in our seats.

I sighed as I looked out the window..

"Bye Bye New York"..
