📍Los Angeles, California
Essence POV
"We outside Essy" my stepmom Lauren says into the phone as I answer her call. After my dad passed Lauren still made an effort to be in my life presently. She decided to come get me for a couple of weeks because my aunt is always out working and my sister went to her mom's house for the last couple weeks of summer so I've mostly been alone. Which isn't very good for my mental and Lauren knows that so i'm spending the last couple weeks of summer with her and my baby brothers.
"Okay i'm coming" I tell her hanging up. I get all my bags and go outside to the car. I put my bags in the trunk and get in the front seat.
"Heyy yall" I tell them once I get in.
"Essyyy" Kross yells laughing.
"Wassup sis" Kameron says. Even though we weren't blood, we grew up as siblings so that's still my little brother no matter what. He's only a year younger than me.
"Hey babygirl" Lauren says. We then conversate as we drive to her Beverly Hills mansion which is about 15 minutes away but of course LA traffic doubles it and makes it 30.
When we pull up to the house I get my bags and immediately go up to my room here. It's the same as I remember it. There's only one bed in here because Emani never comes over. She's not as close to Lauren anymore given that she's mostly with her mother. But they still love eachother the same nonetheless.
"Essence come eat" Lauren yells from the kitchen as I was in the middle of straightening my hair. I go downstairs and sit at the table where my plate is.
"Ouu you cooked shrimp alfredo i'm so hungry" I say sitting down and saying grace.
"When's the last time you ate Essence" Lauren asks me.
"Like yesterday morning" I say forgetting who I was talking to.
"What the fuck Essy you can't be skipping meals like that. It's 8pm and you telling me you ain't ate nothing in over 24 hours. You had practice this afternoon too so you were practicing on an empty stomach?? That's not healthy" Lauren says to me.
"I know I just forget. But i've been working on it" I tell her, I really have.
"It's okay. While you're over here we're gonna get you in the habit of eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It doesn't have to be a lot but you need to be putting something on your stomach at least 3 times a day. Especially since you're training so hard in basketball" she tells me.
"Okay" I say as we all eat. After eating I go back upstairs to finish my hair. When i'm done straightening it I make a tiktok and post it.
