Nothing is worse than seeing your mama cried she don't know that I know all I know she been crying lot lately when she found out about her homegirl Tiffany died
I don't know how close she is too her but she been not her self
She been drinking and laying in bed staying up all night
Buying bunch of stuff on Amazon
Let me explain Jeremiah is my father he was kingpin he was one of top drug dealer in the game
If you on the street you know about him easily
My father everyday is good man to the streets from what I heard he's like his father he don't do good to woman I know he got 3 babies mom alieena Lattie and my mother Simone
So I have brother and sister they all are half my siblings is way younger than me im oldest
Alieena doesn't get along with my mother but she always asking my mom to watch my siblings
She like hell no
She always be mad that alieena is engaged to my father
But men don't care about nothing they take whenever they want especially if you got kid struck with them I say that
Because my father whenever alieena and him is at it he's over here
They all knew eachother since high school
I was sitting in the kitchen
Shaking my head eating my cereal making bacons and eggs
Weed can make you hungry
I was listening to my father speak to my mother
The way they talk you think they was in love or brothers and sisters
Whenever my mom says she needs something or something he's over here
Except they fight a lot which why I understand why they never be together again
Sup son my father said
Watching me eat eggs and bacon then the cereal all one bite
You got a tape worm he said
I told you he's growing he be eating all the crap out this house he's going to be fat like king
Leaving it to black parents to give you love with toughness or words that raw never easy to ears
I'm hungry I said I didn't eat last night
Who's fault is that my mom said
It's okay son my dad said you gotta grow
I'm trying to get hell out this house I said
Nah you don't gotta do all that it's weed making you like that
My dad said as he was making him the rest of bacon and eggs I made with sausage and potatoes
Well at least you can cook like your old man as well uncles
Nah I'll just be bored I said but smiling that my dad recognizes I can cook
So where your report card
That's all comes down too
Simone princess and Tiffany lived normally life in the hood
See my dad doesn't play when it comes down to grade he buy you whatever you want except if you failed and he saw your report card he punched you in the face without warning my mom showes him the report card and next thing he punched me no he's not abusive he's has very short temper very aggressive behavior towards people
I didn't see it coming I kind felt portrayed by my mom because she knows how he is
I didn't cry I started blanked it hurted like hell
I just went on as my father talked to my mom why my grades is poor F in all my subjects except for math and gym
My mom in the living room talking about things be hard lately for us and that all I'm being doing is eating and sleeping and smoking weed basically no notation
Thing get quiet around here I barely speak words to my mom when dads not around but I learn everyone considers me a bad child
I always into fights at school or at principal office
For being class clown or not listening to the teachers and disrespectful in class or disturbing the class with my outbursts
I'm kid with the mix up anger issues I kicked out of school at least once a month
My dad read the letter my teacher send my parents
I don't like talking
Son my father get your shit and you coming with me for few weeks
My mom said at least he's good at math science and gym
Bullshit Simone how long you knew he was like this
It's not my fault you always busy she said you either out In the streets or your fiancé and doing shit with your family
When it comes down to my child your supposed to call me
I don't care if is 2am 1pm or afternoon he's my child... now he's running around like a chicken head
Son

I'll stil in the kitchen did I say I was hard headed my father snatched the bowl from me and tossed it in the sink
Go pack some things and do what I said
No i shouted im not leaving my mom
See the things about living in too houses I hate picking and choosing who I'm supposed to be with
My dad knows how iam with my mom
I'm not worried about your mom I'm worried about you your my responsibility not her
I told you she said he's only acting out because your not around
I went to my room started packing
My father came in
I know things haven't been easy with your mother and I just because I'm not around as much it doesn't mean I don't love you
Bullshit I said you only love yourself you go weeks and months without seeing me ... you only care about Aaliyah and Adonis
I had a tear come out i quickly wiped away
Yeah but you see me on Saturdays
I can't go over what your mother wants me to do
It's isn't enough you being a shitty father I said I know I'm speaking out of terms but how else he going to know my pain
He hugged me just get your stuff meet me in the car
He left out the room
My head still spinning
I believe I took about 45 minutes my mom was standing in front of dad car he gave her some money
My father paid for rent just because he's rich he doesn't pay for everything my mother paid for her phone cable national grid wifi and food ... he paid for my phone clothes and school supplies doctors appointments
But he's always busy
Like always
I don't even know how he got finance
Maybe because alieena takes care of household
So at my dads house alieena who in theory be my step mom her brother who my age and her son and Aaliyah be at my dads house
Well that not true all my family be there except on holidays and vacations we be at auntie Portia house
My mom kissed my dad on his cheek I climbed on the passenger side she try to give me a kiss but I forced away my dad slapped me give your mom a goodbye kiss stop playing around
I forced it
He's your son she said he acts just like you
No my father corrected her I was the affectionate one especially to females Javon on the other hand wasn't
Pleased she said he still your child you see that if you was around more
Can we just go I said
Alright son see you in few days
Cool bye mom
Then dad drove off playing the radio I feel the sun beaming down on me and wind from dad driving
It was hot day
Dad was still holding all my school papers in his hand while he driving with other one he had on his ray bans on
Dad do you be fucking mom or do you be messing with her feelings
I was asking honest questions and opinions there a reason I ask
I wasn't sure how to take about them being separated
He spited out the window hitted the brack harder coming on the high way
He could told me to mind my business or something like that instead he said
You know you're grounded with your grades and you asking me grown questions ... !
But fell alienated because he didn't know what exactly to say that be good to say
But I'm be honest with you if it helps you and your feelings or behavior
I ask because he picked her up from the club and she was drunk she was sick as a dog and he had her at the hotel
The hotel I said
Oh he said we didn't do nothing she was kicked out the club she was a mess like vomit all over her she even pee in the brushes the club manager knows me so he told me to get her so I did ..I can't take her to my house because alieena and her fight to much so he choked on his words I just stood there the night with her talking about Tiffany .... You remember Tiffany right
Yeah somewhat not a lot
What happened to your other houses
I asked
He said he stole it he thought if he did lot of people will stop coming over but he wants me to come with him to look at another house he thinking of buying
He saying she can move there but her dogs going to have to go
I laughed mom loves her tiny dogs she never getting rid of that
Cree got into the car with aliayah
Cree has her during the week but Jeremiah gets her for the weekend that how the mother wants it because in theory she pays Cree to watch her and because she knows what dad does for a living
Lonnie works for government and Cree just smooches off her so that set up works for him he's like her nanny Aliyah at night during the week goes home between flights her mama is rich because Jeremiah didn't like the original nanny Cree got hired too that his niece so he don't mind plus he get pays ... I'll be wondering what Aliyah mom does for living they say she music producer she a music manager
Hey pumpkin my dad said
Daddy Aliyah said
I'm exhausted Cree said putting on his seat belt on while Jeremiah seats his daughter into the car seat he kissed her how's my pretty girl doing you so cute today
I know ewww daddy she wiped his kids off from her cheek it's wet
See I I said I'm. Not only one
I climbed in the back where my sister was and Cree went to the front
It's a respect thing
Dad gave him my papers see this
Omg I guess I'm be the talk of the whole car ride
My dad sure like to gossip about everything
Cree turn around looked at me
I give you A plus for pasting all the hard courses but F in history English and Spanish are you okay those ones was easy
Not really
It wasn't the school of grades
He's probably bored in school Cree said
I don't care my father said he wants PlayStation and air Jordans and to to the trip to Puerto Rico but can't get good grades isn't going to work for him
