gianna🦋.

i slowly sat up and rubbed my forehead. i looked at the time and it super blurry but i could tell it was 2-3:oo in the morning. i slowly got up and went to my moms room.

"mommy" i whispered as i lightly shook her.

"mommy" i said again. she started to stir from her sleep.

"what's wrong baby ? you do realize it's 2 a.m. right ?" my mom asked in her sleepy voice.

"ik but my head is hurting so bad. everything is blurry and im super dizzy" i said. she sat up and held her arms out for me.

i got into bed and laid my head on her chest.

"did i give you a pill before you went to bed last night ? tbh i can't remember if i did or not" she said.

"mhm" i mumbled. i could feel her lightly rub my temples. it felt so good and ik i was gone be sleep in know time.

"mommy ?"

"mhm" she mumbled.

"did people always look at you funny cus you have a black kid ?" i asked.

"yes. all the time. when you were born would say stuff like maybe they gave you the wrong baby and they can't be your kid because she has black people hair so" she said.

"and i do remember one time when you were 9 i took you to the mall & someone thought i kidnapped you cus you were black." she said.

"your so strong mommy. ik it must be so hard watching your daughter be stereotyped" i said.

"thank you baby but it was. i held in my emotions but when you would take naps i would just break down. and nb knew that but jackie" she said.

"well tomorrow can you at least show me what my dad looks like.. tell me about him" i asked.

"gianna.. i don't wanna hide that stuff from you because you deserve to know but when you find out it's only gonna make you wanna reach out to him and hopes that he'll come back"

"and he's only gonna break your heart baby. that's why i never talk about him."

"yk im not gonna hide him forever my love just until your attachment to him goes away. i want you to have that mindset that you don't need him for nothing." she said.

i yawned and felt myself drifting off to sleep. i wrapped my arms around her waist.

"gts baby" my mom said.

"night" i mumbled.

"good night".

the next morning i woke up and my mom was out of bed. i went to my room and brushed my teeth and not even gone lie i didn't even try to fix my hair because it's not gonna do right anyway.

i walked downstairs and into the kitchen where i saw my mom and aunt.. the normal routine.

"morning sleepy head" my mom said.

"morning mommy, morning tete" i said.

"morning pretty" aunt jackie said.

"i just love when you come downstairs with your hair everywhere and we can tell you just woke up" my mom said making me giggle.

"so i have practice in a hour so hurry up and eat" my mom said and i nodded.

"so princess.. how's your head ? kels told me" aunt jackie asked.

"it's better. i think the comfort of my mom really helped" i said and she smiled.

"clingy ahh" my mom said making me giggle.

"so mommy are you really practicing or just going because last time i checked you have an ankle injury and you don't supposed to be playing miss ma'am" i said making my mom and auntie look at each other.

"okay first of all not you tryna be my mom. and second of all it was only a little tweak im good to go honey" she said laughing.

"ohh but i have a slight concussion but i can't practice" i said.

"gianna that's not a slight concussion. the doctor literally said if you fell any harder it could've caused bleeding to your brain and lead to brain damage" my mom said.

"right yours is 10x more serious & dangerous" aunt jackie said.

"well, it was worth a try" i said making them laugh.

"so are you good to go with me or do i need to let becky know ?" my mom asked.

"oh no ma'am, im good" i said.

"nah cus she really clocked yo tea" tiff said making me laugh.

"ehh she did aight" i said.

"okay come on" i said holding my hand out for her. i took her to the conference room and handed her her ipad and headphones.

i put the blanket over her & kissed her forehead.

"okay i will be back in 15 minutes to check on you" i said.

"okay i hope you have a good practice mommy" gigi said.

"thank you baby" i said walking towards the door. i walked back to the locker room and the team was just talking about random things.

"girl look what toosii texted me" jack said showing me her phone.

"good morning beautiful ? lol he want you boo" i said laughing.

"he does not but yk toosii a flirt anyways so" jackie said making me roll her eyes. she's so oblivious and it's ridiculous.

"jackie your so oblivious to the obvious girl. that man want you. why else he text you ? EVERYDAY ? cus beautiful, mama, ma, bae that's not normal for just your "homeboy" i said.

"yeah yeah" jackie said laughing.

"so you don't like him ?" i asked.

"it's not that it's just.. his bm. i don't wanna be in the middle of that fr and i don't wanna ruin anything between them" she said.

"okay HE'S the one texting you that so maybe he's trying to tell you he's single. right ?" i said.

"yeah i guess so" she said.

we walked onto the court and started stretching. "not gigi tryna check you about your ankle" jackie said.

"no fr.. like you heard her right ?" i said laughing as i shook my head.

"i love how she loves you sm and care about you tho" she said.

"me too and she knows it's vice versa" i said.
