Just Be A Man About It

6.

Naomi

I was laying in this hospital bed irritated with everything that was going on. Police officers constantly questioning me about what happened, nurses and doctors constantly moving me and making me even more uncomfortable, and the fact that my family was here. They were irritating my soul the most. I glare at Jason and he mouths 'I'm sorry'. To say that I was pissed was an understatement. I'm way beyond that point. My mother and sisters presence just irritated me to the point where I was ready to kill myself.

"Naomi, I can't believe how irresponsible you were. You need to be careful out on these roads and not have your head stuck up in the clouds," my mother said applying her ugly, stale lipstick for the fifth time in ten minutes.

I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the small television on the wall. Jason scoots closer to me.

"I'm sorry Mi-Mi. The hospital called them, and when they found out I was already coming down here, they tagged along. I didn't-"

"Don't worry about it J-Boogie. As long as I have you here to keep me sane, I think I'll be okay."

"So Naomi, where's Malcolm?" My sister, Andrea, asks.

"His name is Malik, and he is at work," I say, rolling my eyes at her.

"Oh, where does he work?"

"Up your ass and around the corner," I mumble.

Jason chuckles a bit, and I smile at him.

"I'm sorry. What?" She asks.

"Nothing. I didn't say anything."

"Naomi, where is Amar?" My mom's husband, Lawrence, asks.

"School," I say, bluntly.

Why can't these people take a hint? I do not want them here. They are fake as hell and need to leave my presence before I lose my patience. The only person I wanted here was Jason. He's the only one that doesn't look down on me like the others do. Lawrence doesn't look down on me, but I don't like him because he inherited three gold diggers and refuses to say no to them.

"So Naomi, why didn't you invite us down here along with Jason? You didn't want to see us?" My other sister, Michelle, asks.

I squint my eyes at her and shake my head. I don't know why this bitch is acting brand new. HELL THE FUCK NO! I didn't want you stuck up ass bastards anywhere near me. I don't like you. You are fake as hell, and I wish you all would take a hint and leave me the fuck alone.

"Nope. I didn't want to see you all. You are the fakest and irritating people I've ever known. I want you all to take a hike and leave me alone. You were never there before, so why are you here now? Please leave before I fucking blow a gasket. I don't want you anywhere around me, my child, my man, or my home. Please leave and never come-"

"Naomi!"

"Huh?"

They were all staring at me.

"I'm sorry. What were we talking about?"

"I asked you a question, and you never answered."
