Ava POV
As I played with Emmy's bellybutton I thought about what that stud said at the party. We would be a beautiful ass couple.
"Why didn't you tell me how you felt" Emmy said playing in my hair
"I don't know I just thought you didn't feel the same way" I said truthfully
"I love you Ava that's not going to change for nothing, I'm just confused right now, I don't know if I want to be with you or Kia I need time to think" she said
I grew sad but I understood why she needed time. No matter who she picks I'm still going to love her.
"I love you" I said as I drifted to sleep
Kia POV
I walked in the house from the mall tired. I put down my bags and went to check on my mama. I opened the door and she was in bed sleep. I looked at the time and it was a good time to feed her.
"Mama is time for dinner" I said shaking her
She didn't move. My heart started to pound.
"Mama wake up" I screamed and cried shaking her
Still she didn't move. I turned her over and put my fingers under her nose. She wasn't breathing. I cried harder. My mama was dead and I wasn't with her when she took her last breath. I wasn't ready for her to die. I called 911 and told them what happened. The morgue people came and took her. I called Emmy.
"Hello" her raspy voice said
"She gone" I cried
"Oh my god, I'm on my way" she said hanging up
Within 10 minutes she was over here holding me while I cried. She held me all night. I was so grateful for her. I'm so upset that she didn't get to meet my moms. Mama would've loved her.
I woke up the next morning hoping last night was a nightmare but it wasn't. I smelled breakfast so I got up and found Emmy and Tre and GiGi at the table.
"Finally, now can we eat Emmy" Tre said
"Yes you can, want me to make your plate" she smiled
"No I got it" he said getting up
She got up and hugged me. I smelled her sweet peach perfume that made me melt. She broke the hug and handed me a piece of paper with my name on it in my mother's handwriting.
To my dearest Kia, if your reading this then I'm beyond the grave. I love you and your brother and sister so much. I know that your angry and sad right now but I want you to know I'm in the best place I can be right now. Since your 18, no one will be taking you or your brother and sister away and I'm so glad of this. Kia please take care of them and make sure they make something of themselves. Make sure you have everybody where my favorite color at my funeral. Also Kia, tell Emerald how you feel, I know you love her so don't hold back on your feelings. I love you Kia never forget that.
Love, Mom
I looked up with tears in my eyes. My mama was really gone. Emmy held me as I cried hard on her shoulder. She rubbed my back and kissed my head telling me everything was going to be ok.
I looked up and saw GiGi and Tre looking at me all crazy. They wasn't here last night so they don't know our mother is gone.
"Yall sit down I got to tell you something" I said
"What is it" GiGi said looking at me confused
"Now, as yall knew mama was very sick. When I came home from the mall last night I tried to wake her up to eat but she never got up" I spoke looking at them
