India In The Hustle

Chapter 22

INDIA

   "Warren you being very stupid at this moment. You know that girl is living her life. She hasn't need us in three months going on four and now you want her to come home because you can't trust her. She going back to Atlanta and that's finally so shut up talking about it." My mom said as I looked at her. Never have I seen my mom get this anger like real talk her face was turning red.

   "India I don't want you going back to Atlanta so tell your boss it's off." He said as I rolled my eyes. I am a grown woman.

   "Daddy you can't dictate what I do in my life. I'm going back to Atlanta if you don't like oh well." I said as he looked at me.

   "Alright then. "He said looking away from me turning his attention back to my mom.

   "Candice you gone let her go to Atlanta like this." He said making her roll her eyes.

   "Warren yes she doesn't need us. That's what Odell is for." She said as my dad walked out the room.

   "Mama what was that." I said getting out the bed putting on my clothes. Honestly I never hear my dad talked to my mom like this. I was shocked myself to even think my father talked to her like that.

   "Nothing baby. We just have been disagreeing lately." She said giving me a fake smile as I looked at her. She was lying.

   "You sure." I asked as she nodded her head grabbing her purse.

   "Yeah I'm fine. I'll meet you in the car." She said walking out the room. I knew she wasn't alright. I think she wants to cry. They have been getting in arguments and my dad being yelling at her lately. Did my dad do some to my mom to make her feel this way?

   "Omg this is life right now." I screamed as me and my sister's eating Mary's. It was Black Friday and all my sisters and I were catching the sales.

   "India shut up." Brooke said as I stole some of her macaroni cheese.

   "Then they say you couldn't have this India." Crystal said to me as I rolled my eyes.

   "You see this lemonade. It's healthy for me. I am not eating no damn salad." I said drinking my drink.

   "Little baked bean gone be fat as hell." Bree said as I turned my head to her.

   "Bree don't call my baby that. I don't like beans therefore don't call my baby a bean." I said making everyone laugh but I was serious.

   "Just a mean ass. I pray my little nice or nephew don't have your ways." Brooke said as I told her macaroni. It was really good.

   "Odell is mean too so either way my baby is gone be mean." I said rubbing my belly.

   "Poor baby." Bree said getting up throwing her trash away.

   "So daddy came to the hospital like yesterday demanding that I should leave Atlanta." I told them as Brooke shook her head.

   "Daddy don't want no of us to grow up. That's why I don't deal with him like that." Morgan said crossing her arms.

   "Morgan that's still our father." I reminded her as she let out a chuckled.

   "I understand that India but daddy has a problem. He wants to dictate what he wants us to do. We all are grown women. India you need to stand up to him." She said.

   "Does anybody know what happened between mama and daddy." I asked.

   "All I remember last week mama was crying when I came over and daddy was leaving the house." She said as I nodded my head.
