Living With Mindless Behavior

Chapter 4

After they lifted their caskets down at the grave sight I wanted to stay back to watch the whole process of filling it in. I looked up at the pinkish blue sky watching the birds fly by. I wonder do birds feel the same emotions we feel when they lose people special to them..

"Hey"

I turned around facing a brown skin mid aged lady a little taller than me. Must be apart of dad's family because I see the resemblance.

"Hi" I said

"You may not remember me, I'm your aunt Janice"

Mmcht so much for a aunt who didn't want me..

"No I don't" I said looking over her shoulder at Ms. Tina who was talking to a few other of my "family" members. Kayla was in the car since she wanted to take a nap. I looked back at her as she smiled at me. I scrunched my face up and turned away.

"Sorry I-"

"There's nothing to be sorry about" I said cutting her off. Was it rude of me? Yeah but I didn't care at the moment.

"You look beautiful" She smiled

"Thanks"

"

"Well I don't want to bother you any more today I know you're taking it tough... here take my number and call me anytime" She said pulling out a piece of paper from her purse, writing her number down. She folded the paper and handed it to me. I took it, she waved then walked off towards a group of people looked like her children & husband.

"Tiana! Come on it's getting late honey"

I brought my attention to Ms. Tina as she stood beside the car. I sighed, turned around and started walking towards the car. I opened the door to the backseat and got in. As we pulled out the dusty roadway I twiddled with the piece of paper.

"Aunt?" asked Ms. Tina

"Yup" I said

"Your parents looked stunning" Kayla's mom said before turning the radio up a bit. I nodded frowning as tears started streaming down my face. Ms. Tina reached her hand out and rubbed my leg. "I know baby"

After riding for 20 minutes when we finally got the house it was kind of dark out. Ms. Tina placed the car in park and turned the car off. I got out and started making my way up the sidewalk. Kayla and her mom was behind me. I walked up and stood aside to let Ms.Tina open the door. She unlocked the door stepping in and out the way so Kayla & I can come in. I walked in and sat down on the living room couch. Ms. Tina's phone started to ring, she reached in her purse and pulled it out answering the call, she walked out the living room and down the hall.

Kayla slipped off her shoes and flopped down onto the couch beside me. "You hungry?"

I looked at her and shook my head. "No not really"

She shook her head and made her way into the kitchen to fix her something to eat. I took my flats off, stood up holding my flats in my hand and made my way into the room. I sat the flats beside the bed, I got my blanket out the closet and threw it on the bed. While I was in the closet I grabbed a shirt and sweats out the tote. I changed clothes, putting my dress in the hamper. I spreader my blanket out and got underneath. I wasn't really sleepy, but I felt tired.

As I was laying down Kayla came in and flopped on the bed holding her phone in her hand. "Hold up Dre I will call you back in a couple minutes"

She kissed her phone, laughed then hung up her phone bringing her attention to me.

"Girl guess what"

I lifted up a bit and faced her. "What"

"Don't freak out"

I looked at her confused because... "What" I blurted out.

"Mindless Behavior is coming to the LR Center for a concert the 12th"

I was a fan of MB and attending this concert would be everything right about now. Thinking about the concert brought a huge smile on my face until I realized..

"I can't go.. I don't no money"

Because of course I always got money from my parents and since they not around..

"Money?" Kayla laughed "I can get some from my ma you know she'll give it to us"

"You sure"

"Watch this!"

Kayla got up and walked out her room. She came back in holding a credit card in a hand.

"Bam" She said showing me her mom's credit card "Let's order these tickets sista"

Kayla grabbed her laptop then sat beside me on the bed. She went to the LR Center official site to buy the tickets.

As I sat there my mind began to wonder off. I wonder who my uncle is, I knew all of my dad's brothers and my mom only had sisters.... well I thought she did. Why would I go stay with someone I don't know, he might be crazy...

"All done 2 tickets to see MB this Saturday"

I smiled. Kayla jumped up and broke out into a dance, I laughed. She pulled on my arm for me to join her, I shook my head.

"Nooo you know I hate dancing" I said

"Come on T happy dance with me" She whined still dancing

I smacked my lips then hopped out of bed joining in. We spun each other around then broke loose started doing our own thing. After a while we both fell back onto her bed staring at the ceiling, laughing hysterically.

"You gotta learn how to dance T fr" Kayla laughed

"Don't try to play me" I laughed "I got some groove"

We both laughed historically. After our laughter died down the room got silent. I looked at Kayla as she stared at the ceiling, I smiled then looked back up at the ceiling.

"I don't want to leave you KayKay" I said

"I don't want you to leave either"

I sniffled as tears started to form in my eyes. I felt Kayla turn her attention to me. She wrapped her arms around me and started crying. I was in tears as well. We cried til we couldn't no more and eventually started dozing off on each other.
