I arrived home with some leftovers from McDonald's. My brothers jumped up from the couch.

"Aye you guys I bout back some food, it isn't much but its something" I said

I placed the food on the table and let them eat. The house was unusually quiet. No vomiting from drinking to much. No coughing from smoking to much no loud music. Just complete silence.

" where's mom?" I asked Cameron since he's the only one that really talks.

"She said she'll be back later, but she took some really big bags with her" he said while continuing to eat.

My eyes widened.

I ran to her bed room to find it empty. All her clothing, drugs, and bed sheets were gone. She was gone. I sunk down to the floor crying. I couldn't raise these two kids. Im a damn Kid myself what I look like being a mom at sixteen. I pulled myself together before my brothers saw me.

I went back into the living room to watch tv. Its wasn't any professional cable it was just bootlegged from the neighbors.

"Moms not coming back is she?" said Cory

I turned to him, he never really talks so when he does it amazes me.

" shes coming back, I hope" I said as I went over to them and hugged both of my little brothers.

I was on my own now and there was nothing I could do about it. But I got them like they were the children I carried in my womb. They don't have to worry cause we gonna get through it with or without our bitch ass mother.

I let my brothers continue eating before I went off into the kitchen. There wasn't shit in the fridge, freezer or cabinets. This little bit of food wouldn't keep the boy's full for long so I had to make a serious decision.

I was gonna have to steal

I went back and sat next to the boys at the table to tell them what I was gonna do.

"I know this won't keep y'all full for long so I'm gonna have to steal from the store" I said

"No you can't, you can go to jail" said Cameron

"I know and I promise I'll be careful okay?" They both nodded.

I then went to my room to get my black backpack so I could put the food in it. I took all the useless stuff out the back pack then placed it on my back.

I walked back in the living and to the front door.

"I'll be back okay, I love y'all" I told them

"Love you too" they said at the same time.

I opened the door and walked out. I was taking the biggest risk of my life but it was worth it, for my brothers

I decided to go home to see my sisters. I ain't seen them in a while and I know they miss me. My mother can go fuck herself though. I arrived at the house and knocked on the door. Mariah opened the door.

"NELLYYYYY!" screamed Mariah

"Heyyyy stank butt" I said while picking her.

"Where your ova sister at" I asked cause she ain't nowhere to be found.

"She went wit mommy to the store" said mariah

I started to get angry did she really just leave Mariah here by herself. Mariah a little ass girl bruh she need to be supervised. I can't even trust my mom wit her own daughters.

"She left you here by yourself?" I asked

Mariah shook her head.

"Nooo daddy's here" she said

Daddy?

I walked in and surely enough sitting on the couch was my father. My blood started to boil, what the fuck is he doing here? Why is he here?, why does he wanna make my life more hell then it already is?

"Hey son" he said

I just stared at him. After 14 years he wants to come back into my life. I don't need him and I don't want him here.

"Why are you here" I said through gritted teeth

"I want to be a family again son, I'm sorr-" he tried to say

"Fuck outta here with that bullshit. The girls ain't even your kids. I don't need you in my life and I don't want you in my life. So you can see your ass out that door" I said while sitting on the couch grabbing the remote.

"Listen here boy, I'm still your father. You won't even let me explain why I left" he said desperately

"The reason why you left is to be wit another bitch who was already near death. She was 20 years older then you. All you wanted was the money you would get from her after she died. You ain't shit and never will be shit" I said angrily

"That's a damn lie and you know it is" he stood up.

"Oh forreal? Then what about that note mom received from you dying wife. Mhm while you were at the fucking strip club tryna get some young ass she was dying by her self. What type of man are you?" I yelled

"THE MAN THAT GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED, LIFE!" He yelled

"I NEEDED A FATHER! I NEEDED SOMEONE TO TEACH ME TO BECOME A MAN. ON THESE STREETS I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THESE FEMALES BECAUSE OF YOU. ITS YOUR FAULT, YOU AINT SHIT" I yelled as a tear threatened to slip from my eyes

Nah I'm not bout to shed a tear over this worthless ass nigga. He don't deserve that shit. I stormed out of the house and down the street to were I could buy a roll up, Walters mini mart.

I needed to get torn up and right now.
