"How are you putting me out without even giving me a chance to find somewhere to go 1st?" I cried.

"Call your dad. I can't help you sorry." She whispered.

"Really mom? You just met this guy and you already letting him control you? Like where do you expect me to go? And I don't even got my dads number?"

My mom has been single for years. This is her 1st relationship in a long time and now she's acting like a sprung teenager. Her boyfriend moved in 3 days ago and he had it out for me since.

I never talked to him or disrespected him in any way, but he found a way to hate me and make my mom hate me too. And now he managed to get me put out of my own house.

"Veya just go." She looked back and then closed the door.

"I walked down the street with my things crying. This was real fucked up. I haven't talked to or heard from my dad in over a year and that was all because of her. Now she wants me to go live with him?

I sat at the bus stop looking at my phone. I didn't know who I could call 1st. We had no other family here and I didn't want to put any of my friends in my business because they'll eventually talk about me behind my back one day.

It was 1am. I had no one to call and nowhere to sleep. I'm 14 years old and I'm homeless.

I laid down with my head on my bag and closed my eyes. There was so many things going through my head and none of them were good.

My phone beeped indicating I had a text. I was praying it was my mom and she realized she made a mistake and wanted me to come home. But it was someone I loved even better. My sister Niya. We text each other every night before we went to sleep. With all I have going on I forgot all about her.

Niya: Sissy pooh you up

Me: No can't sleep

Niya: Why not

Me: I have nowhere to sleep

C'Niya is my older sister. She's not that much older, just a few months. We have the same dad and share an older sister named K'lani who she share a mom with.

I never thought to go and stay with them because they live in a whole nother state. We barely see each other but we talk everyday. I know if I lived closed they would take me in with no hesitation.

Niya: What do you mean you have nowhere to sleep? I'm calling.

The moment I finished reading that text she was calling. I didn't want to answer because I didn't want her to hear me cry.

"Hey."

"So what do you mean? Is your bed gone or something?"

"No my house is gone. My mom put me out." Tears started to fall.

"You lying right? Why the hell would she do that?"

"Because her new boyfriend doesn't want me there. I don't know what I'm going to do Niy. I don't have anywhere to go."

"Yes you do hold on."

I waited while I listened to her wake up and tell her mom what was going on with me. Her mom is the sweetest person I know. She got on the phone and asked me what happened and after I told her she asked where I was.

I was so thankful that I know them right now. I wasn't even expecting this but her and her husband got out of bed despite the fact they had work in the morning and took a 4 hour drive just to pick me up.
