Clueless

Chapter Nineteen.

"Mom, you're beautiful" I said, admiring how much we look alike. I got my dad's skintone but other than that, my grandma wasn't lying when she said I looked like her.
"Thank you princess. Here, look I grew your favorites" she said, showing me her white roses. "Mom they're beautiful" I said. I'm still in awe at the fact that I'm here, with my mom, in the Garden of Eden. Well her illusion of.
"Oh gosh, I have so many questions for you mom! " I said excitedly. I looked down and realized that I was naked, as well as my mom. My long black hair was covering my breast, as was hers but other than that, we were pretty naked. But surprisingly it wasn't bothering me.
"Ask away baby" she said as we bags walking to another large tree on the other hill. "Well... where are we from?" I asked as I picked a rose and smelled it.
"We're of Panamanian and Trinidadian decent" she answered smiling. "Wait, grandma is Panamanian?  I thought she was only Trini" I asked confused and my mom made a face. "She is. Your- uh- grandfather is Panamanian" she said and I shrugged. As far as I'm concerned I didn't know, or didn't want to know anything about my grandfather. Because my mom's face alone told me that he was bad news 
"How have you been?" I asked. She looked at me, and her smile beamed.
"I've been good. I've been lonely since you stopped talking to me baby. I could listen you all day, I'm always with you. You haven't been visiting me lately" and I automatically felt so happy and really bad. After Grandma died, I used to go visit them both, since their graves were side-by-side. I used to sit down and talk to them and tell tem all about my day, sometimes I brought Faith and even her mom would tag along and we would have a little picnic with them and I spoke to them... I've stopped going for a while, and seeing my condition I don't know if I'll ever get back.
"How's your friends, Faith and Delano?" She asked and I smiled. "You know my friends!?" I asked her, I bit excited.
"Of course, you use to bring them by in high school, Delano is very handsome, if you know what I mean" she winked and I laughed. "Faith is just like her mother... that girl is crazy and outspoken, I'm glad she's your friend Joy. Don't mess that up, okay?" She said and I nodded my head okay.
"Mom, what did you ever see in Troy?" I asked her.
"I loved him... he was suppose to be your protecter,  but even he fucked up at that" she said honestly and I sighed. "He hated me mom. He wanted nothing to do with me. Even after grandma died, he treated me horribly, he be abusing me, hurting me, but then he admired me, I guess because I looked like you" I explained to her. I didn't noticed but now were out the meadow, sitting at the beach. The waves were beautiful, and the breeze felt amazing...

*Jermanie POV*

I put the fan on, putting it on Joy because she felt hot as I stared at my mother.
"What do you mean you have something to tell me?" I looked at her as she fiddled with her fingers,  looking right back at me.
"I'm not suppose to tell you, Jermanie" she spoke as I was feeling a bit upset. What is there to be said?
"So who is suppose to tell me then?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"How do you know Joy, Mom"
Silence filled the air as the only sound being heard was Joy's monitor...

...

"Yeah, your father didn't have much sense. The only good that man did for me was bringing you into this world" My mom sighed and hugged me, as I heard shuffling inside of the woods. "Ma, what is that?" I asked as she shrugged her shoulders and stood in front of me. I stayed behind,  like I was a little girl and we both walked towards the bushes.
"Mom?" I called but she put her finger to her lips as she neared the entrance of the meadow.
"Ouch! Dumb ass tree branches, why ya on the damn floor, my old lady feet can't take this" someone said in the meadow.
Wait...
That's not-
"Momma why you over here trying to scare us!" My mom yelled and before I knew it, out walked my grandmother  (who was fully clothed with leaves) with her short hair in an afro as I last seen her.
"Girl I'm over here trying to find you, I'm hungry, over here preparing food for yo ass and you over here disappearing! And who the fuck is we, we who-" she looked past my mother and we made eye contact.
"Grandma?" I couldn't stop smiling and neither could she. "Joy! Baby that's you? !" She came over to me and we hugged for a long time. She looked at me and the frowned. "Why the hell are you here?

...

*Jermanie POV*

"I don't want to explain it here Jermanie" she looked at me like she was guilty of something and I shook my head.
"So can we talk about it tonight mom?"
"How about we go for a drive tomorrow, get something to eat, and I'll explain it then" she got up getting ready to leave.
"Okay mom... promise me you'll explain everything" she came to me and kissed my cheek.
"Yes I promise baby, now I'm going to go" she walked over to Joy and kissed her forehead and looked at me.
"You're staying here aren't you" she asked and I nodded my head. "I'll bring you something to eat later, and a change of clothes" she began walking out and I looked at Joy and sat by her side, and I held her hand as she squeezed it. I looked up and my aunt had her hand over her mouth and tears streaming down her face. She sped walked off as I wondered what was going on and when is Joy going to wake up.
"Joy please... surprise me. Wake up right now..."

...

'Joy...surprise...wake up...now...' I heard a voice say as I  looked around confused. "Girl what the hell you looking at" my grandmother asked and I shrugged. 
"I heard something... like someone was talking... never mind" I shrugged off the all too familiar voice.
"Now why are you here Joy, what happened?" My grandmother asked and I explained to both my mom and my grandmother what happened, and how I got here.
"Girl are you fucking stupid!?" My grandmother yelled at me and I shrugged.
"Momma stop cursing! She's obviously been through alot-"
"That don't mean kill yaself, child if that was the case, my ass would've been gave up on you and your brother." My mom rolled her eyes and grandma turned her attention back to me.
" Joy, you're being selfish. You have so many people stressing out and  worried about you, girl you have a big impact on everyone's lives and you haven't even started living yet. Why the fuck are you trying to take that way, and why are you both naked!?" My grandmother yelled and me and my mom looked at each other and the next thing I know we were in white silk robes. I looked at my grandmother who was also in one and I shook my head.
"Joy you have to go back eventually. When are you gong to, I don't know but it's been almost a month and a half, I know your friends are worried about you"
I looked at my grandmother and my mother and I sighed. "But you guys are here. I miss you grandma, and this is the first time I'm meeting my mother.  As selfish as it may seem, I just wanna stay here, with you" I said sobbing in tears.
"I don't want to go back"...
