A/N: Y'all pissed with me? My bad. I've been going through alot. But, I'm back and better and y'all got this story to 2.3k views. Thank you so much, watching y'all comment and vote has been a big part of what's kept me going this past week. I love that y'all are loving my work. This is for y'all! Tell me what you think.

"So, you think it's acceptable you only come home when you feel the need?" Delilah's mother, Vanessa, had her hand on her hips with her body blocking the doorway.

Delilah wasn't giving her any energy. She had more important things on her mind, like what she was going to wear to see Gunz later on that evening. He told her to wear something navy blue and sexy, because they were going on a double date with Haud and his girl, Wani, and he wanted to match. Delilah ran her fingers over a stretch fabric navy blue halter dress, that had a caged strappy look on top. She laid that out with the gold Loubitons Gunz had surprised her with about a week before.

Vanessa cocked her neck back. "And where the fuck you think you going in that? And where you get the money to pay for them shoes from?!" She continued to go off, "I know your little nasty ass better not be out here tricking. If so, at least tell the nigga to buy you some shoes from this season!"

Delilah stopped and gave her a cold look. "Girl, please. My man only purchases what isn't yet available to regular people." She rolled her eyes and reached for her burgundy knee length trench coat out of her closet. For school, she was wearing a knit black cowl neck bodysuit with high waisted dark blue jeans, and burgundy Nike Rosche's. Before she could put it on, a loud smack sounded off in the room and Delilah felt like her face was numb, but on fire.

Vanessa had slapped her so hard, the left side of her face felt paralyzed.

"After school, you have your ass home. No practice, no Kina, no nothing but sitting in this motherfucker in the dark by yourself," She hissed. "Now give me your phone." Vanessa held her hand out, like Delilah was actually about to go for that.

It finally registered Vanessa had hit her in the face, and Delilah's skin was crawling. "Excuse me. We can get back to the dramatics after I wash my face," She mumbled, disgusted.

"I'm sick of you with that OCD shit! Your black nice nasty ass needs to realize you ain't better than nobody! I'm sick of little girls who don't have shit but what some nasty ass old man bought for them thinking they too good!" Vanessa hollered, tapping her foot with anger.

Delilah patted her face dry calmly and picked up her purse. "Excuse me," She said politely, waiting patiently for her mother to get out of the doorway.

"I said give me your fucking phone, NOW!" Vanessa was nose to nose with her, eye's yellow and wide like a crazed bear. Her voice had even reached hysterical heights. Delilah slowly reached in her purse and handed Vanessa the phone. Even though she was stewing with anger, she didn't let it show.

"Are we done?" Delilah questioned, with a raised eyebrow.

Vanessa gritted her teeth and screamed in Delilah's face, clenching her fists so she wouldn't hit her.

Just to make her feel stupid, Delilah blinked twice and eased around her. She shook her head as she slammed the door and walked to the car. It wasn't until she had turned the corner she used her car phone to call Gunz.

"Baby, if I don't text back today don't get mad. My mama took my phone." Delilah was pouting. She was big mad, she had grown an attachment to Gunz and knowing she wouldn't have contact with him all day because of her wack ass mama annoyed her.
