K.O.

New Shoes

I stormed back in the house.
"Ma get your shit. We outta here." I yell as I slam the door. I texted Jesse cone pick me up. She poked her head out the kitchen.

"Fuck you mean?"

"King and I are done! Bum ass nigga pushed me cause i didnt tell him about his daddy, the same guy who killed my daddy btw, that he was dead."

"Why didnt you tell him?"

"Because he was Starting a new job. I didnt want him to be focused on that?"

"Owen that's his dad." I stormed to my room and got my suitcase

"Okay and?!?? Im done with this fufu lame ass nigga." I yelled. "Fucking sweet ass gonna hit me because he a little bitch." I mumble as I pack my shit

"Owen do you not see the fault you have in this?" My mom came into the room.

"No. i tried to do the right thing but thats cool. Get your shit. Were leaving."

"Were not going anywhere. Stop being so dramatic and put your shit back in this closet."

"No. Im leaving with or without you." I push past her and walk outside to a honking Jesse. I load my shit in her car.

"Whats going on?"

"Drive and I'll tell you cause I'm fucking done." She does as she's told and I tell her watsup."i mean who the fuck does he think he is?"

"I completely agree with you but that's family. Im not trying to judge you buf imagine if you were in his shoes." I tried ti do as she sats but couldn't. "Lets say this. You and yo mother got beef and she, god forbid, dies in a car crash, 2 weeks went by and you still havent talked to her. When you see King, he says I couldnt tell you because you were starting a better life for yourself."

"Fuck that shit. That's my mother. If she dead then-" i saw what she was talking about. "What about the push though?"

"You'd do worst to him if he kept that news from you." She couldnt have been more right. I would've made sure he was bleeding. My mother is my world and you gonna tell me some shit like that. I got upset thinking about it. "You gotta fix this babes."

"I really did fuck up huh?" She shrugs "damn." I start to feel myself about to cry.

"O don't cry." She pulls into her street.

"Jess he doesn't love me anymore."

"Love is an understatement compared to what he has for you. You just need to talk to him." I nod. When we pull into her drive way, i got my suitcase and pit it inside if her house.

After a couple if hours, i woke up to my phone going off at 10 am. I prayed it was King. But it was my mom. I ignored it. I just want to be alone. How can I do the person I love like that? I really was trying not to mess up his new job.

Think about it, his first REAL job. Something he's never had because of an anchor he calls father. Now that he's finally got a real job, guess who comes back to weigh him down again? I bury my face in the pillow.

I really want to call King but I know he needs space and imma give it to him. Thats the least I could do. I really just want to know he's okay and that we are too.
