De'kay

" why we here?" I asked my mother coz I'm not talking to the others, me and Lay are at this family meeting, im hungry, my boys are sleeping coz they tired, lay just don't wanna be here, I asked Q to stay around the house incase some happens,im not on speaking term with the rent of my family members same as Jasmine, she don't talk to nobody in this family well including me. " your father and I believe it's time you kids spoke to one another, you'll never know when one of us won't be around to do this again " my mom said, I was listening but wasn't gon be the first one to start talking" is that all? I flew all the way from Italy for this-" jasmine was cut off by Jeanette " your ass wasn't even at Italy, you live in Miami stripping for a living so don't come here talking like you living large " jay snapped, my jaw dropped, same as my mother's jaw and everybody else" what I do with my life and my body don't got nothing to do with you all,if this meeting is for us to get along then we have a long way to go I'm out of here" jasmine said looking pissed as hell,she was about to go until mama D stopped her" please don't leave, I need to get something off my chest " she said coming from the kids playing room..." sit down child " she begged Jasmine, jas looked like she was thinking about it until she sat " where's aliyah? " daisy asked " she with her daddy" jas said, " you should have brought her here and your other child....to keep this short I'm gone head straight to the point. I'm going to ask just this one question why is there a drift between all of you? What happened? " she asked, I chose to keep my mouth shut" can I say why?" lay asked, miss D nodded" aight,to be honest...jaylon doesn't have a problem with anyone, his living his life and doesn't get involved with anyone which is wrong coz he should be interacting with all of us, then there's jasmine, the reason Jasmine is so angry at all of us well not me but all of you coz yal didn't wanna support her marriage and dad let that happen that's why....then De'kay,she lost her baby but none of yal were there for her as she was there for yal...she needed you all but you wasn't there and that hurt me so bad that's why I prefer being with her than any of yal,jeanette is leaving her life, thinking she's way on the top than all of us...hmm Jaylon...hmm I don't know what's up with my brother Jaylon really Jaylon what's wrong with you?" Lay asked him" man leave me alone " he said " alright yal...so all of you basically want support from one another then why can't it happen?" miss D asked " I give/gave everyone of yal the support that I could give but when I was totally down and out and needed yal nobody cared but mama so don't include me in no messed up situation" I said...feeling my tears coming down just remembering what went down but I kept them within me" as for me, I aint got none to say but yal deserted me so I had to do what I had to do to survive, after Anthony got hurt during one of his games we went really low on cash so I had to do what I had to do to keep living so that's that.im living my life and I love it how it is without any of yal" jasmine said yep that hurts to know she don't wan t nothing to do with any of us" why are we really here? " Jeanette asked " I have something to share with you all " daisy said, we all nodded" I want to take this time, to thank you all for being wonderful kids and easy to raise for me...even though Jas and jay gave me trouble yal turned out pretty fine for me, De'kay thank you for keeping this family together and getting this miss lil attitude over here some hope to life...boys yal been boys but Jaylon you still owe me that honours law degree boy I hope you gon get it " she finally said looking sad which made me sad, I have this edge to pee I just hope she gets done quickly.

She took a deep breath before speaking again" I have stage 4 brain tumor, and it has made a huge effect on some of my organs and my eye sight, -dont yal look too sad, I have lived my life enough, yes I don't have long to be here -" I cut her off by crying so loudly, I just couldn't hold it in anymore, I stood up and rushed to the bathroom coz I also needed to pee so bad...I peed with tears falling down my face it's weird but what" kay you okay?" I heard Lay ask " I'm good, just needed to pee i'll be down in a minute" I said, as I finished my business,i washed my hands then went back downstairs " sorry about that I just has to go- mama you got cancer? " I asked again like she didn't say she did I'm hoping I heard wrong " yes baby I got cancer, im asking all of you to please spend this whole week with me " Mama D asked, now I'm back in tears " you can the serious - how long have you had it?" Jaylon asked " I found out 2 months back...so what do you all say? " she asked, I nodded then went to hug her, jas came, then lay aight now they suffocating me...lay came to.we hug ma as well...my dad looked hurt now he knows how we feeling...wait is that why lay saw dad crying? omg he was in a bad space that why he couldn't be there for me " daddy how are you feeling?" I asked, he looked surprised that I asked" been holding it together -how about you?" he asked concerned...im concerned about him " been good -holidng it together too " I said then hugged him, he tried hugging me back but my stomach wasn't letting him" I see you big " he joked, I nodded" yeah I guess " I laughed uneasily....and that's just how the meeting went...we still not talking together though.
