Next day...
woke up with a smile on my face had got ready to go pick up my money I ran out my room and into mom's. she was gone I searched everywhere she was no where to be found. I went into the kitchen and into the refrigerator weew it was stank.. I had forgotten everything had done rotted but no worries I get my income tax money today.. I went outside to check the mailbox and realize a sign standing in our yard it says Evicted .. im just sitting here thinking that we're close to being kicked out the house. I tried calling mom she ain't answer I guess shes at work.. " baby!!!" mom said running into the house.. "yeah?? where you been??" I questioned she had a tear running down her cheek. "we've been robbed!!" she added flopping onto the floor. my eyes widen. I sat on the ground right next to her. "how?" I asked. she tried talking but none of the words would come out. I wiped her tears and told her to take a deep breath. she looked down at the ground that was almost covered in little black ants. "well after I paid the water bill and the light bill. a homeless guy came to me and asked for 5 dollars. I took the money out my purse ready to give it to him, he snatched all of it and ran down the street like a track star he had on a blue hat full of ripped holes a big black shirt full of red and green stains on it" she said making movements with her hands. I felt hot tears balling up in the back of my eyes. I ain't like to see my momma cry, I held her hands. we really couldn't do anything about it because we ain't have a phone to call the police we couldn't drive to the police department with a bike. well my mom rides a bike to the hospital everyday, the police department was 4 miles away my car couldn't even make it there so we just waited until the next year. "im sorry momma, and look we've been evicted today with only 20 days to get out the house.." I said pulling out the yellow notice paper. she slightly took the paper and began reading it. I can see more tears flowing down her eyes as she kept reading it. she got up and brushed herself off running into the house. I felt pain rushing through my body. I got up and rode mommas bike down to the bank. as I walked in I spotted a homeless guy. the same one that momma described, blue hat with holes, big black shirt with stains on it. he hoped on his bike and speeded off somewhere I walked up to the lady at the front window and asked to see if my income tax had came in. she walked into the back after askin me for my last name and came back with a white small envelope. she pulled out a stack of money and counted it in front of me. "300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550," she began I smiled and crossed my fingers hoping the money wil never run out as she counted it. " aaand $1000" she said finally putting the money back into the little white envelope. I grabbed it and walked out ready to go. I didn't went home I rode all the way to find where to buy a new door, a new refrigerator, and pay for the gas bill. after I paid all that leaving me with only $508 I went and bought food for the house and some new clothes from the mall. I came home 3 hours later and saw mom packing up her stuff. " mom here" I said handing her my last. she smiled and took it. " thanks baby but whats all this??" she replied stuffing the hundred dollar bill into her bra. I took the groceries into the house. mom carried my shopping bags inside also. I pulled out the old fridge and put it into the garage. " our new door and refrigerator will be here soon" I said putting up everything. " you bought food! and a new door aaand a fridge! baby I love yoou!" she said hugging me as her arms squeezed my back tightly. even though we aint had much im glad to see my mom happy. ♡♥♡
