U Did It

18.

Heaven

"Oh this is cute" Mama J said, picking up a royal blue, off the shoulder shirt

I nodded, taking a quick glance at the shirt.

"Heaven, what's wrong?" she sighed

"Nothing" I smiled

"You've been zoning out ever since this morning. Is everything ok?" she asked

"Everything is-"

"Don't you lie to me" she warned

"I've just been having these weird dreams" I explained

"About what?" she put the shirt back on the rack and we left the store

After walking out the store, we went walking around the mall.

"My parents..." I said lowly

"What are the dreams like?"

"Well they're more like nightmares" I confessed "My father is usually killing either me, my uncle, my mama, or Chris...We're always in my old house and it's always really dark"

"Poor child. How often do you have them?"

"At least 3 to 4 times a week." I said "Now they've become more realistic and I always feel like I'm being watched"

"Sweetie, that's not good at all" she placed her hand on my shoulder

"I don't know what to do to stop them"

"Does Chris know about this?" she asked

"No" I quickly said "I don't want him to think I'm crazy or something"

"He won't think you're crazy. You should tell him, it's not good to deal with stuff like this alone"

"He's got so much on his plate right now. I don't wanna add on to his stress"

"My son cares about you very much, if anything, he'd drop everything and come running when you need him" she explained "Tell him. I assure you that everything will be ok"

"I'll try...thanks, Mama J" I hugged her

"Anytime." she smiled

Chris

"We gonna have to cancel the show for tomorrow until my ankle gets better" I said to my manager over the phone

"If that's what you want" he sighed "You're losing a lot of money with all this canceling and rescheduling"

"I know" I sighed "Give me like 2 more days and I'll be good" I said

"Alright. I'll talk to you later" he said

"Ight" I hung up

I've been stuck like this for 2 days now, canceling shows, limping around, needing help because I can't put too much weight on my ankle, just stuck. I can't take this shit.

I felt myself getting hungry, so I got up and went to the kitchen, heated up the plate that Heav had already put in there for me, sat down and got ready to eat.

Soon as I got situated good, the fucking doorbell rung.

"Man what the fuck" I smacked my teeth, grabbing my crutch and making my way to the door

Soon as I opened the door, I tried my best to slam it back shut, but it was too late. She had already stepped in.
