🎼 Naomi
" Armani please get up, You gotta get to school". I said
"Mmk Nene" she groaned
I left her room after that, that girl could sleep the day away if you let her. Oh my fault y'all, I'm Naomi. I'm 17 and I've been taking care of my family since I was ten. My dead beat ass father left us when I was about 11 right after my sister was born. My ma I mean... she wasn't really here. In jail sometimes but most of the time just out hoeing not giving a damn that she got two kids at home. Oh and my little sister Armani is my everything! I'll do whatever it takes to give her a better life. Which is what I'm doing now, I've been making music for a minute, working my ass off day and night. I'm kinda known around Brooklyn and other parts of New York but I wouldn't say I was famous. No way, not yet. Anyways today's starting off like any other day I wake Armani up for school and of course I'm already ready, and I fix her sum to eat. I walk downstairs to see mama. My face twisted. She looks up " well damn don't look so surprised to see me" she says with a cigarette in her mouth. " you ain't been home in weeks, I thought you would've forgotten you lived here" I said walkin by her into the kitchen. " it is still my house.. I pay the damn bills" I shot my head up at her so quick. "What the fuck You talking about? I been paying the damn bills, how you paying em and you ain't never home!" I yelled. She knew that would get me mad. Then I felt her tiny hand across my face. I held my cheek and looked at her smiling. Call me crazy but I know she only slapped me because you knew i was right. She ain't had nothing to say. " don't you disrespect me little girl.. and change your outfit you look easy" she smirked snd walked awayShe would definitely know what that looked like. But I thought this outfit was cute. Armani came down walked right by my mom and sat at the table then immediately started downing her cereal. " woah child slow down ain't nobody taking it from ya" I laughed. She laughed too and I couldn't help but smile at her. My little sister slayed! I tried my best to keep her in nice clothes.
Only 6 years old. And slaying all them. She's got sass for days and more edges than half these nappy headed hoes. After she ate I took her hand walked her out and waited for the school bus with her until she said " Nene when we gon leave here"
"Whatchu mean baby girl" I asked
" I mean when we gon leave this house and get a new one. I don't like it here no more. I want me and you to leave" I looked at her a little while before answering. She was right. I didnt want her growing up in Brooklyn anymore, especially with the way I grew up. Maybe I should move us. Not my mom of course but just us. " I don't know baby but maybe soon" I said smiling. "Yayyy she got up and started dancing. I laughed mad hard. My sisters a trip! Soon her bus pulled up I kissed her cheek and sent her off.
Now it was stuck in my head.. moving.. I think I might move us.. but where?First chapter hope y'all like Nene so far. Bryshere Yazz Gray will be playing Chance and chances character should come up in either the next chapter or the one after. So stay tuned👌🏽
