Teenage love affair

my life

I woke up to the screaming voices of my "mom" and step dad , I'm not surprise because that's like my everyday routine . I just hope this time they ain't wake my little sister up. I look at the alarm clock on my lamp table that read 2:25 AM that's unusual for my parents because they usually up at 5 ,they are basically my alarm clock for school.   " No I can't take them with me joe"  I heard my mom shout at my step dad. now I feel like they talking about me and Chrissy my little sister so I put my ear on the side of the door so I could hear the conversation they were having .  " I'm sorry but I love him and I can't tell him about those two I think he'll ..... Leave me because of those two nobody inside " I felt tears running like a faucet on my cheeks I couldn't believe what I was hearing she was leaving us ?????? I thought a mother was suppose to love her kids unconditionally right ??? That's normal right ??? But if she leaving what about joe they were engaged.  "I'm sorry but Joe im not in love with you no more . joe you'll find some one - "   "Get the hell out of my house you are unbelievable. how could you not care about your kids uh ??? Vick , they don't have nobody but us,their dad is in jail. who's going to be there for them ??? you their mother!!!! for God sake, think about what you doing to them Vick".   " No I'm tired of caring about everybody else but me I need sometime to myself " joe let out a long frustrated sigh before saying " a mom is a 24/7 , 7 days a week , 365 days, once you had them, they were your main focus, Vick I got cancer I won't be there for them for a long time ,they going to need somebody. I tried to tell you that for the past two months!!!! but you are always out when I get here from work , you just been getting drunk Vick - just go,I'll figure it out.but say bye to them before you leave",   long pause " I can't , they are manipulative just like their dad!!!!! they gone tell me to stay and I can't do that I'm sorry"  just like that the front door slam indicating that someone had left .now I was sobbing , I was crying for me ,my sister even joe.

The next morning I woke up to the smell of breakfast . joe must've been cooking for the 4 of us - that's when it hit me, my mom left last night my head now feel like I been hit with a baseball bat one too many times. I couldn't move at, all I did was cry and cry .I guess I fell asleep cause there was a light knock on my door a little later  I didn't want to talk to nobody but I knew joe was worried I sigh before telling him to come in.  "are you ok sweetie??? ask joe,   "I heard the whole conversation last night " he sigh deeply before walking over to my bed."im sorry liyah , you know your mom haven't been the same since your dad been arrested , even if her patents didn't approve of a black guy your mom was still in loved with him and I try to keep that out her mind but sadly failed I'm so sorry baby .the 3 of us will get through this all we have now is each other" but you didn't try hard to stop her-"   "I COULDNt !!!! She'll hate me forever and I couldn't live with that she'll be back baby." I'm sorry joe about you know " I said with apologetic eyes. " no! don't be I'll be alright baby ,I ain't going nowhere no time soon I have to be here when you  get married to August Alsina" he joked, " you aint never lie" I replied happily.  "go clean up breakfast is almost ready, Chrissy is watching TV in the family room we'll  wait on you take your time".I hug him then went to my bathroom when I passed the mirror I had to stop and look again my wild light brown curls were all over the place I need to go to the salon ASAP!!!!!. After my shower I brush my teeth , afterwards I put on some white shorts and a half shirt my belly ring on display. there's benefit to being Puerto Rican and black my butt is so round  and big  but not too much and firm and I wear a C cup ,my body was still developing for a sixteen years old I thought before spraying some Victoria secrets perfume on and leave out the door.  "liyah!!!"my little sister scream she always made me feel better I hugged her and sat down next to her. "uncle Joe say we get to stay home today no school!!! I get to spent the whole day with you , we can go get ice cream, shopping " I see a sad face suddenly and she said "only if mommy up to it". I suddenly felt sad and joe look like he was stuck."let's eat Chrissy Joe cooked our favorite " I half smile and said. The whole time we was eating breakfast I could tell that Joe had something in mind, I picked at my food not really hungry anymore.
