Forever Love

Chapter 6: Loyalty

April P.O.V.

I was sitting at the lunch table with Kayla, Mya, Kareon, Mchael, and Joc.

"So, how are you and Joc, April?", I heard Mya say while staring at Joc with looks to fuck.

"We are good actually, thanks for your concern", I said focusing most of my attention to Joc. He looked at me as if he didn't know what was going on. I don't have time for this shit, I thought as I got up heading out of the cafe.

"APRIL, HOLD UP!", I heard Kayla say behind me. "Wha's up Girl?" I relied. " I just want you too know that Joc and Mya don't have anything going on, she's just mad because he doesn't want her, he told her off our freshman year."

Chuckling to myself, I replied to her, "Really Kayla, I don't even care because we're not together, but if she thinks we are together, like you did, that was very disrespectful." Bitches don't have anymore morals now and days.

"You right April, see you later girly. We're going out one day this weekend, I heard this boy name Dice was having a party tonight." I replied a yes, as my mind wandered off to who could Dice be. Within my first month of attending here, I've learned everyone and who they were.

-----------------------------

Once I arrived home, I looked around the home to see it was cleaned up and there was food in the fridge. I quickly made a bacon egg and cheese sandwhich, heading up to my room. I heard my phone buzz, it was a text from Joc.

JOC: You good?

Me: Couldn't be better, sis.

JOC: Man April bye I told you bout that shit man.

Joc hates it when I call him sis. I try to tell him it's a habit.
Just as I was gonna text him back, my room door opened and there stood my mother..
"Hey April baby..", I just studied her face. It looked as if she was exhausted and worn out.
I moved from my spot on the bed as tears fell down my eyes as I was hugging her. "I Love you mommy", was the only thing I could get out.
"I love you too baby, I'll never let that happen again..but you know I have to make ends meet I don't have a job.."
"I know mommy, it's fine I can handle everything."
She just looked at me smiling.

I walked into the trap, all eyes turned to me.

"Hey Dime","Wassup Dime".

I simply gave them a head nod heading the the back into my office.
I sat in there on the phone with one of my Cuban connects until about 10:40 PM trying to get a deal.
Eventually, he gave in and I was heading home.
I walked in with my mom on my ass.
"Where have you been Jaquell?"I knew I was fucked up then. She only calls me Jaquell when she's mad at me, but I don't have time for this shit.
"Ma I dead don't have time right now can we talk about this next year or some shit?"
"I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with yo ole baldhead ass. You need to go to the barbershop! Hell, yo waves ain't even waves nomore, they're desert storms! Dry ass hair."
I chuckled at her heading into my room. I picked up my phone seeing it buzz.

My April 💍😫: I was just texting you to make sure you're good. ❤️

Me: Yeah I'm good thanks for the concern. What made you think I wasn't?

My April 💍😫 : You ain't texted me to harass me about not texting you back.

Me: I see why that's a concern, but why didn't you?

My April 💍😫: Some shit with my mom but we cool now. I realized I was doing her bad, she's honestly coming to her senses and I wouldn't like her another way, you know?

Me: Yeah, I know, just work with her, but I'm bouta crash babygirl. Goodnight sexy. 😍

My April💍😫: Goodnight, Lil waves having ass.
