No More Pain...

(6) Delays

We were here...

" Jade, I'm home" I exhaled. I came out of the corner to find my aunt.

"Sweet baby Jesus, there you are. Can't be scarring and old woman like me. Lucky I didn't punch you." She chuckled and kissed me on the cheek and continued to unpack groceries into their rightful places.

"How was school suga?" She asked. I sat on the counter. "Great!"

I put down my pocket knife and sneaked ah grape.

"That's great honey, best news I've heard all day!" She continued to pack groceries and smacked my hand away from the grapes.

"Ma, can I got to a party tonight?" I asked quickly while putting on the puppy face hoping for ah yes. She looked at me for a moment.

"Your finally opening up to people, of course you could go. Who's it for?" She asked while taking ah sip of water.

"Shelley" I grabbed some grapes and ate them.

"Oh really, I haven't seen that girl since your were in the ninth grade." Eyeing me. "Really? Hm, strange I wonder why?" I responded sarcastically.

The bitch is a lunatic and practically thinks I'm shit.

"What you are you going to wear girl?" I saw something in her eyes. Excitement maybe? "The dress you bought me for my 16th birthday. I haven't worn it yet, so I thought what better chance." Picking at my clear nail polish.

"Great choice." She smacked my hand.

I looked at the clock. It's 7:45 I headed for my room and took the hair cap off and got my flap iron out and started to straighten my hair. I burned my ear.

"Shit!" I whined. Checking my ear it's a glowing shade of red now.

Eff my life.

I swear nothing goes right with me.

After straightening my hair and applying Vaseline to my burnt ear. I pulled out my makeup box and turned on my mirror lights. I was searching for a smokey eye look. I put on eye liner and poked myself in the eye. "Ow man!"

Wtf?!

After what seemed like forever, I finally got my makeup done. Thank God for YouTube. Or else I would be looking like a freaking zombie. I sprayed some body mist to give my skin a natural glow. I got dressed then applied some deep red lipstick and added a touch of lip gloss to give it a little shine.

Picked out some ballerina flats the were black. I searched through my jewelry box to find my earrings my father gave me. They said Jade. I finished it with a simple chain with a heart as it's pendant. Ma came in

"Awe, baby you look fierce! Work it girl!" We both laughed as I strutted down our imaginary runway. I ran over and kissed her.

"Thank you for everything ma! Really...Oh and uh someone is coming to pick me up." I added quickly.

She gave me a look only a mother could have, fear for their child. Immediately I added, "A friend, his name is Damien. He's nice and stuff." Hoping she would still let me go.

"Ok, but I want you home before 12:00 a.m aight lil mamma?" She finally said.

"Ok, I promise." I hugged her and kissed her even more.

Bang-bang

"Who the hell they think they is making all of this noise?" My aunt said getting heated.

"Ellen, open up this fucking door gurl!" That poor language. Where do I know that voice from?

Mara.
