Arielle

There's this place for people like Jamal. It was like a daycare I guess or school. Yea it was like school so it gave me free time to not have to worry about Jamal. Mariah left with uncle Oscar early this morning.

Armani was offered to go but she decided to stay with me, so I was happy. I'd honestly be so sad if Armani left me. She makes things less lonely and more fun.

"So where are we going ?" She asked as I drove

"I have a meeting so your gonna be a good girl and be quiet for thirty minutes"

"But Ari I'm hungrry!!" She whined

"Wow Armani's finally hungry"

She hasn't been eating much for the past two days cause she wasn't feeling too well.

"Yeah I really want a cheeseburger" I nodded pulling up to the nearest McDonald's.

I got out the car looking at my heels. My toes were painted white and I wore skinny jeans that had a cut out on one knee, I had on a long Kimono cardigan with a white button up shirt that was tucked into my jeans.

I took my weave out so I let my natural hair breath. It was left out for my curls to breath.  I dyed it brown but there were some blond highlights. My hair was shoulder length now. My bangs hung over my forehead.

"C'mon Armani " I took her by the hand

Armani wore blue jeans with tajun Nike sandals. She wore a crochet, peach colored top with her hair braided into a cornrow ponytail.

"Make sure you stay by my side" I said

I nodded, "can you carry me" I did

I fixed her mask so that she wasn't recognized.

"You don't mind the mask right" I asked as we walked

"Nope I like being a different character everytime I'm out with you" I smiled

"Yea it's cool today your just a black face" I laughed since her mask was just plain black.

She had her face painted under black. I wasn't about to let this girl get identified cause I knew if people knew who she was they'd put her in danger. There's creep in this world and with me being who I am they'll do whatever they can.

I walked inside and was already being attacked. I declined every damn picture everyone asked to take with me and just ordered me and Armani's food even with people recording me and her

Jesus

I played with DJ as Xavier sat besides me watching tv.

"When is she gonna stop by?"Xavier asked as we seen Arielle on the tv

"I don't know man" I said giving DJ some of the crackers

"Its been 2,000 years since I've seen her" I nodded,

"I know me too" I said

Everyone in the house was out, I was left babysitting Xavier, DJ and Kamari. I guess it's an uncle's duties to look out for my nieces and nephews.

I would tell Xavier he'll see Kim soon, but shit I didn't fuckin know.

"I miss mama"

"Xavier you just saw ya mama the other day, she stopped by on Sunday" he shook his head, "it wasn't the same I only hung out with her for like 5 hours then she went to the Bet Awards then she said goodbye" he whined

"Well she's comin back soon, I know that for sure" I said

"Juice" DJ said

I grabbed his bottle handing it to him. That was his favorite word. Juice. The only word he pronounced clearly.
