Elijah POV
"So how is the project going" my momma ask me
"Good" I said smiling about the project. I'm honestly grateful for this project cause without it I wouldn't have made a friendship with Dre.
"I can tell cause you got that kool aid smile going on, so tell what going on"
"It's really nothing but regular ol project I told you that already" I told her.
"I know that but I want to know about your partner is he cute and what's he like, hell what's the child name" she said
"Dre I'm not attractive to him but he very handsome cute I guess, anyway before We did this project he was very disrespectful but once I got to know him I realized we have a lot in common" I told her
"A lot common like what" my dad said walking the room " heard y'all was talking about the project so I wanted to know about to"
"Just the relationship with his family" I said "I mean I didn't tell him much about our family dynamics"
"What is our family dynamic" my mom said
I look at her like she ask a stupid question.
"You really don't know" they shake they head no and which I roll my eyes cause I hate when I bring this up they act like they push that shit to the back of there mind. Why do black people do that shit man. I love my people to death and back but we need stop doing that man. That probably why we so depress especially with young black man.
"Our dynamic is are relationship I don't feel comfortable talking to anybody in my family because nobody act like they care so if you don't care I don't either."
"We do care" they said. They know know damn well that was some leftover shit.
"Well y'all sure have a funny way of showing it you remember when I got violated at school, y'all didn't even do anything about you barely said anything to me for a week. Hell I thought I did something wrong" I told them
"You didn't do anything we just didn't know what to do at the time. I was going through some things with your father at the time I wasn't thinking"
"Of course you weren't thinking y'all couldn't even put anything to the side to check on your child."
"Look we're sorry son if we could we would take it back" my dad said
"Well I guess some of us can't take back the things from the pass. I mean I can forget but I most likely won't forgive" I said walking to my room to get on my computer.
"Man I swear need to release some stress man but I'm not going to do that while they're here ugh" I said to myself before throw a tantrum "I hate this house sometimes man"
