Reese Money (A Lil Reese Story)

Distance

Lelani's POV

"Don't you fuckin run from me chile!" I yelped as my ma's belt grazed my ass but i kept on running around the apartment, tryna escape her wrath. 

"Ma stop! I told you i was with Ayanna and one of her brother's friends dropped me home!" I screamed tryna plead with her. Lester watched us run around the apartment while his fat ass drank out all the damn beer. He sucked his teeth as my mama stood in the way of the TV screen and he moved his head around tryna watch the game. 

"Damn Porcha, move!" He said shouting at my ma. I watched as my ma turned around and actually stepped to the side for this nigga. I raised my eyebrows forgetting about the fact that she was chasing me around the house with a belt in one hand and a butchers knife in the other. I walked over to Lester and stood in front of the TV, folding my arms over my chest. He sighed and mugged the fuck outta me. I mugged back, catching a quick attitude.

"Don't talk to my mama like that, folks!" I said and he jumped up from the couch. 

"Lester," My ma warned him but he ignored her and walked up to me. I wasn't scared of this fucking goofy, he was nothing but a bitch who relied on a female to get by. I was tired of this nigga's smart ass mouth ever since the first day he moved in 8 years ago. 

"And just what the fuck is you finna do about it lil girl? I can talk to yo mama anyway i fuckin please. She's my bitch not yours, folk." He said smirking down at me and i lost it. I shoved him as hard as i fucking could and started pounding on his chest. He just laughed knowing that my tiny ass wasn't doing any damage to him. 

"Nigga! I'll fucking kill you!" I screamed and glanced to my mom and grabbed the butchers knife from her hand and slicing his face. He screamed and stumbled backward while clutching his bloody face, dropping to his knees. "God-damn you fucking bitch!" He cried and looked up to me. I didn't give a fuck that this niggas face was bloody and i slashed his left eye open, i would go to jail and do the time for that shit. Nobody disrespects my ma and that's on gang, no matter how bad we argue and fight she was still the only parent i had left and i'd be damned if i let this nigga disrespect her. 

"Lelani! What the fuck have you done?!" She screamed grabbing my attention and i turned and looked over to her while shaking my head. 

"No ma, what are you doing? Why is you allowing this clown to walk all over you like you owe him sumn? You're a queen ma! Act like one! Leave this bit-" I said but i stopped talking when she interrupted me. 

"Get out." She said with her voice shaking. I blinked and looked around the room. Even Lesters crybaby ass was silent for a moment. 

"What? You talkin to him right?" I said while pointing down to Lester. She shook her head and sighed. "No Lelani, i want you to get the fuck up outta my house. You've caused more than enough damage! Go back to them hoodlum thugs you was with earlier on, i'm sure they'd be happy to take you back!" She yelled while walking away and i followed her, still at a loss for words. 

"Ma..what? Where am i finna go?" I said my bottom lip starting to tremble. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed the house phone of the hook. She put it on speaker and dialed three numbers. 

"911 what is your emergency?" The person on the other line said and i watched as she finally looked over to me. 

"Yes i'd like to report a accident involving my husband my daughter. I need paramedics and the police here right away," She said and my jaw dropped. Was she really selling me out right now? She was snitchin on her own blood. She hung up the phone and looked me dead in the eye. 

"You officially got 25 minutes to pack yo shit and get the fuck outta my house." She said and with that she walked past me and back to Lester in the living room.
