Dave was now 17 years old and was growing handsomely. His mother did a good job at teaching him everything about the world. Except the drug world. She didn't tell him that's how his father died from getting shot on someone else corner and how his uncle died from a drug overdose or how his grandma died from the same thing. Drug overdose. PCP was the worst in New York.
"Where were you boy?"Danielle ask with the lights off. Dave couldn't see his mother face so he just spoke.
" I was b-by Chris h-house"Danielle can tell he lying. Gets it from his father.
"Why you lying?"she said.
Dave couldn't say anything. He have to tell the truth. "I don't know"he said.
"So let's try this again. Where were you?"Danielle turn the lights on.
"I was on the corner. Making my money ma"Dave said. Danielle wanted to cry. But she didn't. She will have to do it the hard way. She use to do this with Dave father.
"Give me the money"she reach her hand out. He gave her the money and sigh. She counted the money which was 2,000$. "When you come home from your lil job slaying dope on the corner, this is my money for now on"
"Momma, you can't do that..."
"I can do whatever the hell I want! You work for somebody?"
"No, I work for myself"he said.
"Well now you do. For me"Danielle said. "Find a way to work for yourself. When they put your ass in jail, don't call me. When they kill your ass, ima plan your funeral. But I won't be there"
Dave wanted to cry for what his mother said. "Because it's gone go through my mind on what did I do wrong? But I'ma show your ass the hard way"Danielle stomp her feet on the wooden stairs.
Dave drop his bag on the floor and sat on the couch. He took off his white Air Force 1s. He sigh looking at the computer while brushing his hair forward.
