Problems In Life(Short)

The door sweep open, making my heart whack out of my chest.

"Did you hear anything?" I arise.

Trigga sorrowful look told it all.

"Look man don't stress yourself." Trigga tried settling me down.

"How can I not stress myself, he's my son Trigga. What if his stupid ass mom took him out of state." I kept imagining.

"Yo!" Ash erupt in the door.

"You heard anything?" I question.

"No, but I involved Officer Crook." Ash put out there.

"WHAt the fuck he suppose to do?" I semi yelled.

"Yo nigga chill, my nosey ass neighbor going to come out looking and shit." Trigga warned.

"Niya is Junior son, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do anything to harm your son. Just calm down Greg. Officer Crook already put a Amber alert out. If anyone see Niya they would know she unstable, and someone would alert you or the 12 right away."

The words that came out of Ash mouth made my body steady and sedate. I finally come to a agreement with him.

"Your right." I pledge to myself, letting my body relax.

Maisy

My body shiver from the cold air, the back of my head brought torture to me.

I manage to stand up on two feet, my surrounding twirl around me.

Homeless people look at me stunned, what was a girl like me doing sleeping under a bridge they probably thought.

Where was I going to go now?

I never met my father before, I'm uncertain if my mom knows whom my father.

My grandmother abandon my mom, when she seen all different types of men in my mom life at the age of 16.

Who knows where my grandmother at, I never really met my family members, and if I did, I probably was a baby.

My mom being on her own since I was 1 year old.

James came around when I was 5 year old, turning my mom into a monster.

Before I turn 5, I could remember how nice and sweet she was.

"How about you go play the video games, while mommy go take of business." She hand me a lot of quarters.

"Thank you mom!" I smile hard as I can.

Fred's had a lot of games, you can pretty much compare Fred's to chuck e cheese, but instead it was dinner/cafe.

The first game I choose to play was pac man, the next game was dealing with racing, and than the coin slot machine, afterwards I got addicted to playing the claw machine, where all my coins went.

Once I ran out of coins, I went searching for my mom. She was no where to be found.

This wasn't her first or second time leaving me all alone. I was pretty much use to it.

I had to potty, I went inside the restroom, where I spotted my mom red pumps, she was on her knees.

At the moment I was unaware what was going down in the bathroom stall, but as I grew older, I was very mindful because I became apart of her.

I found myself staring off into blank space, after I was done reminiscing.

I didn't want to go home and face Rita, I was still pissed off. Piss that she let my son went with Niya. If that's the case she would hand out my son to anyone.

"The lord going to bring him home baby." My mom prayed.

I shrugged my shoulders not trying to hear my mom lecture.

"Just know I'm here for you son, always will be." She knew I didn't want to hear her godly lecture, so she cut the subject short.

"How about you come to church with me, God would make a way.... Just come to church and pray." She added.

I sighed, wishing she could go on with her life.

"Mom."

"Greg." She mocked.
"Is you coming to church or not?" She question.

If I didn't agree she was going to try to give me another lecture on why I should be in church.

"Alright mom, I'll come." I sighed coming into a agreement.

"The lord is good!" She praise.

Right the lord is good...
