I check the clock and it's 3 in the morning. Who is calling me this early? "Hello?!"
"Hey Cay its Tia." I open my eyes looking at the phone. "Hey what's up?"
"Mama Sharon has been in a really bad car accident."
I raise up, "What?!? What happen?"
"She was going to turn when a truck ran a red light and went straight into her."
"Damn. How is she doing?"
"She's shook and bruised really, really bad. They're going to X-ray her and she may have to have surgery."
My face cringes, "Shit. Is there anything I can do?"
"She wants to see you actually." I let out a small sigh and lean back against the headboard. I don't want to let her down and not show up but what am I suppose to do about my children. I can't believe I'm about to do this.
"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. I can only stay for the night."
"I'll let her know."
"Okay, later Tia."
"Bye."
I get up and pull my laptop out. I buy my plane ticket for tomorrow morning and my flight back the following day. It's Friday so I'll leave there Saturday around ten and be back home just before midnight.
I hate to call her this early in the night. "Hey Cay."
"Girl I'm surprised you're up."
She laughs, "I don't sleep at night like that. I blame college."
"I remember those days. I have to fly out to Atlanta for a day. I'll be back Saturday night sometime. Can you watch the kids for me?"
"Yes I can. What time are you leaving out?"
"My flight leaves at 7 so I'll probably need to leave here at 5:30 ish."
"Okay well I'll just come over now, If that's fine with you."
"Girl you know it's fine."
"Okay. I'll be over shortly."
"Alright."
I get out of bed and begin to pack a bag. I can't believe I'm about to be back in Atlanta.
I squeeze in a 30 minute nap after Alisha arrives now it's time for me to leave. After kissing Jayden and Caliyah while they sleep I head to the car.
Cutting the radio on, I can't believe my ears. "Oh all the things they could play." I mumble turning to another station. What type of coincidence is it I'm leaving to go to Atlanta and Jr song comes on the radio?
I make it to airport and through TSA within a hour. I have 30 minutes before I leave so breakfast is an option. I grab something lite and sit down near my boarding area.
Between last week and today seeing Cathy, finding out my client isn't who he says he is and everyone knew but me, and now this. This shit is crazy and just too much for me to think about. I never should've took this case or gave out my number, I should've just stayed hidden.
"Flight number 345 now boarding."
"Back to this place I once called home."

"Thank you for choosing Enterprise. Here's your key and all the information you need."
"Thank you." I walk out and see my rental car waiting for me. Let's see if I still know my way around.
