Little Red In The Hood

Chapter 21

Red's P.O.V

I Can't Wait To Get Off Of Work And Hold My Baby. I Got A Job Working At Target So I Can Get Money For All The Baby Stuff And Dre Is Taking Care Of The Bills. He Told He That I Can Take A Extra Shift Today, And He Was Gonna Watch Miracle. I Told My Mama To Go Check Up On Him At 12:00 To Make Sure He Has Everything Under Control. I Felt My Phone Buzz So I Went Behind A Rack Of Purses To Check The Message.

Ma: Where Is DreShawn??

Me: At The House Ma

Ma: He's Not Here, I Been Here For 30 Minutes Waiting On Him But He's Gone, And Where Is All The Baby Stuff I Bought You??

Me: He Has To Be There I Told Him Not To Leave The House, And The Clothes Are In The White Drawers.

Ma: There Is Nothing In Here For The Baby

Me: Maybe You Not Really Looking

Ma: I'm In Your Bedroom Now, ALL Of Miracle's Clothes, Bottles, Bibs, EVERYTHING Is Gone.

I Called Dre To Find Out What The Hell Was Going On, But He Didn't Answer. I Went To My Boss's Office And Told Her I Had To Leave Due To A Baby Emergency.

"I Really Need You Herw But Since You Have A Newborn I'm Going To Let You Go..Mother To Mother"

"ThankYou Soo Much" I Said And Ran Out Of The Store

When I Got To The Bus Stop I Called My Friend Tasha

"T Where You At??"

"On My Way To Publix, Why Wassup??"

"Ima Explain Everything To You Later But I Need You To Come Pick Me Up From The Bus Stop On 8th Street And Take Me Home"

"Okay, Gimmie 5 And Ima Be There"

We Hung Up, And She Came To Pick Me Up.

"You Can't Drive No Faster Than That??"

"Why You In Such A Rush??"

"Dre Took Miracle And Went SomeWhere But I Don't Know Where, And He Not Answering His Phone"

"Wait What" She Said Pulling Up To The House. I Didn't Answer Her. I Ran Up To The Door And It Was Unlocked. I Ran To The Room And My Mama Was Right. ALL Of Miracle's Stuff Was Gone. Her Blankets, Her Pacifiers, EVERYTHING Was Gone.

I Went To The Bathroom, And Saw A Note On The Mirror.

'Red, I Love You But Too Much Is Going On, And I Don't Want Miracle Around You Right Now; So Im Taking My Baby To Georgia, So She Can Have Positive Influences Around Her. I Hope One Day You Will Understand Why I'm Doing This. You Are My Heart But Miracle Needs Someone To Look Up To That's Not Gonna Put Her In Danger, I'm Sorry But This Is What's Best For Her'

I Fell To The Floor Crying And Screaming, Tasha Walked In And Askes What Was Wrong, But I Couldn't Get The Words Out.

She Picked Up The Note Off The Floor And Read It. She Held Me Close And Told Me Everything Was Gonna Be Okay But I Knew It Wasn't. I Knew Everything Wasn't Gonna Be Okay. Dre Took My Baby All The Way To Georgia And Basically For No Reason.
