Elijah
I was in a deep slumber when someone was banging on my door like they lost their mind. I couldn't even move the way my head was spinning, whoever was at the door would have to come back later.
Closing my eyes they start knocking again.
"Elijah Nathaniel Jackson if you don't come open this door"!!! I knew that voice by the way she said my whole name, it was my mom.
Slowly getting out of bed I walk downstairs trying my best not to fall I went to the door and open it to see my mom with her hand on her hip.
"Took you long enough" she walk in.
"My bad momma I was still in bed".
"I can tell, you must've went out last night".
"Yeah I was with Cornell and Sean".
"Mhm" was all she said before going into the living room. I went to the kitchen and grab a piece of gum that was on the counter. Popping it in my mouth I went to sit with my mom.
"What brings you by"?
"Your father is back to his old ways" she roll her eyes while pulling out her phone.
"I heard, Cornell told me he saw him at the liquor store".
"I'm telling you he's such a phony, how you gonna sit up there and preach to the people about it's bad to drink when you still doing it yourself".
Before my dad became a pastor, he was an alcoholic. Eventually he went and got help and been sober for about a year. Now I'm hearing that be back at it, it's already bad enough some of the members is talking about him.
"Ma don't even worry about it, I'll talk to him. I'm heading over there in a little bit once I get myself clean up".
"Yeah you do that cause I smell you when you open the door" my mom said turning up her nose at me.
"Oh it's like that momma, I thought you love me".
"I do just go shower and fix that nappy head of yours, I'll call you later on".
"Ight talk to you later" walking her out the door I watch as she got in the left. I went back into the house so I could get my day started, as bad as I don't want to go over my dad house Ima go anyway.
Seem like he's never going to change.
Daniel (Elijah dad)
I was in the middle of reading my bible when Elijah come walking in. From the look on his face seem like something was bothering him.
"How's it going son, what brings you by"? I close my bible giving him my full attention.
"I hear you back to drinking".
"Come again".
"Look Pops I already know, mom came by the house and told me".
"Your mom and I are not even together anymore and she still worrying about what I'm doing".
"That's bedside the point, the fact that you supposed to be a man of God but you still doing your dirt".
"Listen son I don't care what your mother thinks or anyone else, only God can judge me".
"Yeah ight just remember the people of the church blood is on your hands" with that he left out.
I wasn't worrying about nobody worrying about what I got going. At the end of the day I still got new faces coming to join my church and getting the offering and tithes from them.
Hell half of them only come to hear the word and get a blessing. While I'm giving the word money is coming in my pocket so that's all what matters.
Rayvn
Last night was so fun especially being with Juila. I don't even remember the last time I had smile like that. Looking at the time to see it was almost 1:00, I didn't even come until three something in the morning.
Getting up I went to the bathroom to take care of my business. Once I got finish, I went into the living room to see a sleeping Drako on the couch. Rolling my eyes I went in the kitchen to fix me a bowl of cereal.
"Aye we need to talk" I heard Drako say as he made his way in the kitchen.
"There's nothing to talk about" I sat down at the table eating my cereal. I was in a good mood and I was planning on keeping it that way.
"See that's what I'm talking about, here I am trying to be serious and you wanna fuss".
Taking a spoon full of Fruity Pebbles into my mouth while looking at a drove Drako, I finish chewing before speaking.
"Look here I am sick and tired of you, why don't you just leave already. There's no secret you sleeping with someone else, go be with her and leave me alone".
"I ain't going nowhere Ray and you know that, I love you".
"You what"? I laugh as I put my bowl in the sink. He love me? Now that was funny.
"Man whatever I don't know why I put up with your stupid ass" he mumble walking back into the living room.
I wasn't about to give him what he wanted which was arguing. I woke up in a good mood and he wanna come say he love me, miss me with the bull.
I went back in my room getting undress so I could take me a shower. This evening I am going to stop by the Black Ink and see if they had an opening for me, Ima start back doing what I love best and that was doing tattoos.
