I called my mom,and boy was she pissed. I went and got all my work from my teachers for the next 10 days. I ran into Kingston in the hall. I let him know I was suspended and he asked for my number. I gave it to him and left. Mom came and got me from school and dropped me at the house.

"Yo shit better be packed when I get home, you goin to Louisiana with yo daddy Marly. Maybe he can straighten you out."she says as I get out the car.

"I ain't gon wit that man. That nigga aint been in my life since I was 4 he don't know me, I don't know him."i say then slam the car door.

"Im not playing Marly. You go with him or you go on the streets because I'm done."She says.

"Done what!? You ain't been there either! You sent me to Staten Island to live wit my Nana for 7 years after my dad left! Up until she moved here I was with her twenty-four seven! You barely came to see me, you never bought me anything, everything I got in this house Nana or myself payed for it! You ain't been no type of mother to me Monica!I went through hell because of you and that man!!!" i snap. I was forced into shit at 5 and it continued for 6 years until my so called dad got the money to give back to the Dominican Mafia.

"I did what I had to do to give you a good home Marly! I was broke! And that shit was never supposed to happen!"she snaps back. That's a damn lie she made hella money back then, I learned math at an early age because of my Nana. By 10 I could read bank statements, calculate how the taxes were done and all, so I know she had money

"That's a lie, Nana showed me texts where you said you didn't want me and you regret me, I don't even know why I came back to you! And even though it wasn't supposed to, it did!!"i yell in tears.

"I did regret you at the time, because yo dad left,and I knew I would have to take care of you myself!"she yells crying too.

"Don't explain nun to me. You want me gone I'm out." I say going inside.

"I gotta get back to work. Pack your shit."she says wiping her eyes. I went up to my room and packed everything, from clothes, to shoes, to hair stuff. She got me bumped, if she think im gon beg her to stay. My Nana live down here, closer to my school too. I called her and she came over with a mini Uhaul for my bed and dressers, because I payed for them too cause Monica wouldn't.

"What happened?"she asks hugging me.

"Monica, trynna force me to live with Kyle."i say referring to my mom then dad.

"Sweety what's wrong with that?"she asks.

"Nana, I don't know that man."I answer a little angrily.

"He's your dad."she says rubbing her thumb over the back of my hand.

"Didn't you say don't talk to strangers? Well he a stranger."i say raising my eyebrows.

"Bu-, your right but you know you wrong. Let's get you home, I moved for more space just in case you ever wanted to move back in."she says smiling.
