Ciara
"Baby girl, get up." I heard my dad whisper in my ear. "Yes daddy." I answered with my eyes still closed. "I'm going to work." He told me while I was still getting comfortable on my bed.
"Why? You don't have to do this." I pouted. I was getting tired of the having the same conversation with him almost everyday.
"Don't do that baby girl." He sighed. "I don't understand why you do this, what if you get hurt. What will I do, what about mom?" I asked in concern feeling a bit emotional just thinking about it.
"You and your mom will be fine. Nothing will happen to you guys as long as I'm alive, and nothing will happen to me, ok?" I didn't even realize I was crying until he wiped my eyes.
"Can you stay with me until I go back to sleep?" I asked pouting like a big baby.
"Yeah, come on." He sighed and we got comfy on the bed and before you knew it, we where both fast sleep.
I woke up to find that he was gone ,he must've left when I was sleep.
"I see you're up." My mom said as she walked in my room.
"Yeah, I just got up. Daddy left already, didn't he?" She nodded. "How can you be ok with him doing this you know he is the most hated man in Memphis.
You know if they can't get to him we are the next people on the list. Because they hate him." I fussed.
Dad is the biggest drug lord in Memphis.
"Yo yo- What this hell did we just walk into?" My cousin Kalayah stopped herself as she and my other cousin Kendra walked in.
"Damn I was bout to say some outta pocket shit heyyy auntie." Kalayah smiled at my mom.
"Don't hey auntie me. I heard what you be doing with that boy Christopher." My mom said as she hugged her. "Opp." Me and Kendra said in unison.
"I don't even know what your talking about." She smiled. "She trying not to get fucked up." Kendra wispered to me. "Right."
I laughed "ouu these cute where they come from?" I asked Kendra as mom walked out.
"Oh these lil ole things? Syheem got me these." She said showing me the earrings she had. "How much was they?" I asked, they didn't look real but they was cute.
