Dana POV

Spring 1954

   "Baby! Baby! Oh lord why isn't she awake yet!" I hear my mom screaming as I come to. Blood is my least favorite thing and I get very ill if I see it anywhere near me. I search for my mama as I look around.

  "Ma?" I say. She quickly jerks up and darts toward me and grabs me. She holds me tight. It was so tight and strong I thought I was gonna give outta breath.

  "You almost gave me a heart attack! You alright baby?" She asked me with a look of worry on her face. I nodded.

"Yes mama." I answer. The door closes and I see Nurse Brown walking up to me.

   "Well Honeybee it looks like you had quite the episode." She says as she put the ice pack on my head.

  "Now are you gonna tell me what happened to my baby and why she's in here." I rolled my eyes. She could be so over dramatic sometimes. It gives me a pain in the ass.

  "Well there was an altercation between two boys, your daughter got in the middle of it and tried to stop it. One of the boys pushed her and she crashed into the locker, she hit her nose , it bled. She fainted after seeing it. I would say she was put cold for a good bit of 3 hours."

I'm not gonna hear the end of it now! My momma is about to yell me into next December.

"Dana Renee! Why are you getting between two growing boys! You know that's not how ladies act! I done taught you better than this!" She paused in the middle of her rant and gave a deep breath in then out. "Well I suppose that I should be and am glad that you are okay. You know damn well then to do that." She put her head on my head and began to caress my hair . I closed my eyes and let out a sigh of relief now that she's done fussing.

"You should send her home. She needs to get a little rest. Next time Dana, don't get between anymore boys." She smiled and pinched my cheek. " I'll see you tomorrow.

My mama and I headed to her Aston Martin DB4 and got in. She was shaking her head as she started the car and sped off.

  "You gonna worry me into a early grave you know that girl?" She rubbed the side of her head

"You gonna worry me into a early grave you know that girl?" She rubbed the side of her head. I didn't want her to be upset with me, in fact I thought she'd be happy that I stopped James from fighting. I guess not.

"But mama I stopped the fight or at least tried cause James was on his last straw!" I protested with her.

"GIRL HAVE YOU LOST YO EVER-LOVING MIND?! I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT JAMES! HE AINT PAYING NO BILLS OR FEEDING YOU! IF JAMES TELLS YOU TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE IS YOU JUMPING? YOU ABOUT ON YOUR LAST STRAW! WHEN WE GET HOME GET TO THAT ROOM CAUSE YOU ARE ON PUNISHMENT!" She yelled at me. I was so mad cause she didn't understand! She's never going to. I huffed and forced myself into my seat. I can't wait for tonight cause that means I won't have to be in the same house as her.
