Tears of a Clown

Christian laughed as her little sister gave her the rundown on her weekend, starting with Banks popping up after his disappearing act.

"Wait, so the nigga just thought he was gonna walk in like everything was cool?" Christian asked trying to keep a straight face.

"Bitch, yes!" Olivia laughed. "Real deal on some begging type shit like I was supposed to feel sorry for his ass."

"Hell nah," Christian laughed.

"Seriously sis, I should have never followed you up and left his ass where I found him. On top of that, Sherrod shows up with this sexy, rude ass nigga! Bitch I was done."

Christian sat up on her couch getting serious again. She loved her little sister, but Liv could be a bitch sometimes.

"I hear you on the staying out all night, but Banks is cool people Liv. It won't hurt you to cut him some slack. You gave the man your virginity and started treating him like a hoe. Besides, how long has it been since you had some? That's probably why your ass is so uptight. And what are you gonna do about Sherrod? I'm pretty sure it's illegal for you to just be keeping him like that."

Olivia waved Christian off, "You of all people know how I feel about these niggas. I'm not trying to be out there like that. As far as Sherrod goes, I don't know. We haven't been able to locate his mom. You know that bitch had him living in that apartment with no electricity?" She frowned.

It was true. Olivia had been seeing Banks for two years, but she could count on one hand how many times she sex with him since giving him her virginity. Liv was selective on whom she shared her body with, and Banks was proving that she made the wrong decision.

"I mean, she is a crack head Liv," Christian shrugged. "He's not your responsibility though. Plus, what are you gonna do with him when school starts back next week?"

"I don't know..." Olivia whined. Sherrod was out back playing basketball with Christian's boyfriend Trey. He had been staying with her four days, and next week would be the end of her college spring break.

"What about the nigga that dropped him to you? Can't he take him?"

Shaking her head Olivia pulled out her phone to shoot her dad a text message. She knew he'd know what to do.

"He didn't even know who that guy was, and I was too pissed to get any of his info. Too much was happening at once."

Christian sighed chewing on her lip. She knew her sister, and she also know that once Liv had her mind made up about anything, there was no changing it.

"You talk to daddy about it?" She asked knowing this was tough for Liv.

"Not yet, I just texted him. I just... I don't know Chris. I don't want to leave Sherrod out there like that. Ole dude said he told him that my house was the only safe place he had to go. I honestly don't want to strip him of that security."

"Olivia, this is someone's kid. You don't know any of his information, you have no social, birth certificate, shot records, none of that! The kid is not even registered in a school right now."

"I know all that Chris! But what am I supposed to do? Drop him in front of his apartment and leave? You know I can't do that."

"No, but you can put him back in the state's care. He's probably better off there anyway. At least he'd have electricity and food." Christian explained, attempting to talk some sense into her sister.

Liv sighed, "I'll see what daddy says and go from there."

"Alright, but he's just gonna say the same shit I just said," Christian shrugged.
