A Detroit Love Thang 3

CHAPTER SEVEN

                (Pay backs a bitch)

Alicia waits at the police station, while Alyssa gets her things togather and makes her way out of the Precent. Alicia honked her horn getting Alyssa's attention. She walked over to her getting inside. "Nice car," Alyssa say smiling. Thanks girl. "You okay sis?" Alicia asked. Yeah I'm okay, a little hungry though. They feed you like crap in there. Okay we can swing by somewere and grab a bite to eat. Alicia drove her car to Nicki's conel Island. They sat down ordering some food. So how's it feel to be out? It feels normal, just becuase I'm always right back in. "Well not this time" Alicia reassure her. Before you did'nt have anybody but them niggas on the street and they were'nt helping you in any type of way. Now you have me, your little sis, and I'm not going to let you go astray again. Alyssa's smile was endless that day. She never really had real family by her side it felt good to know her sister did'nt want to give up on her. Their food finally came, Alicia sat and told Alyssa about Niles and how they met and everything that went down to the day. Alyssa was sucked in the story, Aw ya'll sound like soul mates. Alicia shook her head, soul mates would'nt have to lie to eachother. Lil sis aint no relationship perfect. Everybody lie and go through downs but they get back up and keep on pushing. I don't know, this lie was big and serious, followed by plenty of other lies. I mean he really had me fooled. Alicia got angry just thinking about her and Niles revealing conversation. You should forgive him. Yall have a child togather and you only live once. He never cheated from what you say and he would carry the world for you and your daughter. sounds like a winner to me. He had his motives shit if I had the chance I'd kill Pyscho too. Our father was no good man.! You should be lucky you was shield away from that. Alicia set for a second thinking about what she said. Wondering if she had grown up like all of them did, that including Niles, would she have a different opinion about the decision he and all them for that matter choose to make.

Alicia and Alyssa decided to head to the house. Your going to love Ariana. She is such a character, you'll see. They enter the house, "Moma!" ALicia called out. Moma? You didn't tell me she'd be here. Yeah With everything going on, I packed me and Ariana's things and came to moma house. "What girl?" Margrete say walking in the living room seeing Alyssa. Margrete felt a sence warmth inside, seeing her daughter for the first time in 26 years. She was full of raw emotion. She didn't want to take her eye's off of her. A smile grew on her face, but yet there was still so much unresolved emotions between them. "I think I'm going to go!" Alyssa say walking to the door. but Alicia stopped her wait were you going? Anywere but here, not with her.! "Alyssa wait," Margret say rushing over to her! You don't have to go, please! "Oh now you care Margrete!" Alyssa say with anger and tears in her eye's. What do you mean? I've always cared about you and all your siblings. Yeah but I was your biggest dissappointment! You were never a disappointment. Margrete understood were it all was coming from. Alyssa I love you, I loved you then too! "You made mistakes but I blamed myself for that for so long." Margrete say crying. Margrete through everything that was going on, Did you ever once ask me, how I felt? What I was going through? Why I was acting out the way I was? I wanted your attention so bad but I could never get it becuase it was always at the bottom of a bottle. Margrete looked up in shock but she was right. The only time I got your attention was when I acted out and even then you tore me to shreds. I was bitter for so long, wondering why could'nt you protect me, The way you protected Alicia! Alyssa began to bawl, trying to contain her tears. I became you in a nutshell, On the streets trying to survive.! You let us out,You did'nt protect us mom, That's why our brother's are dead. "Stop it Alyssa!" Margrete say turning away from her. It's the truth, after you lost Myles daddy and the baby you was carrying. You slipted away. You say you cared but it felt like you stopped careing. Do you know how it feels to be a child taking care of her mother becuase she can't get up a day to take care of herself. Every night you were drunk and careless. You did this Margrete! "Don't you think I know that?" Margrete yell. Unable to hold it in any longer. Dammit Alyssa your not the only one who had a hard life. I did too! Your father was like poison in my soul, he ripped me up inside. I was damaged before I met him but he added greatly to it. I don't know what else I could say to get you to forgive me, But I'm sorry.! I'm so sorry Alyssa I'm sorry.! I lost My sons and I lost you too.! I regreted my actions for a long time.! I'm sorry I was'nt there to protect you like I should've been. If I could go back and change things I would.! I promise I would but I can't. Margrete stopped for a second trying to contain herself. She took a long breath continueing, I want you to forgive me, It don't have to me now and it don't have to be tomorrow. I love you Alyssa and I always will no matter what you decide. It's never to let to start over. I'm here now Baby! I'm here now! Alyssa began to cry again, shaking her head as her mom walked up to her to hug her. Alyssa finally recieved her hug, dropinginto her arms wrapping them tight around her mother . Margrete did the same, as if she didn't want to let her go. She felt as though a weight was lifted off her shoulders, But she knew they still had a long rode to go. Alicia stood in the corner crying, not relizing how intense things were for them. She was truely counting her blessings. She could'nt wait to introduce Ariana to her sister.
