A Custody Battle In The Hood

Hi, I'm Aminata... I'm 15 years old. Today has had to be the longest day of work ever. I impatiently scooted through the crowd in attempt to clock out and be on my way home. Shift changes at McDonald's are the worst especially in rush out me traffic. I finnally swipe my card through the machine and head out the door. I live about 6 blocks from here and I walk, because I have no car. As I turn the corner of the third block I see lots of people standing around crowding a car that has obviously been in an accident, "oh well" I say to myself as I continueon to walk. I get to my building, and go up the half broken stairs. "God damn it, I'll be glad when yo fat ass mama come home to get you. You cry too fucking much." I hear my mama yelling from the door as I'm walking in. "Hey ma", I say. "Ami, get this fucking child before I kill her" my mama yells holding 8 month old daughter Jada... I grab my baby and from her smelling the alcohol coming from her mouth. ''Have you been drinking I asked her?'' ''Why don't you stay out my business? Take your daughter and get the hell out of me my face I got company coming.'' This shit is ridiculous she can stop drinking for a second even while she's taking care her own grandchild while I'm at work. I get Jada and we go upstairs. I run her a bath and sit her in the bouncer while I walk to the closet. I pick her a white and pink onesie with the words ''Sleeping Beauty'' written on it. I pair it with some pink and cheetah print booties and a pink baby Bonnet that was given to me at my baby shower. I put her in the sink and wash her body, when I'm done I dry, lotion her, and put her clothes on. Now, she's ready for bed. I pick Jada up and head downstairs to fix her a bottle. Damn we are on our last can of formula, I have to remember to get some more tomorrow.
