Romeo Is Bleeding

16

"Baby you don't need to leave!" I heard my mother yell to Trey.
I guess it was finally time for him to move on.
"Debra I don't wanna hear it... You're a whore. You disappeared for months abandoning your daughter!" Trey yelled. "What kind of mother are you?" He opened the front door opening me up to all the drama.
"Trey." I say hugging him. "Your leaving?" I whined into his shoulders.
"Yeah Nova I am."
"You deserve better."
"No Nova you deserve better. She isn't fit to be a mother. When you leave here I suggest you don't look back." He kissed my forehead and grabbed the rest of his bags. "See you around Nova." And with that he left me all alone with her.
"So you guys fucked or something?" Debra asked me drinking a bottle of wine.
"Your disgusting. He was like a father to me. Considering I've never met my father is."
"Oh so you think you get with the enemy that your special?"
"I just came to get the rest of my stuff." I pushed passed her. Going upstairs to my room it seemed to be untouched.
"You know when you brother gets out he gonna kill you."
"Oh please Debra. Your son killed multiple people they have all the proof. He's not coming anywhere near me." It was silent. I kept packing my bags. I felt something touch my hair.
"You always had pretty hair. Your daddy had pretty hair too."
"Don't fucking touch me!" I pushed her away and called Romeo. "Baby come get me please."
He told me he was five minutes away.
"That little boyfriend of yours is cute. Spanish? Didn't think that was your type."
I stayed silent. There's nothing I need to say to her.
"So you not gonna talk?" She yelled. I went over to my vanity gettin my pictures. Next thing I know she grabbed the back of my head and banged it against the mirror. I dropped to the floor blood dripping down my face.
"Maybe your Baby will like you with an ugly face."
My head started hurting really bad as I laid on the floor.
"Nova !" I heard Romeo enter the house. Please come upstairs baby. I thought to myself. He opens the my room door and pulls his gun out.
He points it at Debra and shoots her in the arm. My mother falls to the ground while Romeo picks me up.
"I told you to let me come with you." He cried into my ear.
"I'm fine baby. I'm fine." I wipe the tears off his face. I never seen Romeo cry before. It was beautiful.
He walked us to his car. We didn't say anything the entire ride. He just stood on his phone speaking in Spanish. More like yelling.
"Pablo and the guys are gonna pick up the rest of your stuff and bring it over." I started laughing. "What's funny my love?
"Pablo isn't even Spanish he's as black as they come." Which was true Pablo was straight from Jamaica, came here to live with uncle.
"Man if you don't stop hating on my friends."
"Speaking of friends... Haven't seen James in a while. Where is he?"
"My dad called for him in Cuba. He should be back in a week. His mother is dying."
"That's sad. Where they close?"
"Closer than hair to the scalp."
"How did you two even meet?"
"Is your head ok? You sure are curious today?"
"It hurts. Distract me."
Romeo sighed. "I was born in Florida. My father met my mother on a business trip. They fucked and she got pregnant. He found out brought her to Cuba and kicked her out 6 months after I was born. Me and James grew up together. His father and mine were best friends until he died." He paused." We used to hate each until I shot him in the leg when we were 8. That was of course after he shot me in my arm. Our fathers were very proud."
I was dying of laughter. "So you were always a savage?"
"Always baby." He stopped at the light and kissed me.
"When did you see your mother again?"
"When I was 14 my father moved me here with her to expand the business. I had no idea what she even looked like until I was 12 and meeting her at 14 only made her a stranger."
"I want to meet her. I mean you met my mother."
"Its kinda the same. Our mothers are very similar. Perra tonta sin moral . "
"English dude."
"Dumb bitch with no morals." He said. I just nodded in agreement enjoying the comfortable silent. My mother is a dumb bitch.
