So I got home 5 minutes later & I waited for my phone to reach 50%. So about an hour later I turned my phone on & I waited & waited but I didn't receive a call. My mum was meant to be at home 30 minutes earlier but she delayed, so I just started cleaning my room & the bathroom because me and Tiana really made a huge mess.
So it had been a few hours later, my feet were aching & my eyes were hella heavy, I was so bored & I had nothing to do so I went to lay in my bed. Eventually I fell asleep.
4 hours later I woke up, but my mum still wasn't there. I ran downstairs to the living room only to see my older brother sitting on the couch, with his leg up smoking weed. He looked at me then looked away and didn't even utter a single word. My brother and I have never really had a relationship, he's always been disobedient and does the opposite mum tells him to do. Jamil is darkskin and tall with cornrows on his head, he really did take after our dad.
Me: So after a whole 4 days without telling me where you went to or checking up on me especially when mums not here you decide to appear out of the blue and not call me?
Jamil says nothing and kisses his teeth.
Me: Fucking idiot
Jamil: Ay listen to me. I ain't got time to listen to all your bullshit. D'you understand. Mans not taking no insults from you Bruv. Just know I'm making money in support of mum and dad not being here you ungrateful bitch.
Me: And if anything had happened to me?
At this point Jamil was just staring at me blankly.
Me: They would ask you, exactly.
I ran back upstairs into my room with a temper. I had a look at my phone but I still hadn't received any phone calls or messages. I put my phone on silent then fell asleep again.
It was 3Am and I was beginning to wake up again but what really woke me up was the shouting and the echoing downstairs. I checked my phone for the time and with so much confusion I began to run down the stairs. My heart began to beat so fast I had never had this experience at this time of the night before...
Out of nowhere I heard two. Loud. Bangs...
My body began to shake to the point where even my breathing began to lose pattern. I reached to the bottom of the stairs and at that moment....
my heart broke.
There was my mum... My own mother... Lifelessly laying in a pool of her own blood.
