Chapter 34
3 months later...
|Mikhail "Khail" Daniels|
It's been three months since my birthday party. I've just been going thru the emotions of my mom being out of jail and here. I'm stuck in a rock and a hard because I'm supposed to meet her for lunch, but then again I don't want to.
"What's on your mind?" Pops asked.
"My mom." He nodded.
"Khail go talk to her. There are some things you don't know about your mama that only she has the right to tell you. When you do don't give her a hard time. Listen to what she has to say before you say anything. No matter how bad or sad it may be. Listen to everything she has to say. Do you hear me?" I could sense the different emotions by the way his voice sounded. He sounded mad, sad, and like he wanted to cry. I know he still love her there's no doubt about that. I don't know their past, but I'm sure I'm going to find out.
"Yes sir." I said. He nodded before walking out the room.

I'm sitting here looking at my mom at the table. I'm nervous at what I might find out today. I silently prayed and took a few deep breathes before I got out the car.
"Here goes nothing." I say to myself.
I make my way inside Applebee's. I walked straight to the table ignoring the hostess.
"I thought you weren't going to come." She said. I slide into the booth.
"I wasn't honestly, but I had a talk with dad so I'm here." I said. She nodded.
"Mikhail I'm sorry for hurting you psychically and emotionally. You were the only person I had to myself and I didn't want to lose you. So at the time I did want I thought was right, but it turned out so wrong." She wiped her tears.
"Then why did you?" I asked.
"Growing up I lost my parents and had to go live with my uncle. He beat and raped me up until Keith finally saved me from that hell hole. Keith, Lonnie, Cosmo, Rony, Diggy, and I all used to be best friends. We were all in the gang together. I know what you thinking why did I do your dad like that when I was doing the same thing. Honestly I don't know. Anyway my uncle used to beat me so bad that I'd end up in the hospital. When Keith finally found out he took me in. He loved and cared for me just like my parents used to do, but I knew Keith loved me like I loved him I was too insecure about my body and my weight. I used to cut myself to numb the pain. I even tried to commit suicide a few times." Listening to this broke my heart. I never knew she went thru all of this.
"What made you get help?"
"I didn't." She said. I was confused now.
"But you said dad helped you."
"He did, but when he did find out I ran. I knew what he was capable of, but I still ran. When we were in high school your dad and uncles except Adrian were feared by everyone. They shot first and don't give a damn about asking questions. You fuck up their money they fuck you up plain and simple. So when Keith found out what my uncle was doing he made me pack everything I valued and it went from there."
"So how did you both get together?"
"We weren't together at first I put Keith thru hell and high water because I believed he was using me or felt sorry for me, but he didn't he genuinely loved me. I said some things that I knew would hurt him. But it didn't hurt anyone but myself. He ended up dating this girl and when I say I was mad I was mad." I laughed at that.
