Hayden's POV
I've been tryna talk to Ckyra all day but she won't answer my calls or nun
"Hay, grandma coming to get me now" Tatum says coming into my room
"Ight"
"Are you gonna come with me?"
"Nah. Sorry I got stuff to do today"
"Oh okay" she frowns
"I'll try come by tomorrow tho"
"K"
"Come ere"
She walks over to me sitting next to me on my bed "Whas up?"
"I miss momma... and I feel like I hardly be seeing you anymore. I'm at grandmas most of the time and I just want things to go back to how it was" she says looking down
I wrap my arm around her pulling her into me. I sigh "I'm sorry t. I've just been tryna work so I can provide for us. I swear imma try be with you more"
"But can't I stay here while you working?"
"Nah. I can't leave you here at night like that. You know I work late"
"I know"
"I promise imma spend the day with you tomorrow"
"Okay" she rubs her eye "do you love me?"
I unwrap my arm from around her taken back but what she just said "Tatum" she looks at me. Her eyes are red and glossy "you know I love you so much. You are my entire world. And I'll put that on everything. The love I have for you is mad. I would do anything for you girl never forget okay?"
"Okay. I'm sorry"
"What you sorry for?"
"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything"
"Nah I'm good. I just wanna make sure you good"
"Tatum!" I hear my grandma yell coming up the stairs
"I'm Hayden's room"
"Hey my babies. Why y'all looking like that"
"It's nothing" I say
"Hm. You ready?" She asks Tatum
"Yea" Tatum hugs me tightly "bye"
I hug her back "love you sis"
She gets off my bed going into her room to get her stuff
"Hayden you better be careful out here"
"I'm straight ma"
She found out I was in the streets some how but she knows there's nothing she can do to stop me
"Still don't know why you can't just get a normal job"
"Ma we talked about this before. If I did that I won't have enough to still be living here and I don't want to move out the house both me and t were raised in"
"Whatever you better not get yourself hurt. I don't want to have to bury my grandchild"
I get up hugging her "ma I'll be cool"
"Boy get up off me"
I hold her a little tighter "I know you like it old lady"
"Don't make me lick you upside the head" (lick means smack)
I chuckle letting her go "you know I'm playing you ont look a day over 20"
"And that's right" she chuckles
