"Mani you need some dick in your life" Lani says

" No thankyou, there is no need for you to be this blunt with me cause I called you out for having phone sex with your wife while you're work"

" Dont hate ma, go get yourself some" She chuckles

" Whatever"

" Hey Ma"

" Hi child what brings you by here?" Lani says

" My friends and I wanna go to the movies so imma need some money"

" Here is a 100, dont spend it all at once" Lani says

" I'll try not too"

" Mani this is my daughter, Roxanne she goes to the same school as your daughter"

" Nice to meet you Ms. Normani"

" Likewise"

" You're K's mom right?"

" Yes, what did she do this time?"

" Oh nothing, it's what has been happening to her"

" What happened to her, is she okay?"

" Her boyfriend Nate, has been hitting her"

" What?"

" Its like he has brainwashed her or something because I keep on telling her to leave him and she doesnt want too"

" Hey mom" Kierra walks through the door

" Baby why didnt you tell me that this Nate guy has been hitting you?"

"She told you didnt she? I told you to stay out of my fucking business Roxy.I am not interested in you, I do not like girls"

" This has nothing to do with me, instead it's me trying to save your ass from getting killed"

" I dont need you to save me from anything you dyke" .

Roxy is fuming now

" Kierra apologize now"

" I will do no such thing, I'm going home I thought I would catch a ride with you but it's obvious you got other plans. I can't wait for my 16th birthday so I can get my own car" She storms off

" Roxy I'm so so sorry. Please accept my apology on behalf of my daughter"

" Its okay Ms. Normani she doesnt know better. I'll catch you later mama" She kisses her mother's cheek and leaves

" Mani you need to get that child under control before it's too late" Lani says

" I'm trying I don't know what else to do she said that I havent been spending much time with her so that's the reason for her reactions but I've been trying Lani I don't know what else to do"

" I think you should take her to a counselor that's my advice to you. I'll see you tomorrow" She rubs her bestfriend's shoulder lightly.
