The next morning Dekia was woken up out of her sleep by Deedy shaking her awake . " Dekia , Dekia Get up " She said shaking her daughter who wasn't budging , she was worn out from partying the night before . " Dekia " Deedy yelled shaking her harder causing her to finally open her eyes.

" What , damn ? " Dekia asked in aggravation .

" Your brothers and sisters are hungry " Deedy said causing Dekia to sit up and look at her in disbelief .

" I know good and damn well you didn't wake me up for that ..... you're they mama fix them some fucking food " Dekia snapped .

This was one of the main things about her mama that made her mad . Whenever she would decide to actually be home , she would sit inside all day doing absolutely nothing and wanted Dekia to perform her motherly duties for her but then she would get mad when her children obeyed and respected Dekia and not her .

" Dekia you know I can't cook " Deedy said causing Dekia to smack her teeth . She didn't know what men saw in her mama , yeah she was pretty with a nice body but that was the extent to what she had to offer .

" Let me ask you this Deedy , what was the point of you going to the extreme to take them from Big Zo's house ? Everyday he had breakfast , lunch , and dinner for them to eat and it was cooked meals not fast food like you keep feeding them . You haven't even been here for the two weeks that they've been here so what was really the reason ? to hurt Big Zo ? you're hurting your kids not him that's what you need to understand " Dekia stressed .

" Are you going to fix them some food or not ? " Deedy asked not in the mood to be lectured by her seventeen year old daughter .

" Yeah ima fix them some food but i'm doing it for them not for you " She fussed as she got from out of the bed . She went to the bathroom to pee and take care of her everyday daily hygiene which was brushing her teeth and washing her face before walking into the front of her house where all her brothers and sisters were .

" Destiny go put on some sweatpants " She told her fourteen year old sister who was sitting on the floor in a pair of pajama shorts. Usually she let them wear what they wanted but whenever her mama had a man in the house she made sure they didn't wear anything too small .

" Okay " Destiny said as she got up to go do what her big sister said .

She settled for making them cheese grits , eggs , toast , and hot sausage . She woke up Leila to eat and fixed everyone a plate except for her mama and Calvin making sure there wasn't any food leftover for them to eat .

She didn't care about feeding her and her siblings so why should she care about feeding her and her nigga . She grabbed all of them a bottle of orange juice before joining them in the front room where they were watching The Incredibles 2 on Netflix .

" Dekia why didn't you wash the clothes ? " She heard her mama yelling from the laundry room causing her to roll her eyes to the ceiling.

" Why didn't you do it ? " She yelled back , she was getting on her everlasting nerves .

" You know I don't know how " She said in a duh tone .

" So let me get this straight , you made Calvin spent three thousands dollars on a brand new washer and dryer set but you never had any intentions of washing clothes ? Just like last year you had Mike redecorate the whole kitchen that you never cook in . I'm sick of this shit man , i'm only seventeen and you want to me do everything while you run the streets and chase behind these niggas . You should've let us live with Big Zo if you didn't want to be a parent " Dekia snapped.
