Lyric ♡
Hurting on the inside, trying to keep myself together on the outside. I pulled my hair into a high messy bun. I fixed my shirt that kept sliding up from my four month, belly bump and sighed. I was growing out of all my clothes, damn.
I put on my north face jacket that would soon to be to small for me and slid on my ugg boots. I took one last look in the mirror , that sat in the basement of a church , where I kept my bags of clothes and stepped out of the building. I looked around me and seen nothing but white. It was snowing as if it were a blizzard, and I had nowhere to go. I decided to use the minute phone I had gotten from the church.
I dialed the only number I could call , which was the only piece of family I had left.
Lauren ♡
"That's my sister ! My fucking sister, out there on the streets." I screamed at my mother who was standing on the other side of the island.
"She's a fucking disgrace to this family , Lauren and you know it. Me and your father raised you both better than that." She said raising her voice a little, then continued. "I wish you would follow in that bitch's footsteps.. I dare you." My mother spoke with her teeth clenched together and angered tone in her voice. "Get out of my face, I don't want to hear another word about her." She spoke again. I sighed heavy and headed to my room.
I hated her so much for letting my big sister suffer out in the cold. She wanted us to be this big perfect family, living in this perfect house, getting perfect grades and pretending to be this happy family that we weren't.
I slammed my door behind me falling into my bed soon after. "Buzz" "Buzz" I pulled my phone out my pocket answering it, putting it to my ear.
"Hello?" I answered. "Don't ever slam another door in this house, or you'll be out of this mutha fucka' understand? " My mom angrily spoke through the phone and I rolled my eyes. "Yes."
"Yes what?"
She continued. I hated her so much. "Yes ma'am. " and with that she hung up. I threw my phone across my bed and thought about my sister who was no where to be found in months. My phone buzzed again. I couldn't believe she heard my phone hit the headboard. "Hello, Im sorry ma I didn't mean to bump." The caller giggled "Mama must got you shook." I let her voice sink in before speaking.
"Lyric ! Where are you? Oh my god I miss you sister. "
"Im good sister , I have a lot to tell you.." and with that she told me not to worry about her and continue to do good in school, that she loved me and that she and the baby were doing just fine. Even though she was keeping her personals in a recently closed church, they were going to be okay. I listened to what she had to say and tried to be most comforting. "But I do need two little favors." She asked.
"And whats that? "
"I need to borrow umm, $5,000 so that I can move into this apartment and get a lil situated. It's cold out here and I can't bare to sleep another day in that fucking basement." She continued. "I'll pay you back, I promise as soon as I get on my feet."
I thought about it for a quick second. It wasn't a problem with the money, we were extremely wealthy because of my step dad and our allowance comes in thousands by the week. But the problem was that my mom could find out and I'll be out in the cold with her.
But this was my sister, I'll do anything for her, so I had to risk it.
"Okay , when do you need it?" I asked.
"I need it in three hours, I was going to view the apartments at five o'clock so yeah a lil before then. " She told me. We planned on meeting up at StarLights Diner so that I could get some food into her system.

I scanned the room , looking for my older sister to wobble her ass towards the table. But she still was a no show. I had been sitting here for almost an hour now and she hasn't shown her face. That's until I saw a brown skinned girl brush the snow out of her hair, she looked frustrated and exhausted. My eyes went down to her shape, she had curves , she seemed an little chunky in the face and what seemed like a belly bump and by then I could tell that was my sister.
