Lakira's Pov- Joey fell asleep on my stomach. I turned off the tv and slipped out of his grip. Before I left, I kissed his cheek and left a note. I looked at the time and saw it was 8:00. I grabbed my stuff and climbed out the window.
On my way to my house I got a text from Dre.

I have to go through that again? What the hell am I gonna do?
I walked into my house and started getting ready for bed. I let myself fall on my bed and stared at the ceiling. Joey wants me out and this is the best thing to do. But I could end up fucking up our relationship more.
My mind was spinning to the point where I got a headache. I got comfortable and tried to sleep.
I woke up to knocking on my door. I got up and grabbed my strap. I opened my door to see.. Coach Sky? She opened her mouth to speak, but then I woke up. Sweating again. Jesus.
I got comfortable again, but then I heard a knock on my door. I checked if I was awake before grabbing my strap.
I slowly walked to the door and opened it to see Coach Sky.
Lakira: Okay what the fuck Coach: Language! Lakira: We aren't in school and it's like 2am. Why are you here? Coach: Im sorry I just couldn't sleep. I just... I don't want you to think of your mother in that way Lakira: What do you mean? Coach: Well you see she had a good reason to leave Lakira: Uh huh Coach: Okay I'll cut the bullshit. Hi I'm your mother- Lakira: Yeah I got Coach: Okay wise ass let me explain Lakira: Oh please do Coach: So a year before I left you know how your grandma died? Lakira: Yeah? Coach: Well she was killed by someone Lakira: Who?
I looked at her with a serious face
Coach: Someone you're really close to. Anyways he killed her because he was in love with me and threatened to go aC/fter you if I didn't go for him so I left to protect you Lakira: Who was it? Coach: Baby you're not ready for that Lakira: Tell me now
She sighed wiping away her tears
Coach: C-Baby
My whole world just fell apart. C-Baby. The guy I thought was family. He's the reason why my life is like this. Why my mom left.
I was so angry. I got up and walked out of the house. Before I knew it I was at his house, banging on his door.
Lakira: C-Baby!!! Get your ass out here
He came out looking tired as fuck
C-baby: The fuck do you want? Lakira: You killed my grandma and drove my mom away. How the fuck could you do that to me? I was a fucking kid C-baby: Who told- Lakira: That doesn't matter. We finna settle this shit right the fuck now.
He smiled at me.
C-baby: You got that fire just like ya momma Lakira: We're gonna fight. I retire and you never come near me or my momma or anyone I care about again C-baby: Deal babygirl.
I squared up on him. I wanted nothing more than to just break his face. He started talking the most shit saying I was too pretty to fight. After a while I couldn't take it anymore. I ran up and punched the fuck out of him. I didn't stop. Every hit was filled with how mad I was. I felt someone pulled me away from him and hold me back. My tears finally cleared away and I could see. Dre.
Dre: Lakira stop. Look at me Lakira: He killed my grandma and threatened my mom Dre: Okay yeah but he's almost dea Lakira: Good! Dre: Get out of here. I'll take care of this.
I calmed down and left. All I could think about was how my life would be so much better without him.
I walked home and saw her sitting on my couch. She followed me to my room.
Coach: I'll go if you want Lakira: Please stay
I moved the blanket and let her lay down next to me. I felt really safe. Like I had a mother for once.
She stroked my hair and back. I felt her motherly embrace that made me happy. I fell asleep instantly finally having a mom.
