Chapter Twelve

Noelani

"I'm thinking about growing my locs"I told my mom as we ate some ice cream. Bastet was with Dave. I thought about them two all day today. I was thinking what if Dave took my daughter here and there? What if Dave did this in front my daughter? What if a shoot out happened? God I need to stop worrying. But then again, I need to keep on worrying.

"That's on you. All I know is that I don't want you going back to shooting mother fuckers over something stupid"my mother spoke.

"Ain't nun I do is stupid mother. Getting pregnant for Dave was stupid but I was so in love with him"I smiled.

"You still is"my mother smirked.

"Mom....."

"You remember that night when you was 7 months pregnant with Bastet and you had some kind of nightmare"my mom said.

At first I didn't remember what happened but then it started coming back to me. I remember that night.

"I had fun. Did you had fun at the party?"my mother ask me as I took off my heels. Why the hell was i wearing heels?

"Yeah. I had tons of fun"I said being sarcastic. "Not really mom"

"Why not?"she narrowed her eyebrows.

"Your fake friends ain't shit. You was sitting there telling a whole lie about our lives"I spoke. "I don't want to be somebody I'm not"

"I'm sorry noelani, but I had to do it"she said. "You already know how they was gonna look at us if we told them the truth"

"I wouldn't care"i walked away from her. I went to my room so I can undress and get comfortable.

I took off my dress looking at my pregnant stomach. Im 7 months pregnant with my baby girl. I decided to name her Bastet. Mom thought it was stupid but she saw the real reason why I wanted to name her Bastet. I always wanted to name my kids after a goddess or a god.

I didn't even thought about taking a shower. I just laid down in the bed exhausted from today. All the ripping and running around town. Trying to hide away from a gang that wants me. God.

As I laid down closing my eyes, I didn't hear the room door opening. I just fell asleep acting like shit was okay. But it wasn't.

"Despierta princesa (wake up princess)" I felt a gun on my temple. I look up at this man with a mask on. He stared back at me.

"levántate lentamente (get up, slowly)" the man mumble. It's crazy that I know what he's saying. I got up slowly looking at him.

"What is it that yo...."he pistol whipped me and cover my mouth pulling me off the bed to the floor.

"donde esta martin (where is martin)"

"Martin?"I held on to my stomach. "I don't know"I shook my head.

"deja de mentir perra, ¿dónde está él? (Stop lying bitch, where is he?)"

I didn't know what else to say. Should I say he's home. Should I say he's dead. What the fuck can I say to protect myself. I really don't know where martin is.

"tu perra muerta (your dead bitch)"the man raised his gun at me aiming it at my head. Who the fuck let him in? How he know where our house was?

"Psst. Aye"I heard my mother then a gunshot rang out. The man fell on the ground next to me bleeding out. I quickly got up looking down at him. "What I told you about dating crazy ass wiggas"

"Technically he was a migga. Mexican nigga"I chuckle.

"Not funny"my mother shook her head. "I'll call the clean up crew in a minute. In the meantime, sleep in the guest room"

"Fine"

"How did you know that the guy was in my room?"I chuckled.

"I heard someone talking in your room. But I didn't know he had the gun aiming at you. Was just trying to protect you"

"But on the real note mom. I was telling the truth about the dinner party"I looked at her.

"I know you was. I'm sorry about that night"she sigh. She shook her head. I look up at the building showing Ashlee picture.

"Look at this shit"I spoke. My mom looked where I was looking. I bust out laughing at this bitch.

"Ugly ass bitch. She dying either tonight or tomorrow"

"We will need a plan"
