Those aching words drowned into my head, as i sat on the hard, half broken couch, as my mom screamed on the top of her lungs, fearing what she might do next.
Honestly, i don't remember my mom showing any type of affection for me. Growing up, my mom didn't really care for me at all. She practically ignored me and my brother, she was only nice to this girl that used to come and play with me, or sometimes she would eat dinner with us. A man used to drop her off, and she would watch the young girl for a couple days, but she would hardly show any affection towards me & my brother.
I was 6 at the time, she was in fact 3 years older than me, i only remembered her as Baby K.
I remembered her having long silky puffs, that would bounce every time she ran. She would always wear pink, or yellow dresses, that would flow in every angle. After a couple of weeks of seeing her we grew closer, she was like a big a sister! Me and her talked about any and everything, she would share me little stories about her favorite cartoons or funny stories with her friends. She never really talked about her parents or the strange man that drops her off.
Unfortunately for my luck we stopped hearing from her after a month of seeing her. The day before her disappearance i overheard yelling and things breaking, while me and my brother were sleeping. I snuck to see the source. Which was my mom.
Every since, my mama has been on a roller coaster. When she gets down, she takes drugs to make her go back up.
She blames me and my brother Domo as an excuse to continue doing drugs, as the years progressed she've gotten worse. She's much skinnier now, she barely dresses anymore, and i barely see her.
Domo would often buy me the things i need, he would also give me money. I don't know what he does for a living, but i never question it. After all he is the only immediate family i have, besides Val.
Today was just one of those days, my mom would come home drugged outta of her mind, and just talk crap about me, or even beat me. I really don't hate my mother for all the bad things she had done to me.
Its funny. Even after all of this, i'll still love her no matter what. In fact i don't hate anyone, not one single person.
"GET OUT! YOU STUPID BITCH!" She spat, sweat escaping her face.
I looked up at her, and looked back down to the floor. I shrugged as i got up, while i reached for the door i felt a stinging sensation on my left cheek.
I slowly turned, just to face the evil eyes of my drugged mother. I gave her a look of pure anger, her eyes were dark.. her pupils were dilated i'd hardly recognize her anymore. Even though she was cruel to me for as long as i could remember, every since Baby K left the spark in her eyes vanished.
"Mama. I love you, i hope you have a good day" I mumbled before walking out of the door. I say this any chance i get, hoping her answer would be different, but it's the same every time.
"GET OUT NOW! DUMB BITCH" She screamed once more.
Luckily for me, my bestfriend lives only 2 blocks away. She helps me whenever i need it, that's why i adore her so so much.
10 Minutes Later...
I knocked lightly but loud enough for her to hear me. Her parents is on the wealthier side, so in result they go on vacation a lot more frequently. I'm guessing they aren't gonna be here for a few weeks.
She opened the door, her straight jet black hair swaying as she did. She look at me for a second, with a confused, yet concerned look. I nodded my head at her, Her now confused look vanished into sympathy in a matter of seconds.
"c'mon" She said lowly as i nodded.
The atmosphere was tense, Val hated mama to the core. Mama does as well, it's kinda self explanatory. Val knows what type of person she is, in-fact my Ma broke down begging Val's parents for money to buy drugs. Every since then, she wasn't allowed to step one foot around Valerie or her parents house. Val's parents understood my situation, they also were a big help.
We walked to her room, she sat on the bed as i sat on one of her cushions. Sighing to myself while playing with the zipper to my jacket, Val finally got the motivation to speak, unsure on how to approach an situation like this, even though she'd seen it a hundred times.
"I'm so sorry Uni" She said teary eyed, I looked up at her and shook my head in disagreement.
"No Val. You shouldn't be sorry, none of this is your fault" I said as i stared blankly at her.
she sighed "Yeah i know that but, i feel as if i'm not even doing enough to help" She said while sighing heavily, i looked down not knowing what else to say.
"It's nothing you can do about it, she'll always find her way around. I guess i'll just have to wait until a miracle happens" I said lowly chuckling at the last part.
Before she could say anything else her phone dinged.
"Oop- girl it's a party at 8" She said as i hummed in response.
"But...my bestie needs me, so that doesn't matter right now" She said, i rolled my eyes at her sarcastic remark, but i knew she only care for my well-being first. I hadn't been to a party in a while, i need to relax.
"Actually that sounds like a good idea" I said as her eyes got wide. She gave me the "you deadass?" look.
"Who is this? and what have you done with Unique" She said as we both laughed.
"Nah for real though, i wanna escape for awhile " I said as she nodded.
"Ok well we got to get ready, so we can get dem bitchesssssss" She said as i laughed.
"WE UP" We both said together.
