Worth the pain

Chapter 1 💞

~Dream~
*phone call*
"Juvie where you at I'm hungry you've been gone all day damn" i told my brother while looking through the cabinets
"I'm on my way home Layla what you wanna eat" he asked already knowing I wanted hot wings
"Juvie you know what I want"
"Alayla im tired of hot wings but Im almost home" he laughed
" bye I love you" I said
"Love you too Layla" he told me before hanging up I threw my phone on the couch and for some reason I felt the need to look out the window
And as I'm looking out the window I see a black van pull up and start letting off at one of the crackheads that sits in front of our building
They shot the women like 5 or 6 times but she looked like my mama so I ran downstairs
I quickly knew it was my mother
"Somebody help" I screamed
"please somebody"
"Mama I'm so sorry please don't go" I screamed at the top of my lungs while holding my mamas lifeless body
And then I felt someone grab me
"Layla I know I know" Juvie said pulling me away from our mother
"She ain't do shit for us anyway" he said trying to pull me in our building but I wasn't having it
"JUSIN THATS STILL OUR MAMA IT DOES MATTER IF SHE WAS A CRACKHEAD" I said trying to pull away from him

Layla's POV
I woke up from my dream screaming and sweating super hard
"What's wrong Alayla" Juvie busted in my room and looked at me
"It's the dream again huh" he said grabbing clothes out of my drawer
It's been almost 3 months since my mama passed away and I keep having the same recurring nightmare about how it happened
"Layla go get in the shower" he handed me my clothes
"Justin is it my fault" I asked getting up out of the bed
"I'm not finna do this with you today you know it's not your fault our mother was on drugs really bad and owed people money" he said
"I guess juvie I'm just gonna go shower can you "please wash my sheets and stuff" I asked leaving out of my room to shower

Mykel's POV

"Mykel" I heard my mama yell from downstairs
"Ma'am" I got no response back "ma'am" I said again just a little louder because maybe she ain't hear me the first time "this bitch" I mumbled while rolling my eyes

"Mykel I know yo black add hear me calling you"
She yelled I swear she be pissing me off man
I quickly made my way downstairs "what mama" I asked mentally rolling my eyes.

"I don't know who the fuck you thought you was talking to but I need you fix that lil attitude real quick.

"I'm sorry mama I just had a long night but what you need" I said calming down a lil bit

"Can you please go to check on me Ashanti Kids I know they going through a lot right now"

Ms Ashanti was my mamas best friend but she just passed away a few months ago in a drive by shooting she left two kids behind a 16 year old named Alayla and a 25 year named Justin but everyone knows him by juvie

"Sure mama anything for them do you want me to bring anything" I asked grabbing my jacket off the couch
"Yes baby I baked a pan of peach cobbler it's in the oven" she said pointing towards the oven
I grabbed the cobbler and got in my 2019 black challenger
20 minutes later
