Raw Love

Listen

When I woke up the next day I could barely see anything because my eyes were swollen shut. I finally was able to check the time and saw that it was almost 3. I have work at 4 today. I don't even want to go in but I know nobody can fill in for me since I am filling in for someone already.

Trying to stand was the second hardest thing I did. My legs were so weak and my chest hurt when I was breathing. I made it to the bathroom to drown my face in water at an attempt to make it seem less dead. When I finally had my face at a somewhat acceptable color I decided to grab my work clothes to change. 

I took a little over a 30 minute shower to try and get out the funk I was in, though my showers are always long. I know I am going to take another shower after work but I don't care, least I know I care about being clean.

I send for the Lyft before I'm almost done and get ready to go downstairs.

"Kay Kay where you going", lil Warren asks me.

"Work", I say going to the fridge and take out my Pure Leaf Extra Sweet Tea.

"No you not", he says standing next to me.

"Warren yes I am", I say and walk past him.

"No you not", he says getting louder.

"I am", I turn around and say again.

"No you not", he yells.

"Why are you yelling Warren, I am going to work", I say louder.

"Kay Kay you not leaving", he yells and then screams.

"Why you got him yelling", big Warren says from behind me.

"I don't he yelling for no reason", I say irritated.

"He don't yell for no reason, leave him alone", he says.

"Yes he does and you leave me alone", I say.

"Don't be disrespectful", he says.

"Don't tell me what to do 'cause why are you even here anyways", I say.

"What you mean why I'm here", he says.

"I said what I said", I say and go to the door. My Lyft is a minute away. Good.

"Brandi you need to get your daughter 'cause she being rude again", big Warren says. Brandi came down the stairs and is looking at me like she has a problem.

"The fuck you mean get your daughter", I say getting angry. 

"You need to get a job and a damn life", I say, "you...hell both of ya'll make less than me and I work a fast food job".

"Stop being a bitch Kayla", Brandi yells.

"Says the bitch herself", I yell back. My phone goes off saying the Lyft is out front and I open the door and slam it behind me. All I can hear is Warren fat ass mouth going off about me and Brandi too. Fuck them both honestly.

When I get in the Lyft my phone goes off and I see it's Javon.

*You coming in right*, he sent.

*Yea Im in my Lyft now*, I send.

*Vencott said hurry up*, he sends.

*Tell Vencott not to fucking rush me*, I send. I hate being rushed like I'm coming. I can't fly there.

*Ou fiesty, I like that*, he sends. Oh I-

*Oh i-*, I send back.

*Lol*, he sends back.
