Where should i start?

"Mom ill meet you there ok?" I said into the phone.

"Jalina yo ass better be there!"

"I will." I hung up sighing. Its been a rough two years. Im living on my own in college and slang drugs here and there for my parents. My son stays with his dad now since i cant afford to take car of him. My parents refuse to raise another child so. I pulled to my son school because he was in the play. Hus dad put him in all year round school. Last he had a play i couldn't make it and everybody talked bad to me saying a wasnt a good mother and that shit hurt. I am a good mother. I walked in and saw my family standing to the side of the cafeteria.  I walked over and spoke.

"Hey y'all. "

"Im glad you made it this time." Jamie said.

"I dont have time for this shit with you." I turned around to go stand somewhere else but was stopped by my dad.

"Jamie if you keep saying stuff to her we are going to have a problem. Act your age. " he said to her them turned in my direction. " stop running from us we love you no matter what is said."

"Sorry." I said and stayed put.

After the play

"Mommy!" Jermain yelled. I wanted to cry because i havent been able to spend time with him in like three weeks.

"Baby! You did so good. " i said kissing him.

"Thank you. Mommy can i please come with you please!" He begged. I looked at his dad. I really wanted to take him eith me but i have to do some stuff.

"Baby i."

"Mommy you dont love me anymore! " he ran off crying. I had tears falling. It hurt like hell to see my baby like that and to say that.

"Jalina its ok." His dad said. "Come on lets go get him." He told me. We went after him. He was in the hallway crying his little eyes out.

"Baby i do love you. You can come with me ok. I promise that you are the best son that anyone could have nut your mine." I smile at him and he smile at me. I started attacking him with kisses and he started laughing crazy.

"Ok mommy ok!"  I stopped and we got up to leave.

At the store.

"Mommy can we go to the movies? "

"Yea baby when do you want to go?" I asked.

"Tonight."

"Ok well lets finish getting you food for the week baby." I told him.

Im on my way to the store to get food because my mom is sick. All these streets bring back memories.  I pulled up and started getting stuff. I was walking down one row 9 when i heard a little boy ask his mom can they go to the movies. He sounded so cut so i went over to the bect row and i stopped. I didnt think i would see her again and jermain is taking her skin color but has someone elses looks. He looked at me and started smiling.
"Mommy look its july! She so pretty." He said. Jalina looked at him funny then up to where he was pointing. She looked at me and ut seemed like we both wanted to run into each others arms. I turned around and left.  Im not ready to speak to her. I miss her so much and i still love her but we left off so bad. Ill get food somewhere else.

"That's right baby." Some random guy said as i did my pole dance.
"Alright everyone give it up for nasty j!" The dj yelled as i got all my money and left off the stage. I went to the dressing room to change do i could go home.
"Girl you not staying?" This hoe named BB asked.
"No i have school so i need to go."
"Um well boss said that after stage dances you need to do three lap dances before you leave. " i ignored her and kept putting my clothes on. Boss knows wassup . I left and got in my 2001 honda. Its all i could afford. I pulled up to the projects where i stay. Life for me is fucked up. Once i realized my dad wasn't coming. I left and walked around until i saw a strip club. I walked in and to get the job i fucked the boss the best i could. Once i told him my age he was scared i would tell the police. I just needed a job. I got it and asked him if i could just get an advance in pay to get a place. I go to school and all of that. I trust no one and i miss my family.  Sometimes i call my mom just to hear her say hello then hang up. Im just scared.

"Good. Jermain stays with his dad until finish college and get some money."

"Are you sure because she ran from me just a few days ago"
"Yes. Sure" i showed her around and i fell a lil happy. July still loves me!
