The Crystal in the Dust

Chapter Two

"Nahla get y'all dumb asses out of my house" my mother yelled.

I am so tired of her. She makes me sick to my stomach. She is my mother so I have no choice but to love her. I do not understand why she treats us this way. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child.

I got out of bed and went to my closet to pick out my outfit for school while ignoring my what she said. After I got dressed, I decided to straighten my hair before I woke up my lil sister Zamora. I know some of y'all is wondering how I can afford Brazilian bundles, the answer is simple, I work at footlocker during the day and a dancer at night to support my siblings and I.

Nahla"s outfit

Once I finished doing my hair, I went to wake up Zamora only to see my mom hand in ZaZa piggy bank.

"What are you doing mama" I said. My mother starred at me as she said "where is it"? I began to walk towards ZaZa while saying "Where is what mama? If you are looking for money, I do not have any".

Before I could wake up ZaZa, my mother grabbed my arm and squeezed it tightly while yelling "You think I was born yesterday bitch. Give me the damn money". I begin to snatch my arm away as I said, "I don't have any money I promise you I don't. All the yelling caused ZaZa to wake up crying as my brother ran in the room.

I picked up ZaZa as I was wiping her tears. I looked her in the eyes while saying everything will be ok. "Nahla just give her the money so she can stop all that damn yelling. It is too early for all this noise mane" said Raheem.

"Boy if you don't stop all that cussing. You are not grown up in here. Go finish getting ready for school lil boy. Raheem walked out the room without saying a word. Then I glanced at the clock on my sister dresser, Omg!!! we only got an hour before we have to leave for school. "Come on ZaZa, lets get you dressed lil mama". While we was trying to leave out the room, my mom looked at me and said "Bitch you not going any where until you give me some money".

"Move mama so I can get ZaZa ready for school. I don't have any more time to be arguing with you about money". I turned around to walk to the closet in baby girl room since Tammy wants to stand in front of the door way. I got ZaZa dressed in the closet while our mom went on a rant about money. After I got lil mama dressed, I began to do her hair in a slick puff while trying to ignore mama cussing me out.

She is really starting to make me angry. I looked up at my mom and said, "what you need this money for"? My mama scratched her arm while chuckling. She looked at me with hatred as she said "you in my business? Don't do that". Once she said that I told my sister to go to Raheem room until it is time to leave. "Ok sissy" said ZaZa as she walked out the room.

I walked to the door and then closed the door lightly. "Mama can you repeat what you said please ma'am. "Bitch you heard what I said. You in my business. Do not do that. Now are you going to give me the money or not" said Tammy. "I looked at my mama and said you want to be in my pockets. Don't do that". If you not going to tell me what the money is for then you are not getting the money.

My mother looked at me with anger in her eyes. Then she up's her...
