July 22, 2020.
Wednesday night.
These were the last words me and my father exchanged before he passed. I was ten at the time, and never thought I would be heart broken at this age. Reminiscing about the times when my father died. Never thought I would lose my father like this. While tears fell down my face, I was interrupted by my mother opening up the door. She was drunk as usual.
"Neveah... when are you going to lend me some money? You know I have to pay these bills..." she said as the sat down next to me looking at me.
"Ma, I'm not lending you no more money because you spend it on fucking liquor every time." I said while getting up and and looking at her with frustration.
"Watch your fucking tone speaking to me like that.. I am your mother..." she said as she stood up and got in my face.
"Well you don't act like it, ever since my father died you've been acting like this. I act more than a mother to you than you do to me. You act like such a big ass baby!" I said screaming at her. She raised her hand at me and slapped me across my face.
"I've been nothing a fucking good mother to you! Act like you got some fucking sense!" She said while she continuously keep putting her hands on me. As much as I love my mother, I really hate the way she's acting and I would hate to put my hands on her for self defense. I tried to just move around but then she took a hair full of my hair yanking me back causing me to tremble, but the back of my head hit the nightstand. My vision began to blur and felt blood coming out of my nose. Then I fainted.
Showing off your ass cause you're thinkin' it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just a minimum....
Doo Wop by Lauryn Hill was playing, I was five years old. Me and my mommy was dancing and laughing, while daddy was recording us on his vhs recorder camera.
"Smile for me baby girl!" My daddy said as he recorded me.
"Cheeseee!" I said in response while smiling. Mommy was in the picture making a silly face.
I slowly woke up from the nostalgic dream of me and my family. My eyes was droopy and the only thing I can see is a light. I hear a beeping heart monitor from my right ear.
"Ma, I think she woke up." I heard from the left of me. It sounded like a male voice.
"I'll go call the doctor." I female voice said.
I was thinking to myself who are these people, and am I in the hospital? I asked myself. I opened my eyes fully to see a male sitting to my right watching over me. I scanned the room and realize I am in a hospital.
"Um why am I here and who the fuck are you?" I said to boy besides me.
"It's better if the doctor told you what happened and I'm Jacari, Jacari Smith." He said to me while lending out a hand. I looked then ignored.
"Could you just tell m..." I then suddenly remembered what happened to me, I passed out from hitting my head because my mother pushed me.
"Where's my mother?" I asked him.
"She's in jail." Another voice said to me. She came up to me and smiles. She looked familiar.
"My name is Natalie, you probably don't remember me but I am your mother's best friend. Well used to be." She said to me.
"I remember you... You left without any explanation. Didn't even say goodbye..." I said to her. She looked sad in the eyes.
"I wanna know why..." I was interrupted by the doctor as he walked in.
"Hello Neveah, my name is Doctor Ferdinand. How are you feeling?" He asked while checking my temperature.
"I feel fine, can I ask how long I've been in here?" I asked curiously.
"you've been in here for three weeks." He said to me.
"T-Three?!" I shouted out.
"Well yeah duh, that's what I said. You had an concussion and was in a comma. I expected you to wake up later then usual, could've went months in a comma. And on top of that, you look perfectly fine." He said smiling.
"So where will I be staying if my mother is in jail?" I asked curiously.
"You will be staying with us." Natalie said to me. I thought about it but what other choice do I have.
"Aight, cool. So this your son right? You have a daughter?" I asked.
"I do, her name is Jessica." She said.
"Where she at though?" I asked.
"At school, she didn't want to come." Jacari said smirking.
Natalie squinted her eyes at him then looks back at me.
"Look, your leaving the hospital today. And we went to get your clothes and stuff already at your house. So are you ready?"
"Yeah."
