Tori's Trouble

Mother Knows Best(Not)

I Woke Up To A Knock On My Door. It Was Saturday So I Know I Wasnt Late For School Or Anything. "Come In" I Shouted From My Big King Sized Bed. In Walks My Mama &Some Funny Looking Man. Shit Was Finna Get Real.

Mama: Girl Get Your Lazy Self Outta That Bed, We Got Company &Mama Wants You To Meet Her New "Friend".

I Could Feel The Inside Of My Stomach Churning From Disgust. I Never Liked My Mama's "Friends" Cause They All Ended Up Beating Her Ass &Treating Her Like She They Slave. I Looked At The Time On My Phone, It Read 8:17 AM.

Me: Its Too Early For This, Get Outta My Room &Take Ya Lil "Friend" With Ya, Im Goin Back To Sleep.

I Rolled Over, Put The Pillow Over My Head, &Smothered Myself Under My Covers. I Then Felt My Covers Being Snatched From Over Me. I Looked Up &My Mama Was Standing Above Me.

Mama: Didnt I Tell You To Get Out That Bed, I Didnt Raise You To Be Rude Like This In Front Of Company.

Me: He Aint My Company &You Right, You Didnt Raise Me To be Rude Cause You Didnt Raise Me At All.

Mama: Charles Could You Please Excuse Me &My Daughter, Go Wait In The Living Room Ill Be Out Ina Bit.

She Leaned On My Table Where I Kept Old Pictures Of All My Family.

Mama: You Are Not About To Embarrass Me In Front Of That Fine Man In There. He Wants To Take Care Of Us Both If You Would Juss Act Right, I Could Have Everything Ive Ever Dreamed Of With Him.

I Was Beyond Pissed..

Me: (Yelling) It Aint NOTHING He Can Do For Me That I Cant Do For Myself. I Dont Care What You &Him Got Going Juss Leave Me Out Of It. I Dont Wanna Meet Him, Talk To Him, See Him, Nothing ! If Im So Embarrassing Why Did You Bring Him Here In The First Place?

Mama: Girl You Better Watch Your Mouth. Oan I Meant To Tell You, I Wont Be Making It To Your Graduation, Me &Charles Will Be On A Vacation In Hawaii The Whole Month Of May.

Me: Ohh Why Does That Not Suprise Me. I Dont Really Care If You There Or Not Aint Like You Actually Ever Been There For Anything Else.

Mama: Why Are You So Rebellious&  Disrespectful? And I Advise You Watch Your Tone When Talking To Me.

Me: Get Outta My Room. &The Next Time You Bring A Nigga To Meet Me, At Least Let Him Be Cute. You Always Pick The Ugliest Niggas That Aint Worth Half The Shit They Be Putting You Through.

Before I Knew It, She Snatched Me By My Hair, And Had Me Up Against The Wall. I Turned Around &Tryed To Pry Her Hands Off My Hair. Lord Knows I Didnt Want To Hit My Mama But She Dont Know What She Juss Started. She Let Go Of My Hair &Screamed "Ohh You Think You Hard, You Think You Gone Talk To Me Like That?" She Punch Me In My Stomach. I Felt A Rage Of Anger Take Over Me. I Started Beating Her Face In. My Fist Juss Wouldnt Stop Hitting Her. My Grandma Ran In The Room &Got Me Off Of Her.

Mama: You So Damn Evil ! Ive Never Seen Such A Disrespectful Child In My Life ! Matter Of Fact You Are No Child Of Mine.

Me: Youre Right, Im No Child Of Yours.

I Saw Blood Leaking Out Of Her Mouth. I Didnt Want To Be On The Same Planet As That Woman, Let Alone The Same House. I Cleaned Myself Up, Grabbed My Keys &Headed To Shaun House. I Cried The Whole Way Over There. I Loved My Mother, I Juss Didnt Understand Why She Always Chose A Nigga Over Her Own Flesh &Blood. She Didnt Even Call &Wish Me A Happy Birthday On My Actual Birthday. I Juss Needed Someone To Vent To. I Pulled Up Outside Shaun's House, I Called Him &Told Him I Was Outside. He Opened The Door, Still Half Sleep. He Noticed My Eyes Were Red.

Shaun: Whats Wrong Baby?

Me: My Mama Is Crazy, Thats Whats Wrong. We Juss Got Into A Huge Fight &I Couldnt Take Being Around Her One More Minute.

Shaun: Its Okay Baby, Im Here.

He Rubbed My Back While I Layed On His Chest &Cried Myself To Sleep.
