Toxic paradise

chapter 6

Soon as I got home, my little sister came running downstairs to hug me. "Cece! I miss you", she said. " Aww I missed you too cutie", I said. I really did miss my little sister. "Girl, we need to get your hair done", I said. The girl's hair was nappy. You would think my mom or older sister, Alez, would do her hair but nah. "Hey, you. Where have you been?", Alez said walking downstairs with her 5 month old baby girl in her arm. "I was staying at Nicki's house", I lied. "Well. You was missed. Not by me though", she said. "I know you missed me. Don't even front", I said holding her baby girl. Alez was 25 and she was a great example for me. She was CEO of Mary Kay's company and sets up events. She also can balence between her job and family. Although, her baby daddy left her, she was always strong willed and made sure her family was taken care of. "I guess . Where's mom?", She asked me. "I don't know. I should be asking you that. I haven't been here."

"Oh yeah. You right. You been M.I.A", she said laughing. "Right. Why is Kira's hair like this?", I asked. "Cece, I got a baby to take care of. Jasmine is a full time job", she said looking at her baby girl. "Yeah. I feel you. Well, I'm gonna go wash up. Kira, go watch tv in my room and I'll do your hair when I'm done", I ordered my little sister. Walking towards the kitchen, I grabbed a bag of hot cheetos and went to my room. I haven't checked my phone in a while so I decided to check it before I take a shower. Jay called twice and so did Ashton. Torn on who to call back first, I threw the phone on my bed and took my long 45 min shower. Wrapping my towel around my body, I looked into the mirror and could still see some of my scars. I wish it was that easy to get out and stop getting beaten by a man that claims he loves me. Never would've thought I would be in this position I am right now. A tear fell down my face but i quickly whipped it off. I noticed kira watching spongebob. I treated that girl like my baby considering, Alez already had her baby.

Before doing kira's hair, I decided to call Ashton back first. "Hey pretty lady",he answered on the third ring. "Hey what's going on? You over here blowing up my phone", I said smiling. "Girl, who you talking to?",Alez said being nosey. I motioned her to leave me alone. " who was that?", Ashton asked. "My sister. So why'd you call exactly? Cause I got stuff to do", I said. "Dang baby girl. Can we talk?"

"We are talking", I told him laughing. "Can I come through your crib tonight?"

"Yeah sure. Just don't being none of your friends over",I said

"Nah baby. It's just me."

"Alright so call me when your outside. Talk to you later", I said hanging up. "Okay Kira. Let's do your hair",i said putting on some shorts and a tank top. I went over to the dresser and grabbed her beads. She picked out all the red and white ones. When I was a little girl, I used to love rockin my beads. I would turn my head just cause. It wasn't too long after, i got in trouble because my beads was a disturbance in class. My mom found out and she never put beads in my hair again. So technically i stopped wearing beads since i was 4. Snapping me out of my daze, kira said, "Cece, look . Its spongebob."
"Yeah, spongebob", I said grabbing a wide-tooth comb and hair grease.
