Eve's love

Grown part 2

"Thanks for helping me with the dishes Eve," Azalea said while lightly hugging me. I honestly didn't know what to say and how to feel about it because I barely know this chick. "Please don't hug me..... I do the dishes at home all the time, so it's no be deal ok?" Azalea looked confused but understood what I meant about my personal space. "Eve I understand you have been through a lot  with your mother. I'm so sorry she's gone but, I just want you to know I will always be here for you." My blood started to boil because she doesn't know me and she especially doesn't know my fucking mother. "MY MA MIGHT BE SICK BUT SHE IS NOT GONE AS SOON AS SHE GETS BETTER IM PUTTING HER IN REHAB AND FIXING UP OUR LIFE FOR BETTER BITCH!" After that, the kitchen doors burst open with my dad and my grandmother. "Hey hey hey what's going on in here ladies." My nana asked. Azalea was speechless but I had something to say. "This lady right here talking like my mother is gone!" "What I tell you about your mouth?" My dad growled at me. I stood there silently watching closely at my dad's next moves. My Nana walked forward and grabbed my hand. " Lets go have a talk sweetheart." I heard Azalea whispering to my dad from a distance. My nana led me to her room upstairs. Her room was a dark violet with pictures of a whole bunch of little children and some wedding pictures which intrigued me. "That's me and your grandfather the night of our wedding. We were hopelessly in love! I got married at 16 years old which was very normal at that time.  Your father and mother were a year older than us when they had you. Your grandfather was long gone before you were born. He died at 24 years old with three children for me to raise. His health wasn't the best but he sacrificed everything for his children I always admired it. Your father and your grandfather are very much the same because your dad did the same thing for you. Your mother was a drug addict who stole from your father when he sacrificed everything for you.  Before you get upset I'm not trying to down talk to your mothe... I met her myself she was a very very sweet woman, but she changed after she started taking drugs. We all prayed that you would always stay safe. He would call over 60 times a day nobody would ever answer. She will have random men around you and we had to calm your father down before he did something stupid. Who knows how much money she took from you! And  all the stuff you could have had if she would let your father in your life."  My breath started to get shorter I feel like the room spinning around me. I could think about is how many times my ma told me my father didn't love me. " I SWEAR YALL GOT SOME NERVE TRYNA TELL ME ABOUT MY FUCKING LIFE!" I screamed before collapsing on my nana's bed sobbing. I felt a soft hand rubbing down my back which made the hairs on my neck stand up. "Eve your about to be an adult this temper of yours got to stop! I kept your daddy calm all these years but I can't do the same for you I'm too old, but I want you to know that your nana will always be that cool sensation on the back of your neck when you feel your blood boiling. And about your mother......" Before she could finish the door busted wide open. "COME ON EVE IM TAKING YOU TO A FUCKING HOTEL." My Nana and I jumped right up. "YOU AINT TAKING HER NOWHERE CANE! She has been gone for too long and she is finally safe with us. I will spend some time with my oldest grandbaby and if you gotta problem with that I guess you will be sleeping with a busted lip tonight!" That's the first time I have seen my dad look like a child. He just looked at me and shook his head while I giggled to myself. My nana walked over to him and kissed him on the forehead. "We are gonna get through this as a family no matter if it's today or 10 years from now WE ARE A FAMILY!" Dad and I were so focused on nana we didn't notice the rest of the family eavesdropping. I looked over to Azalea and mouthed I'm sorry and she nodded her head.
Gina and Kendra ran into the room and grabbed my hand leading me into their room. It was the color of lavender with flowers painted on the trim of the wall. "Ok ok ok girls you got me what's up?" They both giggled and jumped around. "We want you all to ourselves you played with everybody but us, don't you love us?" Kendra asked. I looked at the clock and it was 10:00 I can't believe time flew so fast. "How about I sleep in the room with you guys we can have a slumber party." They looked like they were about to explode with excitement. Gina went into the closet and pulled out a tinker bell sleeping bag that was too damn small but made me laugh because the thought was very sweet. I tucked them in and laid them on top of the tinker bell sleeping bag on the floor. Even though they were hopping around they were exhausted.  I reached in my pocket and turned on my phone the room was dark but the light from the window made it very comfortable. I noticed I had a voicemail so I checked it was 5 minutes long. The first three minutes were muffled which made me sit up because I was trying to hear what was going on so hard. There was a sharp sound that made me wanna jump out of my fucking skin. " EVE............ YO, THIS IS DJ IM SUPPOSED TO BE NOT CALLING YOU BECAUSE DRE TOLD ME TO BUT WE IN SOME DEEP SHIT RIGHT NOW I KNOW YOU PROBABLY HATE MY NIGGA DRE BUT ITS BEYOND THAT RIGHT NOW I NEED YOU TO CALL ME BACK ON THIS NUMBER WE NEED TO TALK. -End of message" The voicemail was from 2 hours ago so I got up and sneaked out of my sister's room. Everyone was in their room so I snuck outside. I got my purse because my anxiety was killing me. I sparked up a joint I rolled for the car trip but never had time to smoke. I dialed up the number and waited for a ring but no answer. I called twice and by that time I was down to a roach. I shook my head in annoyance because who knows what that goofball could be talking about. I was right about to go inside when my phone rang. I whispered "Hello?" "DAMN GIRL ITS GOOD TO HERE YA VOICE-" Before I let him finish I had something to say. "FIRST OFF FUCK BOTH OF YOU BECAUSE YALL LEFT ME FUCKING STRANDED WITH NO SHOES!!!!!JUST SO YALL IGNORANT NIGGAS CAN  GET INTO A HIGH-SPEED CHASE WITH ANOTHER GROUP OF IGNORANT NIGGAS NOT GIVING A FUCK NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY FEELINGS!!!!" Dj was silent until I was silent. "Are you done Ms. Sexually frustrated?"  I almost dropped my phone because my hands started to sweat. "Well like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted... Dre and I got us into some real nigga shit. We left town after the  situation and we about two hours from where you stay this is temporary but dre completely dropped out of school." "Is he ok?" I asked. " Honestly no, when he was going to school he was always in good spirits because he felt he was finally accomplishing something.  When he met you he couldn't shut about you and how your personality was something he has never seen before. Where are you Eve  because he told me rolled by your house yesterday and you weren't there?" "I'm with my dad's side of the family spending Thanksgiving with them... Why didn't he call me?" "His phone got lost while we were on the road. He had to get a new car and so did I we're low profile." "Why did he tell you not to call me then?" "Because he cares about you girl and he doesn't want you to worry but ,I told him you would worry more doing it his way. He is the boss he way smarter than me so I let him have it." I just shook my head. "So what are y'all gonna do?" Well that's the thing dre is making all the moves. I'm playing it by ear but don't worry ya man gonna come back around .Yo my phone gonna die and I don't know when this hotel wifi is ever gonna be this good again but you enjoy your Thanksgiving Eve." He hung up leaving me in silence. My high was completely gone and I know I couldn't sleep knowing this information so ,I called my girl justice hopefully she is awake she has been really tired lately.  There was no answer so I went back inside. Soon  as I walked into the door I was met with my dad in a robe looking like I just got caught in a middle of a robbery. "Who you talking to outside?" "I was calling justice because I was missing her and checking on my lil baby...." "Eve don't lie to me I thought we was cooler than that." I sighed in frustration cause this man will never let me have it. "Dad can I just go to bed I'm really tired and it was a very long day...." "No go back outside we need to talk." "FUCK!" I screamed in my head. "Tomorrow me and you going on a run. I'm going to need you 10 toes down and not show one inch of fear cause you grown right?" "Hell yeah I'm grown what are we doing?" I asked excitedly. "Thats for me to know and for  you to find out." "What did nana tell you about your mother?" I raised my eyebrow. "Why do you want to know?" "Because my mom see the good in everything no matter how fucked up it is." "So my mom is fucked up?" He chuckled and pulled a blunt out his pocket and lit it. He hit it and passed it to me. I really didn't expect him to do that. "Gone head you grown hit that shit."  I inhaled and my lungs started to burn like someone dumped it in a  frying pan. He pat my back as I was choking. I handed the blunt back to him. "Shit you was right today was a long day. Even tho you cussed out Azalea she really likes you. She never met her parents she been in foster care since she was an baby." "Is she ok?" He chuckled. "Hell yeah daddy took real good care of her." I ignored what he said and just thought about Azalea. I never thought a woman so beautiful would be abandoned and  never feel the love of her own parents. "Im sorry about that really and I'm going to make it up to her by making the house breakfast." He passed the blunt back to me which didn't hurt as bad but was fucking me up. "I really appreciate that because her heart is in the right place this is her first time with a real family."  He put the rest of the blunt out and gazed at the stars. The crickets were chirping so loud I could feel the vibration all through me. "You better get some rest because I have a feeling these next few days are gonna be very different from what you are used too." I started to get nervous because what I'm used too is insane. I'm not religious but did god me strength!
