Armani Jayleen Honee

"that's so lame ughh" i huffed

"i don't understand why you need a job, Armani. you ask me for everything and you get it." my dad fussed

"well it's different, i don't want to depend on you for everything dad" i said

"Jay you cannot even handle the real world. anytime you feel uncomfortable it's "dad come get me" "dad i need money for an uber" anytime you don't want to cook, i call X. would you like me to continue?" he asked

"you're not even the one who's going to be working the job" i rolled my eyes

"and you're the one who's going to quit during training" he replied

"i'm 17 and can make my own decisions" i walked to my room and Milli followed

"who is going to drive you to this job Armani Jay?" he yelled

"not you duh" i slammed the door

he never lets me decide anything for myself, he thinks he knows everything. he wouldn't even be able to drive me cause he's never here

i felt tears fall down my face

"i hate him so much" i said as i sat and cried. "i miss my mom"

i grabbed my phone and scrolled till i found her number. i began to type but didn't know what to say exactly

why would she leave me

i laid on my cold floor just letting my tears fall until i fell asleep, Milli right beside me

when i woke up it was dark and my phone was ringing

i answered without looking at the caller id. "hello?" i asked lowly

"fuck is you doing bruh" it was Vamp, he sounded irritated

"i just woke up" i began to get off the floor

"why you sound like that ? you good ?" he asked

going into my bathroom i looked at myself and paused

"yea, i'm fine" i said knowing i wasnt

"you want me to get you" he said in a soft tone

not wanting to hurt his feelings i said "me and Mazzi are about to watch a movie so not tonight" and then hung up

that didn't even make sense, i don't want him to have to deal with me or my problems but i think i'm pushing him away.

i turned on my shower and texted Maz to come over before getting in. even though i wanted to be alone i knew i shouldn't

when i got out the shower i wrapped myself in my towel and just sat on my bed, thinking about many ways i could just have peace. it wasn't that long til Mazzi opened my room door and i snapped out of it

she already knew something had happened, she just hugged me and then the waterworks started again

i didn't even have to say anything for her to know
