" You can't pay me enough to make food, take out some trash and wash dishes for a job then only paying me 9 or 10 dollars hourly I can't do it  " I spoke weighing the weed

" Then on top of that they want you to clean up too hell no " Liyah chimed in

" This look cooked right? " Kayla asked showing the crack in the pot

" I think you fucked that shit up " Liyah laughed 

" Bitch I'm new to this I don't know what the hell I'm doing " Kayla spoke

" we gon be fired before we get our first check " I shook my head 

" I miss my boyfriend " Liyah said 

" I miss mine too I should call him " Kayla said pulling out her phone 

" I wanna be single " Liyah spoke 

" you just said you miss your boyfriend " Kayla said 

"  I miss Von " I blurted 

" poor tink tink , he'll be out soon " Kayla poked her bottom lip out 

---------

" where you been all day ? " My mom questioned as I walked into the house 

" with Liyah and Kayla "  I said 

" mhmmmm , I don't know which one of your lil boyfriends sent you some flowers but they on the table " She told me  I walked towards the table and seen a bouquet of flowers 

I grabbed the note sticking out and read it 

" Im Sorry - Nardo " I laughed at the note and threw it in the trash 

" Think because he sent me some ugly ass flowers, I'm supposed to forgive him? " I laughed to myself walking upstairs 

--

" I'm only talking to you " Ja spoke over facetime 

" I bet " I replied 

" I'm hungry make me some to eat " He told me  

" You better ask that other bitch to make you some " I told him 

" And you think just cause I'm big I can cook? " I added 

" Bigger woman usually can cook " He laughed 

" well, I'm not one of the bigger women that can cook "  I said cutting some of my braids to take down 

" why you taking out your braids them was cute on you? " He asked

" It's time for them to go I want a frontal " I told him

" Baby first off, its 30-inch Buss down " I laughed at him

" 10 and 30 is two different lengths " I said 

" What's the longest its 40 aint it? " He asked I nodded 

" I'm about to cashapp you the money for a 40 inch you better get it " He told me

Seconds later I got a notification 

Cashapp: Ja sent you $900  .

" You didn't have to do that " I smiled at him through facetime 

" But I wanted to " He replied

" So how long he got? " My mom asked 

" I don't even know I haven't talked to him " I told her 

" I had a boyfriend that stayed in and out jail too " She blurted 

" I was young and dumb " 

" I skipped school to be with him " She continued 

" I didn't care about my grades or nothing " 

" Then one day he just died " she said 

" Really? " I spoke 

" Yeah, I went to his funeral and everything " she said 

" We weren't together at the time, but I still went " She added 

" I think it was Von dad " she said 

" You used to mess with Von dad? " I asked 

" If I'm not mistaken " she said 

" that's crazy " I shook my head 

------

" Who the fuck at my door? " My mom spoke I was woken up by loud thuds on the front door 

" what now ? " I mumbled getting up from my bed tying my robe 

I rushed downstairs and looked out the living room window there were two police cars I rolled my eyes 

" I'm so tired of this shit " My mom said unlocking the top lock 

She unlocked the door and was met with two police officers 

" What the hell yall want now? " She asked mugging them

" Are you Onika Jones? " The officer asked 

" I might be what's going on? " My mom asked clutching her robe 

The officer unhooked the handcuffs from around his waist 

" Ma ? " I said 

" You're under arrest for the murder of Te'Asia Jones You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law you have the right to an attorney " The police announced reaching to grab my mom I felt a tear flow down my face

" MAN THATS SOME BULLSHIT I AINT DO NOTHING " My mom yelled resisting 

" don't make this harder than what it has to be " The police said still grabbing her 

" Ma just stop resisting " I told her 

" CALL THE FAMILY RIRI AND GO TO GRANDMA HOUSE " She yelled as they handcuffed her and walked her out the house 

I watched and cried from the door as they shoved her in the back of the police car and drove off 

I slammed the front door and ran upstairs
