As this became a usual thing , I was supposed to be at a studio session with Kay and his friends but because my mom decided otherwise I couldn't I had to play babysitter to my siblings

I am not complaining, I just wanted to get to go to an actual studio session and see what goes on there , since I could sing a little I was intrigued by stuff like that nevertheless, I decided to try spend the day with my siblings in a fun way , which hardly happened because these kids stay tryna kill each other

"Sekani what's wrong with you leave his head alone!" I was yelling from the kitchen as I peeked my head into the living room when Seven screamed at the top of his lungs

"Get off the fucki- get off the table , can't y'all just get along for a day I'm so tired of yall "

"Seven started it first,I told him give me the damn remote -"

"I don't care just dont kill each other and stop using those wrestling moves on your twin"

Seven came into the kitchen sat on the bar stool with my his face in his hands slowly looking at me , while mixed the batter to make some fried chicken tenders

"Where's your boyfriend?"

"Don't have one , why ?"

"Im talking about Kay"

"He's not my boyfriend, we're just friends I guess" I shrugged mentally preparing for an interrogation

"Okay then do friends touch each other's ass the way he was touching yours?"

"No that was a one time thing"

"Yall kissed when we got inside "

"Just forget about all that wanna help me cook?"

"Nope ". He replied popping the P

I don't know why I even asked that

"Darnell was here yesterday" He randomly said getting off the stool walking towards the fridge

"Did she say why?"

"She was looking for you... I think"

"She was with another girl tho'

"Describe the girl"

"Umm she was light skinned pretty with curly hair she looks Spanish or sum like that"

I had no idea who else that description fitted besides Imani crazy ass

"You can't say people look Spanish, try Latino instead"

"Okay teacher geez"

"Im just tryna help you you gon say that infront of people and they'll laugh at your stupid ass" i laughed

I quit my job at McDonalds since I had to take care of my siblings whenever my mom was gone which was almost always, right when she was getting better and being an actual mom .

"Oohh this looks nice " mom spoke as I dished out the food for everyone

I hummed in response, not even wanting to talk to her , she's grown up she knows exactly what she's doing

Dan came in holding some groceries and a paper bag

"Cherry". He greeted smiling

"Hey Dan , Wassup?" I smiled back we got closer and he been taking care of us ever since he's been here ,and he's been treating my mom right
For the first time ever I haven't had a problem with a stepdad

We sat in the kitchen cramped in there on the island and started eating dinner which was some fried rice I learnt how to cook from Pinterest ,mashed potatoes , green peas and carrots , gravy and chicken tenders

Everybody was eating already my mom wasn't religious or too spiritual to care about praying
So it was a norm to eat without praying , my grandmother was the religious one

We ate and after dinner Dan called me over to the couch which he was sitting on with my mom next to him watching something I don't care to see

"I bought you and the boys something in there I just thought you'd like it since you're staying in more and you don't really talk about your feelings so I bought a journal and  some painting stuff"

I walked over to the bag taking out the journal which was neatly covered in a denim type material with a matching pen

"Thank you Dan"

"Your welcome" he replied focused on the TV

I continued looking through the bag seeing the Nintendo 3DS XL he bought for the twins

I was happy even though it wasn't anything big in someone else's eyes ,it was in mine
I've never gotten a gift or been bought anything special or something that wasn't edible

It meant a lot to me , damn near dropped a tear ,
Dan was like the dad I never had , he knew I didn't talk about my feelings while my mom said I was a weirdo who would grow up to be a hood rat/ hoe like my dad

"Thanks Again Dan " I spoke holding my new journal and painting supplies in the bag since most of the brushes were at the bottom of the bag so it took the bag

I laid on my bed and started writing whatever it was that I was feeling right in this moment
