"you have to talk to her though"

"no i don't nae, im done with everything and everybody"

since the situation at my mother's house. i've closed the whole world off.

i still talk to my brother, we're building a pretty good relationship.

i looked down at my phone hearing a notification which was from Rell, making me turn my phone back off.

"she misses you, alot, please just atleast hear her peace"

"whatever, and soon as i hear something i don't like, im leaving"

"just atleast try to hear her out liyah"

walking up to my mother's porch. im already pissed. i don't even wanna talk foreal.

i took a deep breath before opening the door.

"hey baby"

i waved and sat on the couch that was across from the one she was on.

"so wassup" i asked

"um i don't really know where to start .. what do you wanna know"

"um start where you lied about my father to me my whole life, oh wait matter fact no, start where you cheated on him"

"don't be like that" she said walking around the coffee table to sit onside me.

i moved over

"um so your da-"

"see, that's the problem it's always 'your dad this, your dad that', what about you" i asked

"yes i cheated, but everyone makes mistakes liyah"

"yeah but everyone don't lie to their child so they can seem like goody two shoes"

"your dad was on the football team in highschool, as you know .. he had alot of girls on him, of course ... but he's been having money and all these luxurious things.. i was just a girl from the hood"

"and your point is" i asked

"i didn't think we would actually last, i had this friend from high school who was a basketball player, we were both drunk and i started venting he was a listening ear— never liked your dad, but that's besides the point, he ended up kissing me and things went from there" she explained

"so what you're telling me is that he actually loved you but you ruined it by overthinking and being insecure.. so then that made you think 'oh i'll just tell my daughter he wasn't shi-'"

"watch your mouth in my house" she said, aggressively

"and that's why im about to leave your house"

i walked out the door and slammed it behind me.
