5 days later...
We were officially out. Haily helped us sell our TV, couchs etc on kijiji. We were able to get $500 dollars from everything. Not a lot but enough to mange ourselves for our time on the streets.
I look over at Troy who is sadly pulling his suit case, sighing at every possible second.
"Mommy, how long are we gonna be on the street?" The question shocked me
"Troy, I dunno"
"You never know the answer to anything." he grumbles, I sigh as we continue our journey to no where.
"Can't you just call Uncle Ray or Prince or even Uncle Craig" he huffs in frustration
"They can't help us"
"Why not? I don't wanna sleep on the streets" he whines
"You don't have a choice"
"We do have a choice, you're just limiting our options!" He raises his voice slightly
"Troy!" He grumbles speeding a head of me
I look up at the sky, and see the rain clouds forming indicating that it is about to rain. Oh Great, another thing to add to my frustration.
I take out my phone and call Prince. The phone rings a little before he answers.
"Hello?"
"Prince, can you come pick Troy and I up. We just got kicked out from the house and we're stranded."
"What?" He exclaims
"Prince-"
"I'm on my way. Where are you?" I check for the road name "Sunnyday Parks ave"
"Okay." With that he hangs up "Troy wait, Uncle Prince is coming to pick us up" he sits down on a bench and I catch up to him sitting beside him.
The rain begins to pour and I wrap my arm around Troy as he lays his head on my chest.
"I'm sorry mommy." I give him a weak smile nodding my head, assuring him that I forgave him.
After 20 minutes of being soaked by rain, Prince shows up
"What took you so long Uncle Prince?" Troy questions as he shivers "Yeah" I back Troy up, Prince gives me a dead glare before answering Troy.
"I was looking around for this place, never been here before" Prince helps us put our bag in the boot as we get in
The drive to the hotel was silent, only the sound of the music from the radio gave this car some life.
We arrive to the hotel and Prince helps Troy with his bags, leaving me to struggle with mine.Before we walk in he checks if the coast is clear before allowing us in.We Reach into his suite and it was beautiful. A king sized bed; neatly spread, some couches and a flat screen TV.
"Your house is nice, Uncle Prince" he chuckles "It's not my house but thank you. Go change and then you can watch some Tv" Troy takes some of his clothes that he stuffed in his backpack and goes to the bathroom to change.
"Come outside with me" his tone changes, we walk to the hallway and he looked really angry.
"Prince are you upset with me?"
"I'm more than upset Janelle. How could you sit there and allow them to throw you out" he yells
"Prince! I couldn't afford my rent, the supervisor had taken enough pity on me for the passed 3 months to allow me to pay an incomplete balance. She's had enough" I yell back
"Why didn't you call me?That's why I'm here Janelle. that why Ray, Chres, Craig and I are all here, to lend you a hand when you need it. I know you've been on your own this whole time but we're here now." His voice softens, a tear slips down my face.
"I'm sorry" he sighs.
"It's iight, you just need to stop this childish behavior of thinking you got everything under control. I'm here for you and so are the boys" I pull him into a hug kissing his cheeks softly, then Troy opens the door.
"Uncle Prince-...oh!" He begins before noticing me wrapped in Prince's arms, he backs away awkwardly while Prince and I let out a nervous chuckle and Prince and I let's go of each other.
We walk back inside, and I head to the bathroom to get myself changed into dark blue basketball shorts and a white tank top. When I walk out there stand Ray and Chres.
"Oh I didn't know we were having guest" Ray says in sacarstic tone
"Hi Ray!" I go up to hug him
"Wassup ma ? Why y'all here" he pulls out of the hug and looks at me with his eyebrows furrowed. I look over to Prince and he looks back sympathetically also giving me the ' I-guess-gotta-tell-em' face, I release a sigh before beginning.
"I got kicked out from the house, I couldn't afford the rent" I look down, Ray sighs putting his hands on both my arms.
"Janelle look at me" I couldn't, I know what he's going to say "just look at me Janelle please" I make an effort to do so but my head just went down low again. He uses his index finger to lift my chin.
"Why didn't you just call?" He says looking me straight in my eyes, I try not to make eye contact, I continuously move my eyes around but they always end up still looking at him back. The place is silent until Prince speaks up.
"The problem was already solved, let's just not start it again. She and Troy are gonna stay here with me"
"Prince you know that it's not possible. If hotel people find out about this, they'll expect you to move to a larger suite and that would cost more money for the label and they wouldn't be happy" Chresanto speaks up
"It's just for a night" Prince replies
"Just for a night?!" I turn to Prince raising my voice "So after tonight, you're throwing us where you found us?" I ask in disbelief
"No, y'all will stay with Ray for the second night and Chresanto for the third before we set things straight"
"Prince! I can't risk it!" Protests Chres
"Please Chresanto" I plead "Yeah please Uncle Chres" Troy pouts, he sighs deeply.
"iight." With that we all plopped on the couch and watch some TV.
I'm thankful for these boys.
