Jay

"Hey Ma,"I greeted her as I walked in.

"Hello son,"she gave a weak smile.

"How have you been?"I kissed her cheek and sat by her bed.

"I've been-"she gave a chesty cough and I grew with worry. I searched for her medication but she put her hand out.

"Shawn I'm fine...I'm fine,"she whispered.

"Ma I promise you I'm gonna get you help. You can't stay here,"I sat back down and looked into her eyes.
"Shawn I told you I'm fine...don't worry so much. How are the others?"

"Ma I'm gonna get the money so you can go through with the surgery. You'll be fine,"I put on a brave face.

"Shawn live your life. I know I'll be fine. How are my other children?"

"You don't need all them when you got me,"I smirked and she playfully slapped me lightly chuckling. "They're fine. They should be on their way back from school now,"I checked the clock on the wall.

"That's good. How are their studies?"

"Ain't heard nothin' bad."

"Has Naharyi stopped fighting in school?"

"She's a Carter Ma. She can't stop fighting,"we chuckled and she coughed. I helped her take a sip of water.

"And is there anything I need to know?"

"Morocco's got a dance comp and spelling bee coming up, Faith's got a debate competition next week, Naharyi's meant to be preparing for an exam and she got a dance show soon, Cassie's got a dance comp soon and Cy'Cah's been rapping on the streets."

"Hm, I'm sure Cy'Cah picked up that rap stuff from you. I'll try and make it to the competitions."

"No you won't Ma. You need to rest and take it easy. You know what the doctor said,"I warned her.

"Nobody will represent me at my children's events so I don't give a damn what no Doctor Highstow says,"stubborn. I guess that was where we all got it from. Gloria Carter.

"Alright Ma."

"And how have you been?"I shrugged.

"Same old, same old,"I said nonchalantly.

"I know you Shawn and there's something going on in your life. When the children get here send them up,"she ordered and I nodded.

"Aight Ma. You want anything?"I stood up and she nodded.

"6 Cajun chicken wings, fries, a chicken biscuit and a red velvet cupcake,"I sighed.

"Come on Ma."

"Don't tell me 'come on'. Bring me my Popeyes',"she frowned and I raised my hands.

"Aight. Love you Ma,"I kissed her cheek.

"Love you too son,"she smiled at me and I left her room closing her door.

Just as I was jogging down the stairs my five siblings were entering the house.

"Wassup y'all?"they all answered back with uncomprehensive words and I rolled my eyes. "Ma wants y'all upstairs,"they groaned and I grabbed my car keys.

"Jay where you going?"Morocco asked me.

"Popeyes' to buy Ma some food. Y'all want anything?"they all looked up and began telling me what they wanted.

"Fuck it imma just get a family bucket,"I mumbled and walked out of the house leaving them yell their orders.

I hopped into my Maserati driving to Popeyes'. At a stop I received a text from both Beyoncé and TyTy.

Fatty🍑🍑🍑:Hi Jay, it's Beyoncé.

TyTy🔫:Yo fam we got a problemo

I baited on who I was going to reply first. TyTy wasn't gonna give me no pussy so I hollered at Beyoncé.

Jay😈:Yo. We still gon go out?

She didn't reply quickly so I text back TyTy.

Jay🔫:whet nigga????

TyTy🔫:Marcel dun pull up tryna steal our shit

Fatty🍑🍑🍑:Uh I guess...😁

Faith🎀:Jay I'm going to the library then after that I'm going to drama. Can you pick me up at 9 please?

Naharyi💯👊🏾:Yo nigga I'm going to Kiesha's. Don't wait up on me.

Cy'Cah🕶:Going out. Bye✌🏾️

Thot👅:Hey baby. When you coming to see me? I miss your magic stick

UckQueen👅🍆:want some head baby?

I doubled at my phone wondering how I received so many texts in just five seconds. Now I was gonna have to reply to all of them.

*to UckQueen👅🍆*Jiggaman🍆:nah I'm fine Olivia

By the time I sent all the texts I'd reached Popeyes'. I hopped up and stepped into the restaurant and joined the queue. TyTy continued to text me, as did Beyoncé.

TyTy🔫:nigga forget pussy. U r what u eat. Pull up @ the warehouse cuh I got him tied

Fatty🍑🍑🍑:I'm free tomorrow.

"Hello can I take your order?"I looked up from my phone at the cashier.

"Can I have 12 Cajun wings with fries, a chicken biscuit and a red velvet cupcake?"

"Uh sure when you tell me why you didn't text me back,"I frowned and she had a stank look on her face.

"Do I know you from somewhere?"

"Yeah from two days ago."

"Uhhhh Shianne?"

"No my name's Meghan,"she whined.
"Well sorry but can you please order my food so I can give it to my mother? She doesn't mess when it comes to her chicken wings,"I whispered the last part. She huffed and gave me the price. I payed for mom's food and waited on the side for my order. At that moment I'd received a few texts.

Faith🎀:thank you Jay😘❤️

Thot👅:dry? Tuh u know u liked it

UckQueen👅🍆:my name Irna not Olivia

I chose to air the thot from last week and UckQueen cuh they ain't shit.

Fatty🍑🍑🍑:Sure. I'll send you my address later on

My food arrived and I left the restaurant. My next destination was the warehouse.
