Chauntel*

I was smiling so hard when I seen McDonald's inside the hospital.

Me: ooh, Cam let's go there.

Cam: you can't be serious.

Me: please baby, it's McDonald's....

Cam: bruh, so... look we can get some later, yo fat ass.

Me:ugh, fine.

Me and Cam headed to Mom's room.

I walked in her room, it was big room.. nice furnishings. I saw my mom laying in the bed looking so small, she had her bald head, but she was beautiful.

Me: Mommy!!

Cynthia: oh my baby, how you doing?

Me: I'm good. You look good mom.

Cynthia: thanks, I see you brought your boo Cam. Haha.

I giggled.

Cam: how you doing ms.cynthia?

Cynthia: hey honey, Chaun told me everything.

Me: everything like.....

Cynthia:you guys being together. Duhh.

Me: ohhh ok... is that a problem?

Cynthia: Girl no... Cam has grown into a handsome young man. Plus, you a grown, I ain't stunting yall. Yall have fun.

Cam: thank you, I feel a whole lot better.

Me: haha! Whatever...

Cynthia: how long yall gone be here?

Me: just the weekend. I hope.

Cynthia: ohh, ok. Where's Chaun?

Me: Chaun is dealing with some baby momma drama.

Cynthia: oh lawd... I'm finna be a grandma. Already...

Me: Chaun is dumb as hell.

Cam: are you serious? Cursing in front of yo momma.

Momma was laughing hard.

Cynthia: it's ok baby.

Me: hey Cam,  if you don't mind if I talk to momma privately.

Cam: oh nahh, go ahead. I'mma be downstairs....eating McDonald's.

I smacked my lips.

Me: Really? Ok... asshole. I said jokingly.

Cam left... I had to tell my mom what's been going on lately... I didn't know where to start.

Cynthia: is everything ok?

Me: no, mom it's been difficult. I've been going through so much... so much with John, Chaun, Cam, Pops. Like I don't even know if Dad is alive or not. John, oh my goodness, John the devil put me through so much hell.

Cynthia: Babygirl, your dad does not care about you so I don't see why you worried about him, he never called you since you left he never came to Atlanta to visit you and John... Chaun told me what happened. ...

Me: everything?

Cynthia: Eeeverything. John ain't nothing but....

She started to cry...

Cynthia: he ain't nothing but...... the devil. He did you so wrong...

I wanted to cry, but I got myself together.

Cynthia: Yo daddy was an ass, but he never hit me or raped me, or anything like that. I can't believe my own daughter would go through something like this. That ain't right. I'm glad Chaun and Cam came to the rescue. I'm glad you're with Cam...

Me: i am too. He's been there for me, he never gave up on me... he really loves me.
