Say POV
My phone began to ring.It was Simba
"Wassup roach" I couldn't hear nothing but yelling and crying "Sim?"
"I need you.Please come get me" she said crying."She's doing it again and it's bad.Please come get me"
"Wait baby.."my voice began to crack."Baby slow down okay.Listen,go in your room and pack as much as you can.Stay in there and lock the door.Don't come out until I get there."I said grabbing my keys
"Ok.Please hurry.I'm scared"she said right before she hung up
"Say,what's wrong.What's going on?"-Keem
"I can't- I can't talk about it right now" I said crying."I gotta go" I said walking out of the door.He followed me out the door and got in the car.
"Go back in the house.I don't want you in the middle of this"-me
"I ain't going no where.Look,ion know what's going on but we gotta go"-Keem

We finally get to my moms house.I walk in and see her "friend" in the kitchen with her.
"Get out"-me
"Lil girl,who you think you talkin to?"-Jerome
"Aye nigga,I think it's best you step"-Keem
"Go get Simba and take her to the car"-me
"Say,you came!" she said hugging me
"Of course baby.Listen,go to the car with Keem.I'll be out inna minute okay"-me
"I'm not leaving you in here by yourself "-Keem
"Hakeem,baby I got this.Go outside and watch my sister"-me. He grabbed her bags and walked out the door. I turn to see my mom in the kitchen drinking vodka.
"You drinking again?!" I said slamming her bottle on the floor
"Why the fuck would you do that.It's ight I got some more"she said reaching for an other bottle.I got to them before she did and began to pour them down the sink.
"STOP!STOP IT!!" she said as she began pushing on me
"NO!YOU DON'T SEE WHAT THIS CRAP IS DOING TO YOU?"-me
"Baby I got it under control"-ma
"You said that the last time.Ma,you have a serious issue and you need help"-me
"ISSUE? I DON'T HAVE NO FUCKING ISSUE.YOU THE DAMN ISSUE....WHY DO YOU EVEN CAREEEE.YOU DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMOREEEEE!!!"-ma
"WHY DO I CARE?I CARE BECAUSE YOUR MY MOTHER AMD I'M TIRED!"-me
"TIRED OF WHAT? YOU AIN'T DO SHIT!"-ma
"ALL THEM NIGHTS OF ME HAVING TO DRAG YOU IN YOUR ROOM BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO DRUNK TO WALK.OR WHAT ABOUT THE TIMES WHEN I HAD TO GET UP AND MAKE YOUR KIDS FOOD BECAUSE YOU WAS ALWAYS SLEEP.OR WHEN I HAD TO TAKE ALL YOUR BS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT SIMBA OR JORDAN TO KNOW THE REAL TRUTH.I WAS THE MOTHER MOMMA!"-me
"NOBODY TOLD YOU TO DO NUN OF THAT SHIT.YOU VOLUNTEERED!"-ma
"I NEVER VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE ON YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A MOTHER.THEY WERE FORCED UPON ME!WHAT THE HELL DID I LOOK LIKE?AN EIGHT YEAR OLD GOING SHOPPING,COOKING,AND CLEANING BECAUSE YOU WERE ALWAYS PASSED OUT.IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,WE WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD!!ALL CUZ YOU CHOSE THE BOTTLE OVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A MOTHER.I'm done with this shit"I said as I began to walk out
"WHERE THE HELL YOU THINK YOU GOING WITH MY CHILD!!"-ma
"YOUR CHILD? I RAISED HER.THAT'S MY BABY...and she's staying with me"-me
"LIKE HELL YOU ARE" she said pulling on my clothes.
"I refuse to let her grow up like I did.She is so lucky not to have seen or experienced everything I have.She staying with me and when you get your self together,I might let you see her but she is not coming back to your toxicity".She slapped me."She's scared of you.Why can't you get that thru your head.Yes, I thank for trying,I can admit that,but you take ten steps back every sip you take...What I said stands.I hope you get  yourself together ma,for good" I said walking out.

When we came home,I showed Simba her room.After she got out of the shower,I brought her some food.
"Here love,I made your favorite"-me.She was just sitting there with tears in her eyes
"Why did she do it?"-Simba
"I don't know.I guess some old ways don't leave...I need you to tell me what happened"-me
"All I did was ask her if I could go to see daddy this weekend and you already know how she feels about him and his wife so she just flipped out and started throwing stuff.I didn't even know that Jerome was there until you came"she said crying
"Did she touch you?"-me
"No, she just threw stuff at me.I was so scared.You made it seem so easy but of course.All I had to do was hide in the room while you just took it...I never told you this but thank you...for everything" she said crying. I stayed with her until she fell asleep.I walked into my room and Keem was still awake.I just stood by the door trying not to cry.He walked to me and wrapped his arms around me in a comforting hug.I just let my eyes release the tears.We walked to the bed and sat down.
"You want to talk about it?"-Keem
"No but I do have to pee"I said wiping my tears and laughing.I got up to go to the bathroom and immediately felt this stabbing pain in my lower back that caused me to sit back down.
"Babe,you good?"-Keem
"Uh yea just a little light headed. Can you go get me some water?"-me.I had to deal with my moms and her bull shit and now I gotta deal with my back.One hell of a day.
