"Khalieah, how was Cali you never told us." Her mom asked as they sat at the dinner table.
Khalieah shrugged. "It was ight I guess, I spent the entire week with the boy i'm talking to and before you start lecturing me we didn't do nothing except go on dates and hang out with our friends." She responded.
"You need a break from boys to be honest... you was with Pablo basically your whole teenage years and you see how that turned out.." Her older sister butted in. Khalieah smacked her teeth. "Girl i'm just tryna help you."
"I ain't ask for your help and i'm cool on the advice from a girl who's nigga had a baby on her and she still stayed like the dumb bitch she is." She snapped.
"At least he ain't beating on me like Pablo been doing you the past few years."
"Mama do you hear this girl?!" Khalieah questioned. "You wasn't saying the same shit to mama when daddy was beating her ass like a rag doll so why everytime we argue you bring up the fact that I was getting beat on? Pablo twenty something i'm seventeen, the fuck was I supposed to do?!"
"Both of y'all shut the hell up, now." Their mother demanded. "Kanani, I didn't ask you to say anything. I asked your sister how her trip was and she rarely speaks to us about her personal life so you could've been a little easier on her when she felt comfortable enough to tell us about the boy shes with."
"Bruh what?! She don't even know the boy, he live all the way in Washington and you're comfortable with them talking and meeting up without having to meet him? I don't know what kinda mother you are but i'll never allow my children to do the shit you let Lieah do."
"I don't got time for this shit i'm finna slide bruh." Khalieah got up and grabbed the car keys off the counter before walking out the house.
