4.
I pulled my hood over my head and stuffed my hands into my pockets. It was dark and super cold out as I walked to the store for my mom and her boyfriend.
"London" I heard somebody yell, I turned around to see Yung running out of his house towards me.
"Where you going" He asked zipping up his jacket.
"The store, where you going" I asked
"The store, my mom needs batteries I guess" He shrugged.
I nodded, we continued to walk I started to shiver from the cold.
"Here" Yung said taking a extra scarf from out his coat pocket and wrapped it around my neck.
"Thank you"
"No problem" He smiled, I smiled back but it quickly changed once we got under light and I seen a big bruise on his jaw.
"Are you okay" I asked rubbing the bruise slightly.
"Yeah, it's nothing new she got mad and punched me in the face" He shrugged.
I nodded as we walked into the corner store. After getting what we needed we walked back home and said our good byes.
I handed my mom the bag and her change, I quickly tried to make it to my bedroom but before I could I was being snatched by one of my pigtails.
My mom pulled me to the couch and sat me down as she stood in front of me. I looked down as the tears started to swell in my eyes.
"Wanna play a game London" She chuckled. I didn't say anything because I knew it wasn't going to be a fun game.
"Well you don't have a choice either way. Just stand here" She said pulling me over to a wall.
I silently cried as she grabbed something, my eyes widened once I seen what it was.
"This is gonna hurt" She smiled.
"Ahh" I screamed diving to the floor as the bullet from the gun came flying towards me.
I looked up to see a whole in the wall exactly where my head was.
I sighed as I walked up the steps towards Yung's house. "Wassup baby" He said kissing my forehead.
"Hey" I smiled.
"What wrong, you look all sad and shit"
"Nothing just thinking about things" I shrugged.
He nodded as we walked into the kitchen. "I have something to tell you" He said looking down.
"Go ahead" I said sitting on one of the chairs.
"Your probably not gon' wanna talk to me after I tell you this"
"Just say it"
"I umm- I got a baby on the way and I got feelings for my baby momma, so I'm letting her move in"
I stared at him with a blank expression. I couldn't lie and say that didn't hurt but I couldn't let him know that, we weren't in a committed relationship.
I nodded my head "Well I guess I should get my stuff then" I said standing up.
He grabbed my arm causing me to turn and look at him. "I still love you as my best friend" He smiled.
"Yeah, I love you to" I said walking away and grabbing my things.
After I grabbed the little stuff that I had, I left but there was no where for me to go.
I could go to my dad's but I'd rather struggle before I fix my mouth to ask somebody for something.
I walked down the street with my bag on my back.
I was ready for school to start back from winter break, but I also knew it was a huge risk of me being sent back to the foster home.
My dreams have always been to finish school and become a Realtor.
I snapped out of my thoughts as I walked into the corner store. Grabbing a few snacks and something to drink I payed then walked out the store.
I rolled my eyes as I notice I had to past a group of boys who were standing on the sidewalk. I hate walking past boys by myself that shit be feeling so uncomfortable because they just stare.
"Excuse me" I said once I noticed I couldn't get through.
"Oh shit my bad ma, go ahead" One of them said as they moved out the way.
"Thank you" I mumbled walking through them, but before I could all the way through I felt somebody grab my arm.
I turned around and rolled my eyes letting out a dramatic sigh once I noticed it was Javaris.
"Yo were you been at London" He asked in a angry tone.
I scrunched my face up looking at him "What you mean"
"Yung called my phone early freaking out because you left"
"Oh that's cool" I said opening my soda as I walked away.
"London" Javaris called.
I turned around looking at him as I drunk my soda.
"Let's go" He motioned for me to get in the car.
"Nope because you gone bring me to my dads and I refuse to -" I started but stopped as my mouth and eyes got wide looking across the street.
There she was the lady I used to love but she didn't love me back, my mom. She didn't look like she was on drugs at all , She actually looked really happy witch kind of hurt me.
"London you alright" Javaris asked but I didn't answer. She looked across the street directly at me then looked away but quickly looked back and stopped walking.
"London" She yelled walking across the street.
"I'm ready to go" I said to Javaris in a rushing tone.
He looked at me confused then looked at the lady that supposed to be my mom who was now right in front of me.
"Oh my god" She gasped with tears in her eyes as she tried to pull me into a hug.
"You don't fucking touch me" I yelled pushing her away "because I swear it's taking everything in me right now not to punch you in the fucking face" I yelled hitting my fist against my hand.
"Don't disrespect me I'm still your mother" She yelled.
"Nah fuck that you ain't shit to me and never will be" I said starting to walk away.
"Come on" Javaris said softly then pulled me to his car.
I got in closing the door behind me. I sat in the seat mad as hell as Javaris started the car and pulled off. I personally think I handled that pretty well because I always imagined that if I ever seen her I would cut her neck open and throw her in somebody's back yard so some pit bulls can eat her alive.
"You good" Javaris asked
"Yup" I said popping the p and put a piece of honeybun in my mouth.
"Oh hell nah" He shook his head at me.
"What" I asked looking at him confused.
"Nobody eats in my car but me" He said snatching my honey bun.
"Who the fuck you think you is snatching people's food" I said snatching it back.
"You get on my nerves" He side eyes me.
"Feeling is mutual" I smiled at him.
