" say that again" I asked.
" I said what are you going to give me if I let you take my son ? " she repeated.
" are you kidding me right now. so your saying I have to pay you to take my bother ?"
" So what. Don't act like you pay bill because you don't. your lucky I ain't kick your ass out just like your cheap ass sisters "
" what ever. How much are you talking about ?" I asked.
" Let's see well imma go easy on you for awhile cuz I know you ain't got shit . $ 350 each month I want my money on the 3rd not the 4th. If you don't have my money Im calling the cops and taking my son" she said walking away with a big ass grin thinking she got over on me.
" you should be happy I'm taking him you don't have to feed him , take him to school , nothing cuz I got him. your greedy thats all. So how about I just let you keep that check you getting from my dad each month." I said
She was all ears now.
" its called child support dummy he suppose to give me money. He ain't here and that funky ass check ain't doing shit for me". She said.
" That money is suppose to be for me, me not you. its called child support to support the child not your ass. you do nothing for your kids '' I said getting teary eyed.
" you know what imma let you keep him till you turn 18 after that you either pay me or bring my son back to me "
" why 18 ?. I asked.
" just get out my house".
you ain't got to tell me twice I thought as I walked to my room and grab some bags for Von and my clothes.
30 minutes later we was all packed up and ready to go but to where ?
'' where are we going ?'' Von asked as we headed up the street.
'' To Jakayla's house " .
" we are , we are ? '' he asked excited because he had the most biggest crush on my best friend.
" yea , we are " I said laughing at my little brother.
couple minutes later we was in front of Jakayla's door
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
" who is it ?" jakeem asked .

" me" !!
" who me ?"
" shy" I yelled
he opened the door and said.
" what are you doing back here ?. Can't get rid of your ass. what up little man." He said giving Von dap.
" yea what ever" I said dryly .
'' why your eyes red ?" He asked me.
" Jakayla up stairs?'' I said ignoring his question .
" naw she ran to the store right quick. Now answer my question"
I couldn't take it any more I just bust into tears like a big ass baby .But at that moment I couldn't care less.

Von took flight up them stairs.
jakeem took my hand and led me to the couch and had me in a big bear hug
" so do you wanna talk about it ?" he asked
" no , not really"
" I respect that " he said hugging me tighter.
5 minutes later Jakayla walk in with a lil black bag from the corner store.
"What are you doing back ?" She asked eyeing both jakeem and Me because we were so close .
" Can me and Von stay here ? I asked. This was not the time to be sugar coating things .
" ummm.... Sure but what happen ?"
" I will tell you later"
" how bout now" she said pulling my hand so I could get off the couch ,but jakeem still had me hugged up.
" let her go jakeem" Jakayla said
" alright, but when you done come in my room I wanna talk to you " jakeem said
"Okay"
Jakeem got up and walked up to his room where Von was playing the game.
" what was that all about ?"
" what ?" I asked
" you..my brother.. him saying meet me in my room when you done " she said mocking him.
" so ?"
" have my brother ever tried to talk to you ?" She asked
" NO WHY YOU ASK THAT ?"!!!
" because he act like he Like you. He always asking me when you go turn 18"
" what does that have to do with anything "
" I don't know I just know my brother. So what happen ? "
I told Jakayla everything when I was done her mouth was wide open.
" so she tried to sell you my baby daddy. Jakayla said referring to Von . She knew Von had a crush on her, so she refers to him as her future baby daddy.
I laughed " yup shit crazy "
" who you telling let me go see my baby daddy " Jakayla got up and headed for the stairs I followed behind.
" Bo Bo " Jakayla said opening jakeem door.
" Kayla " Von said running and giving her a hug.
" what you been doing ?"
"Chillin" he replied
" awww you so cute come on you want some ice cream ? " she asked him as they walked out the room.
" wow" jakeem said
" wow what ?"I asked.
" naw. lil nigga just left me for my sister" he said laughing .
I sat on the side of his bed .
" so why did you want me to come in your room ?" I asked.
" why was crying ?"
" because....." I started but didn't want to Finnish .
He came closer to me so that we was face to face.
" you know seeing you hurt ....... It hurt me too."
" how so ?"
" I don't like seeing people I care about hurt "
No response.
I didn't know what to say at the moment cat had my tongue. Then the next minute jakeem had my tongue.
