Chapter 16 

JADEN

       I unlocked the door of the apartment where i live. It was pitch black and cold. I sighed, my mother was working again - I mean she had too we need the money.

That's why i work at the at restaurant downtown, I wanted to help her and not stress her out. We were never in a good financial state ever since my dad left - my dead beat dad.

I hate that nigga with a passion. He just got up and left my mother for another one, leaving me behind. That was 8 years ago.

I swear i cried my eyes out for a month, I thought he left because of me. He was always disappointed because i rather dance then play sports. I actually quit for 2 years after he left -  then i started back up again.

When he left he didnt say anything to me, I could still remember everything that happened.

6th October 2005

I was sitting on our front lawn playing with my action figures, they were the hottest thing out. Everyone wanted one of these and i was the only one out of my Friends to have it.

I was pretending that they were super hero's, they were trying to save the world - which was only a huge ant hill.

I stopped my game when i saw my dad pulled into the drive way really fast, he looked as if he was in a hurry. He jumped out the car walking straight in to the house not even acknowledging my presence.

What was his problem?

I walked into to the house after him. I watched as he loosened the tie on his shirt and then run up the steps. He walked right in to the bedroom he shared with my mother. She was in there. He slammed the door so i would be able to hear a thing.

I continued to walk slowly up the stairs, then after a minute I heard my mother screaming and crying. What was happening?

He bussed out the door with a small suitcase in his hand leaving my mother on her knees sobbing a way.

He stopped and looked at me then just walked out the house. I ran to my mother's rescue, i tried to comfort her but she pushed me away.

                                                                      " No, no " She yelled. " Go and take a shower, am fine " She said staring at me with red puffy eyes that still had rivers of water flowing down.

I hesitated but finally went and did as i was told. I started to cry, I didn't really understand what was going on but i do know that my dad made her cry.

I sat on the couch that was in the living room in complete darkness. Remembering that story still makes me mad. My mother later told me why he has walked out, and that made me wanna forget his existence.

I heard shuffling outside the door, it was probably mom. I was right.

She stepped into the house closing the door behind her and then witching on the lights. She didn't know i was just standing there so when she saw me she almost had a heart attack.

                                                   " Oh my goodess " She cried holding her hand over her heart. I began to laugh. " You almost killed me " She added.

                                                    " Sorry " I giggled.

                                                   " Why are you in the dark? " She questioned.

                                                  " I dont know, I was just thinking." I told her.

                                                 " about? " She said as she walked into the kitchen with some bags- walmart bags.

                                                " Stuff " I said. 

She sighed, she was probably rolling her eyes but i couldn't see her.

                                                   " Is one of those things this Thanksgiving dinner i got from Walmart? " She asked laughing. 

                                                    " What? " I laughed as i entered the kitchen. 

I saw that she actually had some food there,  I guess she still wanted to have our thanksgiving dinner.

My mother and I were sitting on the couch. Well actually I was sitting on the couch and she was laying on me - she was sleeping. So I was left alone to watch ' The Call '.

I just rubbed her hair and stared at her face. She was so beautiful but in the recent years she started to get wrinkles- even though she was only 41- she was stressed. We had to make it on our own with out any support from anyone.

Not even her family.

They all cut her off when she married my dead beat dad, they knew from the jump he wasn't right. But she went against their will and married him. Even though their not together anymore nobody wants to forgive her.

She job as a veterinarian - Yes I did lie about being with her that night with Hope, but she was a vet. She always wanted to become a vet, she told me she loved animals all her life. We actually have a Tarantula - She always wanted one and finally got one three months ago.

I hate that thing, but she loves it.

I mean things are tough but were getting by.

I grabbed the remote off the arm of the chair and turned the tv off. I kissed my mothers forehead, then pushed my head back and shut my eyes.
