"Stop listening to Meechie corny ass. Yo momma ain did shit"

"Yeahhhh okay"

"But like I was saying.. I really don't want you to have to go through no shit like that. That's why I'm glad you act the way you do cause I know you already know what you want and you ain taking no shit from nobody"

"Of course. And y'all are the reason I'm like that" I told him which made him smile until I continued talking "I mean...that's what happens when you have to raise your parents AND your big brother"

"You swear you raising somebody" he pushed me upside the head while standing up

"But it's true. I'm the only adult in this family.. Jr lives all the way in another state and he calls me to ask about washing clothes, buying groceries and even taking medicine like he's not in medical school.. I even called to schedule his dentist appointment when he came home for thanksgiving break"

"Cause jr a whole grown ass man with the mind of a 12 year old. Ion know how him and Joie been together so long"

I just shrugged. That was all I could do because when I asked jr the exact same thing he told me entirely too much information

"We'll all I know is between y'all and him, y'all make me never wanna have kids"

"Good" my daddy smirked, walking off "kids only come in handy during tax time"

I shook my head as he left the living room and looked back down at my phone, texting Kyran back






Kyran

"Kaleia I'm surprised you still down here and not upstairs with kinsley" I could hear my momma say as I walked in the kitchen. I was hoping the kitchen was empty cause I just wanted to get my food and go back to my room but that obviously wasn't gone happen now cause everybody was in here except kinsley

After hearing bout her and Kaleia getting into it yesterday I was surprised she was over here right now but I guess she wanted to get outta her daddy house that bad

"I'm just chillin down here auntie" she answered before looking back down at a Tik Tok on her phone, eating her food

"That means her and kinsley beefin' again" McKenna muttered, shaking her head

Before I could even walk past my momma she pushed a plate of food in my hand which made my daddy stop and look

"And you quick to say shit when I fix my daughters a plate but you still fixing Kyran food"

"Cause that's my baby" she replied and I smiled

"Kyran's a grown man. He's 18. I'm the 12 year old" McKenna pointed at herself "and you made me fix my own food"

"Well you might be 12 but you got the attitude of a grown woman so.."my momma said to McKenna and then looked at me "you even got haters in ya own house"

"They just wish they could be me.." I sighed

"Nigga you wanna be me" my daddy just had to say while he drunk from his cup "you look like me, talk like me, act like me... all you missing is Dimitri on yo birth certificate"

My momma rolled her eyes at him "Boy don't nobody wanna be you.. ignore yo jealous ass daddy. And tell kinsley to come downstairs when you go back up there"

Just as soon as I was about to turn off kinsley walked into the kitchen with a not so happy look

"Kinsley why you got Kaleia down here by herself?"

Kinsley and Kaleia exchanged glanced and kinsley frowned up her face while going to get her something to eat

"She can go home"
