10:24pm
i got out my bed hearing someone knocking on my door, knowing it was nee.
"thank you so much girl" she said, walking in
"im surprised you ain't go by tae"
"we not on good terms right now" she said, putting her bags in the living room closet
"unt uhn, put them in my room, you sleeping in my bed, i wish i would have you sleeping on a sofa"
"alright" she said, walking to my room
i sat on the bed watching her put her things up. i noticed that she looked very sad. like she was fighting tears.
"are you ok?"
"no, my momma got forced to move out her house, so i let her come move in with me for a little while, but she started doing business out my house without me knowing, girl my house looked like a crack house" she said bursting out in tears
i held my arms out to comfort her. nee family is full of drug dealers and killers. yeah she ghetto, but when it came down to the drugs and killings, she wanted no parts.. at all.
"did you try to talk to her about it? tell her how you felt?"
"yes, she always try to make it seem like i don't want her around or im putting her out" she said, sobbing
i didn't know what to say.
"it's gonna be alright, sooner or later, she'd be out, now you know that you can't let her live with you again"
i really didn't know what to say.
"you right, never again"
"tomorrow ima take you somewhere" i said reaching her wipes, so she could wipe her face
"alright"
"what happened with you and tae"
"he was texting some bitch, then got mad when i found out and tried to flip shit on me. everything going downhill" she said
"don't think like that, everything gonna get better" i said, giving her a hug
