I wasn't always this lucky... My mama left me to go run after some man when I was just a baby. So I was stuck with my dumb ass daddy who was always in and out of jail and taking care of my two younger siblings, Drakari and Kamiriah.
I was the oldest. I cooked for them, bathed them, helped them with homework, shopped for clothes for school for them, laundry, etc. So I was practically what you would call a lil mama. Then my mama decided she wanted to get her act together and came back to get us. But it never got our relationships between us and her back to what it was. But we still try and talk to mama every now and then.
While staying with my mom I met Terrell Brown, a fine ass man with some blue eyes and chocolate complexion. He had a sturdy build, stood around 5'10" tall, and he was all heaven. I'm light skinned with hazel -mocha brown eyes, 5'2" in height, long, black mid-back length hair, and my body was perfectly proportioned not too much and not too small in the chest or behind but just enough but don't let the smallness fool you. I'm feisty!
Terrell and I were together for six years since we were in high school. I was 14. He was 16. While we were dating I had  4.0 GPA, completed all my credits for college and was just cruising through the remainder of my high school years. Sophmore year at college after 4 long years of being together I got pregnant with my daughter, Zuri. Shortly after her birth, her dad left us and I had to drop out of school to pay bills and get enough money to buy her pampers and formula. This was the life I was living..... Fucking deadbeat... This is where my story begins.

"Hey Ms. Jones!" Mr. Gaskins greeted me as I walked into the daycare.

"Hello, Mr Gaskins," I said hanging Zuri's backpack and putting her things in her cubby. "Be a good girl mama. U hear me?" She nodded as she walked away, ready to play with her friends on the numbers carpet.

"How are you today?" He said looking around the classroom at the children. Mr. Gaskins was the director of the daycare and always worked with me on arrangements whenever I couldn't make the weekly payments.

"I'm fine, just a regular day for me. Just dropping her off for another hard shift at work again." I said letting out a heavy yawn and sigh.

"They still giving you a hard time about giving you that promotion?" He asked with his eyebrows raised, concern written in his face.

"I'm not really sure I'll get it." I answered honestly, looking down.

"Wha- what do you mean? Come on now u dont mean that!" he said in disbelief.

"I do Mr. Gaskins but its too much to explain I have to head out or I'm going to be late. I really dont need Ms. Rose on my ass again."

"Okay, I'll have Keisha keep an eye on lil bit for u."

Thank you! I'll see you later!" I said halfway out the door.

I started walking in the hot sun to the bus stop. It was 87° the high was supposed to be 102°. It was normal being the fact that it was 7:30 in the morning. But by noon it was going to be scorching! I was glad for heading to work at these hours, because I didn't have long to walk back and forth from the bus stop. The bus was due to come in fifteen minutes. As I sat down on the bench, I pulled out my phone to see if I had gotten any texts or missed calls while I was dropping Zuri off. I saw one from her dad, which I wasn't willing to read and seeing him still pop up in my phone just makes my blood boil. After all we went through together, he decided to leave me for a side bitch after I had gave birth to his child three months prior. He can wait until I'm ready to answer. I closed my messaging app and went into my music app. I scrolled through the list until I found one that caught my eye. I put in my ear buds and hit play waiting for the song to start. The bus came up and I got on to scan my card and head to my usual seat in the back by myself. It was a 45 minute ride from my house to work so I could get a little sleep. As K. Michelle's "Cry" blasted in my ears, I closed my eyes and mouthed the words to myself preparing myself for the day ahead.

Okay, so tell me what you think so far. I'm open to opinions and comments or suggestions. I know its kind of starting out boring but its going to be drama and love and all that in there just give me some time to put things together. Lol. Its gone be hella juicy and a lot of love triangles. Be prepared! I gotta come up with more characters but let me know!
