"Im scared to let somebody in on this, no new friends no no no" - Drake
I opened my eyes as the light from the sun shined in. I pinched myself hoping that this whole past month was just a prank, hell the night after my crazy ass checked for cameras.
For about a week, Luna and I stayed in a hotel on the other nicer side of LA. Dontè insisted that we stay there until they had got everything situated. I eventually got fired from my job which wasn't any help from the jump so basically, I'm a square one. However, I did have enough money saved to get me and Luna a condo and I think this is where we plan on calling home. I never really knew how much I saved, I guess my mom was just holding me back. But anyway I've been applying for jobs to first get Luna and I stable and secondly, repay Dontè.
As far as my mother, Scoop and Marcus found her a couple of days later back at the apartment as if nothing happened, sitting on the middle of the floor. They asked if she wanted any help, to get back on her feet but she denied it. So they packed all of our stuff, not as we had much, and brought it to the condo. I didn't want to go with them because I just wasn't ready and Dontè wasn't having that shit. As for my mother and I... I'm not sure where we stand.
At one end, I know that times were hard and she had to do what she had to do to get by. I also know that she was drunk but like my mother once told me herself, a drunk man never lies. At the end of the day King says that he has some of the BRICK crew working over there so I can sleep at night.
I still cant believe that I'm twenty three with my baby and my own condo. I'm starting to think that I'm making it somewhere in the mist of all this hell. To be honest anywhere that I am now is better than were I was.
I rolled over to my phone and looked through my contacts. Over the hundreds of notifications, only three stood out. The first one was from Dontè telling me to get ready because he was going to be here at 10:30am. I checked the time and it was 8:00am so I still had time.
The next couple messages where appointments that I scheduled last week, rescheduling for this week.
The last was from my bestfriend Skylar.

end of text messages
I locked my phone and headed into Luna's room. "Baby... Babygirl wake up." she smiled but kept her eyes shut. Oh, two can play at this game.
"Luna we are going to McDonald's.." She smiled even harder but she didn't budge. See this is where my patients start to be thin. I was just about to get my tickle fingers ready when I heard a knock on the door.
