She lied

Hello my name is unique, i'm 17 years old. I'm 5'2 and dark skin with long curly hair with light brown eyes. I grew up in New York, Brooklyn to be exact.I go to a school called "Lynn high school. Kids always used to pick on me because i don't have nice shoes and nice and clean clothes.My hair was always curly and not done. I only had one friend and her name was "Shayla".Shayla was tall and she was brown skin with dark brown eyes and she had freckles. She always gave me things and she never judge me and tell me that i am pretty because i don't think I am. Ugh people always say i'm ugly. Anyways Shayla and I been friends since freshman year. Shayla would always be there when I needed to talk that's why she is my friend, more like Best Friend.

Life at home was horrible my father died when i was 9 years old in a shootout. That's what my mother told me. , I was a daddy's girl, I really don't get along with my mother. My dad would always take care of me before he was taken away from me.When my father past i would push my family away even though i didn't have much. I always would cry myself to sleep but my mother was never there to comfort me because she was never home as always. I miss my dad alot, his name was Shakur. My mother on the other hand, her name is ciara she's light skin with green eyes. I honestly think my mom is a bad mother. The reason why i think that because she would never buy me clothes or shoes. She would hardly talk to me at home only thing she would say is "have a good day at school" or "i love you unique". But i'm like If you loved me you would show it.

  Monday morning i woke up and i walked in the bathroom to get ready for school. I  looked in the mirror and tried to turn on the water and it wouldn't work. "Mom" i yelled with frustration but of course she didn't answer me. ¨omg¨ i thought to myself now i have to go to school dirty. I got dressed and slipped my hair in a messy bun and walked out my house. As i walked down the street i heard people talking then i heard somebody say ¨Unique come here¨. I turned around and didn't see anybody so i kept walking.I saw my bestie shayla. ¨hay shayla¨ i said she gave me a warm smile ¨hey Unique girl¨.
As we walked in school all eyes were on me ¨ughhh i hate coming here¨ i thought to myself. When i was walking down the hall i saw the ¨mean girls¨ talking and giggling about me but i kept walking because they are not worth my time. Shayla and i were walking in spanish class. I just laid my head on the cold desk and went to sleep. *30 mins later* the bell rung for another class but i went to the bathroom.

I was just looking in the mirror and a tall girl startled me. ¨Unique your dad is in the office¨ she said i just looked at her like she was stupid and i said "don't play with me like that my father died when i was 9 years old as a tear slipped out my eye."but i'm serious unique". I charged towards and hit her with tears streaming down my face. She yelled "stop unique!! Stop, please !". "Don't ever lie like that i don't play about my dad's death" as i stormed out the girls bathroom. I walked into shayla "what's wrong unique. "Some girl ran into me in the bathroom and said my dad was in the office."but he is unique"."shayla i don't have time to be playing" i said as i walked off.
I walked in the office and couldn't believe my eyes. I saw my father

standing in front of me. D-dad i stuttered. He looked at me and hugged

me. I swear this is a dream but it's not."unique baby girl, i missed

you."how are you here" i cried out, "i thought you died that's what my

mother said."i know that's what she said she didn't want me in your life

Unique but i'm here now". I really hate my mother now. My father

interrupted my thoughts and said "i'm getting unique out early today" he

said to my principal. As we walked out of the school we walked to a car

and got in. we were on our way to the "manhattan mall". "Unique get

anything you need and want" my father said. "Do you even have a lot of

money" i sad. "Don't worry about that" my father said. About a hour of the car ride we was here. The first store i walked to was "forever 21"

I grabbed everything i saw. Ma'am your total will be $500 the cashier said and my dad handed her the money. Next store i walked to was
"footlocker and got 12 pairs of sneakers.

We made our way to the food court. I ordered chinese food and my dad had pizza. "Unique tell he how it was when your mom told you i died". I

stared in a blank space for about a minute or two and became to talk." umm , she told me you was one of the biggest kingpins in new york and

one day you never came back and we moved to the house that she lives in now, and than a month after you left i never spoke to you again so one day i asked about you she said the the same i saw you , you died in a

shootout dealing with different drug dealers and they wanted to take you down , i said while almost bursting into tears..dad i would cry every night

thinking about you and all the good times we had and all the things you did to make me happy because my mom's treated me like barbie doll meaning nothing, i missed you alot  and even some days i went to school dirty but ciara i mean my mom never cared" i told my dad as my

voice cracked. My dad had a tear slip out his eye. "Unique i'm sorry i wasn't there to comfort you when you was sad and that's real fucked up

how your mom lied about me dying, i always wanted to stay and take you with me but out of nowhere she up and disappeared. I even had my homies look for yall but there was no luck like now i feel really shitty because i never knew how she did you ." it's not your fault dad i understand i just hope things get better along the way. *20 mins later*. We left the mall.

We were riding and my dad said " i have to make a stop to your moms house. We pulled up to the house and he got out the car. *dads pov* i walked up to ciara's do hesitated to knock but i thought about my child. Ciara opened the door. "Shakur how are you he-here". "Shut up ciara i'm taking my child with me why the fuck would you tell her i was dead than what make it so bad you don't take care of her and i'm taking her with me you don't have to worry about her anymore" i yelled."but i didn't and don't take her." she said with a stupid look on her face. I just walked off. She cried And shut the door . fuck she crying for you don't want her.

*Unique pov* My dad finally came back and felt like forever.It was a
awkward silence in the car but i just kept quiet. An hour later i was 
getting my hair done. Bone straight to be exact.*1 hour later* my hair was so pretty and i felt beautiful. My dad came into the shop and paid  the lady and gave me a iphone 6s. "Thanks dad, for everything" " welcome baby girl i was supposed to been doing this" he said then i snapped a picture. My dad smiled and i smiled and giggled. We got in the car and i know something was on my dad mind."what's wrong dad you look sad " i said. "Your mother i just cant believe her smh" as a tear slipped out his eye "it's gonna be ok dad, you don't have to worry anymore especially about the situation with my mom. He just smiled.We was in the car for a

long time i just Couldn't stop thinking about how "SHE LIED". To be continued......
