||Liyah||
That whole day , all I thought about was me and Travis kiss .
While I worked at the restaurant till now when I'm going home .
To say I don't miss Travis would be a lie .
I miss him touching me .
I don't let him touch me at all . At first that was kinda hard because he couldn't keep his hands off me but eventually he stopped .
I miss his kisses .
His sweet kisses .
Even though we haven't kissed a lot of times I still miss them .
But I refuse to let anybody dog me out .
I walked into the apartment with a sleep Liyah on my hip .
Mama was gone , like usual .
I laid her down carefully in the bed and took off her clothes and shoes before tucking her in .
I walked into the kitchen seeing a pile of mail .
Nothing but bills .
I looked in the cabinets that was almost empty .
I ran my fingers through my hair as I sat down and opened up some of the letters .
I noticed our lights were finna get cut out .
But momma told me she just paid the light bill . I sighed as I scratched my scalp
I just climbed in bed next to Aaliyah and fell asleep .
•••••
I woke up and got Layla ready for school .
I'm not going to school today .
I haven't been at the trap house lately but I see my little waitress checks aren't working out .
I gave her a kiss and watched as she walked into class before I walked back home to get that bag of drugs I had .
When I walked into the house I seen my mama asleep on the couch .
That's unusually .
Usually she'll be at work . I looked at her face that looked drain . I wanted to wake her up but decided against it and just let her sleep .
I low key don't think she been going to work lately .
I grabbed the book bag of drugs from out my hiding place and put it on my shoulders
Mom - Liyah ?
Me - Huh ?
Mom - where are you going ? Why aren't you in school ?
Me - that's where I'm going I lied . Why are you home ?
Mom - uhm my heads hurting she said coughing
I nodded looking at her weak body .
Lately I been noticing her body been getting weaker and weaker by the day .
She haven't been eatting , all she been doing is sleeping and she frequently complains about her head hurting plus she always coughs .
Me - mama are you okay ?
She looked at me with red eyes and nodded
Mom - I'm fine baby . Gone head , go to school . I love you her voice came out a little weak
Me - I love you too I said kissing her cheek as I took in the way her voice sounded
Guess I'm just now noticing this because this the longest she been home and talked to me in a long time .
I looked back at her once more before walking out the door .
Somethings not right with my mama .
||Travis||
The whole school day I didn't see Aaliyah .
I tried texting her but didn't get a reply .
I wonder if I ran her off and she was just avoiding me
She didn't even come to my house to tutor me
It was like that the next day .
Wednesday , it was the same way .
Same for Thursday .
I looked at my phone as I thought about apologizing .
I mean I don't regret kissing her but I don't like how she's ignoring me .
Even if that means it goes back to how it was when she was strictly my tutor I rather have it like that then her ignoring me
Me - baby girl I'm sorry .
I didn't get a reply .
I wanted her to come to my Football game tho .
This was my last one for the season and it was a really big deal .
Everybody was gone be there but
I wanted her to be there .
Friday made a whole week she wasn't in school and I started to get kind of worried so after school I debated on if I wanted to go to her house .
I did and knocked on the door .
An older version of Deja came to the door
Me - Is Aaliyah here ? I haven't heard from her since Monday and I wanted to make sure she's ok
?- No I haven't seen her since she went home on Monday
Me - went home ? Don't she live here ? I asked confused
She shook her head no
?- no Aaliyah's just always here with Deja I nodded and thanked her before getting back into my car
I shot Aaliyah a quick message
Me - is everything alright ?
Why would she lie to me about living at Deja house ?
Me - Mama I really want you to come to my last football game . It's Friday and it's a home game , if you don't come I'll understand . I'm sorry for pushing against you and kissing you .
