"Hi tia, time to eat okay?"i said to Tia as she stumbled into my room.
She nodded with her thumb in her mouth and grabbed my hand.
"You wanna see Renzo today?"I referred to what she calls Lorenzo.
She probably thinks he's her dad because Makel just leaves money and goes.
'Imma be there for my child regardless.' The lies he can tell this nigga is sat at home with his son and yet again he lied
That's 'my cousin' he may be my best friends brother but he is such a bitch.
He barely even has friends, at least not the ones he had.
That night was mad it was all over BBC News in newspapers, magazines and all over social media.
Two boys where shot; Keantae and Lorenzo due to Makel's inability to listen.
Romani had twisted his ankle and broken his arm during whatever had happened.
Keantae was shot in his stomach and Lorenzo was shot in the arm, Makel was left unharmed he left them there though.
I guess to dispose of the weapons but he never came back and left his friends bleeding out.
But ever since then they don't chill like they used to, they're civil if any deals are to be made then it will happen but they're not friends.
When I had gone into labour I called Makel but he told me he was busy and said "it's probably a false alarm"
I had about two of them but I knew that I was for real.
I then called Lorenzo he had got a Legal job after that went back to uni so he wasn't out till 3 or 4 am anymore.
I called him around 12am and he was at my house within 10 minutes.
I'm thankful for him for that, he could have said no or he simply could have never answered.
He signed her birth certificate so she would be registered and he also allowed me to give her his last name.
He cut her umbilical cord, she will call him dada sometimes but Renzo most time and every few days he comes and sleeps over.
I love him everything that he has done for the past 2 years.
"mama, eat." She pointed towards her mouth and I placed her on the counter.
I live in a two bedroom flat on the second floor, I definitely love it here it's away from all the craziness that was happening before it was Rose and my dads idea to move me away i now live in Chorlton.
There is violence here but it's barely anything like what it was.
"Cheerios?" I asked her and she nodded.
I put her milk in the microwave for 15 seconds and put her down so she could go to the living room.
I picked myself a water bottle with a breakfast bar and got her milk and cereal.
"No toys right now, come eat Tia."
she ran over and climbed up on her chair and I put her bib on that catches food.
"What do you say?"
"Thank.. you mama" she smiled. I hand her the spoon and she carefully began to eat.
She occasionally asked me questions and I answered her.
Communication helps kids talk!
Incoming call Renzo🤠
"Hello?"
"Hey, what you doing ?"
"Nothing, what's Tia doing?"
"She was eating but she just finished"
"Hi princess!"
"hi Renzo, I eat Cheerios!"
"Good girl Tia, I'm coming to stay with you tonight be a good girl for mummy."
"she's always good ."
"..right, I love you Tia."
"Lub you dada."
"Kam... I'll see you inna bit init."
"Bye. Love- ...you"
"Love you too."
did not mean to say that.
"Let's go get a shower and we can go see Melani."
As a mum you find yourself talking to your child but it's mostly to yourself.
She will answer me sometimes though.
10:30
Usually on days of the week I try to keep us on a schedule, it teaches order for kids so they will get used to it.
"Tia, go get your shoes."
She ran towards the hallway and came back with her wellies, she can definitely find what matches her outfit .
It was cold today so I had to make sure she was dressed properly, I also decided to put her in the pram today since she was going to get tired of walking.
10:50
We were now sat on the 101 it was the most reliable bus and was either very early or about two minutes late.
It was actually so cold in the bus and I don't understand how these people are wearing shorts.

"Yo what the fuck are you doing?"Makel shouted at Khari.
"Makel don't shout at my son what's wrong with you?"
"Tell him not to touch shit what the hell."He huffed slightly pushing him towards me.
"Are you dumb? Why would you push him?"
I don't even like this nigga.
I'm only with him because of Khari and he loves his dad so I can't just leave him.
But he's so aggish it's unreal he's a baby of course he's going to touch he makes no sense.
"Khari, come time for a nap."
He ran up to me and we made our way upstairs and I took off his pants and left him in his nappy.
He took one of his toys and laid down.
"Bye Mama."He waved
"Bye Khari"
