When my shift at the hospital was over I picked up my shit and left heading towards my car.
"Mane I need some sleeeppp, this shit hard as hell.. why'd I choose to be a nurse again?" I said yawning as I unlocked my car, getting in.
I put my bag on the passengers seat and pushed the start button on my car then started pulling off.
I made a quick stop at the gas station to get some chips and a back wood.
When I was done I started driving home, it's a long way home so I connected my phone to the aux and blasted my trap music.
"...von! Before I die, they gon remember me for being in these streets and slanging heat, ain ducked no enemies... I want the toughest nigga, ian never preyed up on the weak...and yo li baby momma lip real good but that bitch pussy weak..." I rapped along as I stopped at a red light.
"...mane this shit ah get ugly, nawl this shit ah get brazy... Roy got killed that made me crazy, couldn't do shit I was in them cages, " I bopped my head as I scrolled threw my playlist thinking of what I'ma play next.
"...now I got the biggest bag, you know this niggas mad, he t-..." I was cut off by my phone ringing, it was my dad.
"Fuck this man need me for?" I scrunched my face up then threw the phone in the cupholder.
"Over here calling my phone and shit, " I mumbled as I started driving again.
I smacked my lips and picked up the phone accepting the call.
"Hey baby girl!" He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah dad, what's up?" I said as I cut down the volume a little.
"Why youn be coming to visit us no mo' ? We family Misha!!" He said raising his voice a little.
"Why don't you shut yo old grumpy ass up, y'all only call me up when y'all need sum..that's not how family work!!!"
Now if I said that, I would be wrong.
Right?
Smh...
"Da, ion feel like it.. That's it," I mumbled loud enough for him to hear.
"What you mean?" He asked.
"Da I be busy with all this nursing shit, ion be having no time to socialize" I replied as I quickly looked at my rear mirror.
"You drivin'?" He asked.
"Yeah dad, why?" I replied.
"Come thru the house Misha, yo momma and yo brothers miss you, I miss you" He said and I ran my tongue over my top row of teeth.
"Ion kno d-..."
"Misha please, yo momma made dinner" He cut me off.
I sighed "Ight, I'ma be there soon, gimme a minute" I replied hanging up the phone.
I made a u-turn and headed towards my family house.

"Mimi!!!" My little brother, DeAndre yelled running up to me when i stepped out the car.
He my favorite.
"What's up Andre?" I hugged him tight then squeezed a $50 dollar bill in his pocket.
"I'm okayyy- what's that?" He asked scrunching his face up as he searched thru his pocket.
His eyes widened when he saw it "Thanks Sisi" He hugged me again.
I chuckled "Shhh.. That's between both of us" I whispered to him.
"Okay, got it" He whispered back.
We conversed as we walked in the house.
"Where Dee at?" I frowned looking around for my other brother, DeAngelo
"Uh- I think you should talk to dad, " Dre said walking off to the diner.
I walked up to the diner then took a sit next to Dre.
Momma walked out the kitchen "Mimi?" She held her hand over her chest.
"Momma?" I avoided eye contact.
In 3,

She buss out crying.

"Ky'misha Cleopatra Rodriguez!!" She yelled through her crying.
I rolled my eyes "Momm-..."
"New year!!! Yeen come to visit us since new year????!" She yelled.
"I BEEN BUSY!!" I yelled back.
"Busy?.." She laughed "Girl, this yo family!!" She yelled louder.
"Momma nine times outta ten, y'all call me up when y'all need sum, that's not how family work ma!!"
"Shii that's how you feel?" Dre mumbled shaking his head.
"Dre, its not bout y-.."
"Nah nah its coo." He licked his lips as he started fixing his plate and I placed my face on my palm.
"Ky'misha, we got alotta problems.. It ain't our fault, " My mum said sniffing and wiping her tears.
I lifted my face up "Ma, ian say it was yo fault but y'all don't be caring bout all the hard work I gotta go thru everyday to make this money, all y'all do is ask ask ask.."
"Cos we have needs!!" She yelled.
"Ma, DeAngelo?!! He paralized or sum? why can't he work?!!" I asked tilting my head to the side.
"He..." She stuttered
"He gotta do sum ma.. I work so hard to put food on er'body table, sometimes ion pay my damn bills cos' of y'all, ma..when my paycheck come, I be putting y'all first before myself, I starve to make sure y'all eat.." I said standing up.
".. Ma I work so damn hard to make sure everybody straight but when it come to me.. Its like ouuu welp 'Fuck her'.. "
"You ain never said this!" My dad said walking in.
"But do I gotta say it? Y'all my family, y'all pose' to look out for me WITHOUT me telling y'all first!!" I yelled getting frustrated
"You making it sound like ion be texting you to come over!!" Momma yelled and I scoffed.
"This not even about me coming over no mo', its about how y'all don't be giving a flying fuck bout me and how I'm coping, " I replied.
"How?" Dre asked.
"DeAndre this not bout you!!!! just- go to yo room or sum" I said taking a deep breath.
"Misha you know we love you, " Momma said.
"WELL SHOW IT GOT DAMMIT!!" I said picking up my purse and walking out.
"Ky'misha!!" Momma called.
"Ky'misha come back here NOW!!" She yelled and I shook my head in disappointment.
I walked out and banged the door then I ran to the car as tears ran down my face.
I rested my head on the steering as I started crying..
"JESUS? JESUS? JESUS I need you now, please! Comfort me please i-i need you!" I prayed as tears ran down my face.
"Ye-yeah I know ion pray all the time but LORD YOU see my heart, i'm hurting please help me, " I whispered.
All my childhood trauma came rushing back to my mind
"Please LORD help m-..." I was cut off by someone knocking on the passanger window.
I looked and seen it was Dre.
I wiped my tears quickly then took a deep breath as I took the window down
"Heyy dre, i-i was just checking if I have any gas lef-.."
"I need to talk to you Sisi, " He said in a serious tone and I stared at him, he looked uneasy.
"C-come on in, " I said unlocking the car and he got in.
"What's up?" I tried to smile at him little but he kept a straight face.
"I-it's DeAngelo..." He said with a serious look and my heart dropped, I knew sum weren't right.
