Chapter 9: 🥀9🥀

Nova Lani Mashes

September 24

3:42 p.m

Me and Junie were in my room laying down watching Stomp The Yard. Since, I was suspended it wasn't really nothing for me to do. I would go to Milani's house but, I'm really trying not to run into Ant.

I decided to take me and Junie to see our mother. Junie doesn't remember her but knows she passed. Me , I remember all of our moments the good ones and bad ones.

I went into the bathroom and ran Junie's bath water.

"Juniper" I yelled.

"Aye quit all that hollering" My dad yelled, from his room.

He ran out to the hallway. He was looking sweaty but, that could be because of all the drugs he was doing . I ignored it and got up and went into my room.

"Junie come on" I said grabbing her off the bed.

"Wovaaa paw patrol is on" She whined.

"And it's still gon be on when we get back" I said.

We got in the bathroom and I stripped her down from her clothes. I put her in the tub and washed her up. I did her little hygiene routine and put her clothes on. She had on a white Sesame Street shirt with ripped jeans and Air Force ones. I put Bobo's and Barrett's in her hair.

"You look so pretty toot come outside so I can take your pictures" I said picking her up.

I went outside and took a couple pictures. I posted them on my Instagram cause my sister was too cute!

I turned off my phone and got ready. I grabbed my purse and headed towards the cemetery. It was fairly close cause of how many deaths the town has.

We made it to my mom's tombstone and sat down.

"Wova is this mommy" she asked pointing .

"Yeah this her" I said changing out her flowers.

"Can you tell me how mommy went bye bye " she asked.

"Yeah"

"One night daddy was really really mad and acting crazy. Mommy was distracting me by playing dolls with me. That's when daddy came in and grabbed mommy" I said, taking a deep breath.

"Why did daddy grab mommy" Juniper asked .

"Keep listening, when daddy grabbed mommy they started fighting. They started from my room to the living room. That's when daddy came in the room and started hitting me. Mommy came to save me though. She threw daddy off me. But that's when daddy got mad because mommy busted his lip" I said.

I felt the tears starting to form in my eyes.

"He reached for his pew pew and shot mommy" I said.

Junie gasped. "Daddy is bad" she said crossing her arms.

"Yeah that's why sissy trying to get us a new home" I said.

We stayed there for 30 more minutes. We left and headed for McDonald's. I got a ten piece McNugget and Junie a McNugget kids meal. We took our food to go so we could eat it at the house.

Father's House

We started walking up the driveway and I seen all of our stuff on the front porch.

"Junie stay right here for a minute " I told her, sitting out bags of food down.

What the fuck

I opened the door and it looked like a tornado blew threw the house.

"Y'all gotta go" My dad, said carrying my basket.

"What the fuck you mean we gotta go" I asked , scrunching up my face.

"Get the fuck out my house" he yelled.

He ran to his room and grabbed his gun.

"Listen, we'll leave just let me get our stuff" I said throwing up my hands , surrendering.

"You got 10 fucking minutes that's it" he said, running back in his room.

I started crying and ran to my room. I packed the rest of our clothes . I packed up my laptop and everything else that would be important to us.

I booked me an uber to the nearest motel. I opened my closet door and grabbed my safe. I had over 5,000 saved . This should last us a month. I threw it in my book bag and put it on my back. I finished packing up the last of our stuff and headed for the door.

"Bitch you still in my goddamn house" I heard him yell, opening his room door.

I quickly threw the suitcase outside and slammed the door behind us. I heard him laughing.

"Where we going wova" Junie asked, with tears in her eyes.

I could tell she was about to cry.

"We're not going to live here anymore" I said fixing myself. I felt my phone buzz and checked the notification.

🚙Uber has arrived 🚙

I looked up and seen a car pulling into the driveway. I grabbed our suitcases and Junie's hand. I opened the door and put all of our stuff in. I strapped Junie in and the Uber driver started driving us to the motel.

He kept eyeing us so , I took my seatbelt off just in case anything happened.

"Miss are you guys ok" he asked .

"Yeah if you don't mind I don't want to talk about it" I said giving him a half smile.

He shook his head understanding  and continued driving in silence.

Motel 8

I checked into the room and got us settled in. Junie cried herself to sleep while I was disinfecting the place. My phone was dead and I was tired.

Tired of life, tired of having so much responsibility, tired of this pain. All this could simply be gone if I just died.
