Reflecting On The Younger Years Miss Wayne

Wayne, Parade, Sky and Daffany built an unbreakable bond. No longer did Wayne feel like an outcast or any of them for that matter. They finally belonged…together.

One afternoon over Wayne’s house, they were all enjoying some turkey sandwiches and cool homemade lemonade in the kitchen when Wayne noticed Parade’s dingy clothing.

“Parade,” he said after sipping his juice, “how come your clothes never look clean?”

Parade looked at him and then the rest of her friends. “What you mean?” she asked swallowing hard.

“I love you, honey but you just never look fresh,” he said softly. He truly wasn’t trying to embarrass her. Their friendship had grown so much that he knew he could ask her such a personal question around the rest of their crew with no hard feelings because they all loved her.

“I try to wash my own clothes but if my mother don’t give me no money, then what can I do?”

“Well,” Wayne said dipping into his pocket, “I have ten dollars and you can have it.” He pushed the money across the table to her.

Sky and Daffany looked at Wayne and followed suit.

“I have two dollars,” Daffany said. “I tongue kissed this boy at school the other day and he gave it to me. You can have it though.”

“Here’s ten from me. I can get you some more anytime you need it. All you gotta do is ask,” Sky bragged. “You know my peoples’ pockets stay fat.”

Parade took the money into her small hands, looked at her friends and cried. Stuffing the money inside her pocket, she stood up and said, “Thank you…but ya’ll don’t know what kinda life I got, and you wouldn’t understand it even if you did. Nobody would.”

“Help us understand.” Wayne said standing up from the table.

“It’s too hard. I have to go!” She said before bolting out the front door. She could be violent if followed and her friends knew this so they left her alone.

Parade ran to her house, which was in the same apartment complex that Wayne and the rest of her friends lived. The moment she opened her front door, she saw her father sitting on a leather recliner, rocking and watching Family Feud on TV.

“What’s wrong, baby?” he asked seeing her upset.

“Nothin’,” she said wiping her tears. “I’m okay.”

“You sure?”

“Yes.”

“I can’t tell. I could swear I see tears in my daughter’s eyes,” he said kindly.

Parade walked up to her father amazed at how different he was from her mother. He talked to her when they were alone whereas her mother acted as if she didn’t exist.

Parade walked slowly over to her father, and sat on his lap. “Now…tell me what’s wrong, baby?”

“My friends are so much better than me. They have new clothes and money to do stuff with and I never got nothin’. I’m embarrassed to go to school sometimes, daddy. I hate my life.”

“I know money’s been tight around here,” he said holding her lovingly in his arms, “but things will get better.
