“ I think my mom back on that shit. I think she was selling the food out of the house.” Nice spun around “Yo, and you still got that bitch in the house around my daughter! ” Mia nearly jumped out of her skin, she knew how he was when it came to Ky, her and Nice had been in plenty of scrapes before to know that he would not hesitate to slap her ass. “Where else is she supposed to go? Muthafucka you always acting like you better than me, you know how it is to have your mom strung out, don’t front, your mother the one who died of a crack attack!” Nice stared at her in disgust “Ayo, I should beat the shit out of ya ass.” He drew his open hand back but then he heard Ky in the car crying and stopped. He knew Mia and his toxic relationship was bad for Ky. He pointed his finger at Mia while snatching the driver’s side door open. “Have her ass out of my house Mia. I don’t want that shit around my shorty.”

He had a flash back of what him and his brother had to go through as children seeing their mother nodding off on the couch with a syringe in her arm, or her smoking crack in the house. The smell of burnt flesh as she burnt her fingers tips on the crack pipe. It was something that he tried to forget everyday of his life and he didn’t want his daughter to go through it. Digging in his glove compartment he threw some loose change that he had in the car at her, which was a couple of fifties and twenties. He pulled off out of his driveway with a loud screech of his tires, Leaving Mia in the driveway scurrying in a panic trying to chase down the money that was blowing in the wind and scattered on the ground. Nice cut his eyes to the rearview mirror at the pitiful site and shook his head in disgust.

The graduation lasted for about three hours. The speeches were dry and this one speaker stayed up there and spoke for what seemed a whole hour talking about nothing at all but trying to sound important. People were literally nodding off while he stood up there and talked. “Oh god hurry the hell up,” Lucky spat under her breath. Taneisha a cool chick and graduate in the same class who Lucky would kick it with from time to time when she was in CT sucked her teeth. “Girl I wish his ass would shut up, ain’t nobody even paying him no mind. I just wanna walk across that stage.” “I concur,” Lucky spat. Finally the speaker’s speech ended in a loud applause Lucky knew many weren’t clapping because the speech was great but instead because he was done. Right after that the ceremony started to move swiftly and before she knew it her name was next to be called.
