Chapter Ten
LaMeka
I’d been stressed out to the max ever since Kwanzie’s confession, and I’d lost about ten pounds in one week because of it. I wasn’t eating right, sleeping right, and I could barely think right. All that consumed me was worrying about whether I had the package. I’d even been let go from my job at the day care because I called in three days straight. Now I had no job, and I had to worry about paying Pooch’s car payments on top of that. One thing I wasn’t crazy enough to do was miss those payments. If I had to starve first, I would give that fool back his money. If he could fuck Trinity up for being around Dreads, imagine what he would do to me. Even the threat of HIV seemed a little better than pissing Pooch off. At least HIV was treatable. You couldn’t treat crazy. Not his kind of crazy anyway.
Who was I kidding? As much as I would want to believe facing Pooch would be worse, it wasn’t. One thing I desperately needed to do, though, was get my sister and take her down to the clinic. I may have been pissed about what she did, but she was my sister. She was only 17. I remembered being 17 and making dumb-ass decisions, but my decisions gave me Tony Jr. Misha’s might have given her HIV. More fucked up than anything, the same man could potentially ruin both our lives, and I didn’t know if I could live with that pain.
“Hi, Mom.” I greeted her with a hug and came through the door.
“Hey, baby. I’m glad that you wanted to come over and visit. Misha misses you.” I nodded in response as we sat down on the sofa. “Misha is only seventeen. She’s just making mistakes like we both did at that age. One thing we can both agree on is that a man is gonna always be a man, but you only have one sister,” my mom said.
I didn’t know this woman who had invaded my mother’s body. I wasn’t trippin’, because I was happy for the change in her, and with this news I was about to drop on both of them, this change came just in time. ’Cause right now, Misha and I needed our mother more than ever.
“Yeah, I know, Mama. I was just pissed off with her. I went through a lot to try to make it better for her. It wasn’t even about Tony. It was about Misha hurting me. I’d never do anything in the world to hurt her. Not even now.”
She lovingly squeezed my hand. The expression she gave was one of hurt and sadness. The heartbreak felt as if it oozed from her soul. “I know you wouldn’t, and that’s one reason—well, one of many reasons—I owe you an apology. I took advantage of you. Growing up, you were always more of a parent to Misha than I was. It was wrong of me to put that burden on you.
