SADE

I went back to my room after my mom assured me she was okay. I laid across the bed and thought about what had happened. As much as I was mad at my mom for believing Calvin over me, I couldn't bring myself to hate her. When Calvin attacked my mom, I felt helpless. Instead of helping her, my body remained glued to the chair. This was the first time I'd seen Calvin physically attack my mom. I now wondered if this was a first time thing or did it happen before and I just didn't know. Like my mom didn't know Calvin was doing those things to me.

Soon as I heard Calvin leave, I ran to their bedroom. It broke my heart to hear my mom cry from the other side of her bedroom door. Soon as my mom opened the door and pulled me into her arms, I forgot about being angry with her. I held on to her so she would know that she wasn't alone. Although my mom hadn't been there for me, I didn't have the heart to abandon her at this time.

Since my door wasn't completely closed, my ears went on alert when I heard the front door open. I rushed to my door, but didn't close it. I peeped through the crack. Calvin eased by my door and headed to their bedroom. Their door wasn't locked because Calvin turned the knob and walked right on in.

A few minutes later, I heard Calvin and my mom shouting at each other. They were so loud; I didn't have to stand by the door. I sat in my bed and heard their verbal exchange. After arguing for what seemed like half an hour, I expected to hear Calvin leaving again, but instead, I heard them making sex noises.

“How could she take him back after that?” I couldn't wrap my head around what I was hearing.

I hated Calvin more and more with each passing day. I couldn't figure out what kind of hold Calvin had over my mom. It irked me so much I wanted to scream, but screaming wouldn't do any good, so I didn't.

I sat there and dealt with conflicting emotions about my mom. A part of me hated her for allowing Calvin to hurt her and me, but Joyce was my mother, so I still had a soft spot in my heart for her. It would make life so much easier if I could outright hate my mom.

I dialed Crystal's number and told her about Calvin hitting my mom. “Can't she see Calvin's a menace and needs to be put out of our lives?”

“She's in love,” Crystal said, dragging out the word love.

“If love make you do stupid stuff like that, I don't ever and I mean ever want to be in love,” I responded.

Crystal smacked gum in my ear as she talked. “I know that's your mom and things, but somebody need to tell her a thing or two. My mama said, if it was her, she would have been kicked his sorry behind out of her house.
