Thug Love Fairy Tale - BOOK 1 (not yet edited)

Chapter 3

Today wasn't going my way at all, My parents called this morning to let me know they were extending their trip a lot longer. My dad said he didn't even know if they would be back for Christmas next week. My mom said it wasn't a big deal because my 'Fat ass should miss a big meal like Christmas dinner'. I was use to my mom's harsh words and parents never really being present in my life but I'm not going to lie it hurt, I mean who leaves there kid alone for Christmas? My dad's family is constantly asking for money telling my father that he has to remember where he came from, the only person he talks to is my aunt Shea and that's because she doesn't just expect or take from him. My mom let go of her family a long time ago, she got her ride with my dad's money for bigger and better things and didn't bother to look back.

I didn't bother going to the Café for lunch, I figured since I had dance as my next course I would just start early in the studio and warm up. This class really was the only saving grace this school had... that and King. I spent the lunch hour dancing my little heart out trying to forget my stupid life well tears ran down my face.I was angry, I was hurt, I was sad.  Once I was finished I was out of breath and couldn't help the sob that left my mouth...

"Oh shit" I heard people say

When I looked up everyone was there Trina, CeCe, Mel, JoJo, Marcus, Kirk, and King. I frowned and whipped the tears from my face quickly trying to cover it up.

"What's wrong?" the girls said coming over to hug me

"Nothing I can't handle" I said putting on a smile that didn't reach my eyes "What are y'all doing her?" I asked

"You weren't at lunch" CeCe said in a duh tone

"We wanted to skip the last two periods, we called to see if you wanted to come" Mel said

"When you didn't answered I was worried " Trina said

"That was the shit Jazzy, You coming with us ?" JoJo asked

"Uh yea I guess, just give me a chance to change out of my dance stuff" I said

"Alright meet us out side" Kirk said

Everyone left but Trina

"What's wrong girl?" she said

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing " I said

"Jazzy, I know it's something to be worried about if your crying, so tell me"

"My parent decide not to come home for Christmas, my mom wasn't even sorry about it" I said shaking my head "She just said that it would do my fat ass some good not have a big meal like Christmas dinner and I should be thankful about that" I said

"Girl stop crying over your mama's foolishness, you are an incredible girl and if your own mother can't see that, then there's something wrong with HER not you but HER! " Trina said "And as for Christmas, girl all you had to do is say something, JoJo, Kirk, King, and CeCe all come over to grannies for Christmas dinner... JoJo, Kirk, and King,... there moms past away a little while ago and fathers aren't in their lives so since we were little they all came over to grannies for dinner, and CeCe.. her mother doesn't do anything, sometime she doesn't come home so CeCe basically raises herself. Jazzy we all have issues but we can't spend are whole life crying about It, we just have to surround ourselves with people that have our back and move forward" She explained "So what do you say lets do a big Christmas sleep over you, me and CeCe?" Trina asked

"Alright... Thanks, Trina " I said smiling

"No problem girl, now hurry up and change!" she said before walking out of the gym

I quickly changed out of my gym clothes, grateful that the shower room was empty, making quick work to rinse off in the cold water. Once I was changed, I walked out to meet everyone. Lunch was still happening so no one would know we left for a while.
