My birthday was a week away and I had been working my ass off to pay for my dress , nails & lashes. I didn't have to pay for my hair because ja'laiyah does my hair most of the time and she offered to pay for my wig as my birthday gift.
I usually wore lash clusters but being that a lot was going on in a short period of time I decided that lash extensions would be smartest so I didn't have to worry about a cluster coming off or anything."Ma'kylin give me 50 bucks" my mom said busting into my room
"For what??" I asked scrunching up my face
"For what I need it for, now come on" she said holding her hand out
"I just gave you 150 last week, I can't keep giving you money when you don't pay me back." I said standing my ground
"Look , either you gon give me the money or you gon get the fuck up outta my house." She threatened
I rolled my eyes then went to my purse Taking a 50 out my wallet and handed it her. she practically snatched it out up my hand and closed my room door back slightly slamming it.
"Over here questioning me in my fuckin house" she said walking away as if it was the craziest thinking she's ever heard.
My mom was always asking me for money and I had no idea what she was using it for. whenever I would ask she'd catch an attitude and threaten to kick me out. I hated living here in the mess that she kept the house in but I couldn't afford to move right now , especially with how expensive things are getting to be.
Our house was messy and living room smelled from the cats litter box. We didn't have rats or roaches but there was papers boxes and whatever else almost everywhere. Any time I tried to clean up she would get mad and saying i was throwing away her things. She slept on the coach in the living room or in my little brothers make shift room while he was at his dads house. I wish I could have a clean house with a more normal life but I didn't so I either had to make my life good on my own or end up like my mom.
And I refused to end up like my mom.
I bought my car when I was 17 from working and doing hair on the side and never been more grateful for it.
I continued placing the order on a dress for my birthday so it would come on time to not only get to me but for me to get it dry cleaned and back here all in time for my birthday.
I looked at the price and sighed before pressing to buy it. I was trying to grow out the habit of Hoarding money and learning to spoil myself sometimes.
My phone chimed saying that the payment went through and I turned it off not wanting to over think buying it.
