"What the hell! Girl why?"
"Long story, but I'd rather be here anyway."
"Wow, well what now?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Knowing my parents, they're on a plane to come and get me right now."
"I don't blame them. I can't believe you hold that kind of weight. When I lived with my parents, I could never just book a flight and leave whenever I felt like it."
"I can do whatever I want, and the quicker they realize that. the better off we'll all be."
"That type of thinking won't get you too far in life, Asia. I used to have the same type of attitude, and you see where that got me."

"Well my situation is a littler different."
"True, but they can always disown you when you get eighteen."
"Yeah, but I know they won't."

"If you say so, Asia. Just keep that in mind."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's Cherish? I don't remember ever coming over here and not seeing her."
"I don't think we're on speaking terms right now."

"What? How come?"
"It's a long story."
"And I have time."

"She's just too sensitive."
"Well, she didn't get emotional over nothing. What did you do?"
"I may have said something that wasn't necessarily called for."
"I see. What did you say?"

She started breaking down everything that happened. I couldn't believe Mickey would have said that, but then again it's not like Cherish to get that angry either. It must be something going on with her.

"Are you sure that's what she was mad about?"
"I guess. I mean, she was fine before I said it."
"What you said could have triggered something else. Call her."
"I tried. She won't answer."
"Okay." I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Cherish's number. She picked up on the third ring.

"Hey girls how's Jamaica?" She asked.
"I'm actually at Mickey's house. I think you should come over."
"Or not."
"Why are you upset?"
"Well she just keeps putting me down all the time. I told her about Victor and how we were going out and she keeps telling me things won't work out. I'm sorry all her relationships failed or are failing, but at least give me some hope." Because the phone was on speaker Mickey was in awe at what Cherish.
"Right."
"I just don't have time for that. All my life in foster care all I had was people telling me I would never be anything, treating me any kind of way and anything else they could think of. My father...things are so awkward and he doesn't understand me at all. I just get so frustrated and for someone I would call my best friend to say something like that....it hurt me. Now days I feel like that only one that gets me is Victor. I don't want to drive him away with all my problems, but I can depend on him. No offense."
"None taken, but I think you should talk to her. I'm sure she didn't know things were that bad when she said it."
"Yeah, but I still want an apology."
"I'm sorry." Mickey blurted out. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. I just...I just hate to see other people happy when I'm not."
"You heard everything I said?" Cherish asked.
"Yeah...and I'm so sorry."
"I accept your apology, but what are you so unhappy?"
"Shuneal and I just have been arguing a lot lately over little stuff and its frustrating. All Trey wants to do is get Mekhi when he wants and drop him off when he wants. I don't want to take him to court, but if he keeps it up I will have too."
"Sorry to hear that...you know what I'm on my way over." Cherish hung up and Mickey started to tear up.

"You alright?" I asked.
She nodded. "I didn't mean to hurt Cherish's feelings. I just feel bad."
"Don't. She said she forgives you."

"Yeah I know...I just wish things were right." After talking for a while Cherish finally arrived so we could all talk.
"You okay?" Cherish said to Mickey.
"No I just want better." Mickey whined.
"But you have us."
"Yeah, but I don't have a family."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well my father...I never knew him. If he is around I wouldn't even know what he looked like. And well I haven't talked my mother in years. When I started messing with Trey she kind of pushed my away. When I got pregnant with Mekhi she kicked me out and told me to never come back. Luckily I had money saved for work and Trey and I were able to make a down payment for an apartment. I didn't even finish school. I don't want my son to have to live like this. Seeing you all and you're family and the money you have makes me so jealous."
"Oh girl it's not all that."
"What do you mean?"
"Well my family has everything, but time for me. Then they come up with this bright idea to take me to Jamaica then talk about moving. I'm always by myself...I get left at home by myself all the time. It's lonely and the little fake friends I have at school are only there, because our parents are close. Trust me it's not all that."
"What about you Cherish?" Mickey asked.
"Well all my life I was in foster care. I just kept jumping from home to home. I had some tragic moments...that I rather not relive. Staci was like my guardian angel. Sometimes I would act up around my foster parents just so they would send me back. Staci kept saying I had to get my act together, but she was like the mother I never had. Honestly I just couldn't see myself being away from her. Then she told me about my dad. He comes home from jail and scoops me up, brings me to this grand house with everything in it. I love him, because I've always wanted a father, but he's still a mystery. I don't know what he does and as much as he tries to play the role of my father, I find it weird. Good thing is, Staci and him are dating so I just may have a real family after all...but who knows." Cherish said.
"Wow and I thought I had it back."
"Nope, but I think we were meant to be friends. We all have our share of life troubles, but I feel that somehow us being friend might make us stronger." I said.

Mickey and Cherish nodded, but didn't say anything. Just when I was about to speak again, Shuneal came into the room.
"Sorry to interrupt, y'all. I just need to borrow Mickey for a second." He motioned for him to follow her out of the room.
"I'll be right back," she said as she stood up and left.

"Have you talked to Jay-Sean?" Cherish asked.
"Oh no...Jay-Sean I almost forgot." I took out my phone and started texting away. I never told him that I had made it back home so we could hang out.
"So technically...are you missing?"
"Yes...I mean no...yes...well technically I'm not missing, my parents just don't know I'm here, but I'm sure my butler probably called them."
"Wow you're pretty bold huh?"

I shrugged. "I just have to do what's best for me. And what's best for me isn't Jamaica."
"You could not have been my child, Asia. I would have put you directly over my knee and spanked you a long time ago."
"My parents know better than to try and hit me. I swear, I would scream at the top of my lungs until a neighbor hears and calls the police."

"Wow...well I guess that's how it is when you're rich."
"What does that mean? You're rich too."
"Just recently." I said looking up when Nicki walked in the room. By the look on her face I could tell something was bothering her.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.
She just shook her head and sat down. "Nothing."
"Something. Tell us what's up," Cherish intervened.

"Shuneal is angry, he checked my phone and heard the messages Trey left."
"What did they say?" He asked.
"He keeps threatening me about not letting Mekhi stay with him longer."

"Why don't you let him?"
"Because... it's complicated."
"Can't be that complicated."

"Trey isn't responsible enough for me. Now that I don't live with him I cant see what he's doing so who knows what he has my son around."
"Why don't you take him to court?" Cherish said.
"Are you crazy? He would probably beat my ass and try to take Mekhi forever."

"You know Shuneal won't let him touch you. But maybe you and Trey can work something out."
"Like what?"
"I don't know. You can keep Mekhi during the week and let Trey keep him on the weekends. Or maybe y'all can all chill together on the weekends."
