school? You know we are barely making it? No, you don’t know any of that because all you care about is what you want.” I started walking towards the door. “Zee get in there and heat up the food from yesterday. You eat and go to bed.”
    “Dee…”
    “Don’t do that, Mom. Don’t Dee, me. Like I’m the bad guy here. I don’t want to have to look over the little we have because you’re not at the place to get help. I can’t get it for you. You got to want it and you don’t. So, this is your life. Fuck us and do you, like ya been doing.”
    “I’m sick, Dee.” She let go of Zee, as I was pointing and glaring at him to move.
    “I know, Mom and I won’t enable your sickness. I can’t help you.”
    Her features changed, then she said, “I didn’t raise you to be such a bitch.”
    At that, Zee moved into the apartment because he knew it was about to get ugly.
    “No, actually you did, Mom. Raised me to be this very bitch standing in front of you. Taught me everything I know. How to sleep on money. How to grow up faster than I was ready to. How to look a user in the eye, no matter if they are my mother or not and give them hard facts. How to fight your crackhead friends, when they tried to take advantage of me and you either put them up to it or were too high to care. You taught me all the bitch moves. Now go back where you were and stay there. We don’t need you.”
    “Your father would be so proud,” she smirked.
    “Right, that man you never told me about.” I sighed. “Mom, bye.”
    “This is why I don’t come by here. You’re a disrespectful bitch to your own mother. I birthed you, fed you and took care of you. I fall on hard times and you treat me like the scum of the earth. You want to know why I don’t come.” She stood on her toes to get in my face. “This is why.”
    “Maybe,” I leaned down, letting the door close and got back in her face. “You are forgetting about all the times I did let you in. Let you take a shower, let you spend the night and you took everything you could carry. Even the wig on my head. You are forgetting about all those, ‘just one times’, and it’ll only be for a minute. You forget. I don’t. Cause I got to replace the shit you steal. I have to explain to Zee, why we have to eat at Aunt Birdie’s. Why his own mother,” I hissed. “Is not allowed in the house. Why she won’t be at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Or his goddamn birthday. So get the fuck outta here with your sob stories, Mom. You are not the same one that birthed me, fed me and provided shelter. You,” I raised my hand up and down pointed to her, “are not that woman.”
    Grabbing on to the door handle, I twisted and walked in, immediately turning all of the locks.
    “Fuck you, you stupid bitch,” she yelled. “Open this goddamn door. This was my place.”
    I slumped against the door and let the tears flow. She banged on it three more times, then I heard the neighbor’s door creak.
    “What the fuck are you looking at?” I heard my mom snap.
    The door slammed back. Once I looked up, I saw Zee staring at me. He came to me and said, “I’m sorry D’asia.”
    “Me too.”

    I t was Wednesday and I still had not heard from D’asia. My partner made it his duty to daily remind me that my crush on the beautiful woman was stupid. Not only was she living in the projects, but her brother was destined to be a future menace to society and we would be the ones locking his ass up. The sad part about the situation, he’d been on the force for ten years and this shit happened all the time. This was why you did not get involved with the people we served. It made our jobs harder. He made some comment about my mother disproving of the dark meat, but I let that slide. He was from a different era and that race shit meant something to him. I didn’t care one bit what color she was, the woman was under my skin. She could have been green for all I cared.
    I found myself looking for her
