Well, mom and me and the baby to be moved out to New York, i took samuel and lia's address and me and lia talked for a while.. but that stopped as soon as mama found out. "That's the past, child. I won't have you talking to them no mores." So mama took away the address and my letters.. but i knew where she kept them, she didn't throw it away or nothing..... i just didn't write no mores.... school was getting harder by now and mama was almost ready to have the baby. then one day, i came home from school and mama wasn't there. nobody was there. so i just stayed put and waited. eventually a neighbor knocked on the door and told me that mama was calling. see, we didn't have a phone so we had to use the neighbor's. so i went to the phone in her apartment and mama was on the other end, crying. i asked her was she alright and where she was. she told me that the baby had come and i had a baby sister. i was really happy but why was my mama crying? "She's a broken baby. She's ugly. I hate her!" then mama just hung up the phone like there was nothign else for her to say to me. the neighbor then shooed me outta her apartment and back into mine. i just sat and waited in the house. i got real hungry, i remember that, and there were a few things in the house. but mama was home the next day with my baby sister. but it wasnt my mama that came home, it was some evil woman who didn't like me or the baby. she didn't even wanna feed the baby. i keep calling her 'the baby' cause she didn't have a name yet, jsut 'baby girl michaels' and mama didn't care, she just stayed in bed and cried and cried. i don't understand why mama said the baby was ugly, her ears were just a bit small and her face was alittle flat but she was pretty. she had pretty green eyes and brown hair. just like me and my mama. i was eight by the time the baby was old enough to talk and me and her had a good time together, but mama... she never got any better.
