"Mom, what are you doing here ?" Mya looked furious. I was happy my mom is back.
"Baby, I need your help." she sighed, but didn't move.
"Why you want my help now ? All times before, you wasn't around. I had to take care of Bridgett my damn self." she started crying and so did Mom.
"I'm here to tell you, I don't do drugs no more. I just need a new wardrobe." Mya stood up and looked at everybody.
"What size do you wear ?" she told her and Mom came in. She seen me and began to cry.
"My baby." she hugged me and mumbled it over and over.
"Hi, mommy." she smiled and looked around.
"Hello people, I am Teresa, Bridgett and Mya's mom. And you guys are ?" she smiled.
"I'm Kevin, Bridgett boyfriend." she nodded.
"And I'm Isis, Kevin's sister." and she smiled.
"And I'm--"
"August Alsina. I know you are with Mya." he just chuckled.
"I've been a fan. Your music is wonderful."
"Okay. Momma I will be back with your clothes. Make yourself at home and don't start nothing."

"So Ms. Teresa, why did you start doing drugs ?" Kevin asked and Isis popped him.
"No it's okay. I will tell the story. After Steve died, I went crazy. That was the man I love. I left Mya and Bri with my neighbor to go get some fresh air. A dealer let me try some coke for the first time, but I didn't know what it was. So I thought hey why not. I tried it once, but then I couldn't think straight without the drugs. I kept going to him and getti more, but then I owed some money. He said he knew about my life and would kill all of us if I didn't get his money. I left the kids because I didn't want them to be involved with my buisness. So after I payed my loan, I went to rehab to get clean, to start over. I just got out 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to see my babies. I did some research and found you guys here." she wiped her tears and everyone clapped.
"That's why you left us mom ?" Mya said. No one heard her come in.
"Yes. I love my babies and don't ever think I don't." she gave Teresa her clothes and told her what to do.
Mya
My mother came back downstairs looking fresh and smelling fresh. It's so good to see her like this.
"Here are the dirty clothes." I nodded and went outside to throw it out.
"Okay. Who wants momma's home cooking ?" everybody cherred and she went out to the kitchen. So good to have her back.
