Advice From A Loved One

[♡☈ɑ√əη]

~ Lil’ Girl, where the hell are you!?!

*A woman barged into the home of another, obviously having a key, on the hunt for someone.*

~ Let me tell you something, you better be laid out cold, face down in a pool of your own blood; I ain’t seen or heard from you in months! Cuz if you’re not, I’m gone KEEL YOU! Like you can’t find time from fighting He-Man’s little brother to pick up a phone & call the woman who birthed you! Hours & hours in labor screaming for your daddy to go to hell to give you life & not even a peep in the last few months?!

*The woman shouted & stormed throughout the house, her heels stomping loudly, still searching for this “Lil’ Girl”. Her search came to a stop as she found her in the middle of a workout – one-armed pushups to be exact.*



*Raven’s mother, LaTasha, stood before her with her arms crossed; Raven was well aware of her presence. How could she not be with all the yelling that was done?*

Tasha~ Keep on like you don’t see me. When I’m dead you’ll be boo-hoo’ing at my funeral though.

*Tasha stepped around her daughter over to a nearby seat, tossing her fur over her shoulder giving Rae a look*



*Raven stopped after another push sighing & hanging her head a bit. She rolled over to her knees looking at her mother*

Rae~ Hello mother. How are you?

Tasha~ Pissed! Tell me why I have to fly across the states to talk & see my only child?

Rae~ Better questions is how you’ve managed to dodge those red buckets from PETA.

Tasha~ They know better. & I don’t wanna hear no lip from you Ms. I-have-a-White-Siberian-Tiger-coat-in-my-back-closet.

*Raven turned her head getting to her feet taking a seat in the chair across from her mother.*

Rae~ Okay you wanted to talk, let’s talk.

Tasha~ What’s up with you committing career suicide dealing with that testosterone-dipped she-beast?

Rae~ Ugh!

*Raven rolled her eyes as she got up from her seat & walked out the room leaving her mother by herself. Tasha looked at her with surprised eyes as she let out a gasp. She pulled up from her seat following Raven downstairs*

Tasha~ Katrena Raven Mitchell, have you lost your mind?

Rae~ Look, I already got the talk from dad. I seriously don’t need another one. I know what I’m doing.

Tasha~ Obviously not if that man has already beaten you twice. You may try to keep things from me like your relationship with Victor, that tattoo on your backside & other stuff I care not to mention, but I KNOW you. You only going after Thor-lite to prove something to yourself.

Just like taking down the bully on the first day of school to get instant top rank, but for once you’re on the other end of the beatings & taunting unexpectedly. You’ve had your way with other people but this big bitch isn’t one to take lightly.

*Raven broke eye contact from Tasha crossing her arms & leaning against the wall. Finally looking back at her she had to ask*

Rae~ How’d you know about me & Victor?

Tasha~ I’ve always known. Even when he left you two are still seeing each other. You think you nickel slick, but I got ya penny change. Don’t change the subject. Dealing with Anya could get you a first plane ticket to early retirement if you keep this up. I may not like this profession you choose, but I keep up with it so I know you have a chance to be Queen of the Mountain & win that little gold title belt against that trashy lil ink girl & her trashy lil druggie girlfriend. Don’t blow it trying to one-up somebody you can’t even pick up. Go about this like you got the good sense mama gave you, capiche?

*Raven still avoided eye contact but nodded.*

Tasha~ Cuz you know you didn’t get any good sense from ya daddy. Got nerve to bring that Denise heffa in my house like I wasn’t gonna find out. Showed his ass. Hid in that closet & came out swinging at the both of them. But anyway tread lightly with this Anya girl. I’d hate for out next meeting to be in a hospital room.

*Tasha pulled in Raven for a hug, which Raven returned with a couple pats on the back.*

Tasha~ You know we gotta talk about that Z-boy and his baby mama situation right?

Rae~ No we don’t. I didn’t care about her then & I didn’t care when she returned. But she made it her bidness to attack me so what kind of person would I be if I didn’t return the favor?

*Raven smiled innocently as she tilted her head. Tasha just smiled back*

Tasha~ That’s my girl. I’m off; flew all the way down here might as well take in the sights while I’m at it. Think seriously about this little thing with Anya & why you’re really doing it & who for.

*those were the last words Raven heard from her mother as she walked out the door. Raven sighed deeply before going back up to her workout. If she would really heed her mother’s advice was a different story*
