Chapter 1:
*Patience's POV*
Today was the time for me to move out of my momma's house. I was so freaking scared, I didn't know if I wanted to help the movers with my belongings, or pay them to stop. I stood in the kitchen with my hands on my hips, staring at all the memories that made me happy.
My mom was sweet, but she was awfully strict. My brothers, Chauncey and David jumped at the chance to leave when they got older. I decided to stick around, but now I have to leave. Here in Tampa, Florida, you needed money and a place to stay. I had both, considering I just graduated from law school, I had a better chance at everything. I finally came to my senses: I had to get my own place.
My name is Patience Harden. Sometimes I wish adult life wasn't an option, but here's my chance of freedom. I turned around to be startled by my mother's presence. Her eyes were an almond color, and they were filled with sorrow. Her curvy hips and butterscotch skin was smooth. Her hair was jet black, and flowed down her back.
"Patience you don't have to do this." She said with glassy eyes. I opened my arms to embrace her, and then waterfalls of tears made its way down our faces. "Its okay mom." I said as I caressed her hair. I stood back and saw that she would miss me for sure. "I'm only a phone call away." My voice quivered. "Patience, I know that." My mom giggled. We both laughed to tall the awkwardness that thickened the air. "So are you all set?" my mom asked as she patted my shoulder and walked over to the refrigerator. "Yea mom, all I have to do is pay the movers, and then I'm going to leave." I smiled. I could feel the tears coming up my throat as I said those words.
After three minutes of silence, I decided to leave. "Whelp, I'm gonna get going now." I said as I hugged my mother tightly. "Do you have the extra house key?" I asked. She nodded. "Do you have my cell number?" I asked as fresh tears corrupted the rims of my eyes. She nodded. "Well I'm gonna go. I love you mom, and pray for me." I said as she walked with me to the door. "I love you Pate." She whispered as tears streamed down her cheeks. She kissed me on the cheek. "Bye mom." "Bye" she responded. When I let my hand slide pass her fingertips and to the doorknob, I just realized that I was an adult, and I wasn't with my mom anymore.
She stood at the door as I made my way towards my Range Rover. I got inside and cried myself a headache. My strength returned as I sucked in my pride and drove away.
