“London wake up!”
I was laying in bed enjoying my beautiful sleep when my foster mom Bre decided to start yelling my name. I heard her but I still decided to turn over and pretend I didn’t.
I then heard footsteps coming up the stairs straight to my room. The door opened and I heard little feet running to jump on my bed.
“Lunny” I heard my five year old sister say.
“Please get up mom won’t stop yelling if you don’t”. She had a point when my mom wanted something done it got done ASAP.
Now I know the author told you a little bit about me in the summary that you may or may not have read but I’ll tell you more. I’m 20 years old birthday is June 12, 1999. I grew in the worst living conditions you could think of and it wasn’t because I’m from Chicago it was the people who created me.
My life was hell growing up I took all the abuse you could think of until I was 9 years old. Someone at my old school called CPS on my parents and they immediately took me out of that house once they seen the bruises.
After 3 years of being in foster care a family came in talking about their fertility issues and how bad the wanted to have a child to love no matter the age. Those people are Bre and Shawn Walker this beautiful interracial couple who took me in and made me feel like family.
This little girl who just jumped in my bed is Emmy she is actually Shawns niece but because his brother unfortunately passed away due to an overdose he took her in as his own.
My life has been on the upside since I moved here to New Orleans with them. Ok actually at first I was a little defiant to staying because they don’t have pizza like Chicago they don’t have Harolds and I was truly hurt when Bre couldn’t tell me what mild sauce was.
In the end you see I got over things lol cause I’m still here. What do I do here you way be wondering well I have a actual store here called World Of Beauty and we have from fashion to makeup and jewelry. I decided not to go to college because no matter how smart I am I’ve never wanted to be a forever student I loving running things my own way. I’ve had a few famous people come into my store like Sevyn Streeter, Toya Wright, Ne-Ne leaks, and a few more.
My parents didn’t buy it for me either I pay a monthly fee and work my butt off because I know one day things are going to take off for me and I’m more than ready.
Now let’s get back to the story.
I get up and hurriedly brushed my teeth and washed my face. “London Walker if I call up those stairs one more time you won’t be happy”.
I am grown and she still talk to me like this. “Here I come momma” I said walking down the stairs into the kitchen. “Girl what took you so long your food is getting cold and I know you want to see if you won that competition on tv at 10 this morning”
“Yes mom I do and I appreciate you for making me breakfast” I gave her a kiss on the cheek and sat down.
“I know my baby gonna win because you are the best. You know that right?” I smiled at her.
“Yes I do thank you momma love you”
“Love you more baby girl. Now hurry up and eat so you won’t miss it” I just nodded and finished my food.
The competition she is talking about is the one I entered into the Ellen show. It’s basically one store owner who gives back the most is going to win and can get a check for $50,000. From what I researched I have this in the bag I give back every holiday and help a counted 400 families in need around the world. I usually wouldn’t care about the number but once I entered the competition I had to know how far ahead I was.
Even if I don’t win I won’t stop helping. Ellen wasn’t the reason I started in the first place we all deserve a equal opportunity to eat and live free so I do my part to help.
We all made our way to the living room and I wish Shawn was here but he’s working today. Speaking of the dad my phone started pinged.
One Voicemail
“Hey sweetheart this is dad just wanted to wish you good luck today m. I know you’re going to win because you’re awesome like your dad. Ok I have to go back to work now been hiding in the bathroom for too long. Love you”.
We all laughed at him hiding in the bathroom. My heart felt weird because of how much these people who don’t even know me love me and yes I should be use to it by now but feelings and trust is hard for me. Don’t get me wrong I trust them with my life but both parents don’t forget to remind me that they’ve never even seen me cry.
My attention was now on the screen as the Ellen show stater playing but she wasn’t in her seat it was twitch. “Hey everyone we’re going to postpone the reading of the winner till next week Ellen is sick and really wants to be the one to do it. So go to social media and send love her way....”.
I had zoned out after tha because now I have to hold these nerves till next week thank you sickness.
Since I wouldn’t get the result today I decided to go shopping for my mom. I ran upstairs tied my hair into a curly bun and got in the shower.
Once I got out I brushed my hair up some more and then decided to wear my flower skirt overalls with a yellow crop top and some white sandals. It’s always hot here so don’t expect sweatpants unless I’m in the house with air conditioning.
Walking through the grocery store picking up food was making me hungry as ever. I was turning the corner when I bumped into a damn wall or something.
“Ouch your head may have left a bruise on my chest” he said smirking as I looked up.
Did he just come for my head “Whatever your strong body ass almost knocked me down”.
He was just staring at me and it was making me mad “What are you looking at sir?”
“Damn do I look that old I’m not a sir I’m only 21 how about you?” He said still staring at me.
“You look a little crust but I’m only 20. Now can I finish shopping or you going to stand in my way?”. His eyes felt like they were looking into my soul reading exactly who I am. It made me slightly uncomfortable.
“Crusty? I-” before he could finish a girl walked up to us. “Baby where did you go?”.
She reached out her hand to me “Hey I’m Mandy this is Marcus my boyfriend. You are??”
So he was really flirting with a whole girlfriend. This why I don’t date cause men sneaky women too but I don’t date them so not my problem.
“Just leaving”. I wasn’t giving them my name let alone anymore of my time. I walked away and went to the register. While waiting in line to buy my stuff the went to the one next to me and he was staring the whole time. So I did what was best stuck up my middle finger until everything was purchased and I walked out.
