Real Daughters of Atlanta Ch. 2- Neveah's Problems

After a day with the girls Neveah comes home to an empty pent house apartment she shares with her father. She goes and takes a shower and starts with her beauty ritual in the vanity mirror in her bedroom, she stops after staring at herself in the mirror and turns to her journal:

You know me, Ariean, and Rayne got these stupid journals in middle school so we could write things down and share them with each other, mines was always empty and it pissed Rayne off, but that’s why I left it empty. I never was one for sharing my feelings because my parents never asked me how I felt about anything so I thought why share if no one cared. Lately though I been writing in this thing daily, not really my feelings but just the crazy things that happen to me and the girls. I’m glad we don’t share these diaries anymore otherwise Rayne would be trying to give some fake ass Dr. Phil love. Half of this diary is what was happening in New York, if my mom would have been paying attention to this diary I would have been back in Atlanta a long time ago lol. Man New York was an experience though, I had this guy named Anthony spoiling me like I was a princess! I lost contact with him because my parents took my phone and blocked his number and changed mine, talk about over kill huh. I hate to say this because I never thought I would but I think I was in love with him, sure he was like 40 something but he treated me in such a way I don’t think I’ll ever be treated again. It’s bad enough that my parents took the only person that I really wanna be with, but even they aren’t here for me. My dad is always working because he’s opening a new luxury apartment complex, and my mom is back in New York being wined and dined by her new boyfriend Cash. I just wish I had someone in my life like that, but college is around the corner maybe I can snag one of those upper class men or future NFL or NBA players! Wishful thinking but that’s what a diary is for, right?

After writing in her diary about Anthony, Neveah tries to find him again on Facebook, but no luck. After that she tries to remember his phone number or find the paper she wrote it on but again no luck. After tearing her room to pieces to find his number or email address even, she sat and wondered if she would see him again. Later that evening Neveah’s father, Dom, comes home from work. “Hey daddy, how was work”, Neveah says hugging her dad so tight he almost gets lifted off the ground, “Hey baby, work was fine how was shopping with the ladies”, Dom says finally escaping her clutch. “It was fine, I even got you some new outfits for dinners in the Bahamas”, Neveah says smiling, “Oh sweetie I don’t think that invite was for me too, and if it is I don’t think I would go, you know how me and your mother are, and I don’t want to ruin your trip”, Dom says with his back to Neveah, once he turned around he saw her sad expression. “Look it’s not that I don’t want to go with you and celebrate your graduation, I don’t want to ruin it that’s all”, Dom says sweetly while rubbing her cheek, “Yeah I get it, it’s fine I don’t know why I thought you would wanna go, I’m gonna go to bed I had a long day”, Neveah says slipping out of her seat, “Well I thought maybe we could catch a movie on TV, it’s horror night your favorite”, Dom says trying to change her attitude, “No it’s ok daddy, I’m really tired maybe you could DVR it for me or something”, Neveah says half way up the stairs. In her room Neveah breaks down crying. She reaches for her phone and calls Rayne and doesn’t get an answer, so she sends her a text message: I really need a friend right now, please call or text me back. Hope you aren’t mad about me and Ari asking about your job too, we’re just worried about you that’s all :).
