I woke up to my brother pouring cold iced water on my face.
"What are you doing here? I thought I kicked you out?" He said with anger in his tone
"I had no place to go, I know where you hide the spare key so I slept here over night." I said with a bit of fear.
"Well did you come up with the money you owe me for the rent?"
"No, I was bu.." I was interupted by him
"But what? You spent it on another girl last night? or is it because you needed a new light? or was it them damn ciggerettes? When are you ever gonna learn Zayn?!" He said with even more anger.
"NO! it's none of that. I try to get money but I'm not like you, I'm not succesful, I have no job, and I have no where else to go. Please Roger just let me stay for a couple more nights, atleast until I can figure something out." I said with mercy
"Fine, you have one week and you will be out of here. I don't want my son learning to be a person like you, you're a bad influence Zayn." He said as he exited my room.
(You see, my brother and his wife are soon to have a child it's going to be a baby boy, and I have this reputation around town known as the "Bradford badboy" always found smoking ciggerettes, drinking or stealing. My life isn't as easy as it seems.)
Once he has left I got ready and ran out to hopefully find this girl. I saw her sitting on the side of the curb so I walked over, sat down, and lit a ciggerette. She had her head down in her knees and her hair in the way so I couldn't see her face.
"Why are you all alone?" I asked
"go away."
"But I.."
"DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE" she pulled up her face and her lip started to quiver. Her lip was busted and she had a black eye.
"Wait what has happened? I am confused. what happened to your eye and your lip?" I said confused
"This! This is what you have done!" She yelled as she pointed at her face.
"I don't understand though."
"Nobody ever does." as she said that I wiped away the blood and leaned in to kiss her, she didn't hesitate and neather did I as our lips almost touched I heard someone walk up.
"HEY! get away from her." I loud deep voice said.
"And if i don't" I said as I looked up. Once I saw the person I was against I got scared. She quickly stood up from the sidewalk.
"I didn't do it! I, I promise." She studdered. You could tell she was frightened.
"Shut up and come on."
"But please no, I've done nothing wro..."
"I said come on." He yanked her by her arm and they quickly left. I was concerned because this man was way to old to be her boyfriend, she said over the phone she was the same age as me, that would be eightteen and he didn't look it.
Later that day I was out walking it was almost dawn when I found her, She was in an ally she had been beaten even more. I ran over to her, she was crying and could barely talk. I looked around and saw no one in site so I lifted her up and brought her to my brothers house. His wife Carly came to the door once I yelled "Hurry quick."
"Oh my god Zayn, what the hell have you gotten into?"
"Nothing! now would you like to help her or just stand here and argue?" we quickly layed her on their bed and gave her a drink of water. I got a wet paper towel and started to wipe away the dried up blood on her face.
"Thank you." she said, you could tell as she said it there was pain. "But you don't know what you've gotten yourself into."
"At this point, I don't care."
