Continuation
Karin's House, Midnight

CHRIS

It took me a little while to get to her but I was finally here. I pulled onto her street, passing nice houses with driveways crowded with nice cars. This was my first time coming to her house and seeing how she lived. I obviously assumed the girls family had money based off of her wardrobe and car but from the looks of it they were more loaded than I thought.

When I finally reached the house my gps was taking me to I spotted Karin sitting on the curb with another girl I'm assuming is her sister. I pulled up to the side of them putting my car in park.

Remembering her sisters words "I don't know you but you must be someone special to my sister..." It dawned on me that she didn't know who I was. And now here I am in front of their house in a Lamborghini. Should have definitely drove a more subtle car.

I opted out of getting out the car, don't wanna turn this situation into being about me. So I just sat there waiting hoping she would just get up and get in the car..

KYMORA

I sat there on the curb with my sister, trying to comfort her as much as I could but the truth is I needed comfort too. I don't understand why our parents would lie to us about something like this. I'm so mad and so hurt for Karin. The headlights of a car coming down the road pulled me out of my thoughts. It pulled up directly in front of us and I notice it's a purple lambo. My fade scrunched up as I look over at Karin who hasn't said a word this entire time.

"Kar.. who the hell do you know driving a car like that?" I asked her assuming this was the 'Chris' person she made me call.

She looked up at the car but ignored me. She was still crying but attempted to stand up on her feet. As she stumbled I helped her.

"Go in the house Ky.." She said dryly.

"What? No. I'm not going in there with her."

"Yes you are. That is your mother and you are a minor. I'll call you later." She said and proceeded to the passenger door of the car.

As she opened the door I tried to peek in to see who it was but I couldn't get a good look.

She got in, closed the door and they drove away.

CHRIS

We were back at my crib. I walked her straight to my room. She sat on the edge of my bed, still silent and still crying. I didn't what to say without knowing what had happened, but the least I could do is hold her for now.

I sat next to her pulling her body into mine. "Just let me know when you're ready to talk baby."

She sniffed a few times before pulling away and sitting back up. "Get me a blunt."

I nodded, standing and going to do just that. I had a box of pre-rolls so if she wanted to smoke all night, she can.

I handed the lit blunt to her and she hit it hard 3 times. She's just like me. Takes nothing but some good weed to calm me down and pull me back together.

After awhile she finished it by herself she had finally stopped crying and was just staring at me.

"You good?" I asked.

"Not really but I'm high as fuck." I lit out a small chuckle.

"Yeah I bet you are. Im here for you when you wanna talk about it..."

She sighed. "My mother isn't really my mother. My father was a cheater and a liar. Then he died and left me with the person that hates me with everything in her. While somewhere out there I have a young, junkie ass mother who never even wanted me. if she's even alive herself..."

I stared at her in disbelief while tears ran down her face. She fell back on my bed using her hands to muffle her cries. Hearing her and seeing her like this hurt me. She's cried in front of me before once or twice but this was different. Nothing I say could make her feel better. No amount of time would mend this kind of hurt. I felt helpless and I really couldn't gather the right words to say to her.

"Kay I'm so sor-" before I could get my sentence out she leaned back up quickly pinching something in between her finger nails.

"Is this panties?" Her voice cracked. I looked at what was in her hand and instantly knew I just made her night way worse than it already was. I grabbed them out her hand, stood up and threw them in the trash. Turning back to her, I walked back towards the bed holding arms out to her.

"Karin I-"

"Get away from me."

"Please don't, I just want to be here for you.."

"Whose are they?" she asked mugging me.

"Can we not do this right now. It's not important.." she busted out laughing.

"You're right. It's none of my business what hoes you had running through your house. I honestly shouldn't have came here." she said standing up walking towards the door. I grabbed her arm pulling her back. "Karin its the middle of the night where are you gonna go. I'm sorry you saw that, I swear it meant nothing to me. I was just.... sad, lonely." I shook my head wishing now I never slept with Indya.

"I can imagine that's the same bullshit my father feed my mother after he cheated on her and brought someone else baby in her home." she looked down fighting back any more tears from spilling.

I sighed. "But I didn't cheat cause were not-"

"But you would tho." she said cutting me off. "If you and I were together you would cheat on me. Because you're a grown ass man that can't control yourself and I'm a little girl with nothing to offer you but shame." she pulled her arm away from me. "But you're right. I have no where to go. Can you direct me to a guest room? I'll be out of your hair in the morning."

"That's not true, you're special to me and you know it.." I replied looking into her eyes.

"I don't though! Tell me. For once admit that you have feelings for an 18 year old and you don't know what to do with them.." she stated blankly at me.

"If there's one thing that's not a secret between me and you it's the way I feel about you. But if you need to hear me say it... yes I like you, a lot. You're beautiful. I love your personality, I love spending time with you. You make me laugh, you just make me feel like a person. I do dumb ass shit I know, I just hate that I have to wait to have you." I was holding her hands in mine as I talked but she gently pulled them away.

"Yeah, and the dumb shit you do reminds me more and more that it's never gonna work between us." She spoke above a whisper. "I have enough going on, I don't think I can handle what else you may do to hurt me. I'll find the guest room myself and I'll be gone in the morning. After that, we just need to leave each other alone and go out separate ways." She turned and left just as another tear dropped from her eye.

I stood there lost for words. It hurt. I can't lie.

KARIN

I laid in the bed all night thinking. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop crying. My heart hurt, my head hurt. I can't believe the person I thought was my mother isn't. It's a relief that the person who bullied me all years isn't the woman who gave birth to me, but it saddens me to know my mother let me go so easily. My father lied to my face everyday for 16 years so easily.

On top of that the person I want, I can't have. I can't deal with all of this at once. I don't know how to deal with any of it at all.

I've cried enough tears to fill a swimming pool and I want the pain to just disappear. I want to disappear.....

Sorry for any mistakes ✨
