Learning To Love Again...

Chapter 5🦋

I Woke Up And Grabbed My Phone. I Called My Father Back And He Answered.

"Well Where Is He?" He Asked.

"I Don't Know Dad. I Left." I Told Him.

"You Left The House I Paid For?" He Raised His Voice.

"Yeah." I Nodded.

"ALA-"

"Dad Before You Yell, If I Put Him Out He'd Come Back. And I'm Somewhere Safe." I Assured.

"Well What Hotel Are You At?" He Asked.

"I'm Not At A Hotel. I'm Staying With A Friend." I Lied.

"Alana, You Have A Bank Account." He Reminded.

"About That. Dad, Somehow He's Hacked It. Whenever You Deposit Money He Wires It To His. And When I Left He Didn't Let Me Get My Cars Or Nothing." I Sighed.

"I'm In Atlanta Right Now. I'm Finna Talk To Him." He Told Me.

"Dad Don't Kil-" I Started But He Hung Up.

I Sighed And Sat My Phone Down. I Went Into The Bathroom And Put Warm Towels On My Eyes. The Puffiness Went Down. On My Left Eye At Least. It Wasn't As Bad As Before On My Right. I Put On Some Lip Balm And Left Out The Bathroom. I Laid Back Down And Stared At The Ceiling. I Grabbed My Phone And Called Alicia.

"I'm In Atlanta Right Now. Where Are You?" She Asked.

"Licia, I'm Safe. I Promise." I Told Her.

"Tell Your Location I'm Gonna Come See You."

"Not Right Now. I Don't Wanna Be Seen All Bruised Up. Just Give Me At Least A Week." I Sighed.

"Mmcht Alright." She Dryly Agreed.

"Thank You."

"Yeah Yeah. You Know I'm Gonna Kill Him If Dad Doesn't?" She Asked.

"Yes I Know." I Mumbled.

"And As Tempting As It Sounds, I Won't Call Mama." She Said.

We Talked For Almost A Hour Before Hanging Up. I Heard A Knock On The Door And I Didn't Feel Like Getting Up.

"Come In." I Called Out.

The Door Opened And I Looked Over.  I Seen Ken And I Must Say, This Man Is One Fine Human Being. I Sat Up And Stretched A Little.

"Hey." I Smiled.

"Hey. I Came In Earlier And Seen You Were Asleep. Are You Hungry Or Anything?" He Asked.

"I Could Eat." I Admitted.

"Come On. I Ordered Pizza." He Smiled.

I Followed Him Downstairs And We Went To The Living Room. We Sat On The Couch.

"So, Tell Me About Yourself."

"Well, Lets See. I'm 24, I Lived In New York My Whole Life. I'm The Youngest Of 2 Girls And Was Raised With Both My Parents, They Hate Each Otber Now But They Stuck It Out Until We Were Grown. I'm In College To Become A Therapist. I Love R&B And Black Movies. I Have Trust Issues And I Can Be A Spoiled Brat Sometimes."

Later That Night...

I Woke Up And Felt Storng Arms Wrapped Around Me. My Eyes Fluttered Open And I Seen Ken Laying Behind Me Asleep. I Looked At The Clock And Seen It Was 1:28 AM. I Grabbed The Blanket And Put It Over Us Before Turning Off The TV. I Laid Back Down And He Pulled Me Closer. I Soon Fell Back Asleep.
