A Stripper's Daughter

Chapter 18

The Next Day, Jalen And I Were Walking Down The Street, Hand In Hand, Talking. I Ended Up Telling Him About The Dream And What My Mom Had Said. He Burst Out Laughing As We Stopped Walking.

"What She Me Save Up Triple Time?" He Asked

"I Have No Clue." I Said.

"You Okay Baby?" He Asked Me. I Nodded.

"Yeah...I Just Wished I Had A Little More Time With Her. Though She Was Acting Weird And Saying Weird Things, I Miss Her Already." I Said.

"I Understand Ma. I Miss My Moms Too. I Can't Wait To Graduate So I Can Make Her Proud. That Was Her One Request. The Night Before She Died, I Made Her A Promise That I Would Finish High School And Become Something Of Myself. This Drug Shit Ain't For Me. Once I Graduate, Ima Get Me A Real Job And Ima Take Care Of You." He Said. I Smiled As I Hugged Him.

"You Are Definitely The One For Me." I Said.

"And You're The One For Me. I Can't See Myself With Anyone But You." He Said.

"Likewise." I Said. We Stopped Again And Shared A Passionate Kiss. My Mom Was So Right! Jalen Was The Man For Me. When We Got Back To My Dad's House, I Noticed Two Police Cars Outside. We Ran Inside And Saw My Dad Being Handcuffed.

"What's Going On?" I Asked.

"Damien Davis Is Under Arrest For The Murder Of Carl Johnson." Said One Of The Policemen.

"You Kidding Right?" Jalen Said

"No Sir I Am Not." He Said With A Serious Tone.

"He Only Killed Him Because He Was Raping Me!" I Snapped.

"Did You File A Report?" The Other Officer Asked.

"No...I Was Unconscious After Being Choked To Death!" I Snapped.

"I See. Well We'll Send The Detectives Over To Get A Statement. In The Mean Time...Mr. Davis Will Be Getting Booked." He Said.

"This Is Some Bullshit!" Jalen Snapped.

"Take Care Of My Daughter, Jalen!" My Dad Said As They Took Him Outside.

"Daddy! Tell Me What To Do!" I Said As I Ran Outside.

"Stay Outta Trouble. I Love You." He Said. I Fell To The Ground As I Started Crying. This Cannot Be Happening! I Thought My Troubles Were Over, But They Were Only Beginning.

An Hour Later, The Detectives Had Finally Made Their Way Over To The House.

"Miss Davis Calm Down." He Said.

"Calm Down? Calm Down! Your Peoples Just Arrested My Dad!" I Snapped.

"He Murdered Somebody." Detective Garner Said.

"He Murdered A Murderer! That Fool Was Out In The Open Even After He Murdered Her Moms!" Jalen Said.

"Exactly!" I Said.

"True. Well...We'll Handle It. He Should Be Out In A Few Days." He Said.

"A Few Days? Why Not Today?" I Asked.

"We Have To Get Everything Situated, But We'll Keep In Touch." He Said. I Sighed And Collapsed On The Couch. Jalen Showed The Detectives Out As I Sat There Thinking.

"You Good Bae?" He Asked.

"No." I Said.

"Don't Stress It Ma. Your Pops Will Be Alright. Now Come On." He Said.

"Where We Going?" I Asked.

"Upstairs So I Can Put Some More Kids In Ya Stomach." He Said Laughing. I Giggled As I Got Up And Followed Him Upstairs.
