              Janay's pov
   

  I agree with Zahaire because the apartment was much better and private than the one I was about to take and because I've only gotten a part time waitress job. I don't know how I was going to get by and still become the independent woman I dreamt to be. Hopefully I'll figure it out and move out before he comes back here to the States.

The drive home was quiet and I was glad, I didn't really want to talk to him. I was relieved he hasn't been pressuring me for sex and has been giving me two hundred dollars weekly, I've not spent a dollar but kept it saved up with the money I already have.

"When you get home pack some of your things and I'll take them in the afternoon," he told me.

"I only have one set of suitcases," I told him.

He glanced at me then said, "pack what you really need and wish to take with you and make sure the twins aren't aware that you're about to leave, I want you to leave one day when them and Sharon aren't there and not return," he said desperately.

"Ok," I said simply.

I wondered at his tone but when you live with people like Sharon and the twins, you live every day feeling annoyed. That has been even more since my adopted father died, Sharon pretended to grieved in public but at home she was relieved. It was then I began to see her true colors and hate her, Oliver had been a good father to us and husband to her. She has never failed to remind us that it was because of him why she was now stuck with us and she only putting up with us until we wipe our asses through her front door.

I still don't know if she couldn't have children or just didn't want to, she kept a lot of her life private and at times I felt like the outsider that I am. A lonely boring child growing up in the orphanage after my parents died in a car crash, I miss them and I still cry over them and wonder what my life would have been if that tragic accident hadn't occurred. Would my mother have given me a little sister or a little brother by the fetus that had perished inside of her, I shook from the memory then try to dispel it and focus on the task I now have at hand.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" Zahaire asked as he stopped and put the car in reverse.

He reversed and turn away from Diamond's house where he had planned to drop me and I would stay for a while then call a uber. I took out my phone to call Diamond and began to ring in my hand with her calling.

"Hello?" I answered awkwardly.

"Girl, where are you? Your mother is here asking after you," she whisper yell.

"I was just outside your house but leave because I see her car," I told her.

"She's asking my mom about the dance classs we attend together and I took off to my room leaving the two of them discussing it," she told me.

"Ok, let me think and holler back at you," I told her.

"Ok kl," she replied and I end the call.

"If we reach home and the twins aren't there you pack one of the suitcases and put it in my car. If the twins are there I'll deal with them," Zahaire said.

  A nauseous feeling took me over and I touch his hand weakly, he slowed and pull over to the side of the road where I emptied the contents of my lunch from my stomach. He offered me a bottle of water and ask if I was ok, I told him yes and he began to drive again.

"Stay in here and I'll go check inside if the twins are here," Zahaire said as we drove inside the carport.

  He got out of the car and went inside and I pray they wasn't, I was feeling too off to pretend with them. Zahaire came back and said, "They're here but up in they're room, I'm guessing Sharon must have been here in one of her moods."

"Guess so," I said nonchalantly.

"Just do as I say and I'll come and get the suitcase, make haste before she comes," he said.

  I hurried up the stairs and into my room with Zahaire looking to see if the twins were looking out, I quickly packed  my suitcase and gave him with the bag I had packed before minus my savings. He took them and hurried downstairs while I search for somewhere safe enough to hide my money.

I was lying on my bed thinking up lies when Sharon's car drive in, a moment later I heard talked outside my door.

"She came home looking like she has caught a flu bug, I did told her the other evening that one of her dance friend appeared to be having flu symptoms," Zahaire was saying.

He was speaking loud enough for me to hear. "Which one of her dance friend Diamond?" Sharon asked.

"I don't know their names," I hear Zahaire replied with a hiss.

My room door was knocked and I made sure my belly was not showing from beneath my sweater. "It's open," my voice croaked saying.

Sharon poked her head around the door she opened ahar. "Do you have flu? Because I certainly don't want to catch it," she asked saying.

"I don't know," I told her and she came into the room and shut the door.

She looked at me shrewdly and I know a lecture or cursing was coming. "Where did you go today?" She asked folding her arms two feet away from me.

"Me and Chrystal met up to go by Diamond but I began to feel ill so I came back home," I answered her.

"And what about dance class?" She asked.

"Tsk," I hissed.

"I'm beginning to think we are never going to enter any competitions, that was one of the main things we were going to discuss with Diamond," I told her.

"Diamond is going away to college on Monday, didn't she tell you or you were only too busy wining up that ominous ass of yours?" She said then asked.

I pretended to cough to not reply and she said. "You'll be going to Elga Morris, it's not far away but I'll be boarding you in so you can get packing," she said firmly and with that she wheeled away through the door shutting it with a hard thud.

  I thought about things for most of the night, my head pounded and I went downstairs to make a cup of tea. I heard a moaning coming from the washroom and didn't bother to turn on the kitchen light, it sounded like one of the twins and I was truly surprised after listening for a while I hid behind the dining table as the individuals seemed to be moving about. The door that leads outside from the washroom opened and I peeped to see one of our neighbors son kissing one of the twins goodbye.

  The door close after he walked off and the whole place was dark again, I still bend down again behind the table as I recognize Kaylee walking past and going upstairs. I stood and went into the kitchen where I quietly made my cup of tea without switching on the light. I thought I was a hoe for dancing exotic for money, but the twins how many guys were they having sex with. I really can't take anyone else alongside Zahaire it felt like too much, everyone was different I guess with a sigh and sipped my tea I got my own business to worry about.

  Sharon was taking the twins shopping for school supplies, after Zahaire left she had cursed non-stop about having to spend her money on us. With my door wide open I sorted out my things in my room, while he threatened of only purchasing the bare minimum of the school items. When she drove out I breathed a mighty sigh of relief knowing what I was going to do, I went to her room and search for the documents for college, then went online and change it to virtual. I saw where she had already made payment for dorm accommodation, after reading carefully through it I ask for a refund and click on the referal to students account and entered my account number. I hope it was still in use since I had only used it once and it was set up by Oliver and I  haven't used it from his passing.

  I went downstairs to the study room and print off everything, I left the copy in the envelope placing in back where I found it and carried the original to my room. I could do this my heart skip with hope, I could go to college online and work as a waitress in the evenings while I seek out another place to live away from Zahaire.
