She looked at my father, then me. She opened her mouth, then closed it and started to cry. My father shook his head as he looked at her.

"Babe mi can ex-"

Hesitantly, he released me. I pulled out my wallet and handed her two thousand dollar bills.

"Find yuh way home, and by home, mi mean your yaad. Mi nuh waa si yuh face again."

She took the money and held onto my hand. I gave her a look that made her release my hand immediately and walk away.

"Yuh ready?" Kelly asked me.

"No, but I'll never be ready so let's just go."

I could tell that she wanted to say something else but instead, she sighed and held my hand. We walked to Miss Maxine's car and got in. Miss Maxine looked at me through the mirror.

"Everything will be fine." She tried to reassure me.

Suh yuh tink.

I don't even blame her because that's just how she is; very optimistic. I wanna be like her when I grow up.
