Krissan

"Suh shi nuh seh nutn to yuh since him leff?" Kelly asked me.

I saw a missed call from her so I called back and told her and Miss Maxine everything that just happened via FaceTime.

"No enuh. Mi not even sure if shi still ina di house."

"Wow..." Miss Maxine finally spoke. While Kelly asked me questions in between me telling them about the incident, she was quiet. But by the look on her face, I could tell that she's sad and very disappointed in my mother.

"What time flight unu have?"

"Wi flight get cancel due to di weather and shit. A dat mi did a call fi tell yuh."

One more disappointment. Can anything else go wrong?

"Yeah, suh we're not sure when we'll be back. Hopefully this storm hurry up and shift suh wi can come back tomorrow or the next day." Miss Maxine added.

"Krissan!"

The unexpected and angry sound of my mother's voice scared all three of us.

"Yes mommy?" I responded cautiously.

"Mi ago ask yuh dis an if yuh continue stick to yuh lie yaa guh pack up yuh tings and come out!"

My heart beats sped up. I slid my phone under my pillow so she couldn't see that Kelly and Miss Maxine were listening.

"Wa happen between you and Denton?"

"Mommy mi come outta di bathroom ina mi towel and walk ina mi room and si him in here. Mi ask him wa him a do ina mi room an him push mi dung pan di bed and come ova mi and mi call yuh. That's the honst truth. Mi cyaa believe seh afta wi a work pan wi relationship dis come up and mek yaa-"

"Mek mi a do wa!?"

"Mek yaa get upset wid me when a him yuh fi upset wid!"

"Hey gyal bring dung yuh voice before mi buss up yuh bloodclaat face."

Not wanting this to get physical, I took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Mommy, the signs were there before it get to dis point. Denton compliment mi body infont a yuh more than once an yuh nuh seh nutn."

"Suh weh yaa try fi seh Krissann?"

I decided not to answer.

"Hello mek mi tell yuh dis. Mi know mi do and seh tings to yuh weh mi shouldn't do nor seh an mi already apologize fi dat. But don't you dare try fi insinuate dat me ignore nuh man pedophile behavior cause dat a one ting mi nuh condone. Wi both know seh Denton love run joke.

I didn't even try to hold back my tears.

Wow... This is really happening...
