A Struggle Within Itself

Chapter 36

Genniffer's Pov

So it was set in stone from now on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have to go to Brian's house and watch him till 9:00 pm. Jaylen will have the other days and his mom is home on the weekends unless she gets called in. Then she will call one of us and we will have to watch him till she gets back. This will be going on for the next 3 to 6 months or just until Brian can get around the house without a problem. She gave me a key to their house and a extra one to give to Jaylen. Come to think of it, why did I agree I would give a key to Jaylen? I think maybe somewhere deep down it was me wanting to see Jaylen again.

I walked across the street. I knocked on the door. My mom opened the door on the phone with Brian's mom. I walked into my bedroom. I peeled down the covers and slowly crawled in. My bed sort of felt funny. Much softer and lighter than I remember. I got up and lifted up the matress. Half of the bed frame was cleared. Nothing but a few bags of drugs were left in it. I dropped the matress back down and slid it over correctly. Next I walked over to Treyvian's room. When I entered I found him packing some of his stuff into a suitcase.

"You know I prefer you knock before entering." He smirked.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"What does it look like? A suitcase, I'm puttin' thing in it."

"Why?"

"I'm leaving after school gets out."

"But thats two months away."

"I don't know maybe I'll leave sooner than that."

"Why? You just came back."

"I've back for a couple of months now."

"More like just a couple of days with the business of all the drugs you've been selling." My voice cracked.

"I don't care I just gotta get out of here."

"Why?! Answer my question, why?"

"Because I don't fit in here! Back at that reformatory felt like a home better then this."

"What?" I gasped.

"I thought I could come home and be with my family and atone for what I done, but still do it on the side and bring in some more money for this family."

"You're being kind of optimistic Treyvian."

"Fuck it. When I came home I felt more not at home. More like a butler to the king and queen while they take care of their princess." He pointed at me.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you feel that way."

"Well of course you didn't. You been to busy dealing with you not being to have kids."

"Stop."

"What? It is the truth. You opened you legs and now look where it got you. You know most guys would think of you like some kind of freak because lets be honest. Every dude wants a his son to come and take over his throne. Other dudes might see you as a good bitch and won't have to worry about you getting pregnant because you can't have any. So his money will keep rolling in."

"Stop, stop, stop it, stop it!"

"And after our parents found out you can't find any kids, our dad, this morning finds your room smelling like weed. And here is what really gets me." He wagged his finger and zipped up his suitcase. "They found out that you were pregnant and now you can't have any. You smoking weed, you know what they said?"

"He technically didn't find out!"

"They said 'oh Genniffer we understand', bullshit. That.... that showed me where their favoritism lies. You get caught killing something, all you will get is a slap on the wrist. But if it was me, naw it's my ass."
