comment for the next chapter

I focused my eyes at the medium sized box tv that sat in the middle of my room, reminiscing the previous happenings from earlier while the left side of my face tingled from the stiffness of dry tears. I tried to ignore the fact that Sev was beyond doubt furious with me, and I couldn't blame him for his anger, but it seemed to be over the top. "time to eat." Jamie spoke as she ambled at my rooms door frame, using only the corner of my eyes I just glanced at her without turning my head. "could you put it in the microwave for me?" I questioned her out of stubbornness, I was extremely hungry, but I didn't want to be in the same room with Sev. "come on lil mama, you have to eat..i made tortillas, and I know it's your favorite." she gave me a genuine grin that I surely didn't want to pass up. "sev isn't here." she then said. "..he's actually pissed with me for taking up for you." she clasped her hands together stepping closer to the foot of my bed before she placing herself there. "yeah, you shouldn't of said anything, he knows me better then to think i would have sex!" I shouted in defense, but that was a little fib. "Charlie, it's just the guy that you were with. he doesn't care! and when it comes to sexual things, he'll try to take it as far as he can," her tone had arisen from knowledge "..he would've used you up! and then expect that shit every time you're around him." I could tell by the way her face flushed of rosy pink that she knew of someone who met the carefree description, but not Kareem. "um, we can't be talking about the same guy because I'm talking about," "Kareem? yeah I know." she nodded assuredly as her thick latin accent carried out through my room. "he doesn't act like that when we're around each other, nor does he touch me." i added on confidently before she gave me a glance that made me question myself. "..it's because you haven't let him yet.. give him the opportunity, and he'll take it." she spoke before standing. a part of me wanted to know how she knew these things, but maybe the answer wouldn't be so delightful. as she stood at my door, she rubbed her forming belly before grinning my way "but you should still eat muñeca, the foods gonna' get cold." she winked, and stepped out. the coldness of the sheets slowly but surely made me doze into a slumber.
My eyes slowly fluttered open after being shook from my nap. "sev, I'm not in the mood to talk right now." I said rubbing my eyes to gain my sight back. "charls," the raspy voice said, my heart fluttered when I noticed it came from Kareem. He sat on my bed while his head hovered over mine. "Kareem! what are you doing?" I whisper-shouted, while putting all of my weight on my arms. "no, shh! Sev isn't here." he chuckled. he turned his head towards the door, on the side of his eye I noticed a purple bruise. I lifted my hand, tracing it gently with my fingers. his head then snapped my way. "damnit, Kareem I'm sorry." I sighed continually brushing my fingers across the fresh bruise. "nah, don't be sorry." he whispered glancing at me "..it only hurt a little." I nodded my head in agreement, still confused on why he was in my room. "..okay, why are you here?" my eyebrows then contorted. "i have a gift for you, but it's at my crib, and that's the only way you're gonna get it." he spoke with complete seriousness in his eyes. "is this a joke?" I squinted my eyes at him while he shook his head. ",but I need you to come and get it, my moms not home so she won't trip." he smiled at me. I was doubtful about the whole thing, but I didn't want to always turn things down. "what about Sev? you want him to punch you again?" i joked while he grabbed his chin. "alright, you coming or not?" he sighed at me in a playful manner. "i guess." he grabbed a light jacket from my bed rail, and handed it too me. my heart rushed with anticipation, wondering if Sev, and Jamie were to pop up any given moment, but time would only tell so i tried breathing easily.
He unlocked my double window before grabbing a thin book from my dresser, Kareem then hoisted himself though the window with just a leap making it seem easy, but my past experiences with this window said otherwise. "..i need help!" I semi shouted, he rolled his eyes at me, "are you serious?" he questioned smartly, nodding my head furiously he finally dropped the book, and reached his arms out. "just jump, i promise I'll catch you." he gave me a convincing smirk with his arms stretch wide, with one tiny leap I was airborne then caught by his manly hands that grasped at my waist, "damn you're tiny charls." he whispered in my ear while placing me on the ground. he picked the book up sliding it between the empty space of the window, and shut it tightly before we gave each other the go eyes, and dashed down the street.
Once we finally made it to his house, our breathing was uneven he held his knees slouching down while I dropped my weight to the side of his porch. "kareem," i took a deep breath to get my words out. "give me the gift! Sev will murder me if he finds out where I am!" I shouted taking one more breath before my breathing slowly came back to normal.
Once he finally got himself together we stepped inside of his welcoming home, the smells of cooking traveled the distance throughout the house. he dragged me into his room shutting the door, my heart fluttered at the quick movement, and adjustment. I did as told. "when i count to three open your eyes charls." i could hear the grin in his voice. "one, two..three." when I uncovered my eyes Kareem stood in front of me with Shrek in his right hand, and Kung Fu Panda in his left, and a box cake sat on his bed with the words happy birthday on it when my birthday wasn't until the end of the month. I couldn't help, but burst into a cackle. "Kareem you're so silly! where's the gift?" i folded my arms cocking my hip to the side. "this is the gift! to say I'm sorry for being an ass the other day." he spoke genuinely. "yeah, what about the birthday cake?" i covered my mouth to keep the giggles in. "..well the mart ran out of plain cakes, and it was closing early so I grabbed something, and I was wondering if you could pick out a movie, and we could watch it while eating cake." he chuckled sitting the movies on the edge of the bed. "Sev will kill me if he shows up before me." now I felt nervous, I didn't want to turn him down, but I didn't want to get myself into another predicament. "no! i saw sev when I passed by the court come on." he continually begged me until I gave in.
"come get beside me." he smiled at me patting a seat out beside him on the bed. I slid my shoes off quickly crawling beside him giving us a good distance away from each other. i decided on shrek, but it only took a minute before my bladder aggravated me until I had to relieve myself. "Kareem, pause the movie I have to use the bathroom." he took his eyes from the screen, and placed them on my face. "you know where it's at?" he questioned while pausing the film, I nodded before standing off the bed, and stepping out of the room. I started to worry about Sev, and about what Jamie had said about him. my mind actually went everywhere in a quick second, but in a instance i felt like I tripped over my own feet as I stumbled forward, I was caught by a pair of strong arms. "woah, you good?" a different voice asked me, my entire body tensed up I thought only me, and Kareem were here."-um, yeah I'm fine." I hesitantly looked up at the stranger to see a boy with the smoothest caramel skin, nice chocolate eyes, and fit physique he stood about 5'11 just as kareem, with the plumpest lips. his chuckle interrupted my thoughts "you lost or something?" i wanted to ask him was he the lost one, I've been here before, but never seen him. "um, no." i awkwardly tried to scoot pass him, but he stepped in my way. "hm, are you one of Kareem's little girlfriends or something?," he squinted his eyes "you look too young to be Johnna though." my heart sunk to my feet, I couldn't have a day without hearing her name come from someone's mouth. "yeah, that's because I'm not her now would you mind." i tried pushing by him, but then again he wouldn't let me by. "I'm Kasey, his cousin." i nodded wanting to be away from him badly. "I'm Charls." i heard him repeat my name before letting me pass.
mm, Kasey.
so this probably has plenty of errors, but forgive me this was updated on my phone, and I'm going through re-editing!
