The door started to open, which then revealed my mother. "HEY, WHAT'RE YOU DOING?" Mike yelled as he ran up to my mother. "WE ARE GOING TO GO TO LAURA'S." My mother yelled back. Once I was able to finish in the bathroom, my mother grabbed me and we walked to Lauras. When we got to Laura's, Laura and her lover Lila went up to my mother and tried to comfort her. Lila and Laura had a dog so I went off to go play with it.
A few hours passed when my mother's other friend Tara showed up. "The office said yeah. They just need you and me to sign the papers.'' Tara said as she approched the back door. My mother took me with her to the office. There at the office was a gym, jacuzzi, workout place, and a gym. Me, being the average curious kid, I went around to the gym and saw a bunch of 'big kids' playing basketball. I got scared of them and went to the jacuzzi. When I went further into the area, I saw a closet. Like usual, I investigated it to find out it was a closet where steam is in(sauna). Inside of this place were three men and two boys who looked alittle older than me. "Hi!'' One of the men said. Without thinking I ran away back to were my mother and tara were. When I got there, my mother was no where to be seen. The good thing was the fact that Laura lived right down the sidewalk from the office so I was able to get there. "I-I-I c-couldn't, I-I couldn't find you.'' I struggled to say to my mother who I had found went back to Laura's apartment. "Well you ran off so I thought 'why not go ahead.''' She retorted back. "Hey Aisha guessa what?'' Tara said, getting down to my level. "We get to live together!'' "YAY!" I excitedly threw my hands up. Honestly, I didn't mind tara. She had a cat named boxer and she acted like a child. "Laura can you watch her while me and tara go look at the apartment?'' Laura gladly agreed and Tara and my mother went to the apartmemt. "Want to watch a movie?'' Laura asked me. I nodded and she put on the movie 'Spirited Away'. 'Her breath stinks' I thought to myself as I watched the movie.
When Tara and my mother came back we went to Mike's house. "Where you going?'' He questioned. "Me and Tara are going to move in together. Im tired of fighting with you.'' And with those words she got some clothes and grabbed my hand and walked out the door.
Before I knew it, the weekend had ended and I was to return back to Richards house. My mother got me ready and we waited for Richard to come. When he came he didn't look happy.
When we got to the house he told me to go to my room. Of course I complied. "Hey wanna play a game?'' Jason asked. He grinned wickedly. "No...'' I opened one my favorite coloring book and started to color. "I wanna play.'' He took away my coloring book. "GIVE IT BACK!" I tried reaching for it. Him being taller than me, he held it high. "I will if you play with me.'' He got on his tippy toes. "I SAID I DON'T WANT TO PLAY!'' I was getting mad. He then ran out the room. I followed to see that he went into the kitchen. He sat on the floor and started ripping the pages out of the coloring book. "NO! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?" I screamed. "Sense you won't play with me I'm ruining your color book.'' That's what set me off. I went into the drawer with silverware and started throwing spoons and forks at him. "ALISHA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!'' I heard Vicky's voice from the kitchen entrance. Without giving me a chance to answer she took my arm and pulled me into my room, leaving a crying Jason on the floor. She closed the door without a word.
A few hours later I heard Richard talk through the door. "We're going to the store. Joseph will be here so you have to listen to him.''Knowing I could take this chance to shower, I went and got ready for a shower. I could take as long as I wanted because after going shopping, they usually go to eat.
Once I got into the shower I heard the door open. "I didn't know you could shower yourself.'' I heard joseph's voice at the other side of the curtain. "I learned from my mama.'' I replied. He opened the curtain. "Want to play a game?'' He said, looking down on me. "I'm taking a shower though...'' I quietly said. "Huh?'' Joseph said. "I'm taking a shower.'' I said louder. "It's okay.''
"What's the game?'' He grinned wickedly."Come out the shower and I'll teach you.''
