Deem's Life xOLD VERSION

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

I slowly opened my door and looked out to make sure that Shamari wasn’t there. I took one of the suitcases that my ‘mother’ had packed for me. I walked into the kitchen and filled a Tesco bag up with kit Kats and chocolate biscuits.

I put them in the suitcase. I found it funny that I had just met the guy and he was letting me stay with him for as long as I wanted.

I walked out into the corridor and put the Tesco bag in the suitcase. The doorbell rang as Shamari walked down the stairs.

“Where you going?” He looked like he had calmed down.

“Somewhere you’re not.” I quickly picked up the bag and walked outside.

I put my bag in De’Andre car. I sat in the passenger’s seat.

“You cool?” He asked.

“Yeah, thanks for this. Appreciate it.” He just nodded and carried on driving. We reached his house in about 30 minutes. We got out and walked towards the door. New start I guess.

“Uhm, my cousin staying over for abit so help yourself to any other room apart from the first one on the left.” I nodded thanked him one more time and made my way up the stairs. I put my case on the bed and just sat down.

I didn’t know what to think.

Was this all my fault?

Should I have kept my legs closed?

Why was Cory on the run?

Why me?

I felt like everything was my fault. If I hadn’t opened my legs I wouldn’t be in this situation were I stayed at some one else’s yard. I took out one Kit Kat and walked back down the stairs. I walked down the stairs and into the living room. I walked in to see De’Andre sitting down with two people who I am guessing is his cousin and his sister.

“Hmm hmm hmm mmm. “ His cousin said. I looked at him and lifted my eyebrow.

“Uhm...hi?” I said while I took a seat.

“Oh Uhm this is Kadeem or Deem. She’s staying with me.” They nodded. “And that’s my cousin Michael and my sister Kerryn.” I just nodded. I really need to talk more.

I was just sitting down enjoying my Kit Kat when I heard Kwarmie’s name. I looked up to see De’Andre looking at me. I just shook my head and listened.

“Nah but did you hear about what happened to him?” Michael asked.

“No, all I heard was that he had to have an operation.”  Kerryn said.

“Do you know what happened Kadeem?”  Michael asked. I looked at him.

“Erm....no?”  I replied while looking at De’Andre. He just smirked.

“Oh well basically, his chick shanked him in his knee.”

“I aint-” I was about to finish off my sentence when I realised what I was saying. “Never mind.”

They all looked at me weirdly.

“Amway’s yeah apparently he’s paralyzed.” As soon as he said that I immediately felt guilty.

“Wow...” We were all silent for a bit. Michael got up and put Seven pounds on. I loved that movie! I started smiling.

“How old are you Kadeem?” Kerryn asked.

“15...” I replied I wasn’t really interested. I just wanted to concentrate on the movie.

“Your 15?!” She seemed shocked. I just nodded.

“So why aint you at home with your family?”  Michael asked.

“Allow it that’s personal.” De’Andre said while getting up and walking into the kitchen.

“Nah, it’s cool. Basically my brother snaked me out to my mum and she kicked me out.” I said as quickly as possible. I didn’t really feel like talking about my business. They looked at me confused. “I’m pregnant.” I said while looking down in shame.

“Oh...rah.”

“Don’t get it twisted I aint a sket, it was a mistake.”  They nodded.

“Cool, who’s your brother, I might know him.”  Kerryn asked

“Shamari...”I just looked at the TV. It was at the part where Will Smith was on the phone to the blind man.

“General Blaze, Shamari?” Michael asked. Did everyone know him? Hood rat.

“Yeah.”

“Wait...sexy Shamari?” Kerryn asked, I looked at her. Sexy really?

“Err...yeah?” I replied, I didn’t fell like talking about it

“Wait; wait Shamari, Shamar’s twin?”

“YES! Shamari Rimelle Georges’. Gosh. That’s my brother.”

“Oh, I didn’t know he had a sister.” I just nodded.

De’Andre walked in with a packet of Doritos’

“Do you want some Deem’?”  He put the bag in front of me. I took one.

“I love the way you offer her some but not your own family.” Michael said while wiping away fake tears. I just laughed. He was a joker.

“Shut up man” I put the Doritos in my mouth. It was missing something...

“Do you have and chocolate?” He nodded.

“There’s some galaxy in the fridge.” I walked into the kitchen and took the galaxy out of the fridge. Put it in a bowl and melted it in the microwave. I walked back into the living room. Whoever decorated it had taste!

I had to remember to ask him were his parents where. Kerryn was eating the Doritos out of the bag.

“Can I have some please?”  She gave me the bag and I poured some of it in the bowl. They all looked at me shocked.

“Yummy! It actually tastes nice. You lots want some?” I asked.

 Kerryn put her hand out and took some. She screwed up her face. I gave some to De’Andre and he also screwed up his face.

“You wasted my galaxy on that shit?” He kissed his teeth and I just smiled.

“Let me try some.” Michael took the bowl out of my hand and took some. He started smiling. “It’s actually nice.”

“Alie. You’re my new best friend.” He just laughed.

“Eurgh. You lots have some messed up taste buds.” Kerryn said.

“I’m pregnant.” I pointed out.

“What’s your excuse Michael?” De’Andre asked.

“I just love Doritos and chocolate.” I laughed and high fived him.
