Chapter 7

Abigail

"The Bible says for God so loved the world, that he gave us his only begotten son, for who so ever that believeth in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life!" he roamed the stage taking the small grey napkin out of his back pocket as he wiped his forehead. Holding the micro phone up to his mouth. He was my language arts teacher's husband. A short stucky black man. A snicker came over my face remembering how the older boys around the school that were skulling class would come tease her about how she's young and sexy.

"Now that doesn't mean that all you gotta do is know he exist! A lot of people knows of his existence! Even satan and his angels knows the lord exist! For us his children to know him you have to give him your heart! You have to choose to be with him you have to trust him you have to do what is right. And you shall not perish" he shouted. I laughed watching spit flying from his mouth. Normally my little sisters were laughing with me but I glanced over to see her and Lacey and keyanna sleeping with their mouths wide open. I placed my hands over my mouth snickering. Somebody didn't go to their bed last night.

My father was still mad at me. So I knew not to make him more mad when we get home. I couldn't believe that lexcey would really tell him jermaine bought me all the gifts. His eyes grew angry and he shouted and screamed at me about leaving that man alone.

"Me want the best fi youuu! Me want the best fi you Abigail me Fitzroy Jones a did young bwoy and me know how young bwoy move! Dem will love you this moment and find someone better than you to be with. That boy don't love you Abigail! Him him too  much older than you then caught up in illegal things. You see them rich a whole heap of things dem do fi have so much money Abigail nuh mek it fool you. Next thing you know you cya go out because him emery dem a buss off a yuh head Abigail a cry you want me fi cry!" I remember him yelling at me. I felt bad all night. I came clean and I told him that I would stop talking to him for the second time.

"Preach!!! Pastor Richardson preach!" I heard ms natty behind me. The other day me hear she tell a man,

"Come kiss out mi waright claat a wih drop mi draws!" I begun to laugh at her fanning her self and raising her hand in the air with her eyes closed in her red lipstick as if.... She wasn't the most out of order granny in stone hill.

I felt a pair of eyes on me staring at me as I giggled looking at Mrs natty. Sergio's eyes staring me down with a smile on his face I smiled back at him softly. He looked so shy and hesitant it was funny. Out of nowhere his grandma slapped him upside his head.

"Stop look pan brother jones gyal pickney and pay attention to the pastor" she got mad at him. A awkward smile grew over my face as I giggled placing my hand over my mouth. 🤭

"Grandma me never did a l-

"Yes you was! Now me know she is very pretty! But you need fi take in the lords words because you nahh turn no scamma and you ago low ganga!" She smacked him.  He looked so embarrassed.

He looked at me and chuckled.

"This is  sista pamela and her youngest son, Sergio. Very nice respectful young man you two might already know each other from school " my father said. After shaking my his hand Swiftly my hand went back beneith my brown soft cover bible I held below me. His eyes scanned over me and a small smile grew on my cheeks looking at him.
