Born To Die

He's Hurting You

MARCUS POV

I walked into my home, to find some woman sitting on our couch. Great I thought now I'm going to have to deal with her. I slowly walked over to her, the woman startled when she saw me.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" I asked a bit annoyed.
"Oh um... I'm Kimberley, your dad's... Uh friend." She answered smiling.
I glared at her knowing what she meant, "Well whatever you do don't get to close he's not the type to stay committed."
Just as I finished my dad walks in smiling.
"Hey did you meet Kimberley?" He asked.
"Sadly." I mumbled.
"What?"
"Oh yeah... Yeah we've met." I replied walking off into the kitchen.
I sat in there patiently waiting for her to leave.
"Marcus Kim is going to stay for dinner so please be nice." My dad told me.
I rolled my eyes nodding in response.
"I think I'm going to go hang out with Denzell... Don't wait up."

Knock knock knock
Denzell opened the door smiling.
"Heeey what you doing here?"
"My dad has some woman there and I honestly do NOT want to be in there." I sighed.
"Ha alright let me just tell my mom." He said closing the door.
I sat on the curb waiting for him to come out.
"Alright let's go."
We walked a couple of blocks in silence, before I decided to break the silence.
"Soooo what took you so long?" I asked glancing up at him.
"Well I..." I cut him off.
"Wait let me get this hahaha." I laughed pulling out me camera.
He laughed shaking his head, "Okay uh the reason why I'd because my mom is thinking about letting me finally see my dad." The last part he said silently.
"I'm confused I thought he died years ago?"
"Yeah well me too, guess that wasn't my "real" dad."
He shrugged looking in the other direction, "It's whatever I don't want to see him anyways, what's the point. Like I'm fifteen years old grew up thinking that one man WAS my dad. And now you want to see me." He scoffed.
We made it a near by park and I turned my camera off, sitting on a nearby swing.
"So my hand is finally healing..." I sighed slowly swinging.
"That's good... Marcus you need to tell someone you can't just keep letting him beat up on you like that. I was there for you when he made you sit on raw grits with your knees. And when he gave you that black eye. I can't keep hiding your secrets." Denzell ranted.
"If your my best friend you'll just keep it between us. I can't tell anyone .... At least right now."
"So your going to pull that best friend crap on me that's not fair and you know it. Marcus it's getting to a point where he's going to seriously injure you. I don't want to hear about you dying." He whispered fumbling with his hands.
"I promise it won't happen let's just forget about it.... Okay?"
"Yeah fine we won't talk about it anymore."
