Saturday, January twentieth.
The female stir in her sleep with sweat drenching her body, her eyes popped open at the tapping on her stomach poking her, she stared at her grandfather telling her to get up.
'You going to work today?' He told her, she shook her head no telling him she was off.
'What time is it?' She asked the male, looking at his watch he told her 10:45am.
'You're always in the house on the weekend neh, i suggest you go to the library or something' her grandpa, Neville crossed his arms at his granddaughter who giggled at him.
He wiped her sweaty forehead seeing how hot she'd gotten in her sleep. 'Open the windows or something girl.' He signed to her with disappointment, she sighed standing up from her bed to open the windows.
'Good morning to you too.' The girl smiled as he walked out, he was deaf so they used their words in sign language, once she learned at the age of six she hadn't stopped.
Raye was secretive, she spent her whole life knowingly living a lie, her real name wasn't raye.
It was Nehemiah. But nobody knew that of course.
She was sixteen living with her grandfather who took care of her, he was getting through his ages so she returned the favor back by choice.
The quiet girl who was the most hated a in her past who had a rough time throughout her years of living, pushing herself to be something when she grew up, just for her grandfather to live better.
Her parents weren't around anymore due to them passing, she was old enough to understand by the age of six where her mother's father decided to take her in, his wife had died a few years ago when Nehemiah was just a baby, neh never got to meet her.
Nehemiah brushed her teeth throughly making sure to clean her teeth good, she put her curly hair into a top bun going to put the shower on, humming to a song she had in mind.
Once she had finished with brushing her teeth she washed her face scrubbing the cocoa scented soap around her face, it was her favorite, she loved cocoa scented everything. It was a hard finding for the girl, but once she had gotten to the outside world she found everything in stores.
The hot steaming down on her body she felt her self relaxing, her mind to be at ease.
She was moving forward to a superior being, her life was tense and she cleansed her way out of it forgetting her worries, her past, and to be a better person.
The past years for her was hard, she had been to jail, even to rehab, Nehemiah had learned her lesson in life so she calmed down, she avoided people and big crowds feeling like she was the bad person.
She wasn't a people's person she thought, everyone around either died or fell out with her because of her actions. After fifteen minutes of being in the shower the girl was wiping herself off looking into the mirror at the small bullet wounds in her chest, Nehemiah was very insecure about herself, her body at most.
It was a lot that came with Nehemiah so she removed herself to help them in her mind.
The female wrapped the black towel around her body and exited the bathroom making sure to turn the light off and closed the door."Mmcht" she smacked her lips, forgetting she opened the window she closed it with quickness and rushed the towel off her body.
Eight minutes later she was walking out of her room seeing her grandfather once again who was watching tv, she was surprised he wasn't in his room.
'What you watching?' She rose her eyebrows sitting beside him, he glanced at the girl seeing she had wore some pajama pants and black long sleeve.
''Mulan.'
'You love this movie, let's watch something else' Nehemiah suggested before grabbing the remote from his hands, the male chuckled shaking his head. 'Why don't you ever talk anymore lemon? I love your voice.' Neville frowned, she shook her head with a smile small on her face.
