A Girl Like Me

The Truth

I can't believe he's in a gang. After I expressed to him how much I hate thugs and what they did to my family.

I called up Malcolm and asked him could I come over. He said it was fine.

When I arrived at Malcolm's house he was waiting for me at the door.

"Wassup?" He said moving out the doorway so that I could make my way in.

I went to sit on the couch and Malcolm joined me.

"Y-your in a gang?" I asked.

He was silent for a minute but then answered.

"Yes."

"How could you, after I told you what happened to my dad?" I said upset.

"I know, I knew if you found out you wouldn't want anything to do with me. That's why I wanted us to just be friends."

I began to cry.

"I'm sorry Amber." Malcolm said.

"I really liked you. I wanted to be with you and you lead me on." I yelled.

"I tried not to but I started catching feelings." Malcolm admitted.

"I don't care about you being in a gang. Okay! I just want to be with you." I said crying into his arms.

He lifted up my face and kissed me.

"Just answer one thing." I said "Have you ever killed anyone?"
