A Girl Like Me

Jail Time

"Where's Malcolm?" I asked.

"He's in the police car. He shot Tony. It wasn't his fought he was protecting me." Aaron cried.

I ran over to the police car and spotted Malcolm with his head faced down.

I cried. He looked up at me and then back down.

"MALCOLM!" I cried.

And then the police car drove away.

Malcolm's Pov.

It hurt me like hell to see Amber crying. I knew I was going to jail. I killed somebody ain't no getting out of this.

It's been 3 weeks since Malcolm got locked up. They sent Aaron and the other little boys in as a witness and Malcolm's lawyer is trying to get Malcolm out with a self defense charge. If not he could got away for a long time.

I Visit Malcolm everyday after school but the lady says he does not want to see me. I cried every night wondering why he didn't want to talk to me. I thought he loved me.

Malcolm's Pov.

They keep telling me that someone is visiting me and I know it's Amber so I deny her. I don't want her to see me this way I feel so bad. I miss my brother.

Graduation day was beautiful. I graduated with valedictorian and received a reward for most likely to succeed. It felt weird graduating without my friends. Aaliyah dropped out of school and Malcolm was in jail. I wish they were here.

I'm getting ready to move to Chicago in August for college. I hate to leave St. Louis but I can't say. Besides its starting to look like Malcolm's staying in jail.

It's been a 3 months since Malcolm got Locked up now and he gets his sentence on June 23rd. I decided to stop go seeing Malcolm it only made me feel bad.

I spent my day over Aaliyah's house helping her with the baby. She's been having a hard tim dealing with Romney's death. She doesn't even look the same. You could tell she's been crying.

Romney's funeral was beautiful. I felt really bad that Malcolm couldn't be there. I sent him a letter and Romney's obituary through the mail but of course he didn't get it. The lady ended up sending the mail back to me.

I was a little off today. I was dizzy and I felt as if I had to vomit. I thought about what could be wrong. Then I remembered I haven't came on my cycle yet.

I started to feel the vomit come up my throat. I ran to the restroom and threw up in the toilet.

Aaliyah ran behind me and held my hair.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"I think I'm pregnant." I confessed.
