Y/ns Pov
*phone alarm goes off*
Y/ns: *groans*
I turn off my alarm heading to the bathroom.
I stayed the night with Zemari, especially after she told me what happened between her and Adam. I was gonna ask my brother Rodney to help me find him so we could pull up on him, but Zemari begged me not to. And especially begged me not to tell Hakeem.
I walked outta the bathroom to wake up Zemari. I didn't pack any clothes so I knew I had to head home. I was just letting her know that I was leaving.
She nodded at me, and I left her house.
I walked the cold morning all the way back home.
Getting to my house at 5:12
I needed to get dressed quick.
I unlocked the houses front door, and locked it back once inside.
Quietly ran up the steps to my bedroom and went to grab a shower.
5:56 I was almost ready. I just put my braids into a bun, while I sported a black casual solid pinafore with straps maxi dress, wearing a white turtleneck bodysuit underneath. I dressed my feet with my Crystal-embellished leather exaggerated-sole sneakers, threw on a few necklaces, bracelets, a pair of thick silver hoop earrings, a little makeup, and perfume.
I grabbed my bag and rushed downstairs.
My care package apology baskets were already packed except for Mrs. Bakers.
I still needed to finish crocheting the babies hat and burping cloth. Luckily it was easy to do. But the hat was gonna take a min and it's already 6:14. Ykw hell I'll be a few mins late to class it'll be fine.
I sat in the quiet living room hooking and pullin at the yarn bit by bit.
Rod: So... where were you yesterday?
His tired voice sounded as if he wanted to choke me.
I stared at the ground.
Y/n: What do you mean? I was at school. Unless you mean last night, I stayed with Ari.
I looked up at him with doe eyes while mentally praying he didn't know that I left class.
Rod: nahhh yk what I'm talkin about. Ms. Class skipper.
He spoke with a snooty remark.
I stayed silent trying not to cry, feelin myself get overwhelmed with everything that happened yesterday.
Y/n: i-it wasnt-
Rod: Dammit Y/n yk better, grow tf up already, it's not about you.
He snapped at me.
I felt my heart shatter..now even my brother was made at me. I tried to keep a straight face. I stayed silent and kept crocheting.
Rod: Y/n
He called for me. I still stayed quiet.
Rod: Y/n???
Y/n: ...
Rod: Y/N YOU HEAR ME TALKIN TO YOU!!
Y/n: ....
He then took my yarn and the little bit of hat that I crocheted threw it across the room.
I stayed quiet and just looked at my stuff that was no longer in my hands.
Rod: *sighs* Powerpuff... you only get quiet when something is bothering you. Ykw forget abt yesterday, what's wrong?
He said, crouching down to my level.
I wanted to tell him everything but...I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I just hugged him. A few tears fell, but not a word slipped from my lips.
