I was walking home from school and I decided to take the long way since Mom and Dad weren't home. I got to Main street, and I saw something very unusual. I saw curly hair that looked like Harry's. I refused to believe that that was him. "No. That's not him". I said, and I continued walking. When I walked by a group of guys drug dealing, I saw Harry's emerald green eyes. My mouth dropped in disgust. His hair was messy, his eyes were red, and he smelled like tobacco. I ran away, not looking back. I heard Harry's husky voice call after me as I ran. Finally, I got tired, and ran into an alley. I heard Harry's footsteps come closer and closer to where I was, and I tried to run away more, but there was a wall that was blocking me. I saw Harry's shadow, and covered my eyes. I knelt down, and Harry grabbed me by the arm. "SHHH. It's going to be alright!" Harry said to me. I pushed him away, and he fell backwards onto the concreate. I didn't know what to do. I was terrified out of my mind. "You... You get away from me". I said in a frightened tone. I tried to run away, but Harry pushed me back. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you". He said. Tears were flowing out of my eyes. This was just like the movies. Some stupid girl meets a guy and it turns out that he's bad. In all the Lifetime movies this always happens. But I've also learned how to defend myself in times like this. "GO AWAY!" I said loud enough so he could hear. He tried to put a hand on me, but I pushed him away. "I'm not going to hurt you. I won't" He said. He sat down next to me, and somehow I let him. We sat there in silence for a very long time. No one spoke for about 5 minutes. Finally, he was the first one to speak. "I'm sorry". He said. I looked at his eyes and they were full of sorrow. I didn't know if I should trust him. I didn't know what to do. So I just didn't speak. "I've been doing it all my life". He said. I folded my hands together, and looked at the ground. "Why?" I asked. I saw him shrug from the corner of my eye. "I don't know" He said. "I don't know".
Harry dropped me off at my house after that whole thing. "I'm really sorry about all that". He told me. I got my key out and opened the door. Once I got it opened, I stood outside of it, still talking to Harry. "You scared me". I said. He rubbed my back. "I'm really sorry". He said. I nodded. "I know." I said. I looked down at the ground, and Harry looked at me. "Well, I guess you don't want to talk to me ever again now, huh?" He asked. I shrugged. I didn't even know if I should be talking to him now. But I am. "Maybe". I said. Maybe? Really? This guy is a drug dealer and I don't know if I wanna talk to him? This guy's a danger to you and your community, your friends and your family and you don't know if you wanna talk to him? I turned the key into the lock, and Harry immediatly pushed me inside. He kissed me on the lips, and I tried to regain my breath. But I couldn't and I didn't want to. "Be Mine". He said seductively. He contiuned kissing me with his moist lips, and we landed on a table. He put me on the table. He felt me up, and I pulled him up onto the counter. I didn't know how long we were there for but the next thing I knew, we were on my bed "Oh My God, Harry". I moaned loud enough for the neighbors could hear. "I want you". He said seductivly. I didn't even really know the guy that well, but we just happened to be having sex when my father came home from work. Sometimes, he walks into my room to check on me, and sometimes he doesn't. This was one of those times. "Maya?" Dad asked knocking on the door. I bet he could hear me saying "Keep doing that", and "Don't stop" because he walked in and closed his eyes. "MAYA GONZALEZ". I looked up from the bed, and acted like nothing happened. "Oh, dad". I said. Harry got up and started to walk downstairs, but dad pushed him back. "Just who do you think you are?" He asked, looking at Harry up and down. Harry stood there for a while before saying "Uh, my name is Harry" in a really raspy tone. Dad walked around Harry to check him out. "You smell like drugs. You been involved in drugs?" Dad asked. Harry shook his head. "No sir. That's my mother". He said lying. I swallowed really hard. I didn't want dad to find out the truth. Dad walked away. "Alright, you're off the hook". He said. Harry almost took a deep breath. "Thank you sir", he said shaking his hand. "Just remember, if I find out you been doin' drugs, you outta here. You got that?" Dad asked. Harry nodded. "Yes sir". He said. Dad walked away, and I ran to close the door. It was a long afternoon, and it wasn't even dinner time yet.
