"Chris you're not going!" I pulled his arms and dragged him out of my apartment and back into his.
"Why not?"
"Because you have school"
"And..." He stopped walking, and I turned to face him
"And you just have to stay here"
"No i'm not staying here, without you" he walked into his apartment and into his bedroom. I sighed and walked back into my apartment and grabbed my bags, and brought them into Chris' apartment. I closed the door to my apartment, and laid on the couch with my eyes closed. I heard footsteps and then a knock at the door. My eyes shot open and I looked at Chris, opening the door letting a little boy and a mean looking, ghetto black lady, dressed in high heels, and stripper like clothes inside. She pushed the kid toward Chris.
"I can't this week, I'm going to Georgia"
"Well then he can go with you, I'm fully booked for the next two months" she popped her gum. "Have fun baby" she bent down and kissed the kid on the head he wiped it off with his sleeve and she left as quickly as she came.
The little boy walked over to the couch and sat next to me, "Hi I'm Monte, I'm eight" he said to me
"What's up kid?" I said back confused. I looked at Chris "He's not your..."
"No!" He shouted "he's my brothers kid" and he walked into the bedroom.

"Um, I'm Kellita" I said trying to make conversation
"Are you Chris' girlfriend?" He smirked
"Eww no" He laughed and turned on the TV. "Was that your mom?"
"Yea" he said sadly
"What's wrong?"
"I don't wanna go back over there, don't let take me" he hugged me. Is she hitting him? She's just like my mom. Then I thought back to when I was little. I would play over at my best friends house then my mom came to get me.

Flashback

"Come on girl we got to leave" my mom yelled at me. I was standing on the porch, next to Andie, he's my best friend and I'm not leaving him.
"Mommy I don't want to go with you" I said nervously afraid of her reaction
"Excuse me?" She stepped closer to me "You better your butt in the car now"
I backed away and hid behind Andie's parents Juliette and Jacob. "No I will stay here"
She walked up to Andie's parents and quickly grabbed my and pulled me by one arms. She smacked my butt hard. I screamed as loud as I could and tears ran down my face. I tried to cover my butt with my one free hand but she still hit me and my hand stung from the constant blows. Jacob pulled my mom off of me.
"Imani don't you think its a little harsh to beat your child" he judged her, she looked at him shocked.
"No, no, no!" I yelled at him "I'm fine, I'll just leave now" I started to walk towards the car, I didn't want my mom beat me even more. Juliette grabbed me. "Sweetheart you don't have to go it you don't want to be beaten" she whispered in my ear.
"No I have to leave now" I hugged her, and Jacob and Andie. That was the last time I saw them.

I was 10.

I snapped out of my flashback. Monte was still hugging me, I felt bad for him so I said "Ok I won't let you go back the, you can stay with me and Chris in Georgia"
He smiled at me, "Thank you" he let me go and watched his show. I noticed Chris watching me, and he smiled. I rolled my eyes and looked toward the TV. I think I'm gonna like this kid.
