Everything will be okay

Chapter 8

Jamari : (The Next Day)

I felt bad having to leave Jayonna but my mom took her to her doctors appointment.

It took me 2 buses and one Subway to get my purse. I only did this because I needed my money and all my personal stuff in there. Jarnell busted my lip because I was in his room looking for change to get here.

I squinted my eyes looking at the house it was dark when I was here but I'm familiar to the area. I seen Devin's car parked outside his house.

I took a peek into the car and the purse wasn't in the seat. I took a deep breathe and walked to the front door.

I knocked hard on the door until he answered. It took him a while before he swung open the door looking anger. His face softened a bit when he seen me.

"Did I leave my purse in your car?". I said quickly.

He rubbed his eyes and opened the door wider . I stepped inside and he picked my purse up and handed it to me.

I checked inside and my journal was missing.

"Devin did you go in my purse?". I said looking at him.

"I couldn't help myself Jamari". He said walking to the kitchen.

"Never look into a girl's purse and where is it?". I said following him into the kitchen .

"Oh this?". He said taking the journal off the marble table.

"Yes that , now give it me". I said tryna snatch it out his hand.

"I can help you Jamari". He said giving me my journal.

"I don't need your help". I said stuffing my journal in my purse.

"Your own brother Have sex with you and your father beats you? You need someone I can tell. Let me be that person". He said walking close to me.

"No Why would you read it anyway?". I said shaking my head.

"Jamari,please let me help you. You're staying here with me you can't stay there". He said pointing upstairs.

"Bye Devin". I said rolling my eyes.

I started walking away and ran to the door and he touched me and I started to cover my face I had a flashback of Jarnell hitting me z

"I'm not gonna hit you just calm down Jamari". He said putting my arms down.

"Why do you care so much Devin,you don't even know me! Nobody cares about me expect my sister . I don't need your help okay! I can do this my own like I been doing". I said with tears going down my face.

He pulled me into a hug and I cried into his chest. I don't need anybody I've been going through this . I pulled away to leave but he shut the door before I could open the screen door. This is about to a long day as I can see.
