Rough

part 3

I got up and as always I did my morning routine. I decided to wear some black sweat pants and a white shirt. Luckily there was no stains on it.

I ran downstairs and looked at my mom.

"There is no more bread and um.."

"What?"

My mom just looked at my dad was drinking a beer reading the news paper.

My mom mouthed "your dad lost his job"

Tears started forming in my eyes.

"Don't cry everything is going to be fine." My dad said.

"HOW? WE BARELY HAD MONEY AS IT IS NOW WE ARE BASICALLY HOMELESS."

"AYE DONT GET LOUD WITH ME."

"I JUST DI-"

was all I can say and smack!!! My dad got up so fast and slapped me.

"You know what im leaving too."

"Oh yea where you going?"

I rolled my eyes and walked out the door without saying a word. I thought he would chase after me but he didn't.
Now where can I go? Who can I stay with? But I can't turn back now. I started walking down the sidewalk looking around at the houses. Everyone lights where on. I was hearing laughter. Families were playing games or watching movies. I wish my family was like that. But my family is broke and just disgusting.

"Yo where you going?" It was jimmy in his car again. I was so nervous to talk to him. Every time I see him I automatically feel happy as if he is already mine.

"I'm just walking. . ."

"Really at 10? Where was you headed?"

Just then tears started forming in my eyes. I didn't have a answer for him or for myself.

He got out of the car and walked up to me looking me dead In the eyes with those beautiful brown eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist letting our body's touch. My arms barely wrapped around his muscles but for some reason i felt safe when im in his arms. I can smell his cologne and it smelled so good.

"What's wrong?" He said stepping back.

"I. . . I'm escaping. I can't deal with my family no more."

"Sometimes I hate my family but you still have to love them. You can't choose your family."

"Yea I know. But I'm not going back there.

"How about you come with me?"

"Where?"

"To my house."

"What about your parents?" I said.

"I only have my dad left."

"I'm sorry."

"Its cool. My mom was doing hard drugs and we try to get her in rehab but she wouldn't listen. Then we took her to her doctor which he prescribed some antibiotics. A few days later she did a overdose but before she did she came up to me and was like "I love you with all my heart. But don't worry your father will take care of you. He is a good man. But I don't want you to see me like this jimmy. And when you meet that one girl I want you to tell me all about her in your dreams." And that's it. I couldn't stop her she went into the bathroom and did it."

Just then I started crying not only for him but for me as well. You will never know when someone will die.

"Don't cry baby girl. I try to forget about it. But my dad has gotten a new girlfriend. I don't know if he did that to replace my mom spot or what? But she can never can."

"Exactly. I mean my sister left. She never came back. I miss her so much. Ain't no telling where she is. My dad is a drug attic and my mom trys to get away but she can't she is miserable."

"I guess we both got fucked up parents."

"Yea we do."

Jimmy grabbed my hand gently and walked me over to the passenger seat. He opened the door for me and I got in. I closed the door and he walked around the door to the driver seat.

"You think your dad will mind me coming over?"

"You wont see him I'm taking you to a better place than that."

I didn't understand what he was saying but I felt safe with him and I trust him so I just put my seat belt on and he started driving.
