For the past week I have been living in my car, and I have been feeling very depressed, don't wanna eat nothing. I have a dead phone w/ no charger, 20 dollars and little to no gas in my car. I haven't even showered or brushed my teeth in a week. I could call my brother but I'm not gonna do that and I could call my sister but I don't, just can't do it. But if I call her I mean what's the worst that can happen. I didn't even call my best friends even though I know they would let me stay at their house, speaking of them they have been calling me since they found out that I broke with Carter and left the house. I just ignored everybody calls until my phone died. But I think I'm gonna go to a pay phone and call my sister, the thing is though she told me not to live with him because when we break up Ima gonna want to leave but where am I gonna go. I just don't feel like her rubbing it all in my face and making me feel worse than I already do. I haven't been back to work so I'm pretty sure I lost my job.
For the past hour I have been riding around looking for a pay phone until I stopped at one by a barbershop.
I had a few coins in my car so that I can use the pay phone. I'm walking up to the pay phone and I picked it up, put the change in.
"Excuse me beautiful"
"No disrespect to you sir but I'm handling something very important right now!"
"Oh my bad shawty "
"Yea, I have to get back to this."
He was cute too and he just got finish getting his haircut but I had to handle this or I will be sleeping in my car forever. The phone has stop ringing and now she answers the phone
"Hello?"
"Hey sis, it's Marie"
"I figured so,what you want?"
"I just wanted to know if you had an extra space in your house?"
"What do you mean?"
"Can I live with you?" I asked hesitantly.
"What happen to living with Carter?"
"Ok so when I tell you this please don't say I told you so"
"He broke with you and you left huh?"
"Ummm yea" I said knowing she's about to start judging me
"I knew it, u don't call for nothing unless you need something so I knew something happened, but uh no you can't live with me because I'm taking of dad and I have a family of my own now"
"Why are you taking care of dad?"
"If you was around, then you would know why" she said as I heard her husband say "who are you talking to?" And she replied saying "Nobody" and then the phone line went dead.
I slammed the phone back in to place, yelling then screaming and now crying "Damn, Damn, Damn"
The same man from earlier walks over to me and says "Are you okay?, I heard you need somewhere to stay"
"Yeah I'm fine" I said walking back to the car, feeling embarrassed that the cute boy knows I'm homeless. He was following behind and I didn't notice until I got in the back in the car so I rolled the window down. Before I could say anything he said
"and from the looks of it your living in your car."
"Not for too long, I'm going to live with my brother" I said lying, I haven't talked to my brother since he graduated high school and went to college.
Just like he knew I was lying he said
"Well if that don't work out, here's my number."
"Thank you but I'm not gonna need it"
"Take it anyway" he said so I took cause I figured I might need it. After taking it, he walked away so I pulled off. In the back of my mind I'm still trying to figure out why my dad is living with my sister and where is my mother. I parked on this street where there was parking so I can finally go to sleep. I was up in my car thinking about my parents and how I've failed them as their child. But I know I failed them a long time ago when I didn't follow through with the sport I had played but my siblings did so my parents would always talk about them to people. NOBODY would talk about Raven Chloe Williams and I mean NOBODY.
But when I graduated college I thought all that would change but it didn't so I had hate for them. That's why I never went back home after I graduated. While thinking about all that I fell asleep.
1 hour later
I woke up due to rapid knocking on my window, standing there was a man in a mask, with a gun his hand pointed towards my window. When I lift my head up off the steering wheel he put the gun down and took a breath of fresh air like he knew me.
He removed the mask and it was the same boy from the barbershop earlier.
" What are you doing around here?" He asked me.
"I thought this would be a place for me to sleep without any interruptions."
"Come on get out the car."
"No, why?" I asked with a confused look on my face.
" Because I'm willing to help you."
" But I don't know you."
" Come on, I mean what do you have to loose." I guess he saw the look on my face because when he said that I felt offended, even though he was right.
"My bad ma, I didn't mean it like that"
"No it's fine, at least you're right" I mumbled.
"Come on, so you I can help you"
"Ok" I said as I locked my car doors.
"But what's your name" I asked remembering that I never got a name from him.
"Raymon but call me Ray" he said as we walked in his house which is pretty nice by the way.
"You hungry"
"Umm yea" I spoke shyly.
"So what is a pretty girl like you doing living in your car?" He asked.
I then started to get nervous thinking that he would judge me.
" I was living with my boyfriend"
"That's still not explaining why you living in your car"
I wasn't sure if I should tell him the rest.
"We broke up so I left"
"Why you leave if you knew you didn't have anywhere to go" he asked sounding very sad for me.
" Ok so ..... He was sleeping with his co-worker and I left that night so when I came back the next day he told me I should move out cause he said this just ain't going to work out" I said breaking down. "I told him no and it wasn't like I didn't wanna leave his cheating ass but I didn't have no where to go so then the next morning that bitch had a nerve to show up at the house so me and her ended up fighting. I went to pack my stuff and he said he never wanted to see me again so I told him I was pregnant and left." I said crying all over again just talking about it.
"That's crazy but here" he said handing me a plate of food with steak, mashed potatoes, greens, and macaroni and cheese. Just looking at it made my mouth water.
"You need to eat especially now that your pregnant."
" Thank you, but I might get an abortion cause right now I'm not stable enough to have a baby"
" I can help you, you don't have to get rid of it."
"No, it's not your baby so you don't have to help me." I told him.
"Well at least stay with me at my house"
"Sure just one night" I smiled.m
"Ok fine now let's go, bring the plate with you" He said rushing me.
"What do you want from me?" I asked randomly.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"You helping me so I know you want something for it."
"Nah I don't want nothing. I just want to help you cause I know people that have been in your situation." He told me as I smiled so bright.
"Thank You"
"No problem"
