Kaila's POV

Rashad rushed over and shoved me to the ground. He punched DeAndre dead in thd jaw and started kicking him. I jumped up and pulled him off my bestfriend.He backhanded me and I tasted blood. I don't know where all the courage came from. But I just pounced on him punching and kicking and everything. "So you gone choose this nigga over me! Huh? Is that how you finna act! ? I gotchu ma. I gotchu." He yelled.  Then he turned around and walked out.

"Are you okay? " I asked crying.  "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for choosing to help me instead of leave with him." DeAndre got up and hugged me. We walked to the car without a word. We drove for 30 minutes to his house. "I'm sorry for that we shouldn't have kissed." I managed to choke out. "It's okay. It's not your fault. But promise me something. " He turned to look at me. "What is it? I ask curiously. "Stay away from Rashad ma. I know its gone be hard. Don't let him sweet talk you. Avoid him. He gone try and do something okay? " I looked at him and thought about it. "Okay. I promise." I gave him a hug and he got out and went inside. I drove to my house, got out the car and opened the door. When I got in all I heard was yelling. "Why you always asking for money? I'm tired of you using me for it! You ont ever say shit to me unless its about fucking money! ! You ont care bout me or Kaila just the fucking green!"That was King. As much as I hated seeing my brother upset and talking to mom that way, he was right. All she cared about was dead presidents on green paper. My mom slapped the shit outta him.. I thought his neck broke. "Don't you ever talk to me like that! I carried you for 9 months. I am your fucking mother! " She was hitting him. He pushed her off. "I'm not yo son. I'm just a boy who came out of you. You ain't treat me right, you never did ass you never. Fucking. Will. I'm out."

He went upstairs and 30 minutes later he came downstairs with a lot of suitcases and bags. I was still by the door in shock. He came to the door to leave.  He dropped his bags and pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry I had to leave you here Kaila. I will always love you. Call me if you ever want to go or she makes you go okay? You know where I keep that emergency money okay? Please don't forget about your big brother. I love you. Imma text you whenever I can to check up on you. Bye Kaila." He handed me a necklace with both of our names engraved in a heart. "Keep this to remind you that imma always be here." He picked up his bags and left. I just sat on the porch and cried. Why is my life like this?
