“I hate you” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “How could you do this to me”! I ran out of the living room heading towards my bedroom. Once inside I grabbed my door and slammed it hard. My father jerked the door open and walked towards me pointing his finger in my face.

“Don’t you ever slam a door in my house” His nostrils were flaring in anger. I stepped closer to him no longer afraid of what he could do to me.

“Well, since your cheating ass will no longer live in this house then I can slam as many doors as I want to!” I yelled into his face. Before I could react my father slapped me. My head jerked to the side and I stumbled. I heard my mother gasp and I straightened to my 5’ 7” height. My mom ran over to me and grabbed my shoulders. I could taste blood and my lip throbbed. I yanked myself out of my mom’s hands and walked around her. My father tried to stop me from leaving the room but I slapped his hands away.

“Don’t touch me”. I walked down the hallway with my father close behind.

“I’m sorry Devin… please stop…just listen…you don’t know the whole story.” I could hear the regret in my father’s voice but I didn’t care. He was a cheating bastard that hit woman. I grabbed my car keys from the hook and ran out of the house towards my car.

Once I made it to my best friend’s house I got out and slammed my car door. Mona short for Monalisa has been my best friend from the womb. We are thick as thieves. We’ve seen each other through a lot. But most recently Mona found out she was pregnant and it was taking a toll on her family. Her “stupid” boyfriend Terell had just got out of juvi for stealing another car. I swear that boy just did not know how to stay out of trouble. Mona’s family was sick and tired of all of his “issues” and begged her to give up on him and move on. But Mona is in love. I shook my head at that thought. Love shouldn’t hurt so much. I knocked on the front door when I heard my name being called from across the street.

“Dev, girl you look better every time I see you.” I turned to Dante’s voice and rolled my eyes.

“What’cha want Te’?” I was not in the mood for this right now.

Dante ran across the street coming closer to me. “Damn girl why you so hostile.”

I swear these boys don’t get a clue. Dante has been trying to get me for years, but he just wasn’t my type. I swear ever since Dante saw Boys In The Hood he thought he was a gangster. We live in the burb’s, but don’t tell him that. Standing in front of me with a Bulls jersey and his jeans hanging to low on his hips I rolled my eyes in irritation.

“What the hell happed to yo lip” He reached to touch my face and I jerked away.

“Don’t worry about it.” I snapped at him.

Before he could respond to me the front door came open and out walked Mitchell. Mitchell is Mona’s cute older brother. I had a crush on him for years and I think he knew I was crushing on him back then but he always looked out for me. Mitchell is a man whore. This boy goes thru woman like I go thru toothbrushes and let’s just say I have an issue with using a toothbrush for longer then a month. Don’t get me wrong he may be the love them and leave them type but he cares about his family and he always treats his girls well. Mitch is 6’4 all lean muscle with caramel skin and hazel eyes. His curly hair is dark brown and he has light freckles on the bridge of his nose. I know ladies freckles!! There just so cute!! Just like me his father is black and his mother is white. The only difference is that my father stuck around where Mitch and Mona’s father left when Mona turned three and Mitch was seven. Our parents have been friends since before any of us were born and when their parents got a divorce it was a surprise to us all. Now my parents are getting a divorce because my father can’t keep his pants zipped up. Mitch’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
