Jordyn.

Please God. Just get me through this and I promise I'll be a sitting pleasure. Please please please. Protect my mama, protect Justin. Let it end. Let all of this go away. Please God. Amen.

"Jordyn!" I heard my mother's abusive boyfriend call my name. I cried silent tears. I heard Justin, my little brother, whimpering. I shushed him before we got caught.

"Come on now Terrell," my mama pleaded. "They not here baby. Let's go out to eat." I heard the strain in my mama's voice. That could be from her crying, the stress, and/or the fact that she is trying to save her children from a pedophile. I peaked around the corner to see if they were gone. Luckily, Terrell was in the car. I grabbed my mama, Justin, and our suitcase. As we were making our way out of the backdoor I heard a loud sound. I turned around and saw my mother looking down at her stomach, holding it. I saw her fall and then saw Terrell behind her. I wanted to run back and help my mother but I know that I couldn't help her. I had to think about what's best for Justin. I pick Justin up throw this bag over my shoulder, and roll the suitcase as I run away from the house. I run and run until I get to a place where me and Justin are safe. I hear Justin's whimpers again. I squatted down to his level.

"You okay buddy?" I asked Justin. I knew it was a stupid question to ask but it was just a necessary question. He didn't answer and kept whimpering.

"Come here baby," I said to Justin as I held open my arms. He sat down in my lap as I sat on the ground with our things surrounding us. "You hungry? You wanna eat?" Justin continued to not talk but just shook his head no. I rocked both of us just for comfort. Justin finally spoke to request me to sing him a lullaby to go to sleep. I sang and rocked him back to sleep. As soon as I noticed he was sleep, I sighed. What are we gonna do?

August.

"Man that's bullshit. Ya know K. Michelle got a fatta ass than Nicki. It's a fact." My boy, Donny, stated.

"Boy is ya high or sum? Nicki tha queen of fat ass." Donny's brother, Manny, stated.

"Mannnnnnnn y'all all shut the fuck up. If Arthur was here he would tell both a y'all be quiet. It ain't een that serious." I said, tired of hearing them arguing over pointless things.

"You jus mad 'cause you ain't gettin' no ass or no pussy." Manny said.

"Aye fam you can quit allat  out 'cause ya know I can get the pussy any day. Na lets go," I said grabbing a basketball and getting up from the couch.

"Ima kick ya ass next time I hea' ya ass cursin' like that." My mama yelled from the kitchen. I sighed. Lawd, give me strength.

Hiiii babies ! I'm sorry I abandoned my other books. I'm sorry to say, I'm not continuing them and I am putting all of my focus on this book. I just felt like I could do so much better with my writing and I didn't really like the story line, it was all over the place. So let all your friends, family, neighbors, dogs, cats, fish, teachers, classmates, bosses, etc. about this book. I appreciate all my day one fans. Love y'all and I'll see you in the next chapter!
