Avenue

Page 2: Dreams are not for real

Previously ..

"CORTLAN!!!" I said yelling. Opening my eyes wide as hell, looking shocked.

"Jenny, please be quiet.." Cortlan said in a calm voice. Cortlan eyes was puffy, red & wet from crying. He sounded like he had a stuffy nose & his nose was running just a bit. He stared at the wall. While his arm was dripping blood on the black carpet floor. Luckily we didn't have white carpet.

--------

"Cortlan why?" I asked walking over too him. "Talk too me" I said.

"Je-Jenny I'm tired, I do this from time too time. Its realeases my pain, I have so much on my mind" Cortlan replied , Cortlan put his head down & stared at the floor.

"What's on your mind? For you too .. Self harm?!" I yelled softly, trying not too be so loud. My eyes started too fill up like a glass full of water.

"JENNY! our father .. mama, hell! Marvin Avenue at that.. My friend Jessica told me yesterday that she'd gotten molested last week by her father, & he pulled a gun out on her yo." Cortlan replied, busting more tears out. As he spoke those words he hit his fist against his palm.

I got up from the floor. I started too look confused. I walked backwards toward Cortlan door & put palm on my forehead & my other hand on my hip.

"Girl, what the hell" Cortlan said looking at me, confused as hell. At this time cortlan arm wasn't bleeding anymore, but there was still unseen blood stains on his floor & dryed up blood from his cuts on his arm, that needed too be cleaned up.

"Wow" I said, I looked at Cortlan & pointed at him, "Clean your arm, Im going for a walk" I said rushing out the room.

I ran into my room. & cortlan words ran threw my head. " Jessica got raped last week by her father ". The same sentence kept repeating threw my head. It finally faded away. I looked in my closet & found a outfit & slipped it on & put on any kind of shoes & grabbed my iphone 6s off the bed. I ran down the steps.

"ILL BE BACK! Yo, I DEAD NO IF STREETS LIGHTS ON, BRING YA BUTT HOME" I yelled. I ran towards the door & left.

I pulled my phone out & went too my contacts & called eric. I put the phone too my ear

Dialing .......

Eric: Hello?

Me: Yo, beep me in

Eric: You dead lucky my parents aint here, come by.

Me: haha, checkmate!

Eric: ha, whatever yo. Just hurry up. Bye

Me: bye.

I hung up the phone & walked too Eric house. It was 4:12 when I finally arrived at his house. I knocked on his window. Waiting for him too raise his window up for me. I knocked again. "Comonnn, Eric" I said too myself. He finally came too the window, opening it.

"Sorry" Eric said, pulling my arm up & helping me climb threw his window.

"I should sock you," I said while shutting Eric window back.

"Mannn, whatever" Eric said throwing himself on his bed.

"Yo, I dead had the most weirdest dream lastnight yo" I said walking towards Eric's blue chair, that he had sitting in the corner of his room.

"Tell me about it" Eric said, looking at me.

I always liked Eric & I sometimes thought he liked me back.

"My daddy tried to rape me, I refused to let that shit happend & then he shot me" I said , sitting down in the chair ,

"Now, thats dead some off the wall shit Ma. But I don't think its a true dream, He ain't never around" Eric said while rubbing his head.

"Yo my brother told me Jessica got molested last week & her daddy was the one who did it. & he pulled a gun out on her" I said ,

"Thats similar too your dream" Eric replied. He started too look confused.

"I know" I said .. I looked down & got quiet.

"Come here Ma" Eric said too me.

I looked up & walked over too his bed & sat next too him.

"You know I got you" Eric said while holding my chin & looking into my eyes.

Without saying anything I looked him into his eyes & dived In for a kiss. Eric didn't do anything but go with the wave & continued too kiss me. He put his hand up my shirt. I stopped him & unlocked my lips from his & got up & walked over too my phone. It was my Moms calling.
