Can't Escape

Nightmares

"Where you been?" Monica asked me

"Out" I said as I began walking towards the stairs

Suddenly I felt her grab me by my arm and pulled me back

"Look, you better respect me in this goddamn house little girl, before I do something to you that I won't regret"

I stared at her with hate, and she looked back at me coldly. She let go of my hand and went back upstairs as I went into the kitchen to get something to drink.

I looked in the fridge, found a can of Sprite and cracked it open as I sat down by the counter. I was drinking my Sprite and I heard some footsteps, turned around and saw it was just Isaiah.

"Hey, you just came back?" He asked

"Yeah, are you mad that I just left you"
"Nah, but I was getting mad as hell when he said y'all was going on a date"

I chuckled. "You don't have to worry about me, you the youngest anyways"

"Yeah yeah yeah" he said as he grabbed the Sprite from my hand and gulped it down

I sucked my teeth. "Greedy ass" I mumbled

He lowered the can from his mouth and chuckled.

"You like it here?" he asked me

"Yeah its alright"

"You worried about Shawn"

I sighed. "yeah, but I'm not gonna let it ruin my life though"

"I'm gonna be honest I'm scared as hell" he paused, "don't tell anyone I said that"

I laughed. " I got you"

He yawned and got up from the counter. "I'm tired"

"All right, see you tomorrow, and remember we out to the park tomorrow too" I told him

He nodded his head and went back up the stairs and to his room.

I took another sip of my Sprite when I heard my phone buzz and I got a notification

Shawn walked me back home from school. But, he didn't take me all the way to my house because my dad and Monica didn't know about our relationship
