I woke up and instantly winced as my hands touched my butt . Mike stared at me as he sat across my bed and he touched my face. I smacked his hand as the room remained silent . He smirked with a wink and left the room .
I got out the bed and fell unto the ground as blood was coming down my leg . I cried out in pain and pulled myself up with my dresser. My face faced the mirror causing me to instantly break down into tears . My eyes had throbbing black marks around them as my lip was busted . My body was all scarred and cut up .
I'm supposed to go get my gown today . I can't face anybody looking like this . All beat up and shit . My eyes scanned around my room. I yanked the sheets off my bed and placed them into the hamper . Limping into my bathroom , I took a long shower . The warmth hit my wounds making me cringe . It all hurt so bad .
I stood up and made my way back into my bedroom . Sitting on my bed , pulling out a black shirt and some white jeans with my hoodie , I threw them on my body . I put on my toms , shades and put my poofy hair into a ponytail.
I got up and turned on my bedroom light . Blood was seeped into the floor . Shaking my head , I started to apply makeup upon my face . Even on my chest , makeup was applied . It was scratches , everywhere. It was like I had to fight for my life last night which I did .
I opened my bedroom door and instantly rushed towards the door , out the house . My legs was hurting like a motherfucker but the gown place wasn't that far from my house .
Once I got there , everyone was here trying to get their gowns . The loud talking could be heard from outside . I zipped up my hoodie and put it over my head . I entered the store and got in the shortest line .
" Kaylen , you got enough to get your gown right ?" Junior asked as he appeared next to me which caused me to put my head .
" Yeah , I'm not a charity case " I mumbled loudly as the line moved up .
" Pick your head up when your talking to me " Junior said as he lifted my chin and he stared at my face for a while . He pulled me out of line and looked at my face closely . I put a good amount of makeup but the funny thing is , I don't wear makeup . Junior licked this thumb and wiped it across where my lips were located .
Oh shit . Oh shit . Oh shit .
" Who the fuck did this shit to you ?" Junior asked in a calm manor as he held my face close to his as he examined it .
" It was uh -" I started up but had no courage to speak .
" Speak " he yelled as he escorted me outside . " Don't lie to me either "
" It was , my mother's boyfriend Mike . He hit me with the belt , over and over again . My mama didn't even help and -" I said and started to break down in tears . Jay grabbed me and pulled me into his arms . He put his head into the crook of mines .
" Then he raped me "
~~
" Jay stop ! Stop him " I screamed as Jay and his older brother , Tristan was punching on Mike . Tristan fist was connecting to Mike's face as Jay was stomping on him . My mother was in awe as she stood behind the couch . The table was broke and so was everything else in the living room .
The neighbors already called the police . Jay whipped out his gun and just like that , he shot Mike in the head . I screamed and instantly covered my mouth . Tristan whispered something in Jay's ear causing him to nod .
" You got your bags kay ?" Jay asked as he put his gun in his pants . I nodded and picked up my black duffle bag . Tristan grabbed my mother by her neck and whispered something into her ear . She nodded quickly and he pushed her to the floor . Tristan pulled out a knife and Jay escorted me out the door .
" Don't hurt my mama " I said .
" Nah she good . We just ain want you to see what was gone happen after that" He told me making me nod my head slowly .
" Get in the car " He said and I got in the car . His brother came back with bloody hands as they started to talk again. After they ended the conversation, Jay got in the car and drove me to his house .
" Hey Kaylan , how you doing girl ?" His mother said as she passed by me . His mother had a big ass butt . I smiled .
" I'm good . Where's Destiny ?" I asked .
" Sleep and if you wake her Kaylan , I'll drag you . She's a damn cry baby when she sleepy " Jasmine yelled from the living room .
" Yeah , go put your stuff in my room " He told me . I jogged upstairs and bumped into Promise on my way . She looked at me while she was on this house phone and kept continuing down the steps . I put my bag down in the corner of his room and walked out .
" So what happened to you ?" Promise asked as she faced me at the door .
" I don't want to speak about it right now "
" You good , long as you and my brother cool , we cool . " Promise told me with a smile on her face and left .
Next Day
" Ugh , ew " I said as Destiny spit up her milk unto the bib . I finished burping her and took off her bib , throwing it into the hamper .
" It's not funny . Don't you smile at me . You look just like your damn daddy " I said as she kicked her feet with a large grin applied unto her face .
" You don't usually smile Destiny " I said and Jay walked in the room . I placed Destiny on my stomach and laid across the bed , watching Moesha .
" Aye , I'm going to head out " Jay said as he sat down next to me . A knock was replied to the door and it was Jasmine .
" Uhm , your mother is going to sue Jay for trauma and disturbance of home "
