Happy Ending? [ON HOLD]

Summer

I didn't know where we were going.

I looked down at Tia in the dim, orange streetlights.

She was wearing her pink Barbie puffy jacket with a furry hood.

Her thick, black eyelashes, contracted well with the fake fur, surrounding her tiny face.

I was still holding her hand as we walked down empty roads.

We were gonna go to Keenans house, I finally decided.

I smiled as I thought of him.

He was my boyfriend of 2 years.

I loved him so much.

I knew that he would be willing to keep me and Tia for as long as we needed.

I didn't have battery on my phone, to call him but I could see lights on in his house and knew he was in.

I went to ring the doorbell but saw that it was already open.

I stepped in, pulling a sleepy Tia in with me.

I froze as I reached the bottom of the stairs.

I looked down at a pair of heels.

And they sure as hell weren't mine.

"Tia, stay here I'm coming back."

As I walked up the stairs I could hear moans.

I felt sick.

Oh, so this nigga wanna do me like that.

Iight.

I held back my tears.

He didn't deserve to make me waste valuable water over him.

As I reached the top of the stairs, I was about to enter his room...

But for what?

I already knew what was happening.

Why did I need to put my heart through anymore than it could take.

I kicked the door open then ran back down the stairs, just so he knew I was here.

I heard a shriek, then a thud, then footsteps coming after me.

I ran as fast as I could, picking up Tia and the bags, on my way out.

"Summer, baby..." I heard him say as I power walked down the street.

I stopped and turned to look at him, just so he could see what I was going through, 18, nowhere to go, with a 5 year old at 10:45 at night.

He had a bed sheet wrapped around his waist. He didn't even finish his sentence. I turned back around and walked. I didn't even know where I was going.

I sat at a bus shelter and cried. Tia was now asleep on my lap.

I knew that it wasn't right for me to have Tia out at this time. It was beginning to rain.

We ran into a phone box and I dialled the number of my bestfriend , Day(Deshawn).

It rang 3 times before he answered.

Me: Day...

Deshawn: Summer is that you.

Me:Yeah..(in between sniffles)

Deshawn: Aye ma where you at? Calling from a pay phone at this time of night.

Me: Please come pick me up. Ive got Tia.. and I have no-where to sleep.
