When the silence breaks

*Flashback* 13 Years Before

Claire's POV -
I'm at my boyfriends Tony house , He wakes me up every morning with all that damn music & that loud ass game he plays , it's 7 am Who in the hell gets up this early , but i can't say nothing because he is doing me a favor , i have nowhere to go . my mom recently just kicked me out because she thought i was
sleeping with her husband . why in the hell would i sleep with my moms man ?? Hell who knows what's going on in her mind , she's been acting delusional these last couple of months . My boyfriend Tony is older than me , I'm 17 & he's 25 . But I love him so much , i met him through my brother Kevin who's now in jail for murder , Tony Always looked out for me even when kevin was out but since he knows kevin was my only sibling & my protector He just always had my back since . Never really thought i would date Tony for one because of our age difference but i love this man y'all, literally without him i would be somehwere on the streets of Harlem selling my body trying to make some lil change . Me & Tony never really act like a couple in public he just tells everybody I'm his lil homie & in my head I'm thinking "Lil homie? When you eating this pussy I'm not yo lil homie" but then i snap back and remember that he could go to jail because I'm under age .
