Long Way To Go

Chapter 6

Marie POV

"Why won't you guys go out? You guys like each other correct?"

We were now in my living room finishing our projects. Honestly I was getting irritated.  If both of yall like each other why not go out ? I'll wait.

"Yes" They both said and put their heads down. Like they were ashamed to like each other.

"Why the sad faces?" Say'Vion asked.

"It's just that I have my own problems going on in my life and we coming from two separate backgrounds" Shon defended.

"And I do to. So going out with Shon  would just be to an extra weight on my shoulders and to deal with" Vondre Added.

"So now I'm alot to deal with?" She asked.

"With that temper you have , yes. You always snapping on me for no reason!" Vondre started to get loud.

"I do not!" Shon shouted.

"HEY! Calm down my dad is upstairs. Matter of fact Shon come on" I got up and went to my room and she followed.

"Damn this your room? "

I nodded.

"Shon why do you keep snapping on him like that? "

"It just happens. I'm diagnosed with a Bi-polar disorder. It's not like I don't mean it. I can't go with him because I worried if I get to attached he's going to leave just like my dad. Truth is I really do wanna be with Vondre but he has his own problems and you heard him say I'm alot so it won't work out. Now can we please just drop this whole situation..please?"

Michaels POV  (Marie's dad)

I came down stairs because I heard shouting. I went into the livingroom and seen two boys sitting down doing projects.

"Hey I'm Marie's dad. I'm just checking to see if everybody is okae I heard yelling" I said.

They looked at each other first and then looked at me

"Yeah. Mr. Johnson everything is fine just having a little bit of girl problems" One of them said.

"Oh I get it"

"You do?" The light skin one sad.

"See back in school I had the girls lined up for me. Do you like the girl son?"

He nodded his head

"Then what's the problem? You like her she likes you im guessing , is it my daughter?"

He shook his head profosely.

"Good cause I wouldn't told you no" I said serious. I could tell I intimidated them.

"I'm just playing but just talk to her one on one and found out what the problem his son. It'll get better" I got up and went back upstairs. Kids.

L'Vondre POV

Marie's dad was cool. I was expecting that for real. That's bout to be my mans.

Marie and Shon came back down stairs and was disturbingly quiet because Shon is never quiet unless something is wrong.

I grabbed her hand and stepped outside.

"What wrong Lo'Shonda? "

"Nothing"

"I'll know when something is wrong with you Shon your face tells it all. So tell me" I said irritated as hell.

"I don't want to go with you because your going to leave me like my dad and feed me all lies. You alrea-'

I kissed her.

She pulled back and went inside without saying anything. I was stuck thinking of what I had did wrong. I like her alot and if me putting all my problems to the side is the only way I could be with her then so be it.

Lo'Shonda POV

When I opened the door Marie and Say tried to run back to the living area.  Them too.

"Soo..what did you guys talk about?" Marie tried to pretend.

"Nothing nosey ass"

We laughed a little. "He kissed me"

The laughing ceased.

Vondre walked back in and sat down next Shon. There was an awkward vibe amongst the two. Vondre grabbed her hand.

"Starting today Lo'Shonda Harris is my girlfriend and I don't care what she or anybody says" Vondre stated.

"Aww!" I squealed. I jumped up and hugged them both. "My nigga" Say said doing whatever they do. Shon was just blushing thee hardest.

Vondre POV

It was now 7:30 and I was headed home. To be honest I feel happy now that in with Shon.

I walked in the house and heard yelling coming from upstairs.  I dropped my bag and seen my big brother trying to pry my dad's hands from around my mom's throat.

"Dad stop let her go!" J'Vontae,  my older brother screamed.

"Bitch when I come home I expect a hot meal not no damn salad!" He dropped her on the floor.

I ran to the bathroom to grab a rag and put it under cold water. I kneel in front of her and wiped her lip. Truth is I hate my father. He always hits her and she's the dumbass that let him.

"This is the last time I promise baby"

"Ma you keep saying that."

"Nah this the last time that nigga putting his hands on you and I mean it" Vontae said leaving us alone.

"Ma why does he keep hurting you and you allow him to stay?"

"I don't know baby. I don't know" she kissed my forhead.

Say'Vion POV

"Mama please I'm sorry please don't do this"

"Shut the fuck up and get in that room"

"Mama please I don't want to go" I begged crying.

Slap!

"Do what the fuck I tell you to do! Little boy don't make me whoop your ass"

I walked into the room and seen this older woman sitting on the bed naked.

I began to undress. I walked over to the bed and the lady snatched me up and got on top of me.

I was still crying. I didn't want to do this but I had no choice it was either me or my younger siblings and I couldn't let them go through this.

"This will be over soon baby I promise"

Why couldn't I just die already? Life would be so easier.
