Resilient (August Alsina)

Chapter 6

Kyon

It's been about a week since the whole incident and I haven't seen Liza since then. She hasn't been to school and she doesn't answer my calls or texts. I found out that it wasn't her first time doin some like dis. I can't wait to see ha, to just hug ha and hold ha.

It's killin' me cuz I miss ha. I want her back here with me.

I also got in a fight with tha nigga dat pushed ha off da bus. I got suspended for two days but I ain't care. My momma on da Otha hand won too happy bout it, she was real upset and da fact dat it was ova Liza again got her even more upset.

The class door opened and she walked in, every one stopped what they were doing and was lookin' at ha. She walked over to the teacher sayin' mornin' and slowly made her way to her seat.

I looked back at ha with remorse written all over my face but she didn't even look in my direction she just kept her focus on the board.

For the whole class I would glance back at ha but she was always engrossed in ha work or what da teacher sayin.

When lunch time came I was more than happy cuz I got a chance to finally talk ta ha. I walked up to our table and took a seat. She looked up at me and gave me a small smile.

"Liza--"

"Can we go to the roof?"

"The roof?"

"Yeah the school's roof"

"Are we allowed up there?"

"No but we wot get caught I promise"

"Ok let's go"

She led me the whole way carefully making sure no one saw us. When we finally got there the wind was blowin, not too much to disturb us but to keep us cool. We could see all sort of things from here.

She sat on the floor and leaned against the wall, I did the same turnin' to ha.

"So how ya been?"

"Just taking it one day at a time" she signed lookin' down in ha lap.

"Why ya did dat?" I asked referring to the suicide attempt.

"Because sometimes I don't wanna be here. I feel
Like a failure and I just wanted to leave"

"Ya could've talk ta someone though"

"The only person I wanted to talk to was my father Kyon"

"Ion know what ta tell ya Liza I really don't" I signed and grabbed ha hand. 

"the only thing I can say is dat don't give up, I know ya can do dis, make ya father proud baybeh"

"I'm trying, studying twice as much as I was before"

"Dats what I'm talkin bout na don't do sat shit again, scared da fuck outta me"

"I'm sorry" she rested ha head in my lap and I began playin' in ha hair.

"I got suspended"

"What?!" She asked jumpin' up.

"Calm down I beat dat niggas ass dat push ya off da bus"

"Why would ya do that Kyon you're so stupid"

"Only for you baybeh" I smiled at ha.

"Your not cute so quit it"

"I can't defend my girl?"

"Your girl?"

"Yeah ma girl, what? You you'on wanna be ma girl"
