CRASH

CRASH

I jerked my head up suddenly and awoken from my nap with a slight headache.

"bubby get up did you hear it did you hear the noise,"I said shaking him aggressively.

"sshhhh Kia, be very quiet. come here," he said pulling me in closer, if that was even possible.

I began to cry as I heard heavy foot steps walk down the hall towards our room. God I know your up and I know you can hear me. My bubby, Keam, told me all about you. He said you answer all prays. God I know my mother does bad things, but she used to be a good mommy, please keep her safe. God also protect Keam he is the best big brother ever. Amen.

"Linda where's it at?"I heard an unknown voice say walking towards the room.

"Baby ion know , ill find it come on lets go," said my mother pleading.

SLAP

"no Bitch, we gone stay here until you cough up my wallet. This is the last place I had it and you on that shit so bad I know you done emptied me out," he said

"Kyle, ion have your money and I haven't seen your wallet, come on lets go this is my kids room!"

"that's right you do have kids, where are the bastards? if you cant give me my wallet ill just take something close to you," he said sternly.

Keam stood up in the closet and lifted me up on his top shelf in closet. I had did this before hiding from other men. I knew to be quiet or keam would get on to me. once I was safely up there I covered myself with some of our clothes and coats.

"Kyle no, my kids have nothing to do with this and I don't know where they are,"my mother said. I could tell she was crying.

Bitch quit lying," he replied in a harsh voice.

I could hear him checking up under our beds and I knew he was heading to closet. it opened swiftly.

"here goes one bastard where's the other one he asked, you know that pretty little girl of yours?"

"That little girl is my sister, and she isn't here she's at her friend house and if you ever touch my sister ill bust a bullet up yo ass," hollered Keam.

"I can tell ima have to straighten you out. Linda i'm taking the boy keep my wallet," stated Kyle.

"if you so much as touch me ill call the cops. In fact, said Keam pulling out his flip phone he brought from a boy at school, they're already on the way!"

I knew Keam was just faking it, because one time he told me if the police ever came here they would take mommy to jail.

"you little punk, but I cant blame you I see where you get it from," he stated harshly.

SLAP

ion know who he slapped but a couple seconds later I heard the front door slam. I didn't get out because Keam always said to wait on him. so I just prayed: God its me again, Kia, i've been a good girl and I listen to Keam. I know you sent him to be my big brother because you knew I needed to be protected, thank you for that. oh and God please let my mommy and bubby be okay I really love them. Amen suddenly the door opened and Keam told me everything was gone be okay. he helped me down and we knelt next to mommy. she's the one that got slap and her nose and mouth were bleeding.

"mommy are okay,"Keam asked.

"im good babe, has mommy ever told you that she's proud of you because I am. you are such a big boy and a great brother. I know if I ever left this world, I wouldn't have to worry about Kia becoming like me because she has you," she said tearing up.

"I love you mommy," said Keam standing up and walking off.

I just laid on my mommy and cried I know she loves us she don't mean to the bad things to hurt us. "mommy I love you and I'm glad you're okay, and I know you love me and bubby."

"yes Kia, mommy loves you and Keam very much, Mommy is going to get better yall just pray for mommy.And Kia you always listen to Keam okay? he will never mislead you," she said kissing my head.

" I know mommy I do," I told her

Minutes later Keam returned with 2 moist rags and a frozen steak. I held onto my mother as she cried; while Keam cleaned her up.
