33: Its Home Alone Replay

Diamond POV

Shivers crept up my spine as I narrated everything that happened this mornin' to Taffy.
  "You mean, he was ready to...LAWWD!" Her eyes widen as I nodded.

  "That man is such a disgustin' jerk! You mean he tried to force his random ass on yo' and you couldn't yell out?" She demanded angrily.
  "For heavens sake Taf, you know ma would have just supported him. You know how he's got her wrapped around his finger". I replied sadly.

Taffy looked both speechless and angry. She came over to my side and hugged me.
  "This all freakin' too much for you sis...I...I...wish I could just let all this goddamn shit go away!" She said angrily stompin' her foot.

I hugged her tight before pullin' away.
  "I guess...its my fate." I sighed wipin' my tears.
  "Certainly not. That bullshit nigga needs to get laid. He's tryna take advantage o' you and you sayin' it fuckin' fate?! Hell no sweetheart!"

She rubbed her forehead calmin' herself down. I could see her eyes had darken in rage.
  "Well, I've thought 'bout it all and I think imma get the hell out of that house. Am gon' save ma ass to the very bit to rent an apartment. Am movin' out and I swear this time around there gon' be a change of mind". I gritted talkin'.

Taffy sighed happily at the idea.
  "Even if there gonna be some motherfucker who's gon' change yo' mind I'd throw you out maself". I chuckled lightly blinkin' back ma tears.

This time, I mean what I say. I want a better future for ma baby and sister. I know when we move out, its gon' be hella hard buh we gon' be happy. Free from oppression.

Free from maltreatment. Free from pain, hurt and anguish.

Most of all, free from sexual harrasment.

Leavin' the house would mean, I'd never see mama maltreats again, I'll never get scared of gettin' beaten or yelled at.

And I'll never get to see that beast in my life. Frank!

The thought of all this made me both happy and angry, determined the more to run away. Its gon' take a while, buh am prepared to do it. For the mean time, all I gotta do is stay the hell away from Frank and always be careful and watchful.

  "Its gon' take a while to get that kinda money to rent an apartment and durin' those whiles that...maniac would try something shitty". Taffy became worried.
  "Yeah I know. The best we can do now is becareful and watchful."

  "We'd lock our rooms and stay the hell away from him." I replied puttin' on my apron.
  "You get me Taf?" I glanced at her and she had this mischievous grin on her face. I raised a brow.

  "What's goin' through that brain of yours?'' I asked playfully smackin' the back of her head.
  "I was thinkin' maybe it should be payback time". She said smilin'. I was confused.
  "Are you tryna kill Frank?" I joked.
  "Babe, I would've done that a long time if it weren't for a prison''.

  "Still single and nah yet in college". I shook ma head a little relieved that she wasn't thinkin' murderous. Believe me when I say Taffy could be dangerous sometimes.

  "So what's gotchu grinnin'?" I asked tyin' ma hair up into a ponytail.
  "You Daya, murder ain't the only thing to payback an asshole like Frank. You remember home alone?" She asked still with that grin.

  "Yes" I replied slowly till in the dark.
  "Well, its home alone replay sis".
  "What da hell are you drivin' at?"
  "Don't be so freakin' dense gurl. All am sayin' is, we gon' set a few traps for him makin' him fall for it buh he's only gon' get fried when he's in the trap. Just like how Kevin dealt with Marv and Harry durin' Christmas eve". She giggled.
