Protect Me

Separate chapter 12

When I woke up everyone was surrounding me. I looked up to Michelle hoping she'd tell me what's going on.

"Um.. can someone inform me of what's going on?"

"Kia, Mr. green and I would like to talk to you privately, are you okay with that?" asked Mrs. Green.

"No disrespect ma'am, but if it's not about Keam ion wanna hear it, is he okay, I need to go back and check on him!" I said getting out of bed.

"Michelle..Michael, y'all go downstairs while we talk to Kia," said Mr. Green closing the door behind them.

"Kia," began Mrs. Green. "We tried to fight for you and Keam to be together. Keam isn't doing good at all, although you managed to get him to move; which caused the beeping, he still isn't responding. Kia you've grown on us, and I'm sorry we can't keep you," explained Mrs. Green.

"What are you talking about, I have my own home And my own family. Keam is my family!"

"Kia there is no one to take care of you and Keam, the court ruled for y'all to have a social worker after they found out about the death of y'all mother," said Mrs. Green.

"I don't understand, are we moving? me and Keam don't have family we just have each other!"

"Well yea baby y'all are. The social worker is on the way to pick you up. we tried to get you and Keam in the same home, but we don't even know if Keam gone make it!"

"How dare you say that! AND SEPARATE US!!! No one is coming for me I'm going to save my brother y'all can doubt God, but I know he'll save my brother."

I didn't feel the tears running down my face until I was out the house. I ran, I ran until I couldn't run any more. I was on my way to the hospital. I had to save Keam I had to tell him they were trying to separate us, break our family up.

I know the Green family was out looking for me so I was careful to stay out the road. I don't know where the hospital is, but I'm not gone stop until I find it.

*Later On*

I don't know what time it is but I'm cold and hungry. I don't know where I'm going but I need sleep my eyes are getting heavier.

"Aye"

I heard some one yelling so I turned around.

"Aye, you too young to be out here at 1 o'clock, where are you headed?"

"Um... yea and I know I'm looking for the hospital, that's where my family is located."

"Well my name is Lyric, and baby girl you're headed in wrong way, but I have a car I could drop you off if you like!"

"Yea thanks I would like that, I'm Kia," I said extending my arm out to her.

"Nice to meet you, come on!"

Lyric was really nice to me. on the way to the hospital she stopped by McDonalds and brought me something to eat. she even offered to take me up, but I told her no thanks I knew the way.

Once inside the hospital I took the route Mrs. Green showed me. when I got to room 321 I stopped. A lady was following me.

"Ma'am how did you get in here? Visiting hours are over!"

"I know ma'am but I really need to tell my brother something."

"Wait.... what's your name?"

"I'm Kia"

"Yes we are supposed to be on the look out for you go in."

And with that I quickly walked in and started crying.

"Bubby I know you can hear me I have to tell you something. You have to wake up we have to get out of here, they're trying to separate us. Please Bubby you're all I got."

After no response all I could do was cry. Mintutes later the door swung open and 2 cops and a lady came in.

"Hey Kia I'm Mrs. Eboni but you can call Mrs. EB I'm your social worker."

"So, you're coming to take me away from my brother, why would you separate us?"

"Listen, I've tried to keep y'all together, all the foster homes that accepts boys and girls together are filled. There is only rooms for boys in the boys foster home."

"So where do I go?" I asked breaking down in more tears.

"Kia baby I'm sorry but If it makes you feel any better we found a nice foster home outside of Detroit!"

"Noooo, that wouldn't make me feel any better I'm not going I'm not Leaving Keam. GET OUT!!!!"

I was beyond furious at this point. Mrs. EB kept trying to talk to me, but she was just making it worse.

"Miss. Kia you can leave with Mrs. EB or we can carry out, either way you have to go, court orders!" said one of the officers.

I kissed Keam forehead, I knew I was leaving because they were stronger than me. I also knew Keam was gone be okay and he'd come get me because he's me protector.

"There is no way I'm walking out on Keam, you're just going to have to force me away."

And with that I was being carried away against my will from my life, my family, my happiness.
