Broken

Chapter 4

Creed's POV
I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now, this shit was crazy. "Cassie why didn't you tell me, oh lord this is all my fault!" Her grandmother cried.

"Where that nigga at?"

"Creed calm down please I just wanna get out of here before he gets back" Cassie cried.

"Nah fuck that! I told you he gone have to pay"

"Lord have mercy on my soul! What did I do to deserve this?! It's all my fault"

"What did you do, shit never happened to you it all was me! Grams it's not your fault so just forget it!"

"Yeah it's all your fault! Prancing around in your little skimpy clothes so full of yourself! Someone needed to tame your ass! My grandson did nothing to you!" I snapped my neck with wide eyes still not believing what I was hearing. Watching Cassie stand their shocked at what came out her mouth, storming to her room. I'm not understanding your brother is someone who is suppose to love and protect you before anybody, yet he's doing this shit! This is unbelievable I don't care if that nigga is blood what he did is nasty! Like who does this to their own sister? This nigga must be out of his mind and so is my aunt I'm not understanding why she's taking up for him, she's not even worried about Cassie. I couldn't even talk at this moment I was so heated so I just clenched my jaw feeling so bad for Cassie. I walked in her room to her mumbling to herself packing everything she owned, one thing about Cassie is she never cried. She just held everything in until she reached her breaking point.

"I don't want to talk about it I just want to get out of here please I can't see his face" she said. I knew nothing I said could comfort her at this point so I just helped her packed and took everything out to my car. I waited a few minutes until Cassie came out with her hood covering her face sinking into the car seat. "Listen I don't know how but we are going to get through this okay? Imma be here for you every step of the way. The guest room is yours for however long you need it, my mom won't mind because she's never home." She just shook her head looking defeated.

Next day
Cassie
I stood there in the mirror looking at myself, I knew I shouldn't be going to school so soon, but I didn't want to miss any work, it's my senior year anyway it'll be over before I know it. Shit happens to people in life and they just have to get over it, no I'm not over it but I will be I can't just keep dawning on the pass. I have to suck it up like a big girl and get over it. I'm not going to lie and say I'm not hurting in the inside right now but fuck it, I feel like no one cares so I have to just get over it. Creeds mother, Joyce agreed I should stay with them for a while, so I had all that figured out. She knows what went down and she was so angry, but I wouldn't let her say anything to my grandmother. Creeds horn broke me out of my thoughts causing me to run out the bathroom and into to his car.

"You okay?" He asked I just responded with a nod not really knowing what to say.

"Cass, look at me" he said lowly, I turned to him and faked a smile. Inside I was hurting but I couldn't let it show or tell anyone, they wouldn't understand. Being defeated he just rode in silence the rest of the way to school. When we arrived he came around to my side and opened it up, he walked me to my locker and to my first period; and honestly it was irritating me, I didn't need a body guard! But I couldn't tell him that knowing he would feel bad, so I just went along with it for the rest of the day. It was 3:35 and I was still waiting for Creed to come out of his last class, then out of no where my phone started ringing, I noticed it was Jason calling and smiled. I needed a breath of fresh air. Before answering I adjusted my face in the camera and smiled.

"Hey boo why you haven't text me back since that day?" He asked sadly. "I'm sorry I've just been so busy la-" I was cut off by Creeds deep voice asking who I was talking to, I didn't even noticing him coming out. "My nigga who the fuck are you? My neice only a child" he said putting his face in the camera. I snatched it back putting the phone on mute, your so embarrassing yo, I just hung up I would talk to him later, while I was ALONE. I rolled my eyes and got in his car, man I love Creed but sometimes he could just be too much.
