His facial expression is just contagious 😍😍😩.

Kimberly ❤️

I found myself in Odell's room. This is my chance to actually hang with him and talk to him.

"Tell me what's been going on baby girl." He said, laying on his elbow on the bed.

"Nothing much, just been hanging with Dak and them; what I love to do best." I say, sitting cris-cross on the bed.

He held his chest in mock hurt.

"Not like that. I love hanging out with you too." I say, giggling.

He smiled afterwards.

"You know grandma and grandpa miss you right?" He said.

"I know." I say, sadly.

"They want you to visit. Or possibly come live with them." He said.

"Odell, you know I can't do that." I say.

"Why not?" He asked.

"If they know I'm back, I'm dead for sure." I say.

He looked down, as he plays with the case on his phone.

"I'm sorry." I say.

He looked back up at me, sighing before talking.

"Your mom came by the house." He said.

"What for?" I say.

"She was looking for you." He said.

"Mhm." I say.

"Kay...did you know she was in Houston?" He said.

My stomach flipped.

"Houston as in...Houston, T-Texas?" I ask.

He nods.

"Mind you, she left before you did." He said.

"Shit." I say, gripping my hair.

"What happened?" He said.

"If she's in that area, then my father must be there looking for her. He came looking for her...but instead, found me." I say.

"Wait, he found you?" He said.

"They found me. And you already know about the Jason situation." I say.

"Yeah I know about that. But I did not know they found you. All of them." He said.

I nod.

"Damn Kay. I'm sorry." He said.

"I just wish this could be over. They could magically just disappear." I say.

He nods in agreement.

"Promise me something." He said.

"What?" I say.

"Don't give up this fight. Fight until you can't anymore." He said.

"What do you mean?" I say.

"Kill them." He said.

"You know, you're the second one to tell me that." I say.

"Of course. Because I hate seeing you suffer. You deserve to live your life the way you want to. Fuck what everyone else says/thinks. It's all you." He said.

I nod.

"Alright. My mom wants to go out. So..." He said, trailing off.

I nod again. After another 5 minutes, I was headed back to my room.
