Dangerous Curves (UNDER RECONSTRUCTION)

Chapter 12

Jolié POV

This Forever dude, I was really feeling him. I loved how respectful he was. The fact that he didn't want me to walk home, gave me a warm feeling inside, I must admit I was kinda comfortable around him. He volunteered to drive me home, but there's no way I was gone tell him exactly where I lived. So, he dropped me off a couple of blocks from where I exactly stayed. I thanked him for the thousandths time and he drove off.

"Ugh back to this hell hole" I thought out loud.

It was almost midnight , on my way up the stairs I prayed my mom wasn't home. I knew she was gone trip. I was super tired and didn't have the strength to argue with her over something so petty. I unlocked the door and from the scent of cigarettes I automatically knew she was here. I took a deep breath. Woosa woosa. I tip toed the best way I could to my room, my heavy ass feet made it hard to keep quiet.

"Where yo fast ass been?"

Shit.

"Look ma, I'm tired I'll explain everything in the morning, just please" I pleaded.

"Oh so you think you can come in my house this time of night, and think it's okay, disrespecting me? I'm your momma" she said raising her voice and hand at me.

This lady had a belt like she was gone do something? And before I could redeem myself she whipped me across the face with. I forcefully rammed her into the wall keeping her from hitting me again.

"Have you lost you fucking mind, woman?" I screamed to the top of my lungs.

"You think you grown, huh? Ima show you who grown" she argue back.

She struggled to get loose but there's no way, I was gone let her hit me again. This would of been the day I actually hit my mother, lord knows I didn't want to but if it came down to it, I would of had to handle my business. I let her go and ran straight to my room, avoiding that situation. All I wanted to do was take a nice hot shower and get some rest but no she wants to get all rowdy. I wasn't having this shit.

"She think she can hit me? Me? I'M getting sick of this bullshit" I said packing some clothes, I wasn't going to sleep in the same house with her, she got me fucked up.

"Open this damn door" she banged.

I ignored her, she was really losing it and I'll be damn if I stayed and watched this. I looked in the mirror, noticing the mark she left on my face, I just burst into tears. This is just too much for one girl. When everything began to settle down, I made my way to the door, i didn't know where I was going but I was getting the fuck out of here.

"Yeah get the fuck out" my mother said pointing to the door.

"You don't have to worry about me no more" I explained "oh and before you accuse shit make sure you know wassup, my best friend was rape and you wanna act like a fucking monkey!" I stormed out without looking back. I hope she felt stupid.

Argggggggh!

I sat at the bus stop, trying to get myself thought together. I really didn't have no place to go, I began to panic. People was looking at me weird. I didn't have any family and my only choice right now was Forever. My heart was beating 100 mph and I was shaking as I dial his number.

"Hello?" He answered , the sound of his voice calmed me down just a tad bit.

"Forever, I'm really really sorry to wake you, but the devil and I just got into it bad and I need a place to crash, i promise I'll pay you, just please" I begged.

"Okay okay, just calm down, where you at?"

"21st and 7 ave"

"Alright, I'm on my way just stay put ma" he hung up.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." Prayer was my only option

It was chilly outside, and when Forever pulled up I was relieved.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay now"

We drove off into the distance and I fell asleep before we arrived to his apartment.

I felt a slight tap on my shoulder "Jolié? We here" he smiled waking me up.

I got out the car and followed his lead. I was amaze at his apartment. It was well put together. He must be a dope dealer I thought.

"Where yo parents?" I wondered.

"I'm 19 I think I'm old enough to live on my own" he smiled, I couldn't resist his smile , I completely forgot about what happen back at my crib.

"Really? That's what up" I smiled back.

"Did you know you have a beautiful smile?" He came closing.

"N-n-no" I stuttered, lowering my head.

"Why you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Put your head down, whenever I give you a compliment because I'm not just saying that, ya know?"

I was blanked , I didn't know how to respond.

"Um? Do you mind if I use your shower, i haven't bathe since you know what?"

"Yeah go ahead, it wouldn't hurt" he joked.

"I see you got jokes, huh?" I went along with it , I mean it was some kind of joy plus I knew he didn't mean it or did he?

The world was lifted off my shower after the soothing shower I took. I could tell forever was waiting on me. He own a Chinese futon , it was already for me to lay on. I thought that was so sweet.

"I got a bunch of movies in that case over there" he scratched his head "you welcome to anything in refrigerator expect my powerades, I'm busting heads bout those,but yeah" he walked off.

"Wait!" I stopped him.

"What's up?"

"I just really need someone to talk to"

"Okay, I'm all ears"

Basically I told him about me and mothers relationship, and what happen a couple of hours ago. How hard I try to please her and make her proud of me. But it seems I'm invisible to her, I honestly felt she didn't love me. I was just her mental punching bag. Tiny tears slid down my plumped face, and he gently wipe them.

"The best thing to do is stay prayed up, ya feel? Most important be strong, then no nigga or bitch can bring you down" he gave me some wise words and I took them in consideration.

"Hold me,please?" And he did.

In the first time in my life I felt safe. I wonder how it feels to have a father? For him to hold his little girl protecting her all evil. I reckon this is how it felt, and I loved it.
