I was lost for words. Reading that, Alana had feelings for me didn't even cross my mind. See me and Alana were friends before all the fucking came along but the thing is I never even asked for this shit to happen, she did. About two summers ago she came to me at a party, and she was a little drunk but I wasn't gonna try anything. So I took her home, so nothing would happen to her. The next day she called me and told me to come over, so I did we chilled and talked and then things got a little heated. She started touching, feeling and kissing on me. One thing lead to another and we fucked. When we was done she said she wanted it more often so it became regular/occasional thing, when we wanted it we would called each other. But I didn't know she would catch feelings for the kid. Do I care for her? Of course but not in that way. She a cool girl and one of my closest female friends but us dating would ruining our friendship. That's not really saying much seeing as though we used to fuck but you get what I'm saying.

We had pulled up to Walmart and everybody except my dad got out. While we're walking in Naya tells both my mom and I what we needed to get for dinner. Naya knew I wasn't gonna listen to her so we just walked around together while my mom went to go get the stuff that Naya needed. As we're walking I felt like I'm being watched so I turn around and saw the new girl from my JROTC class staring at me. She then looks at Naya and looks down and turns around. "I wonder what her deal is?" I said quietly. "What?" Naya said snapping me out my thoughts. "Huh nothing I wasn't talking to you. Can you just hurry up and get what you need to get so we can go?" I said. "Child you better hush cause you ain't got to eat." Once she said that I got quiet real quick. Naya might be annoying as hell sometimes but she damn sho know how to cook.

45 minutes later

We were finally on the way back to the house. When we pulled up I saw Rex truck parked in front of the house. I knew he would coming because he knew one of my cousin was gonna let it spill about them coming up here, so he got a hell of a lot of explaining to do. My dad looked in the rearview mirror to look at me. He didn't say anything but I could tell he didn't want me to leave. My dad is a over parenting parent when it comes to me. He knows I'm a troublemaker seeing as how I've gotten kick out of 3 schools already, so he really doesn't want me to go where he doesn't know what I'm doing. It's not that he doesn't trust me it's just the fact that he felt as if I would have came to live with him when I was younger I would have been a different person probably more like Naya not saying there's anything wrong with Naya I'm just not fit to be like her, that and the fact that he hates my mom. He feels she's a terrible mother and he has no problem in telling me or her that.

We pull into the garage and I grab my book bag and hop out the car before my dad had a chance to say anything and jog over to Rex's car and hop in. He then pulls off without a word. As we're riding I get a text from Naya asking me if I'll be home in time for dinner so she'll know if she should make enough for me to eat. I sent her the three dots because she already knew the answer to that question.

When we pull up to Rex's house I got out without saying a word because I didn't want to argue with him outside and cause a scene in front of his neighbors. When I get into the house I throw my bag down and turn to look at Rex and by the look in his eyes I could tell that he knew he fucked up.

Me: are you fucking insane why the fuck would you tell them to come up here!
Rex: why are you so mad for I thought having the family up here would be fun
Me: nigga I know you've been gone from us for a while now but there's one thing you need to remember about us. OUR FAMILY HAS ANGRY ISSUES WE ARE ALL WALKING I.E.D! All of us in the same school is not gonna be fun it's gonna be deadly. That's why none of us went to the same school when we were young
Rex: I didn't know Tay chill
Me: of course you didn't know cause your ass left us just like your deadbeat father did you and you didn't look back like we was some ain't shit family that didn't love you

Right when I said that I instantly regretted it. I didn't mean for that to come out I was just so upset. Because even though I have the worst temper in our family, I'm the person that's has to deal with everybody. I have to be the mediator, the therapist, the rule setter, the mature one, I have to be the bad guy to them so they won't get in trouble. I always got to look out for them and make sure they're doing the right thing and I hate it. I hate that I have to take care of everybody like I'm an adult, I'm not man. My whole life ever since I moved with them I've had to make sure that everybody did what they were suppose to do. I love my family, I do but I hate that they're childish as fuck. I just want them to grow up so I don't have to pick up after them all the time.

Rex: wow Tay that's how you feel
Me: Rex I didn't mean it like that. It's just you don't realize what you've done
Rex: Tay your the one that said you missed them
Me: of course I miss them Rex they're my family but having us in the same school is very deadly. You saw what happened the day, do you want a repeat of that?

A month before Rex had left all hell broke loose.......
