California Dreamin' (August Alsina)

Waves

Jordyn
3 AM- I woke up screaming, covered in sweat and breathing heavy from crying. Diana came running up the stairs.

"What happened? Are you okay?" She said looking concerned.

"It was just a nightmare. I'm sorry. You can go back to bed."

"There's no need to be sorry honey. You wanna talk about it?" She said sitting down on the bed. I shook my head no and the tears started swelling up again. I missed my mommy. I just wanted to be in her arms and wanted her to tell me that everything was alright. I just wanted her to tell me that everything was going to be okay. I wanted her o tell me that she loved me. I wanted her to tell me that the storm will be over in a little while. I would never hear the angelic voice of my mother's voice again. All because of that low down dirty bastard. He's done nothing but terrorize my mom, brother, and me. He's ruined my life and he was about to ruin Justin's. I was in shock but all the feelings are rushing in now. I don't know if I can deal with it. I soon felt myself drift off into sleep again and I felt the dip in the bed cone up. It felt like 5 minutes later but the sun had already started rising when i heard a noise from my window. I woke up and heard the noise again. I ran to my window then I saw August.

"Hey July. What are you doing here?" I said wiping the sleep from my eyes talking with a raspy throat. I could only imagine what I look like.

"Yo. It's Gordon. I gotta talk ta ya." He said.

"It's like 5am you couldn't have waited?" I said irritated.

"Nah ma, this shits important." He said with a stern face.

"Alright. I'll let you in. I'll be down there in 3 seconds." I closed the window and crept down the stairs. I let August in and he looked like he was about to talk so I shushed him. We snuck into the room and I closed the door.

"Listen here. I'm trusting you in this house. In this room. Please be honorable and don't take anything. I'll be back in a few minutes." I said.

"Where you going?" He said as he grabbed my wrist. I flinched and as soon as he noticed he let go.

"I need to go brush my teeth. I'll be back." I walked out and closed my door back and went to brush my teeth and wash my face. I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and walked back out. I checked on Justin who was snoring and had the covers all over the place. I closed his door back and crept back to my room. I saw August sitting in the same place as where I left him.

"So? What's so important that it couldn't wait a few more hours?" I said, tapping my foot.

"I think you would take this betta if ya sat down." He said. I look confused but I sat down next to him on the bed. "I don't really know how ta tell ya this but thea is a person in this house who is-"

"Um excuse me! WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?! JORDYN WHO IS THIS?!" Diana came in storming.

"He's just a friend. He needed comfort. His um dad passed away and we had something in common so he wanted to come talk to me about it. He said it couldn't wait because he was depressed." I said looking at August.

"Get the hell out of my house. NOW!" Diana said yelling. August was scrambling hisself and then he got out. I stood there glaring at Diana as she glared back at me.

"If you EVER think about pulling some shit like this again, you can leave my house." Diana said.

"Gladly." I started packing as she grabbed my wrist and I snatched back. She smacked me and I stood there. Then I heard Justin's innocent voice.

"Naye? What's wrong? Why you cryin?"  I started packing again and this time i did it quicker. I hadn't had much to pack. So, I got me and Justin's things together in less than 5 minutes. I picked up Justin on my back and I rolled the two suitcases out of the house. Just then I hear Diana running.

"Oh Jordyn. I'm so sorry. Please don't leave me. I didn't mean anything I said in there. I really do love you and I didn't mean to hurt you." She said sobbing.

"Rot in hell." I said with a straight face and I kept walking. I suddenly felt a sharp "ping" hit my head. I felt dizzy then everything went black. I felt my body being dragged but I couldn't get up and defend myself. It was like I was paralyzed. I couldn't open my eyes or my mouth.
Justin! JUSTIN! Are you okay? Where are you? Oh my gosh. God, please let me make it through this. I know I only talk to you when I'm in need but I really need your help. I need to get out of here. I need me and Justin to get out of here safely. Please help me Lord Jesus. Amen.
Then there was pain. Sharp, cutting pain.
