Amari POV
"No. Hell no Amari are you crazy?" Tasha yelled jumping up from my bed. "Shh! Keep it down Mariah is sleeping!" I hushed her throwing a pillow.
"Why would you even think about doing this?"
"Because. I just can't live here anymore. The longer I stay here the more bad things are gonna happen. Besides... Im not letting Jun go again." I said tracing the designs on my pillow I held in my lap.
"I get it Amari your life isn't perfect no one life is but to just up and leave. Thats not gonna solve anything girl."
I sighed nibbling at my bottom lip. I knew she would react like this. It was expected of her to be this overprotective.
"Are you pregnant?"
My eyes widen as I looked up at her like she was crazy. "No. Why you think that?" I asked.
She shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know Amari but this is crazy. What about Mariah you just gonna leave her here?"
"No. She's coming too."
Tasha looked at me with an unreadable expression on her face. She then returned to her spot on the bed. A small smile played on her face. "Look girl I get it. You think you're in love and you will do everything and anything to keep him. But girl you need to think about this."
"I have thought about this Tasha. We're leaving after prom. We're catching our train ticket and we're out of here. That's it." I said simply she just kept shaking her head. It made me kind of aggravated that my best friend wasn't being as supportive as I wanted her to be.
"Amari where are you all going to go? How will you two take care of Mariah? With what money?" she asked. I opened my mouth to speak but then quickly closed it and thought about it. Tasha raised her brow at me waiting on my answer. "I have a bank account and savings. I can easily use that."
"You mean your money towards college? No Amari your father worked hard to save that money for you."
I cut her off. "One.. That man is not my father. Two it is under my name and I do with it as I please."
She exhaled deeply I guess not knowing what else to say. "So you're willing to throw away your future.. To run off with Jun and drag Mariah right along with you."
"I'm not leaving my sister here! We're not even happy here. I rather start over and be happy than to be trapped here and keep on getting fed lies. Me and Mariah deserve better than this... Don't you think we deserve to be happy?" I said with tears threatening to fall.
She stared at me with a soft look on her face. It was quiet for moment before she sucked her teeth and groaned dramatically. "Better be glad I love you girl. That I love you enough... To let you go." she said saying the last part lowly. I looked up at her with a small smile seeing her furrow her brows at me.
I hugged her and she pretended to be mad and not hug back. "Crybaby hopeless romantic ass." she mumbled making me laugh as she finally hugged me back. "Thank you for understanding and caring" I said with my head rested on her shoulder. She sucked her teeth and softly palm smacked my forehead. "Yeah yeah. His ass better take care of you two. Or Ima send a search party for yall ass." she said and we both started laughing at her craziness.
"I love you Tasha."
"I know you do" she said and I laughed playfully rolling my eyes.
Jun POV
"Speak to her Jun." Bryson demanded me and I simply shook my head.
"Why not? She's worried about you. I don't like seeing your sister like this."
