Can Hurt Heal

chapter thirty-seven

LaNyiah

I woke up with my sister next to me. I kissed her forehead then stood slowly to get up and relieve my bladder and brush my teeth. My favorite song was playing, guess someone left the radio on knowing most times I go to sleep with it. After doing my hygiene I took regular Advil for my head, because my prescription knocks me out and today I was going back to campus. I needed to do it for me. I woke Nia once I was dressed.

"Pineapple, hey pineapples, get up babe. School time." I said while shaking her. "Man what?" she said turning over pulling the covers up more
"Getcha ass up!" I said louder slapping her on her ass. She hates it but it works when she don't want move.

I quickly walked out the room and down the stairs, and went in the kitchen. I didn't really wanna eat but I needed to put something on my stomach, with all these meds. I ate an apple but it didn't taste right so grab a blueberry pop tart, that was life, and a Dr Pepper and was walking out the door, till Jay ass came outta no where.

"Good morning beautiful where you going?" he said hugging me from the back. I honestly feel some type of way about yesterday, but my nerves are already trying me so I won't argue.

"To school. I gotta turn in all my grades in case they didn't keep up when I did them online, and I'm going to class." I said turning looking at him watching his face turn into a mean mug. I let him go pushing him off me.

'I don't have time today Jesus.' Nae thought.

"So we gone ignore you being sick yesterday, and last night?" Jay commented.

'See told ya.' Nae thought.

"Hell yes. I feel fine, I had already planned on starting back today, and that's that." I said crossing my arms. "Nah, you not going. Go hop ya lil sexy thick ass back up in that bed." Jay replied as I kissed my teeth; rolled my eyes; grabbed my book bag as I walked away.

"AYE BRING YOUR ASS BACK HERE! "Jay yelled because I walked my ass right out the door. I turned around because I really wanna slap the fire out his ass. "Nigga count to ten, and think about who the fuck you hollering at. You know what, I will not be late for class arguing with your ass, so how about you stand ya ass right here, and talk to your damn self." I said walking to my car and getting in.

When I pulled out the gate he was screaming at the sky like a crazy person. I really wanted Taco Bell, but I don't eat their breakfast, so I went to McDonald's instead, I'll get Taco Bell for lunch. Even if it doesn't stay down I still be wanting it. After getting my food I headed to school eating. Once I was done I felt better. I was coaching myself as I got closer to the school.

'He can't hurt you. He won't hurt you again. You're safe at school' I kept saying to myself over and over again in my head.

I parked and got out. I was doing good until I got near the library. I had to stop and breath and swallow a couple times to calm my stomach. Everything I had eaten was threatening to come up. I breathed in and out. I went to a happy thought of when I was little like eleven years old. My mom put me in softball. She was there cheering me on as I hit the ball twice at the pitcher and made her cry, because she had stroked everyone else out. My mama was really an amazing woman and even more amazing to love a child she didn't push out nor carried.
