I opened my eyes seeing that I didn't know where I was

I quickly got up but instantly regretted it because my head started pounding

I groaned in pain as I laid back down

"There's some ibuprofen next to you with a bottle of water for the head ache" I heard a familiar voice say

I got up gently this time seeing Desire sitting in the middle of the floor counting some money

"Thank you but how did I get here" I asked as I drank the pills

"I found you sloppy drunk at the club last night so I brought you back to make sure you were safe" She turned to me sending a smile

"Thank you" i smiled back

I looked around the place seeing that this wasn't the same place she took me to last time

"Where are we?" I asked

"My new home"

"Why You move?"

"Honestly because I didn't trust your word. I thought you were lying to me about not turning me in to my dad so I had to move"

"No I wouldn't do that to you especially after you told me that he beat you"

"Well I know that now. But what are you doing in the Bronx?"

What the Fuck when I get to the Bronx? I could've sworn I was in Harlem

"Honestly i don't remember"

"You need a ride back?" She asked putting the money up and turning to me

"I don't have a reason to go back to be honest"

"What about your family? Your home"

"My siblings are who knows where and my mom died a couple months back so I'm homeless"

"I'm so sorry for your loss"she said taking a seat on the air mattress next to me

"Thanks. Where's your mom?" I asked

I always hear about how her dad's looking for her and how she's scared to return because of her dad but I never hear nothing about her mom looking for her or anything

"Um she died when I was 12"

"Damn Im sorry shorty you mind me asking how?"

"Cancer"

When she said that it a spot because we're basically in the same boat because of the same reason

Cancer ripped away the most important person from our lives leaving us this in fucked up situations
