Zoie
"We can't see each other anymore." James said standing in my living room. "Why not? Because you slipped up and got caught? But you said you was leaving her anyway so why does it matter?" I folded my arms and looked at him. "I know what I said Zoie. But I can't break up my family." He took a step toward me and I took one back. "So you lied to me. And you want to just cut me off like ain't nothing never happen? Is that it? That's NOT how it's about to go down. You got me fucked up James." I said pushing his chest. "I understand that you're mad." "Mad?? Mad is an understatement. You played the fuck out of me James and if you think imma let you get away with that? You dead ass wrong. Get out of my house." I said walking to the front door and opening it. He shook his head and walked out. I'm so mad that I'm seeing red right now. I sat down at the kitchen table and I cried real hard. I was busy crying when my stepdad walked in the house, so I didn't hear him. "Zoie? What's the matter?" He came rushing in the kitchen up to me. "I have to confess something to you daddy." I say and he looked crazy as he sat down and grabbed my hand. "You can tell me anything honey." He said. I looked up into his eyes and he could see that mine was blood red. "Those panties that ms Carolyn found, they were mine. When I...when I went to stay the night over there... Mr. James ...he um..." I let my words trail off as I could see the fire raging up within him. "Did he touch you Zoie?" He asked in a cold voice. I nodded my head and begin to cry harder. "That son of a bitch!" He yelled getting up from the table and grabbing his gun. "Daddy no! Don't shoot him." I screamed. "Stay here." He ordered and marched out of the door. I couldn't help but come outside as he approached James who was standing in the yard. My stepdad hit James in the face with the gun and when he fell, got on top of him and punched him repeatedly. Carolyn ran outside screaming stop and I ran across the street to get my stepdad off of him. "You sexual predator!! I trusted you with my daughter and you betray me by raping her?! You going to jail today bitch!" My stepdad yelled kicking James in the stomach before letting me pull him off. I secretly smiled in my head as Carolyn helped James get up off of the ground. Pretty sound you could hear police sirens as they pulled across the street. "Zoie. The police are gonna wanna take your statement." My stepdad said, grabbing my hand and walking outside with me. A cop was busy putting James in a car as Alexia and Carolyn looked on. "Can you tell me what happened? I know this is hard but we need your statement to help convict him." The police said. "I had been going over there a while now because I'm friends with his daughter and one night, he came up to me and told me how pretty I was and how he wanted to be inside me. I..I told him no and he..he told me I didn't have a choice. He duct taped my mouth so I wouldn't scream and he..he... I'm sorry I can't do this." I cried running off. The police were looking sympathetic as I went back in the house and closed the door."did that man really rape you? Or you fucked him and he pissed you off? Probably told you he was gonna leave his wife or some shit right?" My mom walked up to me. "I did not fuck that man!! He is a grown ass man! He violated me and you're going to come at me!! I'm your fucking daughter!!!" I screamed getting up and going into my room. How dare she?
