Once in the house I'm approached by my mom.

"Why can't you get along with anyone".

"I can I just choose not to, especially not to any of these lames" .

"Ok you gone learn sooner or later that your attitude is going to have you lonely and miserable".

"Well I guess I will find out later cause as of now I'm neither lonely or miserable" .

Just as I let them words come out of my mouth, she reached toward me and slapped me in my mouth.

"Don't forget who you talking to boy I'm still yo momma" .

I looked at her wanting to slap her back cause she never put her hands on my face. I just swallowed my pride and walked down to my room slamming the door. I looked around my room landing my eyes on the labeled boxes of my stuff. I started taking my clothes out of the box and hanging them in my closet. I emptied three boxes of my clothes that were all new. Once I finished that I grab the little box that had my sheets and some curtains in it, I began hanging the curtain up by my sliding glass door until I saw someone sitting down by the pond that was behind the row of townhouses. I slide the door open walking out until I can see that whoever it was turned around looking in my direction. As I walk closer I hear that the person was crying.

"You ok"? I asked.

"What does it matter to you"? The female voice replied.

I walk closer standing behind her. She turned back to me then back toward the water as she just sat there crying.

"Leave me alone please".

"I just wanted to see if you were ok, that's all". "Your name is Jasmine right".

"Yea, and how do you know my name"?

"My neighbor T, told me, I saw you outside when the police were here".

"Oh did you enjoy the show, I'm quit sure everyone did".

"No it wasn't like that, I hate cops and the fucking justice system".

"You too, well join the millions of others that do".

"Well I'm Dre,  I just moved in next door to you".

"I know I saw you earlier, you and that women, I'm assuming your mom, moving stuff in".

"Yea that's my mom, but if you don't mind me asking why are you sitting out here alone" .

"Well I'm not alone anymore, thanks to you, and I just don't want to be in the house right now".

"Why not it's too late for you to be out here".

"I could say the same thing to you but your out here".

"True", I replied as I take a seat next to her.

"Look I don't need you to be my knight in shinning armor, I'm ok by myself" .

"Well I'm not trying to be that I just don't want to be in my house either" .

"Why I'm quite sure you couldn't possibly have anything going wrong in your house" .

"Well first I don't want to be here and two my mom's just pissed me off, all over that punk ass boy T".

"Haha, that's nothing try having your brother get sent off to jail cause he was defending his mother and sister from a abusive deadbeat ass stepfather. Then to make matters worse your mom is the one who called the cops cause she doesn't want to lose her fucking husband" .

I just sat there as she spilled all of her emotions out. I assured her that she would be good and that he brother will be good. We sat there for a few more hours just talking about her as she laid her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around her as she began to cry again out of frustration,  I then told her that if she didn't want to go into her house for the night that she could come crash in my room. She agreed after I informed her that I didn't have anything to lay on, just some blankets and pillows. 

What do you think about Dre softer side, or is it just an act.  What was Jasmine brother and stepdad fighting about? Is it a good idea for Jasmine to sleep over Dre house?
