Life Still Goes On

Chapter 4 ✨

Jeremy

I had just clock out from work . I walked outside and I seen Chanelle car . I thought she woulda left by now ? I looked in there and seen that nobody was in there . I got in my car and tried to find her . I seen her walking down the street . I pulled up beside her and stopped . she looked over at the car , she looked like she was scared . that's when she started walking a lil faster . That's when I started back moving she looked back then took off running . That's when I picked up the pace .

She ran down an alley . I must really scared her cause you don't suppose to got down no alley at 12 o'clock in he morning . How I know ? Because imma thug and a drug lord . & I know y'all probably wondering why I'm working at Footlocker if I'm a drug lord . Well I'm tryna get extra money saved up cause I got plans in the future . I parked my car on the side of the road and got out . I walked down the alley I seen her running . Still . She kept looking back and I know she was looking for me . She turned back around and fell . I heard her crying a lil bit and she cussed .

That's when I started feeling bad . I should've just rolled down the window and told her it was me . But I was being a dumbass . I walked up to her and picked her up . She started screaming and kicking . I put my hand over her mouth cause ian want nobody calling the cops . She bit my hand

" Ouch ! " I whisper yell

" Put me down please ? " She asked crying I put her down but lightly grabbed her wrist before she ran off

" Stop . it's me Jeremy . I didn't see you in yo car so I came looking for you "

" You scared the hell outta me ! " She punched my chest , damn she got them hands " & my knee is messed up because of you ! you dumbass ! " She yelled

" I'm sorry & I can take care of that juss c'mon " I grabbed her hand leading her to my red lambo . I opened the door for her , she got in and put on her seatbelt .

I got in and started the car driving to my house . the car ride was silent the whole time she was looking out the window

30 minutes later

We pulled up to my gated house . I put in the code and drove through .

" Wow " she whispered in amazement

" Pretty big huh ? " I smiled she nodded

I pulled into the garage and turned the car off . I opened the door and I looked back she was just sitting there

" You getting out or nah ? " I asked getting out she got out . I unlocked the door to house and walked in

" You live here ? " She asked limping in the house I nodded " by yourself ? " I nodded again

" C'mon follow me " I said grabbing her hand walking upstairs

We walked upstairs and to a bathroom . I picked her up and gently put her on top of the sink .

" What are you doing ? " She asked

" Fixing your knee "

" Oh "

I rolled up her pant leg and her knee was covered with blood . I looked under the sink and got the first aid kit . I opened in and got a cotton ball , cream , some cut stuff that's gone burn and a band aid . I got a cotton ball and put some liquid on it i looked up at her .

" this is gonna burn so you might wanna bite down on this " I said handing her a towel

She put her mouth on it and nodded her head . telling me she's ready . I put cotton ball on her knee

" Mmmm " she mumbled through the towel closing her eyes

I wiped the cut and put cream on it then the band aid . I picked her up bridal style and walked down stairs sitting her on the couch .

" Are you thirsty ? " She shook her head no

I walked into the kitchen and got her a bottle of water . I heard her cuss and said he's going to kill me

I walked back in the living room " who ? " I asked

" Umm nobody .. can you take me home ? "

" C'mon " I said grabbing my keys

In the car

I turned up the radio cause it was too quiet in here Loyal - by Chris Brown was playing I heard her humming to the song

She gave me the directions to her house and I pulled up in front of it . I seen a man sitting outside like he was waiting on her . He looked like he was her dad .

" Thanks " she got out I sat there till she got to the door that's when I pulled off .

Why was he looking at her like that ? If looks could kill , she would be dead .

Chanelle

After he left my dad got up and slapped me

" Where were you ? " He asked through his gritted teeth

" My car wasn't starting so he gave me--- " I was cut off with a blow

" Bullshit ! " he yelled " go to yo room ! " He pushed me in the house

I caught my balance and ran to my room crying myself to sleep

I hate my life ..
