Yasmine
I got out the shower and put on my black tube top, black Calvin Klein boy shorts, and black nike leggings. I decided to cook dinner this time instead of ordering take out since I did just go to the gym. I pulled out some shrimp, chicken, some kielbasa sausage, red peppers and some rice to make some jambalaya. I started cutting up all the ingredients and ran to get my phone as I heard it ringing.

"Hello" I said going back to the kitchen.

Yasmine...I didn't know who else to call that wouldn't judge me...please I need you to come get me. Raelynn sinffled through the phone.

"Raelynn where are you?" I turned off the burners and covered up the food sliding on my jacket and slides.

I'm...I'm in this alley on 110th street. She continued to sniffle.

"Okay stay on the phone with me I'm on my way and please do not leave that alley unless you absolutely have to." I ran down to my truck and started it up pulling off.

Okay please hurry I'm scared. She whispered.

"I'm going as fast as I can I should be there in ten minutes."

I started to speed up and luckily I didn't get any red lights. I approached the street and stopped at a stop sign.

"Raelynn are you on the left or the right side of the street?" I slowed down.

The left. She stuttered.

"Okay come out of the alley you'll see my red jeep." I slowed down and seen her come out of the alley a couple feet ahead of me.

She ran to the car and got in and I drove off.

"Raelynn what happened to you?" I stopped at a red light and looked over at her face.

She had dried up snot and tears on her face, and her left cheek looked swollen. Her shirt was ripped and she had a bloody lip.

I was out with Jason and we went to his friends house and they were drinking and smoking and I was just minding my business. One of his friends started touching up on me and I kept trying to push him off of me. Jason had went to the store and came back and seen him on me and accused me of trying to push up on him. He started hitting on me Yasmine and yanking me and his friends tried to stop him but then he slapped me and I ran out the house and ended up in the alley. I was so scared because we were already in a bad neighborhood and Momma at work and I didn't wanna call Rakim.

We pulled up to my house and I pulled her close to me as we walked in. I gave her stuff to shower and get dressed in and I finished cooking. She came out and sat on my couch with her knees in her chest. I sat next to her and she laid her head in my lap.

Thank you so much for coming to get me. She started to cry again.

"Don't hesitate to call me ever I don't care what you need. I think you need to tell your brother what happened or I'll talk to him for you." I rubbed her head as silence filled the room for a few minutes.

Yasmine...I think I'm pregnant. She said and I hesitated to talk.

"Why, have you been experiencing symptoms?"

No my period is late and it's been late for about two weeks now. I don't want him to be the father to my child I don't even want to be pregnant. He just beat me over something he knew nothing about but I refuse to get an abortion.

"Well we can go buy some test and see what they say and go from there."

Please don't tell Rakim when you talk to him or anybody please.
