Can't Help What The Heart Wants

Hi I'm Nevaeh Grey, I'm sixteen years old and I live in New Orleans. I live with my mom Giselle and my step dad Marcus. They been together since they was in high school and they're in there 30's. I have a little sister name Naveena and she's a cutie pie. Some say you can never find love in New Orleans but at least my mom found it. My step dad is in the military and my mom is a lawyer. They make a lot of money and love their jobs as different than the love each other but love each other even more. My real dad raped me when I was younger and was arrested. I haven't trust nobody since than. Yeah, I had boyfriends here and there but they can never live up to my expectations. I may have certain standards but damn I'm only human. I want a guy that thinks the same as me. Who can make me smile and laugh and cry after we make love. Who can just spoil the hell out of me when I don't even ask or need to be. Is that too much to ask, no it's not but reality....  yes it is.

I get home with my friend James walking me home. "Seriously we have to go out somewhere together, " he said and I laugh. James and I been friends since the first grade. We shared animal crackers and that's what got the friendship started. "Why James I don't like parties you know the shit, " I said and he smirked. "True, " he said wrapping his arms around me. We get to my house and we say our goodbyes. I get in and Naveena runs straight towards me. "Nevaeh you home, " she said and I laughed. "Yeah I'm home where's mommy and Marcus munchkin, " I asked and she shrugged her shoulders. "Daddy at work and mommy in bed she's taking a nap. She said don't wake her or I get time out, " she said and I took my little sister hand and we went for a walk.

My mom is a hard working woman and she's real hard on me ever since the problem happened with me and my dad. She never even talked to me about it she just never asked me if I was Ok or if I was fine. She just brushed it off like it never happened. Marcus on the other hand tries to bond with me and we do which makes my mom jealous. When we get back from our walk I put Naveena to bed and I went in my room. I hear a knock at my door as I sat on my bed. "Hey munchkin, " Marcus said and he comes in my room. "Hey Marcus how was work? " I asked. "Same old thing just a different day, " he said and I nodded. "Did mom wake up yet? " I asked. "Yeah she just left she said she was called in a little late for a case or something but I'm going to my boy house to watch the game. I'm taking Naveena with me cause she woke up when I got here so, " he said and I nodded. "Ok have fun, " I said as he left me room. I wonder if I should still go to this damn party that James was telling me about. 

I take a 20 min shower and looked for something to wear. I was going to wear my navy blue true religion shirt with my khaki shorts and my Jordan 6's. I left my hair curly and put in some moose and was out the door. I text James to come get me and we left.

We get to this house that's filled with people. I felt like a loner being out there all by myself somewhat. Some guy came behind me and one came in front of me. "Would you like a drink sweetie?" "Or a dance? " they asked. "No I'm fine thank you, " I said and they walked away gazing at me from their distance. James left me to go dance with some hoes. I will FUCK him up later but I tried to keep my cool and have fun.

I needed to go to the bathroom so I walked up the stairs. I get in the hallway and the same two guys that came to me before stopped and grabbed me. "If you say anything it's your last word, " the guy says holding a gun to my head. I nodded as a tear go down my cheek. "Awwww she's crying, I like girls like that, " the other guy said. They were all feeling on me and I was getting scared. I kicked one guy in the balls and the other I punched him in the face. "Help!! " I screamed down the hall until one of the guys grabbed me by my hair and smacked me in the face. He put the gun to my head and I started to cry. I thought it was over for me. I felt my hair released as I turned around the guys were on the ground. A guy came up to me and he grabbed my hand. "You ok? " he asked. "Yeah, " I said and he lead me out the house. "Come on I'll take you home, " he said and I got in the car. He drove me to where I told him to and stopped in front of my house. I can't believe this guy who don't even know me saved me from getting raped when he could of just let them had there way with me. "Thank you," I said to him. "No problem Ma, a pretty girl like you shouldn't be treated like that. I'm Malik by the way, " he said. "Nevaeh, " I said. "Well see you around Nevaeh, " he said and I got out the car. I'm glad I made it home tonight but I'm going to let James have it tomorrow.
