I couldn't sleep all I could do was think of Aaliyah. I know she's on drugs but her eyes cry for help. I'm older than her I wasn't so surprised my grandmother didn't approve of me talking to her. I didn't want her to go away it was something about her presence that made me calm. I want to know so much more about her I came in the house. And walked right passed grandmother I didn't want to talk. I just wanted to get in the shower and head to bed. As I got out the shower I put my boxers on and went straight to my bedroom. Closed my door I locked my door for privacy grandmother hated it but I was 16. I needed some type of space I got a few books off my bookshelf. Turned my room light off and turned my night stand lamp on next to my bed. Didn't mind reading till I dozed off I hope I get to talk to Aaliyah tomorrow.

I get home and I her my father yelling at my mom.
Father: you trifling whore you can't do nothing right. He spat throwing his dinner plate across the living room hitting the wall. That made me jump

Mother: I'm sorry I'll try to do better. She pleaded with tears in her eyes and a busted lip she seen me

Mother: go up stairs Aaliyah please she said looking away running to the mess he just through at the wall. I didn't say anything to neither one of them but I heard him say as I walked up the stairs to my room

Father: why the hell am I here your nothing but a lazy whore. And I have a daughter as a crack head whore. He said finishing the last of his beer

All I could hear was my mother crying and my father telling her to shut up before he shut her up I didn't want to stay in this house I wanted to go find a place and get high so I can ascape my reality Joe came to mind I didn't know if he would accept me coming over there so late but I had to take my chances I snuck out my window an ran so fast till I reached his window the lights was off in his house I was so scared to knock on his window I couldn't help but start crying. Ok Aaliyah it's something about this guy I have no one to run to and he's the only person that I could think of that doesn't look at me as a kid on drugs. So I did I knocked on his window and the night stand lamp came on he peeked out the window and raised it up.
Joe: you ok? He says wiping his eyes confused with sleep in them
Me: no I have no where to go I said I started to cry even more. He opened his window till it wouldn't raise up anymore.

Joe: climb in. He said as he reached for me to help me through the window.

Me: I don't want to get you in trouble you we're the only one I could think of I said. My head down I didn't want him to see me crying so bad wasn't a pretty sight.

Joe: your fine if you need me I'm here for you. He said sitting on the edge of his bed looking at me. Just him staring at me made me get calm again it's something about when he stares at me I just don't know what.

Me: can I sleep here I'll sleep on the floor I just don't want to go home I say sitting beside him looking down again.

Joe: ummmmmmmm I guess so but you don't have to sleep on the floor. He said walking to his dresser pulling out some night clothes laying them on the bed
Me: thank you so much I say between sniffles from all my crying. He picks my head up and smiles at me.

Joe: no problem my grandmother should be sleep let me check if so I'll walk you to the bathroom so you can freshen up before we go to sleep.

Me: ok that's fine. I say didn't know what to expect from him I hope he doesn't try anything with me. He leaves out the room and comes back in.

Joe: she's out cold so your good to freshen up I'll show you where the bathroom is. He say picking up the sleeping clothes and leading me down the hall to the bathroom he shows me where everything I'll need is at and he shut the door behind him so I can have privacy.

when Aaliyah knocked on my window I was surprised once again. I knew something was wrong she was crying and eyes was red as ever and puffy. I never snuck a girl in the house I wasn't raised that way. Aaliyah needed me so I did what I thought needed to be done I let her in of course. She came back in the room in the shirt and pair of shorts I let her Wear

Me: you feel a little better? I say walking to the door closing it an locking it.

Aaliyah: yes I do she says sticking her dirty linen in my closet for now

Me: here's a pillow you can lay on this side of the bed I'll lay on the other half of  bed moving my pillow to the side she'll be laying on.
Aaliyah: thank you she says while climbing up in my bed to get comfy.

Me: no problem. I say getting up to turn my radio on so my grandmother won't hear me and Aaliyah voices. Head back to the bed and laid down as well

Aaliyah: can I ask you something? She says looking at me

Me: sure.
Aaliyah: can you hold me please. I can see the tears forming In her eyes.

Me: ummm yeah I don't mind. I say scooting near her till her back is on my chest I wrap my arms around her and feel her body relax.

Aaliyah: thank you she says. Snuggling my arm
Me: no problem. I say reaching over her with my free arm turning my lamp off. It was quite she was finally asleep glad grandmother have bingo tomorrow morning and won't be home till late. I was so tired I couldn't help but fall asleep.
