Katherine King

It's been a few days since Anthony was at my house, every time I saw him he would try to talk to me and I simply nod my head or ignore him. My mom was out in the porch, talking to some neighbor that stopped by.

Since at work i've slacking a lot, and Linda said that the police has been making a lot of stops lately around the block. So some of the girls relocate or found other jobs.

I was planing of being a prostitute anymore, I've thought of working a few nights and then find another job.

While I made lunch, I heard another voice outside. I stick my head out the kitchen glancing outside seeing Anthony talking to my mom

Does he likes oldies?

I thought to myself and shrug it off, probably do.

When I was done with the food, I walked out and saw the neighbor from next door left and it was only Anthony

"Sup" he said looking at me with a smile, I nodded sitting next to my mom as she shakes her head at me

"Rude" I heard my mom mumbled, I guess Anthony heard it cause he chuckled

I sat there listening to their conversations, as Anthony from time to time would ask me questions.

"How old are you?" He asked

"I'm 20" I simply said, he nodded

"I'm 21, well Janet it was nice seeing you" He smiled hugging my mom and wave at me while he left

"Wh-why you so dry to him?" My mom asked looking at me and I shrug "He such a g-good person"

"Mom you just met him" I said rolling my eyes, getting up so we can go inside

"and? you have to stop acting like this" she mumble, and I just nodded.

They kept having their own conversation, and honestly She's never been this talkative.

It seems like It didn't bother him that she would stutter so much.

When we got inside, she wanted to bath so I helped her get bath, and then she ate her food and took a nap.

I walked downstairs, and grabbed my keys. Leaving out the house to pick up my siblings, since Delilah has practice.

"Sis!!" Sean ran to me hugging me and I smiled

"How was school?" I asked

"It was good, the field was fun" I nodded as we crossed the street to meet Hennessy who went to the corner store with her friend. The thing about living around here it's that all the school was either 10 minuets aways walking, so they don't have busses except for public bus.

"Hey" Hennessy said, getting up from the stairs and walked towards me

"You good?" I asked looking at her and she nodded

"Henny, you sure"

"Yeah, I just want to go home" She said giving me a fake smile, I shrug it off cause knowing her she'll tell me later

When we made it back home, Sean and Hennessy ate first before doing their homework.

Looking at Sean, he had to get a haircut. I'll probably take him Friday.

I helped Sean do his homework while Hennessy kept walking around with a mug on her face.

"You know what may be wrong with her?" I asked Sean and he shake his head 'no' , when Sean finished doing his homework he went to take a shower.

Delilah walked in the house looking exhausted, and walked to the kitchen serving herself

"How was practice?" I asked putting the rest of the food away

"It was way too much" Delilah said sighing "I never knew that volleyball would be this tiring" I chuckled

"Of course it's going to be, finish your food so you do your homework and get ready to bed" I told her glancing at the time, it was almost eight thirty.

I walked up the stairs seeing Hennessy sitting down on her bed crying, I sigh sitting next to her and hugging her

"What's wrong Henny?" I asked wiping her tears away

"I saw my dad" She said and I nodded so she can continue "H-he was walking with his new family, his wife works at my school. Why he couldn't be like that with us Kat, why he had to leave us and abandon us" She said crying more and I hugged her tightly

"Because he was weak and couldn't take care of his family, but that still doesn't give him a reason to leave" I told her brush her hair out of her face "He doesn't deserve our love and never will. Never cry for someone that ever left you, cause you have nothing to do with it" I told her kissing her forehead and she nodded hugging me back

"But Katerine, that literally broke my heart" When she said that it broke my heart even more, Hennessy and him were so close when he was around until he found out my mom was sick and said he was going to the store and never came back. I just kept hugging her as she cried, Delilah walked in with a sad smile, i'm guessing she heard what we were talking about and got in the hug.
