ELEMENT (Kendrick's Kids)

Bad Ass Kids Part 1

Kendra -

Bazzi's song Alone played in my headphones, as I crept in the house. It was way past curfew. I prayed like hell ma was asleep. I kicked off my shoes and I was about to reach the stairwell when our dog Lady started barking. "Ssh," I said to her and the living room lights came on. I was about to pee on myself as mama sat on the couch staring at me.

"Where in the hell have you been?" She asked me.

"I was out with my friends and forgot what time it was mama," I said my voice shaking.

"Kendra there are rules in this house, and if you live here you will follow them. Curfew is 9:30, it's 12:00am now the hell did you forget what time it was?" Mama asked as she stood up. I spotted the belt in her hand and instantly started crying.

"Give me your phone," she said as she walked towards me.

"Ma-"

"Give me the phone Kendra, NOW!" She yelled. I handed her the phone.

"Unlock it," she said. I typed the wrong password on purpose and she hit me with the belt.

"Don't play with me Kendra!" She yelled.

"Mama please," She didn't even budge as she swung the belt a few more times.

"Unlock this damn phone, right now," she yelled. I Unlocked the phone and she went through it.

"So you want to take naked pictures of yourself? Huh is that what you wanna do!" She yelled as she came after me with the belt.

"Daddy!" I yelled.

"He is not here! He's not going to save you!" Wack! Wack! She continued to hit me until I heard Daddy's voice. I yelled louder and he came into the living room.

"Jazz!" He yelled as he grabbed her.

"Kendra go upstairs!" Daddy yelled.

I hurried up and ran upstairs, mama tried to hit me again but daddy pinned her against the wall. When I made it to my room I fell down to the ground with tears falling down my eyes. I had blisters on my arms and my legs. My hands began to shake as I cried uncontrollably.

Kendrick -

"That's the problem now, you're always sticking up for her, and she's coming in the house late, sending nude pictures, Kendrick I'm tired of this shit, I can't do it!" Jazmine yelled as she stormed up stairs.

"Hold on babe damn I'm not taking nobodies side I'm trying to figure out what the fuck is going on,"

"That's the problem you are so clueless, if it isn't about smoking weed or going on tour you don't care," she said as stormed in the closet grabbing her suit case.

"Jazmine you know that's a damn lie, I do care about what's going on, I'm asking you what happened," I said as I went behind her taking the suitcase out her hand.

"Kendrick it doesn't matter nothings going to change, I'm tired I'm tired of everything,"

"So what you saying Jazmine?"

"I just need a break," she started throwing clothes in her suitcase.

"So when times get hard you leave that's what you're telling me?"

"Kendrick I just need a break if I stay I'm going to loose my damn mind," she said as she zipped the suitcase. I couldn't even argue with her. I threw my hands up going into our bedroom.

"Babe I love you I do, but I'm stressed out and I'm tired, I feel unappreciated, the kids are driving me nuts, please just let me take this vacation, I'll be back home soon, I promise,"
