Evil In The Veins

Val

     Before I became this fucked up person inside, I was this loving, sweet, and creative little sweetie. My life was great god was my only man . Being 18 and still a virgin it was marriage than sex how I was raised up. My parents are pastors so they were very strict on my way of living.

   
     I had this one Bestfriend name Cindy since the age of  four. She was my rock the one I can tell all my problems to when my mom and dad will get all over protective. She was one of the best things that had happened to me. We did mostly everything together. Had play dates, sleepovers, birthdays together, even came on our periods at the same time. That was more like my sister honestly.

     As the years went by we remain sisters but her circle of friends began to change. Cindy wasn't raised like me. Cindy was raised up in a home where she had to share a bed with her youngest sister and her mom worked day and night as they lived from paycheck to paycheck. I can tell her life wasn't as good as mine but every time she came to my house she get happy and wanted. Her circle began to change as she start to hang with the cooler kids. She'll still hang with me as usual but the way she carries herself was different. I felt so left out because she changed.

"Ugh why do I have to get up so early!" Val said as she rolled over to the other side of the bed as she did a long stare before her mom came rushing in.

"Val hurry baby today is the day we have breakfast with the coopers. You know to talk business about the new camp we are trying to start at our camp for the youth." As her mom started to put her purls in her ears as she walked right back out the room.

     The coopers where the family that lived down the block from us. They are apart of the church also they are so faithful to the family. They have a son name Daniel a guy that seems to have a crush on me since seventh grade. My family thinks we will hit it off one day. They really hoping soon because he was to become just like my dad one day and take over the church. A church man is good for you my parents say.

     I got up and got myself together as I put on some Tasha cobbs. I wasn't allowed to hear regular music. Around the how it was gospel the closet I got to hip hop was the beat with gospel lyrics.

Being the only child gets boring. My mom had 3 miscarriages after me and after that they just gave up. They said if god what's it to happen it'll be.

"Valeri ! The coopers are here!" My mom said as I made my way down the stairs. We weren't any regular people. We were the people of our community. They counted on us to make things right. If anything goes wrong they turned to us to fix it.

"Oh Valeri how are you sweetie?" Mrs.Cooper asked as I hugged her.
"I'm fine Mrs.Cooper I see you looked bright as ever!" I smiled as she flash one back.
"Oh stop it I'm exercising more than usual." She laughed as we made our way to the table.

     My dad made his way down the stairs as everyone stood by their chair. My dad was a hard working man and everyone depends on him. It's like he has the whole word on his back at once.

"Goodmorning Mr.Wavers how are you Sr? Nice to see you this morning." Mr. Cooper said as they shook has and we took a seat for breakfast.

     As we set and ate breakfast the meeting went great about the camp for the youth at our church. I'm glad that my parents are taking the time to think about the kids and keeping them away from trouble.

As I listen to the discussion I felt someone eyeing me. As I glanced over I can see Daniel smiling as looking away.

     I smiled back a little and thought to myself. It's cute that he thinks I'm cute but he was never the type I'll date. Don't get me wrong I like guys who are like him it's just I always felt like we are more like family the way we've known each other.

     As the breakfast was over I headed to my room and plopped on my bed. I looked over and noticed a picture of me and Cindy when we were little. She went away to New York because of the incident that happened. Turns out hanging with the wrong crowd can be the worst decision ever. Someone laced her weed at a party and she hasn't been the same since. My parents wouldn't let me see her. They say she's been a bad influence our whole life. That's not true she just wanted to live life and she lived it the wrong way.

     I picked up my phone as I seen a text from Daniel. We text from time and time but it was never a everything thing. He  helps me with my chemistry sometimes and help my mom with trash here and there. Maybe Daniel is the one for me but I don't feel it. Maybe it'll take its course.

     I put the phone down and turned over on my side. I just want to be a normal person for once.
