All things fall

chapter 1

Coming home everyday to the same shit gets boring. I try to make my way up the stairs as he grabs my wrist, my mom's boyfriend. I never liked Kevin at all and I feel like the only way to get away from him is school. I go to Oak Wood high school where I am a junior.

Ashley: What do you want and let go of me?

Kevin: You know what I want so why don't you just cut the act.

Ashley: You're a sick bastard, I don't even know what she sees in you. I'm going to tell her the sick shit that you do.

Kevin: Go ahead, she'll never believe you anyway!

Ashley: I snatch my wrist and run to my room. It hurts because most of what he says is true. My mom gave up on my little brother and I a long time ago. She barely talks to me and when she does it's because of something I did wrong or said to Kevin. Eric is my 16 year old brother. He hurts and I see it all in his face. As I pull out my journal and pen I notice my knob turning.

Eric: Hey Ash.

Ashley: Hey wassup? (As he sits on my bed the wood creeks)

Eric: I just came to see how you were doing, I heard you and Kevin on the stairs.

Ashley: I don't know what you're talking about, maybe you should mind your damn business. I'm scared to really tell him what's going on because it's embarrassing and I know if he gets involved Kevin will try to bug on him too.

Eric: Bullshit Ashley and you know it , I don't understand why you push me away, maybe you and Mom are more alike than I thought. I'm out

Ashley: Eric wait, he was already leaving when I grab his arm. In that moment I saw something in my brother's eyes that I'd never seen before; anger. I let go and he just walked,I was losing my brother too. He resembled me in a lot of ways. His eyes, those Brown eyes that has the potential to make someone melt; at least I thought so. He had muscles that ripped and flexed every time something moves on his body. He didn't look like he was sixteen at all and he could take people that was way older than him, that's why he gets so much respect.

ERICS POV:

I hate it here and I can't wait to get the hell out. Next month I'm moving out and there isn't shit to stop me. I was walking down the mile and seen my niggah Chris , we've been best friends since shitty diapers.

Chris: wassup niggah??

Eric: Nothin Chillen man, just got into an argument with Ash ass.

Chris: Oh real, what about ??

Eric: About some shit she hiding, I know it's something but she ain't telling. I can't wait to get the hell away from here. I wanna take her with me and shit but I don't know. It ain't nothing for us here, we basically taking care of our Damn selves. We broke as hell and barely making it in school. I hate to see my sister like this C.

Chris: Man we can start dealing but you know the price that comes along with this.

Eric: Yea I know man but it's a price to pay even if I don't do it, I'm in. You??

Chris: Hell yeah

Eric: Promise me one thing though before we go.

Chris: wassup

Eric: Promise me that we won't ever let this shit change us.

Chris: I promise like bro, you know me and your sister gone be together one day right??

Eric: Niggah whatevea, she don't want your stick in the booty head ass

SORRY IF YOU GUYS THOUGHT IT WAS TOO VAGUE. WHAT DO YOU THINK , SHOULD I KEEP OR DELETE??

Chapter 2

ASHLEY POV

I woke up to the sound of Meek Mill love don't live here on my alarm clock, it was 6:15 in the morning and I was tired as hell. I went to my dresser and picked out a black crop top with some black levis and all black sandals. I untied my hair and let it fall, it fell all the way to my back and it was auburn black. Ashley hurry up we gone be late dang I heard Eric say. I'm coming shut up. After brushing my teeth I was on my way out the door. C and Eric was standing there laughing.

Eric: It's about time your ass take too long to be ugly ( laughs)

Ashley: Niggah ain't nobody worried about you and your stank breath ass. (Chris laughs) What's funny niggah??

Chris: You

Ashley: Yea I know I got jokes

Eric: bring y'all asses ( they leave)

Ashley: Aww shit there go my bitch Rere!

Eric: fuck both of y'all

Rere: wassup bitch??

Nothing Chillen with these dumb asses, you riding with us??

Here: Hell yea

Rere been my day one since 4th grade. We were always hated even though we barely have shit. We keep ourselves up off of first of the month checks, my mom don't know that we get them but they come. One time I told her that I had a job and she tried to take my money so the next day I told her I got fired. Rere and I made a promise that we were going to get out the hood. We never let these bitches come in between with what we started.
