I think I'm going to be sick. Melvina stares at Michael and then my neck as if she's about to lunge at him. Malik says, "Baby, calm down okay." Melvina looks at Malik and her jaw drops.
"Did you know about this Malik?" Melvina questions him. He looks at me with a sorry expression as he puts his head down in guilt. Ms.Wright walks over next to Shawn and then she looks back to my dad.
My dad says, "What are you doing here India?" His voice is calm because I can tell he's trying to not go in full rage mode on me. "I-i came to the pa-party with Melvina a-and my friends."
Melvina furrows her eyebrows at me, I know it was because I was stuttering
I'm going to get caught up, I feel it. My dad says,"Who the hell gave you permission to come here?" Melvina says,"Hey, uncle chill out whats your problem?"
He steps closer to me and he grabs my arm making me wince in pain. I start shaking as I close my eyes wanting this nightmare to just be over. Melvina sees him gripping my arm tighter and she lunges towards my dad and yanks him back.
Which only makes him let go of my arm and Malik grabs her trying to calm her down. My dad on the other hand slaps me hard across the face, and I'm pretty sure it echoed across the whole downstairs part of the house. Everyone gasps and they look at my dad and all of us in the kitchen.
I just stand there stunned, in shock holding my stinging cheek. I'm not shocked that he hit me, its the fact that he hit me infront of EVERYONE. I wanted to break down and just cry.
Melvina kicks Malik in the leg as she attacks my dad and Michael grabs my hand leading me to a chair. Michael says,"I am so sorry, are you okay? I am such a jerk I'm really sorry, I really am."
The last thing I remeber doing is smiling before I blacked out....

I woke up to my bedroom. I wasn't alone because I heard the water from the shower running. I seen my bedroom door open and it was my aunt. She walks over to my bed side with water and a bowl of soup.
She says,"Hun, I am so sorry sweetie, I heard what happened but are you alright?" I nod my head, my wrist was a little sore and the same for my throat. My aunt doesn't look happy at all, not to mention everyone at school knows what happens now.. Everyone.
The bathroom door opens only to reveal Melvina in some sweat pants and a black t-shirt. My aunt looks over to her and says,"Baby how's your fist?" Melvina says,"Ahh.. its nothin really just a little sore is all but I'm good mom."
My aunt nodded her head and she gave me a small smile while kissing my forehead and standing up from my bed. She tells me that I don't have to go to school if I wasn't feeling up for it. Melvina walks over to me and she gives me a hug.
She says,"I'll tell you all about last night when I get back from school, because I need to see my man and apologize for kicking him hehe." I just roll my eyes as I laugh lightly and fan her off. She grabs her things and she walks out of my room closing the door.
I sit up and eat some of the soup my aunt made me. It feels really soothing for my throat. What happened last night? I guess I'll find out later on tonight. The house phone started ringing... I wonder who that could be.
I get from out of my bed and I quickly make my way down the stairs. I answer the phone with a 'Uh.. hello?'
The line is dead but, I know someone's on the phone. I hang up and put the phone back on the hook.
Just as I was about to turn away it rings again. I answer, 'Hellooo..' I say making it clear that I was irritated. "Is this India Jackson?" My heart skips a beat.. who is this, its a guy.
