The Abused

CHAPTER#12: You Can't Be Serious

I just came from my room. I had taken a quick shower and now I'm ready to go out somewhere. The front door opens swiftly and in walks Melvina with Malik on the side of her. She looks pretty pissed.

'Uhm, hello to you too.. are you okay?' She just runs past me and upstairs. I look at Malik giving him that 'What's up with her look' He walks over to the couch and sits down as I just stand there.

I stare at him and he does the same in return. I pick up my shoe from the ground and throw it at him. "What gives girl?" I laugh as I say smartly,'Oh my-wow he speaks.. its incredible.'

He rolls his eyes. 'What happened to Melvina?'I ask."It was my sister, she's being a bit of a brat today." Oh so thats what this is all about. Melvina slams a door and she comes back downstairs with her hair in a nice slick bun and her tennishoes on.

Before she tries to leave I stop her. 'Oh no you don't, where are you going?'

She groans irritated, "To give someone a taste of something many people wish they didn't have to have." I laugh 'Come on, please let it go she's honestly not worth it.'

There's a knock at the door. Melvina walks over to open it. It's Michael. "Get the hell off my porch asshole!"
I walk over to the door and I pull Michael inside and away from Melvina so she doesn't hurt him. He smiles at me but sits on the couch next to Malik.

Okay what's up with people just taking a seat on the couch? Rude much.

Melvina glares at Michael but, looks at me stunned. She asks,"Okay okay, now I know for a fact that I ain't just see you grab his arm and escort him in this house. Are you you feelin okay India? What marbles have you lost?"

I laugh and say,'None, I've got all my marbles and don't worry I'll explain later.' She says,"I still have questions, oh and don't think I forgot about your neck Indy. Malik spilled all the beans." Michael looks scared now. Its kind of funny.

Malik shouts,"Before you say ANYTHING India she forced me. I clearly haven't had much control or say in our relationship." I giggle not surprised because Melvina is a very crazy person but, the most wonderful person you'll ever meet... if your lucky that is.

Malik gets up from the couch and he does this little hand shake with Michael. He then walks over to me and gives me a hug. Then lastly over to Melvina kissing her on the cheek.

Malik says,"I've got to go now guys, see you all later at school tomorrow. India hopefully you'll go to school and Mike, text ya later dude. Bye babe call you soon." He leaves and closes the door behind him. Michael says,"I came over to ask if you were going to school tomorrow because I might have something to do with my sister."

'What do you mean?' He says,"Uh, Janet, I don't believe you've met her but she was working on this dance with my aunt and they wanted me to tag along tomorrow." I say,'Oh, well thats great just text me I guess.'

He smiles and says,"Cool, oh and mother is having a big cook out tomorrow for the family and wanted to know if you could attend?" I think about it for a moment. I have to meet with my mom tomorrow. 'Yes!I'd love to go, what time?' He smiles that breathtaking smile as he says,"Tomorrow evening at 4:35 sharp."

I nod my head. 'See you tomorrow then.' He nods his head as we hug and he awkwardly walks past Melvina and out of the door. Once it closes Melvina says,"So, would you prefer to tell me now or later?"

I laugh and sit down on the couch. 'First you tell me what happened at the party. Also tell me why Aunt Teresa was asking if your hand was still hurting.' She sighs,"Fine."

She says,"Well after you passed out I had a little takedown with uncle." I gasp, her and dad fought? Oh no. She says,"Yea, it wasn't pretty. Michael had taken you to sit down and I just went straight for the punch, of course I couldn't do much damage because Ms.Wright started screamin and crap."
