This a story that you will never hear in the news, or even read about in the Times magazine, and unknown to almost all.
A story about how a girl fought her life, in this day and age. It may sound strange, but that's just the way things are.
I woke up with pounding in my head. 'I need to stop allowing Annette to keep me up for so long' I thought, wishing to get more sleep. Annette is my guardian, and my grandmother who has alzheimers. She along with my brother, T.J, got in a fight because Annette didn't remember he was going out with friends.
*Buzz Buzz Buzz* I groan knowing who was calling me. Thinking for a minute if I should answer, I picked it up, and prepare for the yelling. "Kevin, Baby, right now is a bad time. Can I call you back later?" I ask, knowing it would end badly, but wished for the best. "WHAT?!?!? Why Is This A Bad Time?!?!?! IS IT BECAUSE YOUR CHEATING ON ME!?!?! I KNEW YOU WERE A FUCKING WHORE!!!!!!!" Kevin screamed over the phone. After the screaming died down, I explained that i had errands to run as well as a job interview. "Alright whatever, just get me some smokes from Darian. And hurry up bitch. I don't like to be kept waiting." He then hung up the phone, leaving me in silents.
At that same moment, Annette then came rushing in screaming that someone stole her phone and car keys. "Annette, your phone is on the dresser, and the keys I have. Do you Have the list of what you want and or need?" I ask calmly. "Yes I have the list, but i want to drive. And we are only going to the store cause Im tired." She said frustratedly. "Don't you have a thing planned with Shirley in a while? And you already know that you cant drive." "Oh yes thanks for reminding me, Ill go to Shirley's house and you do the errands. If you get stopped by the cops, I'm saying you stole the car." Nodding in agreement to calm her down, I then got ready.
Tj then came rushing in saying that the bus didn't come pickup him and his friend Cody. "Please Sis , we need a ride. Cody's mom and dad are at work and we cant be late again!" he said, panicking "Alright calm down. You still have 30 minutes, so I can take you and get you guys breakfast as well, cause I know neither one of you have eaten yet." I told him. He then rushed out the door, while I got dressed. (Outfit above hopefully)
Annette came again saying that she would like to leave at 10 o'clock. Understanding this, I got the keys and hopped in the car just as Tj and Cody walked out. They hopped in and started to play their music as i drove out the gate and down the rode. "Alright, here's the plan. I'm going thru the drive thru at McDonalds and getting you guys something to eat. Then I'll get you guys to school and sign y'all in at the front desk. If you need a ride after school, both of you have my number, just give me a call, alright?" Both of them nod their heads. We get to the school just as the bell rang. We walk inside and I explain to the lady at the desk, Carol, who has grown to know me for this very reason. After this, the boys left to class, and I get home. Just as I turn the car off, Annette comes out saying she ready to go. I sigh and turn the car back on.
As we leave to go to Shirley's, she tries to lower my self-esteem. "Why did Tj need a ride? Is it so you could pick-up his girlfriend to? Watch out?!?! Are you trying to kill us?" she asks. "Because the bus didn't arrive to take them to school. The school explained that the bus broke down." I explain, just as I pull up to Shirley's house. "Just call me if you need anything or your ready to go home." She left saying nothing, even though I know she heard me. I call a friend who I know will need a ride. "Hey are you ready or do you need more time to get ready to see your man?" I ask, knowing the answer. "Madison! Thank God you called. I have no idea what to wear!!!! I need your help girl. Come over ASAP." Jeremiah said, hanging up the phone. I sigh, 'Oh boy, here we go again.' Pulling out of the driveway of Shirley's house, I drove 2 blocks south to his house. As soon as I hop out of the car, Jeremiah rushes out and pulls me inside. I then grab the perfect outfit, and he rushes to get dressed.

"Hey Maddi, I need more smokes and some Starbucks if you could stop please?" He shouts from the bathroom. "Alright, that's fine. I need to get gas anyway, and Kevin needs smokes to if you could grab two more packs." I say, just as he walks out. "Girl, I don't know why you're still with that guy." I nod my head in agreement, not understanding why I, myself,was still with Kevin, and walked to the car. We drove off, windows rolled down and music blaring. We first got Starbucks, in which I paid for. We got to the window to pay, and the lady who was working looked at me as though I was garbage, and poor. "Ma'am, I sorry but I cant give you your drinks." she said with a sneer. I looked at her shocked, "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly." "You heard me correctly, bitch. Now move along, your holding up the line." Jeremiah, being who he is, tried getting out of the car, screaming, "I KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST CALL HER A BITCH YOU SLU-!!!!!!" I just drove off, finding a parking spot. I walk inside and ask for the manager. The same lady came up to me saying she was the manager. "I do believe i told you two to leave already?" "Alright cut the bullshit kid. Where is Myra, the REAL manger?" Just as I said that, Myra comes walking over to say hi to me. Myra was a coworker of mine. Yes, she is the manager of Starbucks, but she also work with me at Curves Cabaret. I explain to her what happened and she also looked at the security camera. We leave with our drinks, with the rude lady following, due to her losing her job. Next we go to the gas station to grab what we need, as well as gas.
