Me and Trell were sitting on the couch with Mary in front of us.
"What made you run away?" She asked
"Because they still treat me like a kid. Like I don't know what love is when I do because I love him."
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you love him?"
"Because he loves and really cares about me." I said
"That's it? You know why I love your grandfather? I love him because I know I'll always be safe around him. He's the first man I've been with that has never disrespected me even when he's mad. Just being around him gives me a warm feeling inside. Your grandfather worships me. He'll literally do anything for me to ensure I'm happy. Now that is love and what your parents have is love. This right here is like. You like him. You like the thought of being with someone like him." She said
I was speechless.
"Malaysia." I heard a deep voice behind me. I turned and saw my grandad standing by the door.
"Hey grandad." I said
"I'm not even gone deal with you. You little boy? Come in my office so we can talk." Trell quickly got up and walked with him.
"I understand what your saying but I guess I'm insecure. He's the only boy at the school that hasn't talked to me and only wanted sex. He actually wanted a relationship with me."
"Malaysia you are beautiful. I'm sure it's plenty of other guys that want you for you and not your body."
I heard a door slam and looked out the window. I opened the blinds and saw my mom. She looked mad while my dad was red in the face.
They walked through the door and came into the living room.
"Should I beat your ass now or later?" My dad said
"Daddy I can explain."
"Ain't shit gone help you. You stole a car Malaysia. You don't have no fucking license. What if y'all would have gotten pulled over? That would have been your ass. You running away with some boy your sister fought?!" He yelled which caused my eyes to water.
"I'm sorry."
"What you crying for? I ain't do nothing to you yet."
"Gimmie my muthafuckin keys." Mikah said walking through the door. Mary handed them to him and he took them but looked at me with disgust .
"I don't need everybody being mean to me." I said
"We don't need you stealing cars and running off with a boy Malaysia. You scared us and you know Malaya just fou-"
"I know they fought! Y'all don't have to keep bringing that up!" I said louder than I thought. I was popped in my mouth and quickly sat back down.
"Who the fuck you talking to?" My mama said coming around the couch and crouching down to my level.
