Janelle's POV
I knock on the door of Khalil's house and his mom opens it. That's shocking.
Momma P: Hey Jan, how are you sweetie?
Me:*smiles* I'm good, I just came to check on Khalil? He hasn't returned any of my calls or texts and he hasn't returned to school, is everything okay?
She frowns and leans on the door.
Momma P:Baby he didn't tell you? Oh that boy.
Me:Tell me what? Where is he?
Momma P:He went to a rehab center to help him focus on walking again. Some people heard his story and wanted to help him. He's in California.
I frown and look away, some people? Rehab center? I nod and thank her before telling her I'll check in on her later before leaving. Why would he leave without telling me? What would make him leave without telling me?
Once I make it outside of the apartment building I check my surroundings before heading back home. The homeless people I pass by ignoring me and I them, I start past two dudes in suites when I hear my dad's name, from a familiar voice. I walk a little farther and start to listen, but realize that they aren't speaking anymore. What do they want with my dad?
Once I make it back inside the house I see dad on the couch reading.
Me:Dad.
Dad:Hey babygirl, what's wrong?
Me:For one Khalil is missing, and for two I heard someone say your name to some dudes in suites, they honestly looked like cops but I didn't see the badges. Just be careful ight?
He chuckles and nods, I go up to my room, get into the shower and get into bed.
Next Morning At School.
I stand near my locker as I wait for the bell to ring, but soon that girl is in my face again. What was her name?
Girl:So, have you made up your mind?
Me:Sure, have you been on YouTube?
Girl:YouTube? Why would I be on YouTube?
Me:That's where I learned my basics. Look up self defense training and start from there, actually get up and try them and don't just lay there and watch them. By the time you've watched three you should be sweating. If not? That mean you weren't trying hard enough.
Girl: Who am I going to practice with?
Me:Your imagination.
The bell rings and I walk away to my class.
3rd Period
I sit in the back of the class looking outside into the vast parking lot when I hear the police coming up the street. I watch as they get closer and pull up into the school, some jock next to me nudges me.
Jock:Damn they coming to arrest you?
Me:Fuck off.
Once they all get in they swarm my dad's car. I stand up and watch.
Ms. Pietrantonio: Everyone back in your seats please.
Jason:Yo ain't that Mr. P's Car?
I start to the door ignoring my teachers voice, I jog down the stairs and are met with my dad and the cops Jennifer next to me.
Me:Dad what is this?
