Ana

Chapter-18

Ana.

It's been four weeks now and I have been going to school everyday since my meeting. I'm working on raising my grades so that I can graduate. I couldn't imagine not graduating with my class but the way my grades are looking that just might come true.

Every since my school meeting, my mother and I have been on bad terms. We barley talk and when we do it's bad. All we do is argue and fight. I've been staying at Lexy's for the last couple of days, Miracle too. When I go out to make my money I drop miracle off with my mom. I hate to do it but there's no one else I can take her to that late.

Anthony and I been talking pretty deep lately. These past four weeks or months I should say we been hitting it off. Were not dating yet, yes I said yet because I can feel this actually going some where. We've been hanging out lately at school and I'm honestly just in La La land right now.

Asia and I are still the same as we always been, besides the time she pulled that little stunt on me. Me actually telling her about my life has made us alot closer. Asia is still trying to help me come from out this hell life I'm living but, I'm not taking her options. One option I had was to call CPS and let them put us in a foster home. I'm only 17 so I still have a chance with them but I rather not, I fear with that is that they will try to split miracle and I up. I'm not having it, sorry. Another option was that Asia parents were going to take us in. I turned that down also, I know call me stupid but I can't do it.

I honestly see my last option finding my family in California and seeing where it takes me from there. I just need to take Miracle and get far far away with this life. I feel like finding my family is the last option I have and if this doesn't work... I'm stuck.

It's a Friday night and I'm standing in Anthony kitchen cooking us dinner. Anthony parents are away for the weekend so I got to bring Miracle along with me. Wtf wtf? I know lol, but Lexy is out tonight and I refused to take her to my moms. Anthony knows a little from what I told him about my life so he understands the process of bringing Miracle along with me.

Big Mike let me half the weekends off. He wasn't taking it at first cause like I always say that's MONEY LOST but, I sat down and explained to him my whole life story and the whole school thing and he understood. I just needed the weekend to myself to kinda relax and calm down and I thank Mike so much for that.

Anthony wrapped his hands around my waist and I was cooking the meat for the tacos I was making.

"Mmmm baby... you got it smelling good."

"I know right... here taste the meat and tell me what you think" I said getting a spoon and scooping up just a little bit of meat for him.

Anthony blew the meat before putting it into his mouth.

"It's hella good" he smiled.

"You sure" I said tasting it. "I think it's needs a little...".

"It's perfect" Anthony said turning of the stuff and started to help me prepare the tacos.

I called out to Miracle "Miracle go wash your hands so you can eat".

Anthony fixed Miracle two tacos and I fixed Anthony three and me two.

We all sat down at the kitchen table.

"Babe Miracle isn't going to eat two tacos" I said looking at Miracle plate.

"Yes I'am sister".

"Yeah that's my girl... leave her alone she got this".

After we all finished eating I then laid Miracle down in the guest room. I sat on the bed until she fell asleep. Once she fell asleep, I went to Anthony room.

"She sleep" Anthony asked.

"Yeah". I said laying down on Anthony chest.

"Baby" he said.

"Huh"?

"When are you going to start telling me the truth"?

"What are you talking about Anthony, everything I have been telling you is nothing but the truth" I said.

"I'm only asking because the whole you working on 16th street been brought up to me again. Not by my bestfriend this time, but by other people. I'm only asking you because I want the truth. I know were starting to get very serious and you know I want us to go somewhere with this, but Ana for real baby I need to know the truth". He said giving me that long ass talk giving me time to think on my answer.

"Anthony I'm actually kinda getting upset that you think I'm out here hoeing. I told you about my life my REAL HONEST life there is nothing else to tell. I told you the most deepest shit before I told anyone. I told you shit I didn't even tell my bestfriend first. And for you to think I'm basically a hoe..." I was then cut off.

"Don't twist my words Ana, I didn't say you were a hoe. It's just crazy how it's seriously being brought up almost everyday at school". After ending what he was saying, I lifted up off his chest and stood up. Standing over him while he was still laying down. "What" he laughed.

"This is the second time you questioned me about this. Obviously you don't believe me, that's fine. But what I'm not about to do is lay up with andyou questioning me about this. So just take me and my sister home".

"Baby" he laughed again. " If it's not true why are you so upset and ready to go"?

"Anthony the shit is rude, stop asking me this dumb ass question. I don't know who people are seeing on 16th street that looks like me I guess, but it's not me. I'm trying in the nicest way to tell you, but your pissing me off".

Anthony then grabbed my hand, pulling me to lay back down with him. I was back in the position I was in on his chest. "My bad baby for real, I won't bring it up anymore ok"?

"Promise"?

"Promise" Anthony said before lifting my chin up to kiss him. We made out for a minute before taking off each other clothes. The night went from there.
