Tired Of Waiting On You

Wendy's.

I kneed him in his balls. I go to the end of the stairs and stopped to turn around to him rolling on the ground in pain. "Don't try that on me. Get ready. I'm hungry, not horny Anthony. I need to wash all this dry blood off me", I chuckled and go upstairs.

Got a wet towel to wipe off all the blood. I changed into some dark-washed ripped jeans, a red shirt and red checkered Old Skool Vans that were laced the sneakerhead way like all my shoes. I let my brown wavey hair flow to my waist, I was too lazy to do something with it.

We all finished getting ready at the same time and all ran downstairs to get into Eli and I's cars since we were the best drivers out of all of em.

Anthony, Tori, Mar and Ji were all quiet once we got into my car. "Okay okay. Me and playboi are cool now okay? Y'all can talk if you want. You know I hate awkward spaces." I spoke out, breaking the silence.

"Oh my gosh. Thank the lords." Ji said as he let out a breath of relief.

"Yeah. Now all of you start a conversation because this shit is boring me." I just wanted everything to be how it normally is. Where we're talking.

"I know this might be outta line to ask but can all of you guys please tell me the stories of your situations? I'm curious." Anthony asked, looking at each of us.

Tori went first. "We all met in 6th grade. Besides Mar, Eli and San. Those three known each other since they were like 6 or 7. We all bonded on smoking weed because we had the same habits. Mainly we went through the same problem. But ima speak for everyone and say that Sani has the worst situation. Gone through the worst but is the strongest because she never cried. Always smiled or laughed at it. Kinda psychotic but it she could always make us smile. She always smiled and took care of all of us. We all had abusive parents. But we all have different types of parents. My dad was always gone. Mom took out her anger of him leaving on me. When they got divorced, she always said how it was my fault. But then I got kicked out because she just got sick of me. San here, took me under her wing and understood me like a book. We all had stole money from our parents and all pitched in to buying the Purp House when we all went back to our homes and got kicked out as we planned."

Ji next. "My mom always took everything away from me. Money and many other things. She would steal my stuff and sell it for money she'd use for herself. On drugs and other intoxicating shit. My dad always saw me as a disappointment. Never even hugged me once. He'd then acted fake and would smile for show whenever we were around people. He'd threaten me. He went crazy one night and hit me around the head with a beer bottle. I knocked out. I woke up in a hospital the next morning with San there by my side. By the time I got out the hospital, we bought the Purp House. I stayed there since I couldn't go home yet."

Then Mar. "I had a possessive mom and dad. Always wanted me to be someone I didn't want to be. They wanted me to be like Dayanara. Always dressing like a girl. They'd drug me to put on a smile instead of crying because I went against them. I hated it. Sure I love girl clothes but I wasn't a daughter to them. I was a doll. They'd put clothes on me with force. One day they were grabbing me and pinning me down, trying to get into a dress for a beauty pageant. They gave me bruises all over my body. Until Sani busted into my house because she was suspicious of why I wasn't responding to her texts. Then she saw what my mom and dad were doing to me. Seeing me cry in a corner, scared and curled up into a ball. She beat them up 10 times badder than they had done to me. She smiled as they were knocked out on the floor and helped me up. She took me to the Purp House, where I stayed at as well. She cared for my bruises and wounds. I was free because of San. I smiled so hard that day."

They all paused and looked at me. Anthony asked, "What about you San?" They all sighed, besides Anthony. Mar, Ji and Tori looked away from me. Anthony was the only one looking at me.
