Please Remember Me

Chapter 30

When two people love each other but aren't together, is that crazy? I mean they aren't together for I don't know what reason. But the pain and reality hits when you see that boy/girl walking by with someone else. That person begin to ignore you more and speak to you less. And then you're left alone..in the dark. It hurts painfully..................until you meet someone else!

Jordan POV

I woke up on the couch with Josh's head lying on my shoulder. I looked down at my phone and saw it was 6:35. Way too early for my liking.

"Josh." I whispered in his ear. I saw dried up tears on his face and a wet spot on my shoulder. My poor baby.

"Mmm." He mumbled.

"Baby wake up." I whispered. He leaned up and looked at me.

"You don't want me here or something?" He asked so sadly. It broke my heart to see him fall apart and not being able to do anything about it.

"Of course I do. But you can't live here forever baby." I said. He stared into my eyes and slowly looked away.

"I'm catching your drift." He stood up and stretched.

"It's not like the social service gone come take you away. You grown. You can live alone." I stood up with him but didn't reach his tall masculine height.

"Aite. Ima hit you up later." He kissed my cheek and left. I walked upstairs and peeped in my mom and dad's room.

"Mommy." I said like a little baby. She twisted and turned.

"Daddy." I said. His eyes fluttered open.

"Wassup baby girl." He said.

"Can I lay in bed with y'all?" I said like a little girl again.

"Sure." he scooted over so I could lie between him and mom. I'm blessed to have my parents in my life. Some people aren't that fortunate.

Felix POV

"Duke!" I crept into the house at 8 in the morning. I was with Keith all night. And the family service people gone be here to check us out. I didn't even try to put make up over my swollen eye.

"Where you been?!" He charged towards me and pinned me against the front door.

"With my boyfriend." I cried.

"Fuck a boyfriend! Why your eye still black! Go cover that shit up!" He snapped.

"No." I cried out.

"What?" He drew back and punched me with all his might.

"You gone learn to do what I say!" He kept hitting me in the face like I was a fucking man! Like I was a damn punching bag to him.

"Stop." I cried out. The only thing that stopped him was a knock on the door. He looked at me with rage and hatred. I got off the floor and quickly ran to put make up on.

I rushed into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My beautiful, flawless face was now bruised and beaten. I don't think any make up could cover this.

I put my Mary Kay foundation on thickly. I put black make up around my eyes to disguise the marks. I put a smile on my face and walked out.

There was a lady sitting on the couch with a brief case and clip board. She wore thick dimmed glasses and long burgundy hair fell down her back. She looked so beautiful. Kind of how I used to look.

"Hello Felix." She smiled.

"Hey...Mrs. Carter?" I asked. She nodded. This is the same lady that came three months ago.

"Fredrick was just telling me that you guys planned on going to a movie later." Mrs. Carted smiled. I looked at Duke and his eyes told me everything I needed to know.

"Mrs. Carter can I talk to you in private?" I asked. Her smile faded away and Duke burned a hole in my head.

"Sure. Lets go to your room. Maybe you could show me what it looks like." She said. I took one last look at Duke and disappeared into the back with Mrs. Carter.

Once we entered my small room she turned her nose up. No girl deserves to live the way I do.

"Sit." I patted the spot on the bed next to me.

"Is everything okay Felix?" She asked.

"No!" I said quickly.

"Every day and night I'm either sexually, verbally, mentally, or physically abused by Duke!" I said straight up. She looked so surprised.

"Really Felix?" She said in disbelief.

"Hell yes!" I started rubbing my face roughly to remove the make up. My bruised began showing clearly.

"He fucks me up Mrs. Carter!" I let a few tears fall. Her eyes got watery but she didn't cry.

"I thought I was pregnant because of that monster! Duke is the devil and you all gave me to him." I cried out. Mrs. Carter wrapped me in her arms.

"I believe every word that you're saying Felix. But you need proof that he's doing this." She cried.

"This isn't enough?!" I raised my shirt and showed her the purple bruise on my ribs. I then turned my back towards her and showed her the scratch marks.

"Felix please stay with him and get proof!" She begged. Is this bitch crazy?!

"Mrs. Carter! If I stay here that man will kill me and you will be guilty for the rest of your life!" I panicked. she stood up and that's when Duke came and stood in the doorway of my bedroom.

"I got to go." She said softly and walked past Duke.

"Please!" I begged. She kept walking and left. Duke stood there with his vanes popping out the side of his head. I'm a dead girl walking.
