Make It Last

Kingston  POV

     "Man chill out Jamie." "Why y'all over her anyways, you know you site with me everyday at lunch!" Jamie was really starting to irk my nerves. What's up y'all I'm Kingston Jamal Davidson. I'm the youngest of five kids. My parents died in a car crash months after they had me. My granny took us in, but she didn't live long. She passed after my tenth birthday. Lucky my oldest sister Addison was old enough to take us in. Her and my brother John had jobs and took care of Emily, Jason, and I. I was grateful that my sister didn't let us go into the system. We were doing good till she meet her dumb ass husband, Mark. He was good at first, showing us the side of the world that we never seen. He moved us out our small apartment into a nice house. I finally had my own room.

     After that his true colors began to show. He would yell for no reason, and he was always making us clean shit like we were his maids. Soon Jason left because they kept bumping heads. I wanted to go with him but Addy refuse to let me go. Emily and Jason were twins so once they finished high school they left also. I hated them for leaving me, but got over it once they started showing up more.

     My sister ended up having two kids by him, and he became more and more controlling. We couldn't do shit. Addy always had to ask him could she go places before she even left the house. I hated that shit. I was glad this was my last year because once I graduate, I was going and never turning back. I told her to pack up and leave, but she loved him, I guess. Said that one day he would change.

     School was over and I had got Bella number. She was cute, but wasn't my type. I liked girls that was outspoken like Jamie. We clicked our junior year and been rocking ever since. She said I was her first but I don't believe that one bit. She wasn't tight at all, but I let her believe that I believed her.

     It's crazy that Mrs. Lucky gave me the career that I had because I did sell drugs outside of school. I meet this dude name Leon and he got me jumped in. The worst day ever, I had bruises everywhere. I didn't go to school for about a week because I ain't feel like explaining shit to no one. I had enough money to get me a place once I was done with school. I was thinking on moving before then though. I walked in the house and everyone was sitting in the living room. It's sad when your own kids couldn't stand the ground that you walked on. I knew something was wrong because my sister was crying.

"Hey y'al- what's wrong Addy?" "Look we getting tired of taking care of you. Your old enough to make it on your own, you gotta go," Mark said once he heard my voice. "So y'all putting me out?" " Mark can we not do this. This is my baby brother I can't jus-" "Shut the fuck up Addison!" 

     "Don't talk to my sister like that, fuck wrong with you." By then I was ready to fight. In the beginning he used to beat my ass, but now he knew not to test me. "Kingston just..." She couldn't even finish her sentence.

     The look on her face told me everything. She choose him over me. I looked by the door and seen all my things packed. I couldn't believe this shit. I just got my things and went walking to the bus stop. I don't know where I was going to go. I had to be 18 to get an apartment and I wasn't there just yet. I was able to grab some of my things and walk to the bus stop down the street

     "You need a ride?" I looked up and seen Bella in her car in the middle of the street. I didn't want anyone to see me at my lowest point, but I wasn't about to turn down help. She got out and helped me place my things in her trunk and in her back seat. She even took me back to my sister place to get the rest.

     "You want to talk about it?" "My sister and her husband  put me out." I didn't want to sound hurt but I didn't have I choice I was hurt to the core. "You have anywhere to go, somewhere I can drop you off at?" "Nah not really, but I'll figure some out."
