Follow love and it will flee , flee love and it will follow
I woke up to birds chirping and the smell of bacon . I sat up rubbing my eyes . The last thing I could remember was walking to my room changing out my clothes before going back to sleep . After washing my face and brushing my teeth , I jogged downstairs to see Mrs and Mr . Parker cooking . Power of Love by Luther Vandross played on the big speaker .
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
"Fat face is up ." I heard Avery deep voice from behind me before get shoved a little . The both of them turned their attention toward the two of us with bright smiles on their faces . "Good morning Trinity , I already called Nancy ." I smiled nodding my head before heading over to the kitchen table . Avery sat in front of me with a smirk on his face .

He glanced over at his parents to see if they were looking before lightly smacking my left cheek . "Ouch ! Punk ." I wimped mugging him . Being nineteen , only two years older than me I would expect more from this his big ass baby . "My nigga Dee is throwing a kickback tonight ." He said leaning back in his chair staring at me with a now solid face .
"And you're telling me this because ?"
He rolled his eyes before running his hands over his face . "I want you to come with me , I know things been crazy lately and I think you should get out ." Mrs . Parker placed a plate full of pancakes , bacon , sausages , and eggs onto the glass table while Mr . Parker gave us some OJ . Taking a seat , we prayed over the food before eating . I need to make a call to my cousin RJ .

"And you must be Ms . Trinity , I heard so much about you ." Mrs . Parker's brother Dorian smiled showing his mouth full of braces . He surely can catch this case with ya girl . I turned to Mrs . Parker unsure of how to feel , I was forced to come here . "You'll be fine , Avery coming to pick you up once it's over with ." She whispered handing me fifty dollars before leaving out the building . Following him to a large room that held eight adults and at least forty teens from thirteen to nineteen .
"You can take a seat ." He pointed over to the crowd of kids before walking off to a light skin pregnant woman before wrapping his arms around her . It's always the good looking ones who are taken ; I thought slowly walking over to a seat beside some white girl . "You look like you don't want to be here either ." She said cutting her eyes over at me once I sat down . "You either ?"
She shook her head pulling out her phone . "I'm Akari, but go by Key ."
"Akari ?" I didn't mean to sound rude but , she's white .
"I'm half Japanese and white ." I nodded my head as she gave me a weird look before laughing . "Amber but I go by Trinity ."

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen , today we are going to talk about sex . Can someone raise their hand and tell us what are pros and cons of doing it ." A tall slim white lady said walking across the room before picking Key to talk . "You can get pregnant or catch STD ." She smacked on her gum playing with her curls .
"You are right . I know most of ya'll are active and I'm not about to nag you about it ; but always wear protection ."
"But you can't feel nothing when ya in it ." A voice from the right side of the room . Glancing over to who said it , he was a tall brown skin boy with curly hair and brown eyes . Key rolled her eyes standing up from her seat . "So I guess you don't mind burning every time you pee ." The whole room busted into a fit of laughter and ow's . "That's enough Key and Dee ." The lady looked between the two of them . Dee sucked his teeth while Key sat back down .
"Ya'll know each other or sum ?" I questioned talking about the boy I guess is Dee . "Demarcus ? He's my step brother . His father is married to my mom and we have a baby brother named Dejuan who's turning eight next month ." That explains everything .

"Dee and his older brother Demonte throwing this kickback , you should come ." Remembering Avery telling me about some party and that it might be the same one I decided to go . After exchanging numbers , the program was over and they were having another one next Friday .
"How was it ?" Avery cheesed at me turning the radio down . "Okay , I met a new friend ." He nodded his head before pulling off onto the main road .
