Reminisce

Chapter 28

Jalen p.o.v

I had already knew when her dad didn't come at the time he always did he wasn't coming to get her

It all didn't add up to me why today why would he leave his 4 year old daughter to take care of herself

I don't know whats wrong with him but I won't let hope live the life I do

I may only be 6 but Im ahead of my time trust me she will live the best life as possible

When we left the school with ms.monroe she didn't speak or most likely wanna do anything

All I could do right now was hold her hand through the pain I know this is a lot for her to handle but she gone be strong about this

When she crys it makes my heart melt and drop to the bottom of my chest

We finally pulled up to the house and got out and she looked scared to go in

I whispered in her ear "Everything gonna be okay Im here Ima always be here with you Ima always protect you" she nodded and continued to walk into the house

When we got in we all had got everything together and put our stuff down in rooms

Ms.Monroe p.o.v

This is such a sad situation to see hope go through

He called me to meaning her dad saying tell Hope he loves her and then the line cut just like that

I knew sooner Jalen would bring her to my room and we would have another member to the family

They may not be blood and I may not be there mom but I will give them all the love and care they need

Jalen heart has been broken since I meet him I could see right through him

He didn't look happy like all the other little boys that would come into class

He seemed broken and sad a lot of the times and he would keep his emotions inside and share them with no one

All I could do was show him That some one cares for him and loves him

He would always come in sad, Beaten, and broken everyday he would come to school

Each year of a new day of the school year he would always come into class with the same shoes and clothes from last year or last last year

Until one day he open up to me he shared with me who broke his heart and what was going on with him

His mom and dad broke his heart his mother is a dead beat and never cared about him which broke my heart the things she did to him

Then his father broke his heart since day one he never really did care about Jalen from the start

I just wanna be there for him so he could make something out of himself and be a better person

I know what he does with the adults and boys in his neighborhood thats why Im trying to get him to stop it all

Looking at his face today I didn't say anything I knew one thing he was staying away from his mother for some weeks

He just always went back thinking he could change her and get her to love him like he always wanted her to

I see hope brings out the happiness in him and there only 4 and 6 years old

There goes that young love there to young to know that there Already soul mates and they love each other dearly

The first day of school I saw it in Jalen's eyes it was something Special about her even though it was his first time meeting her

There gonna make it and they will both be fine they bring out the joy and hope in each other and thats all they need to keep going

Hope p.o.v

My brain was still trying to figure out what was going on while my heart hurt and already knew what was going on

It hurt soo much but I was done crying my eyes out about this it wasn't worth it or was it

I kept questioning myself about everything was he just lying about everything he ever told me

I remember the day he took me in when I was nothing but some months old

I remember that day like it was yesterday when my other mom was still around then when my new mom held me and saved me

I know Im not suppose to remember stuff like that and only be months old but I do I remember everything

I Remember my other mom when she would talk to me even though I couldn't understand her and make me laugh while she would say it in a little baby voice

Who would have thought it would have been the last time for me seeing the both of them

I don't know what is true anymore I just don't know anything anymore

You wanna talk about it baby Jalen said Out of nowhere

How did he know I was thinking about something He just always knows when something is bothering me

All I did was nod my head and walk over to where he was to sit next to him

I was only 4 years old and Jalen was a little older than me but we were being treated like we were adults to our parents at such an young age

I sat down and just looked at the floor for a while until he spoke up

Stop looking at the floor and lets get this stuff off your chest

I started to cry again for some reason I don't know why but Im just a big cry baby

Listen to me baby your gonna be okay I promise you that always remember that I don't know why he would do this to you and whats wrong with him but you have me I will always be here to pick you up when you fall, help you when your hurt, and smile with you when your just happy because that brightens my day just to see you smile

Thank you *giggles* You just read my mind again you took everything I was thinking and made me feel so much better Thank you Jalen for that

I just started to laugh a lot again nothing was funny but I just laughed

Whats funny baby girl He said

We are only 4 and your a little older than me but we act like were ahead of our time

I know baby girl but maybe we just are and Im happy Im ahead of my time with you I wouldn't want it to be with Anybody else

It was you that day wasn't it I looked at him

Yess it was lil mama took you forever to just say your name but I knew we would meet into each other again

I just looked up at him with the biggest smile ever and just hugged him because me and him both need it

While we were hugging his hands went to my butt like alway typical Jalen

Jalen you always have to turn a beautiful convo into a nasty one

All he did was laugh and kiss my cheek and got up and held my hand

Come on baby girl so Ms.monroe can fix my face up so after that we can eat and go to sleep

Jalen can I lay in the bed with you tonight pretty please

Of course baby You can anytime you want

We hugged one last time and were off to ms.monroe's room
