Flipped?

chapter 1

     * TINK!*  as i'm jogging through the bases everyone is cheering. I cant help but smile though, everyone cheering for me felt pretty good. Even though it wasn't like a big deal because I had hit 3 over the fence home runs in the last inning, it still felt good to hear everyone cheer my name... well mainly just my mom. My mom never goes to ANY of my softball games shes always way to busy with work, and if she does show up its like the last five minutes of the game.  As I get back into the dugout I heard my coach say " good job once again slugger!" I smile at him. My coach Scott is like my dad in a way, hes always been there for me, bought me stuff I needed for softball, given me advice when I needed it, and was understanding when I would get upset on the field. You see my biological father has never really been there for me, so its been nice to of had Scott since I was in the fourth grade. 

  " Hey mom, did you see my home runs?" I knew she had I could hear her screaming from second base.  " Yeah sweetie they where amazing!  I had no idea how good you are." I wanted to say so badly " well you would've if you actually payed attention to it for the years i've been playing!!" But i decided no to. I get it she has to work so she can pay the bills, for my softball, and for everything we need, but its just hard sometimes seeing everyone else's parents there and to not have my mom there. 

     When we get home I go straight to my room and start on my home work. As i'm writing my History paper my mom calls for me. 

              " Savannah ! Niya is here ?!" 

I look at my phone to see what time it is and its 11:36 pm. I got worried and ran downstairs. its not like her to just show up at my house like this, this late. As I get to the door she looks scared. 

" Niya what are you doing here ?" 

  " Savannah I need to talk to you! NOW!"  

      we went upstairs to my bedroom and sat on the bed. 

" Niya you have to tell me what happened."

  " Well you know how my mom has a new boyfriend right? well he... he...

tears started to run down Niya's face. I could tell that she was crying on the way over here, but didnt say anything. 

" Niya what is it, what did he do."

  " He.. he.. *sniffs* he tried to rape me..."

               I was trying so hard not to cry. I had to be strong for her. she needed my right now.  I hugged her and didn't let go for what seemed about one second, but it was really ten minutes. After i walked out of the room to my moms room. 

     " hey mom.. do you think that Niya could spend the night? she really needs me right now."

         " sure sweetie... is everything okay?"

            "No, but it will be... eventually."

        when i get back into my room i grab some pajamas out of my dresser because i noticed she is still wearing the same thing she did to my game. i grabbed her my dark blue pajama bottoms with the pizzas all over them, and a black tank top. After she puts them one we lay down in my queen bed, and i just let her cry on me. Around 2:00 am we fall asleep. 

       I woke up in the morning to the sound of the alarm on my phone going off for school days. When I look at the phone it says  05:45 am. I could tell it woke up Niya too. 

         " Good Morning, I'm sorry about the alarm." I said. 

          " Its alright. I was already awake." 

     I got out of bed and went in the bathroom to shower. As I turned on my music Niya walked in. 

       " here, ill pick the music." she said. 

       '' ight.'' and i got in the shower. 

         She put on " if it aint love", " Back to sleep",  '' Summer Sixteen" , '' LIKE I WOULD'', and then " company.''
