once I got my strength back I slipped my crocs on. I began to wash my face staring at myself in the mirror

why couldn't I be happy...

"you ready?" he asked as I nodded

he held my bags as we left out the house her boyfriend had stopped me

"take this." he handed me a stack of money with a lump in the middle which happened to be a pill

I shook my head holding onto Kari's hand as we left out

Kari hadn't said anything else to me until we got in the car

"how long you been taking them shits?" he asked me sitting back in the driver seat

I didn't respond I just played with the jibbizt on my crocs

"I asked you a question," he said getting mad

"don't remember..." I lied

I knew exactly when I started if I had told him, he'd probably kill both of us in this car

"whatever Mercedes I'm taking you to the crib."

watching the rain hit the window I sighed knowing the ride wasn't gonna be too long








September 4th...

two months later...

"Moni grab those last bags out the closet and hand them to your brother." my pops said to me as we unpacked the groceries

"Okay well I'm about to go out," I told him passing by Bakari, my older brother

He looked me up and down examining my outfit then shaking his head

"Change your shirt." was all he told me before going back in his room

I mumbled myself to the room and found a longer top. My outfit wasn't bad I had jeans and a gray tank top that was cut short that hid under my sweater

This nigga sucks mad dick

I changed quickly than fixed my hair again making sure I was straight

After cleaning my bed up I took the money and wallet sitting on my dresser leaving the crib

"soon as the street lights come on" my pops yelled from the window

"Ight!" I hollered back rolling my eyes

My phone buzzed making me huff and look at it

Kari😒

Be back @8

I left him on reading and walked towards the park seeing a few familiar faces, even though I wasn't going to hang out with anyone I still wanted to be out of the house

Making it to the park I went to the bench I usually sit at and got comfortable opening up my journal. This was my third time switching homes and honestly, I was tired of it
