OMG. I can't believe someone other than cam knows about my story. I can't believe I told thee jack gilinksy about something so sacred to me. Like I said before no one but cam knows, not even my best friend knows . And that for real means something. I brush off my thoughts and I unlock my phone. Haven't been on my phone for a minute, sooo hmmm what's going on in life nowadays? I hop on Twitter, and I see the fuckery in which that Sam twitted. "Can't wait to spend the weekend with my lovely girl ;)."
What the fuck did he mean by that, he better be talking about me, because who the hell is this lovely girl the fuck ? Mmm he already found someone I see ? Woah, I sound crazyyyy but, hmm okay, two can play at this game. I mean she might be pretty, but she's not me. I say trying to hype myself up and at the moment I really think I'm doing a good job at it, so I calm down and think, it could actually be me, it could be, there is a slim chance that he's talking about me. He shouldn't subtweet, he should just @ me, to avoid confusion you know ;) I smile, but I quickly get real with myself, my heart sinks into my chest, who could he actually, possibly be talking about ? Am I not good enough, did he find someone better, someone good enough for him ? I hate this, I hate this insecure ass shit I go through everyday. I'm not never what anyone wants, heck I wouldn't be surprised if jack didn't want me too. But whatever, I ponder off from that subject. Ou, that reminds me, I have to tell Sam that whatever we have or had can't go on anymore, not that it seems to matter. But seriously, how could he move on that fast , I almost died a few hours ago, and he's literally already "over" me, well that's what it looks like. Wtf what a douche face. I thought he was genuinely sweet, and different from all of the others. But he hasn't even stopped by to check up on me, not once, since I got home, nope not even once. But it's okay because now that I "have" jack , everything that I want and more is "coming true", I close the dumb app, ugh I'm so heated right now. I go on Spotify, and I go to my saved albums, and press Anti-diary. Commercial, commercial, & one last commercial, then boom a song comes on. The song that comes on is "never ending" (by Rihanna). Which is perfecttt by the way, I think sarcastically in my head, a slow depressing ( but good ) song comes on. way to end my night , because this will totally cheer me up. Perfect, just perfect. I blast it up louder. "drug and a dream A lost connection, oh, come back to me So I can feel alive again As soul and body try to mend.It's pulling me apart, this time Everything is never-ending I slipped into a parallel They'll never understand This feeling always gets away Wishing I could hold on longer Why does it have to feel so strange To be in love again, be in love again, be in love again?"
I started to feel an emotional wave hit me, why would I be this sad, if I wanted to end things with him ? I mean I have jack now, and he's all that I need now, right ? My thoughts became overwhelming, and I press pause on my thoughts and I stop there, i stopped all further thinking, and I pause the song too, I decided it was time for me to rest, I tuck my phone under my pillow and I began to fall asleep. I love sleep, my life has a tendency to fall apart when I am awake. Yes! My luck, it starts pouring rain, and the sounds are so soothing, the sound of rain has always calmed me down. This rain is really calming my nerves thank god. I love, love, love rainy days, there so good to me. I began to fall into a deep REM sleep. When I tell you I have to be fully rested for tomorrow, I am not lying. I know for sure , a lot of shit is bound to happen.

I ride back home, and it starts to pour. I turn up views by drake, and bump to the music all the way home. I get home, and the lights are still turned on. It's almost 2am. What could possibly be going on this late at night ? I step into my house and the first thing i fucking hear as I enter is "YOU FUCKING SLUT." That's not going to fly, my mom will not get disrespected under this roof, or anywhere. I'm the man of the fucking house I don't care what my ole man has to say. This dude is intoxicated again, and my mom is on the couch crying over this low life. You know when Kali told me about her story today, I was really happy, to see that she could trust me with such vital information. It felt good. I liked how she and I weren't so different after all. We both know how it feels to be unnoticed and unwanted by our parents. My old man is an idiot drunk, and my mom is scared to leave him. I can relate to Kali on so many levels, and I'm happy we relate on something. "Chill out dude." I yell back at his stupid ass running inside as fast as I could. I grab my moms wrist away from the couch and lead her upstairs to her room, direct her inside, and I lock her inside. I don't ever want an incident to occur where he ends up hitting her. She's my rock, and I'd kill him if dare touches her. Or my precious siblings. My dad rushes up the stairs and he pushes past me. He starts banging on the door, "sweetie, baby, I'm sorry I didn't mean what I said down there." He yells. "You need to fucking leave the house now, like for god sake how many times are we going to fucking go through this? Cmon dude." I said "fuck off boy , this ain't none of your got damn business. Let the grown ups talk dammit." He says slurring his words. "You're not the man of the house, you're just a little bitch, like your sorry as moth--" I swing and sock my father in the face before he finishes , he stumbles back and falls on his ass. He slowly pushes himself up, and regains most of his strength, he doesn't have very much that guy, he swings but misses by a lot. What a fucking dipshit he is, he can't fight to save his life either. I could care less at the moment if I knocked this bitch the fuck out. I lift my arm in a swinging motion and I stop. I see my baby sister, and brother peeking through the door right next to me. I don't want them to see this, they shouldn't witness something this violent, even though this could teach them to fight for what they believe in but not in this manner. I run over to them "hey guys, do bubba a reallyy GINORMOUS favor and lock this door reallll tight behind me aight!" I say in a worried tone, I'm really worried about their safety right now, and that goes for my mom too. "Bubba will be back any second, I just gotta go handle something important okay?"
I see them in their pjs ready for bed, geez this has been going on for too long, it's way past their bedtime. "And then I'll read you guys a story of your choice before bed, does that sound good to you ?" I say in a patronizing comforting tone, and I smiled a fake but genuinely convincing smile. "Okay," they speak in unison. They don't deserve to live in this type of environment. But being the good kids they are they listen well to my instructions and do exactly as I told them. They aren't like other brat, complicated kids, not even close, don't get me wrong I love kids, you don't have a choice but to love them, they hold the future of the world in their hands; you could be holding the next president for all you know. I turn around, and this man, I don't like to call him my father a lot as you can tell, because why should I? Given the reason he's a sicko. Anyways back to the point , he has something in his hands, I can't make it out to be what is, i think it's a vase? I don't know what it is and I sure as hell don't care. But come on fight a fair fight old man. Whatever, Im just really worried about moving out of the freaking way, but there's no where I can go so I don't even bother to move, it was too late anyways. The ole man chucks it right in my face, this foreign object right in my face ! My beautiful, beautiful ass face smh, anywhere but the face dude. This face can only get me so far in life lol. I focus back in and I remember I got hit, I feel dizzy, and I sure ass hell can't stand straight, I try taking steps, but I'm hopelessly wobbling . I fall face down. He kicks me, he punches me, and he repeats the motions. Then this faint white color appears out of nowhere , it then slowly starts to go pitch black. I think I'm blacking out, ha what? This is a first.... THUMP! I get pushed over the edge of the stairs. I fall aggressively down the hard wood stairs. I think I'm on the verge of blacking out? My mind goes black. Oh, greattt I just got knocked tf out. This old mans sick for doing this to me, for knocking me out cold. I hear yelling, but no hitting sounds so that's good , the voices become faint, they turn into whispers, it then all goes away. I feel nothing, hear nothing. And, I'm here on the ground left with nothing but a bit of my dignity left.
{Fast forwarding to the morning}
*Poke, poke, poke* I wake up the following morning to fingers aggressively poking the hell out of me as I'm lying in bed, and on top of that a killer headache. Wait, how did I get here? I ask myself. I stretch, I rub my head, and my eyes too, i widen my eyes as much as I can, so I can clearly see who or what is poking me, I see these small figures appear. Ugh this light is killing me I sidetrack. Those figures belong to my baby sister and baby bro, who are both poking me, snickering with the biggest smiles on their faces. "Bubba, bubba, wake uppp." My brother John says. I look over to my alarm clock. "It's 11:00am guys, what are you doing up this early?" I look over to the both of them and pick them both up, and slowly tackle them onto my bed, I'm sore but I start tickling, and play fighting them. All is good. But I then notice that my sisters laugh started to fade, and her smile slowly starts to die down, it hurts to see that something is troubling Sarah. I stop tickling her, but I still tickle my brother on the other side, so they both share my undivided attention. I need to get to the root of this. I ask her "what's got you down Sarah, talk to me babygirl." She replys "did our daddy hurt you last night ?" She says in a heart breaking soft tone. She starts tearing up. I hold her close. "No, no, no he didn't baby, it's okay, it's okay, shhh don't worry about me I'm fine. I'm a big boy okay, we never get hurt or pushed around. He will never hurt me, or anyone in this house for that matter, because he's gonna have to go through me okay? And I'm going to protect you guys with everything I've got in me." I say smiling, I kiss her forehead for what seems like forever. Man. They need to leave this house and get away for a bit, And I got an idea, they need to chill at granny's crib. "Okay, guys I think it'll be good for you guys to stay at granny's for just this weekend. So start getting ready for grandmas house." I made a list and give them the list, it lists the things they need to leave with before walking out the house. They jump off my bed, and run off, they're fast asf.
"I trust that you'll pack everything you need from the list alright ?!" I shout. I decided it would be best for them if they didn't stay here. Oh,Shittt. That makes me think, I've gotta start packing for nash's place too. I walk into my walk-in closet and pick out all the shit in going to take with me, my backpack, trunks, my Calvin boxer briefs, tank top, a shirt, a pair of shoes, and basketball shorts. I get my other shit I need. I pack light. I hear two loud knocks from where I'm standing and the door swings open. Damn these kids. I lean over and see my siblings in front of my doorway; with their suitcases fully loaded, one Spider-Man, the other Cinderella. That was quick. lol they make me laugh. We travel downstairs, these kids are hyped and ready, I can tell by the giggles and them jumping three stairs at a time, we pass the living room to head inside the kitchen. We sit at the island where everything is prepared. We eat the breakfast my very appreciated mother made. I walk over to my mother "mom about last night ..." She kisses me on my forehead "Thanks about last night, and it's okay I'm fine baby, don't you ever worry about me that's my job." She pauses and looks into my eyes. "You know, to worry about my beautiful kids." She says smiling. "But your no kid jack" she says letting out a small laugh. "My baby, you're all big now, your going to have leave me soon, wow; you really need to stop growing up so fast." She pauses again, and places her hand on my face. "Man. you turned out okay, you turned out just fine, you really did jack. Your nothing like your father okay ? Your a real man, twice the man he is. And I couldn't be more proud of you." She smiles. How could she be smiling right now ?
"Thanks mom, and its no problem, but it's hard not to worry mom.." I pause for a sec. Where is he by the way ? Where is the man, he better not still be here. "What are we going to do about dad ?" I ask bluntly. "He's not staying in this house anymore.. Um I-I uh kicked him out for good.. For good this time." She responds, her voice cracking, I'm sad to see that this is effecting her, I truly feel for her. This has been the best news I've heard all week though, and a lot of good has happened to me lately, like Kali. I smile a smile to reassure her she's fine. "Sounds good, but hey mom I'm taking the kids to grandmas, I think it'll be good for them to start over for a little while, and I'll be picking them up on Sunday, and I'm also going to stay at a friends place this weekend too, so you could have your time alone ." I tell her, "thanks!" She says faking her excitement a lil, she's happy but not so much. "That's great, but who's this friend I hear?" She comments. "Aahaha mom it's just Nash don't worry, I'll be fine. We won't party too hard." I say cracking a joke. She grabs my hand and nods while smiling. "I love you baby." She says to me . "You guys have fun okay ?" She says walking over to my siblings. She's kisses them, and walks away. She leans over the counter . I can now see she's really sad. She buries her face in her hands. I walk over and put my hand on her shoulder. I know my mom, it takes a while for her to come back around but I Know she'll be fine, we'll all be fine. We finish eating and we say our love you's and we say our goodbyes. I hug her to let her know I'm always there for her. She follows us out to the doorway, and she waves with the napkin she had in her hand. "Call me if you need anything." I shout, poking my head out the window. "I'll be fine, have fun and tell grandma I said hi, love you guys!" She says fast because I start moving the car out the driveway. I drive out on the road. I put my hand out the window and wave as me and the kids shout "love you too." together. I pop my hand back inside from the window and roll them up. My siblings are in the car, and we're bopping (kids bopping it because you know how it goes down in mr.g's car ya feel) to the songs on the stereo, and we have a great time. I love them so much and I would do anything for them. I get to grandmas big ass house, and I drop them off , I see grandma and I wave, I tell her mom said hey. I air kissed them, waved , and drove off. Now off to Nash's house.
*Ring ring *
Unknown caller. I pick up my phone, answer it, put it on speaker and set it back down. "Hi." I recognized the sweet familIar voice. It's Kali. "Wassup." I say. "Are you heading down to Nash's place right now ?" She asks. "Yeah I am actually, I guess I'll meet you there huh ?" I raise my voice a little so she can hear me good. "Alright cool, see you then !" She says and hangs up. I smirk.

I wake up, and start packing for Nash's place. Doctors orders were to stay only at home, but fuck the rules, when do teenagers ever follow them ? I call jack to see what he was doing, he's heading to Nash's, and soon I will be too. Im getting ready but I am slowed down because I bump into in cam in the hallway. "Ouch boy, incoming almost dead person, remember ?" I say sarcastically. "HA" cam says back in a sarcastic tone. "I plan on driving my car down there alone. "Okay I'm going to drive to Nash's and we're going to meet there." I grab my keys and all of a sudden I feel cam grab them out of my hands. "Cmon dude seriously ?" Cam says in an attitude. "Cam what is your problem?" I say. My problem is I can't trust you, last time I let you walk out this door, I almost lost you." he gets quiet. "Cool, do whatever, you can even drive me okay ? I wanna spend time with you anyways. But look cam you're going to have to let me go sooner or later. I'm not the little girl I was back then. You can trust that everything is going to be alright. Nothing is going to get in between us. You and I.. Against the world buddy." I say poking his side over and over. His face lights up and he smiles, "okay idiot lets ride out."
