I ran along the beautiful green grass. My hair in a high ponytail, a blue bow wrapped around it. I just ran
As I ran I didn't see a rock, and I tripped, scratching my knee.
I cried out holding my knee close to me.
She gasped, running over to me. She kneeled down in front of me. She reached out for me, but I scooted back, shaking my head.
"It's okay baby, let me see, she said worried.
I slowly let go of my knee. I winced as the cold air hit my scratch. I could see a little skin pulled half-way, as blood flowed down my leg. Tears ran down my cheeks.
"c'mere", she said.
I scooted back over, and she scooped me up in her arms, putting me in her lap. I rested my head against her chest.
"It's gonna be ok baby, she said rocking me on her lap.
"I love you"
"I love you too m-
I was woken up by loud banging.
"get out of here you hood rats", a voice yelled
I opened my eyes and saw the store owner with a bat.
"Get out of here", he yelled.
"Man shut the fuck up."
I looked over and saw Silvia standing, dusting herself off.
I got up, and realized it was day.
Shit over slept.
"GET OUT OF HERE", he yelled once again coming at us with the bat.
He swung nearly missing my head before I ducked.
"Okay damn!" I said backing up. "c'mon", I said gesturing for Silvia to come.
We started walking out from behind the building.
"And you better not come back", I heard the owner say behind me.
Silvia looked back and flipped him off. I rolled my eyes, grabbing her hand and pulling her away.
We walked out on the sidewalk.
"We fucking over slept", Silvia said frustrated.
"No kidding", I said
"Well what in the hell are we gonna do know", she yelled
"Ok, ok calm down I'm thinking", I said
She started rubbing her head, trying to let out some of the frustration.
I started rubbing my chin, trying to think of what to do.
Just go and tell on yourself! The hell I am! *sigh* you can be such a bitch sometimes! WHAT AM I GONNA DO!... There's only one thing to do…..
I sighed finally knowing what to do. I stopped, earning a confused look from Silvia.
"Listen", I said, I'll turn myself in, ok?"
"What, you can't just take all the blame, she replied shaking her head. "No, I won't let you"
"You have no choice, I said walking again. "You're right; you had nothing to do with it."
"Rose", she whispered.
I stopped and looked at her and saw she had a sad look.
I sighed and put my hands on her shoulder.
"Listen", I said softly, you know I'll be alright.
She shook her head.
"No, you won't", she said, remember last time."
I sighed
(Flashback)
The court of Compton vs. Rose Jones
I stood before a judge, in an orange suit. Handcuffs bound my hands in front of me.
"Rose", judge Randoff breath, you're in here again."
"Hey judge randoff", I said innocently. "I like your hair."
"Oh rose, don't give me that crap", he replied obviously not buying it.
I'm guessing because he was bald.
My smile faded as I looked down.
"What she in here for", the judge asked the security guard who was behind me.
"Caught beating down a girl on the street", the security guard replied.
"oh god", the judge said, please don't tell me it was a rawfian."
I lifted my head. "What you expect me to do-
"Did I tell you to talk", the judge cut me off.
I rolled my eyes, letting out a huff. "What a bitch', I mumbled.
"ey watch ya mouth", the judged almost yelled standing up.
I was trying desperately to hold back a laugh at that point. So I just bit my lip and put my head back down.
The judge sat back down.
"Who's here to defend ms. Jones, he asked after a moment of silence.
"I am", my lawyer said standing up.
He came up and stood beside me.
"whatsup my cuz",I said.
He shook his head whispering to me "stop"
"what happen man, I said, we used to be cool."
He ignored me and said.
"ur honor ms. Jones may seem to you an juvenile, but you don't understand. She's been through a lot in her life, and it all started when that man came into her room.
My breath caught in my throat.
"when that man k-
(Flashback over)
I shooked the feeling of that off.
"he let me off", I said trying to forget all the words he said.
"I know", Silvia said, but he also said if you come back, that would be the last time you see daylight."
Her face got sadder. "Then I wouldn't be able to see you again."
I sighed. "I won't go to jail"
"And how do you know she almost screamed
"Calm down, I said, I won't….. I promise."
I held out my pinky finger.
She rolled her eyes smiling.
"Pinky promise", I said poking out my bottom lip.
We connected our pinky fingers.
"I still think you're going to jail, but I'm just gonna walk away, she said.
I laughed.
"See ya" she said.
We parted ways. I started walking back to my aunt's house.
I walked up to my aunt's house. I was sweating and tired after such a long walk. All I wanted was sleep.
I opened the door, stepped inside, and tried to close the door as silently as possible.
I tip-toed and headed for the stairs. Before I could even get on one step I heard.
"Where in the hell have you been"
I let out an annoyed huff and turned and saw my aunt.
"We waited I don't know how long for you last night", she continued
I looked and saw my uncle standing behind her.
"Well where were you", she asked again
I sighed. "Why do you even care?"
"Excuse me', she said shocked.
"Oh please, you should know what I was doing, I said coldly and went up the stairs to my room.
I locked the door and fell out onto my large bed that was up against the wall where my window was.
I went up and put my arms around my pillow, resting my head. I dozed off into a comfortable sleep.
I saw roads of nothing. Dust all around.
"hello" I called out.
No one answered.
"hello" I called out again.
"Rose", a voice whispered behind me.
I turned and saw nothing.
Then all of a sudden someone started saying my name over and over again.
"what" I said, WHAT DO YOU WANT!
"ROSE", jumped up from my sleep at a loud knock on my door.
I looked out the window and saw it was night. I turned to my clock and it read 8:15.
I heard another knock.
I groaned and went to go answer it.
I unlocked the door and opened it only to my uncle.
"what", I said annoyed.
"can I talk to you", he asked softly.
"About what", I asked rudely yawning.
"Rose", he said.
I rolled my eyes and opened my door all the way so he could come in.
He went over and sat on the bed, I sat next to him.
"What do you want to talk about", I said trying to rub the sleep away from my eyes.
"I want to talk about you he said.
I looked at him confused. "What about me"
"About you and this gang you hang out with…., he paused trying to think of the name.
I rolled my eyes. "The smacks."
"Yeah the smacks, he said, I think-
"Ok listen I'm not in the mood for a lecture about "where I'm gonna be in four years' and "you need to stay in school" and blah blah blah, so you can just leave, I said cutting him off.
"I was just going to tell you, I think its ok, he said, but I guess I'll go. He got up and started walking to the door.
"Wait", I said stopping, you think its ok. I was really confused know.
"Yeah", he said simply. "As long as you don't kill anybody, it's ok with me."
I raised my eyebrow. "uuuum, well ok"
"Rose, he said, I think you are the baddest girl out there aren't ya.
I smiled. "Well maybe a little bit"
"ya know I was pretty bad in my day", he said.
I looked at him like he was crazy. "really"
"yeaah, when somebody looked at me wrong, I would go like this.
He ran at me and tackled me gently on the bed.
We both laughed our asses off
"Get off silly I said, trying to get up.
He just stared at me. Then did the unexpected.
He kissed me.
I pushed him off instantly.
"What are you doing", I said wiping his kiss away from my lips.
I started to get up but he pulled me back down kissing me.
"Stop-, I tried to scream, but he put a hand over my mouth.
"C'mon baby, you know you'll like it", he said.
His free hand started to roam my body, while he kissed my neck.
He started ripping my shirt, as I tried to push him of desperately.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING" I heard a voice yell in the door way.
He got off me quickly.
"Oh baby, uuuum we were just having a little fun", he replied trying to save himself.
I looked and saw it was my aunt.
I raced past her and down the stairs and out the door.
I ran as fast as I could. Not knowing where I was going, just running.
I stopped when I couldn't see the house anymore to catch my breath.
I started walking down the sidewalk, trying to get my thoughts straight.
What the fuck just happened! Can't even trust your own family members. GOSH! I need to get out of here. Then I remembered that one night when I was 3.
(Flashback)
"Hey baby"
"What are you doing in here?"
"You know your 4th birthdays coming up"
"Yeah!"
"Well I think I should give you your surprise early"
"Really, what is it?"
"No, no, no, she said that's bad"
"Oh she's just lying, here touch it."
"It feels weird"
"I know but I can make it feel good"
(Flashback over)
I held back tears in my eyes as I tried to shake the feeling of his hands on me.
I looked out. It was a dark night. Not even the stars were out, but the night still amazed me at how beautiful it could be.
I was shook from my daze from lights behind me.
I turned and saw a car with its headlights on behind.
I didn't really think anything of it and started walking again.
When I still felt the light on me I turned again and saw the same car.
When the headlights turned off, I was scared.
But when a gun came out the window, I was terrified.
"Shit", I said as I took off running.
I heard it speed up behind me firing shots. I started ducking and dodging bullets.
I saw a fence ahead of my and quickly climb up and jump over it.
The car just sped through it, breaking it, firing more shots.
I saw an alley that a car would never be able to go through.
I turned and ran in it. I saw lights and ran out the other side. A car pulled up in front of me. I thought my life was over for a second, but when I saw eve in the front seat and Silvia in the back. I was finally able to breathe.
I opened the door and got in the passenger's seat.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks", I said.
"No prob",Eve said as she started to drive off.
"Didn't you hear", I heard Silvia said.
"Hear what", I asked looking at her.
"Chris got a hit out on you", Eve said.
"Shit", I replied,hitting the seat.
"Damn girl relax", Eve said, I know exactly where to go."
CLIFFHANGER! PS. I WILL START UPDATING AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME FRIDAY….MAYBE EVEN SOONER.
