Early the next morning, at house after they got home from the hospital.
Nobody's P.O.V
"Where were you?" Letty asked her mom as she sat down on the couch after arriving home from the hospital.
"Please Letty" Kim said still in tears from the news she heard less then and hour ago. "Can we do this later I need some sleep?"
"You should of be here!" Letty yelled
Kim didn't answer she just sighed and look down at the ground.
"We needed you" Letty whispered barley loud enough for her mom to hear. "I needed you! Quincy needed you and you were nowhere to be found!" Letty screamed.
"I know, I'm sorry Let but I'm going to try harder, I promise." Kim pleaded to her daughter.
"It's a little late for that don't you think? Quincy and Tali are both gone and I'm probably going to be next! Both times you weren't there, when I needed you most... Why? Why do you hate me so much? " Letty said letting more tears fall from her eyes, it had been along time since Letty cried but tonight she could seem to keep her tears in.
"I don't hate you baby, how could you think that?"
"How could I not? Before you had Adriana you didn't care about any of us, you were always off partying with your friends leaving us alone to fend for ourselves. If it wasn't for papa god knows were we'd be!"
"What do you mean thank god for papa? It's not like he's been the best dad, he's always gone and he lies to you constantly!"
"But at least he cares! He's always helping me and buying me things, he pays for everything we have so you can stay home with us, but you just blow all the money he give to us on you and your stupid friends! Besides papa wouldn't do anything to hurt me and he loves me unlike you! Sure I might not see him as much as I would like to but he works so we can have a better life. All you care about is yourself, You never cared about me or papa, you never cared about Quincy or Tali or even Alaina, the only person that you ever cared about is yourself!" Letty yelled, saying for the first time in a long time how she felt about her parents.
Kim was hurt by her daughters words and slapped her across the face. "If I'm such a horrible person Letty why don't you go live with your amazing father." She yelled storming up the stairs.
"Fine I will!" Letty screamed up to her mom still holding face where she had been slapped.
Letty's P.O.V
I went up to my room to try and sleep but when I walked in I saw blood. My floor was covered in my brother blood. I started crying again and memoriesfrom earlier this morning popped into my head. I saw the man he was on top of me, he was hurting me, then I saw him sitting on top of Quincy plunging the knife into his body. The memory scared me and I ran into Quincy's room crying. I laid across his bed, curled myself into a ball, and covered my whole body with his blankets. I stayed like that for awhile until I cried myself to sleep.
I woke up hours later with a pounding headache and my eyes were burning for all the crying I had done. I got out of Quincy's bed and headed to the bathroom to get some Ibuprofen out of the medicine cabinet. When I was walking to the bathroom I over heard my mom talking on the phone with someone.
"You need to take her, I can't handle her attitude right now."
...
"Please Marshall, I'm not stable right now I just lost my son."
...
"I know your busy but she needs you right now just as much as I need you to take her."
...
"Thanks, I owe you. I'll talk to you later about the details."
...
"Alright, Bye."
I couldn't see her when she was on the phone but after she hung up she came over and sat on the edge of her bed and started to cry. I felt bad, I hated to see my mom sad but I wasn't going to apologize to her because I meant what I said. I started to walk up to her room quietly so she wouldn't hear me but before I got to the door she walk over the her night stand and picked up a small bottle. She opened the bottle and poured what looked to be at least six pills in her hands. She sat back down on her bed and shoved all of them into her mouth. I guess she saw me because she quickly stood up and shut the door in my face.
I went back into Quincy's room and laid in his bed silently for the rest of the day. When I woke up the next morning My dad was at the house and they were loading bags into a taxi.
I stood there watching my mom put bags into the taxi and I wasn't sure if I was going away or if she was.
"Hey baby girl." My dad said from behind and he kissed the top of my head causing me to jump.
I felt uncomfortable when he kissed me, It wasn't weird because he always did but I just didn't want to be touched by him or anyone for that matter.
"Hey papa" I said quietly
He turned me toward him and then bent down to my level. "How would you feel about missing a week of school and coming back to Detroit with me."
"Would I still get to stay with you during break next week?"
"Of course, so what do you say? Will you come back to Detroit with me sweetie?"
I shook my head yes then he pulled me into a hug.
"Te quiero niña" (I love you baby girl.)
"Te quiero demasiado Papa" (I love you too papa)
