Chapter Nine
Ebony and Bray were in her car for what seemed like forever. They talked about everything from their relationship to school and everything else. "I do want a relationship with you but I got out of REAL bad commitment with my ex. He was just too controlling and well I don't want to jump into another relationship so early". Bray looked disappointed, "Well how long ago did you two break up"? Ebony looked at him and lowered her head, "The day I met you". Bray had a look of amazement on his face after Ebony finished her last statement. "Did you break up because of me"? Ebony denied but he could tell that she was lying. "Well I understand how you feel and I am willing to wait as long as I have to because I want to be with you.". Ebony let out a sigh of relief as Bray grabbed her hand. "Thank you Bray". They kissed before Bray exited her car. He walked around the other side before she drove off, "What was your ex's name"? Ebony gazed at him wondering why he asked that question, "Zoot, why"? Bray shrugged, "I just wanted to know". Ebony giggled as she drove off.
When Ebony got back home she had to face her parents who were sitting on the couch when she walked in the door. Her mother looked up at her, "Where have you been. Java told us that you hit her and then she said you stormed out like a bat out of hell. What has gotten into you"? Ebony grunted in disgust, "Look, I am sorry that I ran out and pushed her BUT she deserved it. She is always sticking her nose in other peoples business and never minding her own, she needs to leave well enough alone"! Her parents sat there amazed at Ebony's outburst, "You are NOT going to yell at us like we are your friends. You do not lay a hand on your sister and the part about her minding your business, well, she is supposed to, she is your big sister and she is just looking out for you and your well being". Ebony yelled, "ARGH!!!! I CAN'T STAND HER OR THIS HOUSE!!! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE"!!! Ebony stormed out once again and slammed the door behind her. She got into her car and sped off as Java glared out of her window. "It's not over yet".
Ebony drove and drove into the late hours of the night. She had a lot on her mind and she just needed some release. She decided to go to Salene's house and stay the night. When she got there it was 2:50am. Ebony walked around to Salene's bedroom window and tapped on it. "Salene! Salene!" she whispered. Salene got up and opened the curtains to see Ebony standing there. Salene opened the window, "Ebony? What are you doing here? Do you know what time it is"? Ebony began to climb into the window, "I left my house. My parents jumped down my damn throat because I went out to Lex's party without permission and because I hit Java and she ran and told like a little b–" Salene stopped Ebony before she finished her sentence, "Well Ebony you can stay here for a while, I think you still have some clothes that you left over here". "Thanks Sal, I really appreciate it". Salene climbed back into bed and Ebony took the recliner in her room. "What are friends for Eb"? They giggled and then fell asleep.
