Because Of One Decision

Finding a New Home -May 10, 2018

After telling my "parents" all about my situation Emeline is acting more like a child than usual or when she is being an adult she is just judging me, because of this I have been out of the house with the kids as much as possible

'Layla! " she yells from the kitchen to the backyard where I was watching the kids play in my old treehouse, she walks outside with a cup of cheap wine and a cigarette between her lips

"So what do you want from me or are you just here to say something about me?" I ask with a slight irritation in my voice because she would never talk to me or ask for me unless she wanted something or to crisis me

I see a small smirk spread across her lips but her eyes held a serious look "Well yes and no, I'm here to make a deal with you"

"What deal are you wanting to make?" feeling my heart increase a little from worry because I know how twisted she can get, Hell that was the only thing I got from her was how she could almost make a deal about anything and win

"Well a simple one either you pick one of my amazing choices about that thing growing inside you or you move out the second you start showing so ruffle three months and you never come back here," she says as if she already knows she won

"That's not a deal okay that's forcing someone to do something they don't want to, I'm not going to hurt my child because you think it's wrong!" I snap at her, walking back to the kids

Taking the kids into the house I set them on my floor letting them play so I have time to think about what I'm going to do or more importantly where am I going?

Letting out a long sigh do to me getting frustrated with what I have gotten myself into, Looking at the clock it reads three til six stand up I go to make the twins their dinner and put them to bed.

Getting ready to go talk to someone, not wanting to be in this house much longer seeing as I don't have much time before I'm homeless I better start looking. see the time being seven, I pack a quick overnight bag already knowing I'm not going to get home until after school tomorrow.

Texting Tino for a ride so I don't have to deal with people, waiting for the Bing of my phone I read the response and it wasn't the one I wanted "Sorry can't be drinking"

Growling I walk into the kitchen going out the back door.

Walking down the allies seeing as it is faster to get to the school from the downtown area, After walking for a little bit, I feel the warm summer air blow through my long maroon curly hair I sigh in comfort Until I hear a blood-curdling scream knowing how bad this area can get I run in the direction of the scream

When I get to where I heard a scream coming for I see a girl about my age looking frightened by a low life thug pinning her to the wall getting a better look I see that she is now unconscious, growling because I hate guys like him, who think just because they are gang members that they can bully people.

Walking behind the guy I lay my hand on his shoulder watching him turn to look at me giving a glare before realizing that it was me, he steps away for the girl and so do I just in case he tries to do something.

"What are you doing getting in my business kid do you want to have some fun with me too," He says in a mocking tone and I know what kind of "fun" he meant, sighing because I have seen this guy before so I already knew who his ring leader was

"No thanks man also get out of here before I tell Antoni about what I saw because you know the outcome of that, also if I see you doing crap like this again I will personally deal with you," I tell him wanting to grab the collar of his jacket and putting him in his place right there.
