𝖎𝖙'𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖓𝖊𝖝𝖙 𝖉𝖆𝖞 𝖆𝖓𝖉 I'm sitting on the porch already dress and ready for my appointment, Oscar is out again and Mateo is watching the house again. It's a few minutes until james said he would arrive, I still don't how I'm gonna do this— I mean I have few ideas but I'm not sure that they'll work
I grab my crutches as a way to help me up, and I walked to Mateo's car and he rolled down his window "what's up j?" he says
"hey um can you make an errand run for me?" I asked, "you know I'm not allowed to leave" he says. "I know it's just—I started my period and I just ran out of tampons—" I say until he cut me off "alright say no more— I'll be right 10 minutes tops" he says
"thank you so much!" I say, "no problem j" he says as he started up his car and drove away and couple minutes later James pull up, he gets out of car to open the car door for me. I get in and he takes my crutches and put them in the backseat before getting in the driver's side
He buckled his seatbelt before he started driving "good evening josephine" he says, "you can call me jo" I say, " okay" he nods
"so what exactly is this—mentor—thing you was talking about?" I asked, "oh yes! I guess I didn't explain it very well the other day, the brentwood association program found out about your incident and also found out you are part of the mentoring program, which is my job—you can always talk to me about anything— it's kinda like your own therapist but it can be anywhere you wanna go— I also to can take you places such as doctor appointments, physical therapy, and your workplace" he says
"I don't have a job" I say
"I can also take you places to get a job and job interviews" he says

we arrived at the doctor office, i filled out some paperwork and waited in the waiting with James as he reads a magazine about back pain, a nurse came out and called my name, I stood and so did James "I can do this by myself" I say walking ahead of him and following the nurse to the back
I followed her into a room where she said the doctor would be in shortly and after waiting for 30 minutes he walked in, he introduced himself and all that boring stuff—skipping to the good stuff, he finally took my case off, it was weird seeing my leg and the bullet wound
"don't rub, scratch or scrub your skin too hard— when you do shower make sure you scrub gently, make sure you put lotion on it, but make sure it's fragrance free. wait 3 or more days to shave your leg hair, and don't be so codependent on your crutches but also make sure you rest for a certain amount of time, have any questions?" My doctor asked
"one" I say
"do you know who that guy is? the one I walked in with?" I asked, "James?" He asked and I nodded
"James Henderson, he's one of my students—he's a really smart and caring guy" the doctor says
"he told me something about the brentwood association program and the mentoring program, he also said one of my parents signed me up for them, and my father is in prison" i says
"yes, I read that in your file, the brentwood association program works with kids in the foster system" the doctor says, "but I'm not in the foster system, I've been to one foster home and that lasted a week" I say
"yes that's because you ran away from the foster home, and the social workers and police couldn't find you they thought you left california— and in your file it says you and your brother have been to couple a foster families before being returned to your mom" he says
"I don't remember that" I say
"that's because you and your brother was only a few months old" the doctor says
"oh— and then what's with the mentoring program?" I asked
"the Brentwood association program created the mentoring program for the kids who aged out of the foster system without being adopted— you and your brother was underage when this offer was given to you and your mother had signed it" he says
"my mom?" I say surprised
he nods

right now I'm sitting in James's car as he drives me back to the house "if your gonna be picking me up and everything, you can't dress like that" I say
"what's wrong with what I'm wearing?" He asled
"Your wearing a suit and I live in the hood— that's a recipe of getting mugged" I say
"so what should I wear?" he asked
"I don't know— jeans and a T-shirt, wear something comfy but casual" I say as he stops in front of the house as Oscar and all of his guys sat on the lawn "shit!" I say
"James don't get out the car" I say getting out the car, I started with a struggle trying to get my crutches "I'll help!" James says as he gets out help me up as he grabbed my crutches, I look over his shoulder to see Oscar walking our way
I hurried and grabbed my crutches from him and stood in front of James as Oscar walked up to him, Oscar looked between me and James and he was behind pissed "get in the house now!" Oscar says
"James get to leave first" I say, turning to look at him to see him just standing there"go James— leave!" I say snapping him back to reality, he looks at me before getting back in his car and driving away
I look back at Oscar who was already staring down at me "Get. In. The. House." He says, I sighed before walking towards the house with him following in after me
