Then I heard the lock to my door being messed with, so quickly I stuffed the money in my purse, grabbed both bags and threw them in the closet ran and jumped onmy bed just as the door was opening.
Chapter 5

Will


"Hey ma."I said pushing open her bedroom door.And then I saw my mom passed out on her bed, then I saw it.The bong and the weed then right next to that the pills.She was doing all this stuff, and honestly it didn't shock me.The way she walked around with these dazed eyes.sometimes I feel sorry for her but then i remember that she doesit to herself taking away all my sympathy I could possibly have towards her. sighing I walked in tucked her in, shut the tv off picked up her booze and drugs put the bong on the shelf below the tv across from her bed ans same with the weed.I put her booze in her mini-fridge then put the pills in her bathroom.

I love my mom, but sometimes I just don't know how much longer I can put up with her.When I turn 18 next week I've been seriously considering getting a place of my own a job and eventually taking custody of monica and trey. But by doing so I'm just running away from my mom.

Walking back into the living room I turn on the tv grabbed some chips out of the cabnit and popped down on the couch.After watching 3 episodes of hidden city I dozed off.

As always I woke up as soon as the clock struck 8:45am.But this time someone was screaming.Monica.Monica was screaming.Automatically making me aware,I ran down the hall to Monica's room.opening the door I was not only surprised but so pissed off.Monica was on her bed laying down on her stomach...texting yup, she was texting while I thought someone was hurting her.

"Monica,Why were you screaming?" she looked up from her phone and just starred at me like I was like I was and idiot.

"I was screaming, because Dominick broke up with me." then her eyes flashed from sad to angry so fat that I wouldn't have even noticed if i wasn't staring at her.

"Oh.I'm sorry." Being monica's older brother I really wanna kill dominick.

"Don't be. he is an asshole." Ahh Monica always full of attitude. gotta luv it.

"Alright then, are you ok?" the way Monica looked right now was exactly how my mom looked when she was clean.Long wavy dark brown skin.Like the rest of the family she was blessed with a perfect figure and good looks.

"Yeah. I'll be fine.But since your in here lets talk about that girl that you were totally swooning over last night."

Not wanting to put this off much longer I agreed."Yeah. Ok." Then I walked across her purple room. And when I say purple room. I mean purple everything.She moved her feet and ended up sitting with her back to the wall and her feet over the edge of her teinsixe bed.So I sat down next to her.

"Good,first,do I know her?" She turned her head towards me and wiggled her eyebrows. She knows I can't resist that,so I ended up spilling everything.

"Yes.her name is Jamieka Thomson.Ring a bell?" Her whole face lit up and she stared jumping up and down.

"Yeah, are you kidding me I love her!She is amazing!You two would be the cutest couple ever. I mean it when me and Jasmin match couples you two are always matched togeather. The only thing that sucks is that shes with Tyrell, what a douchebag!" Wow,I can't belive my 13 year old little sister just said douchebag.

"Wow. Monica,I can be honest and tell you that if she wasn't with Tyrell then I would try to make a move. But I honestly dont think someone like her will go for someone like me." Honestly who am I kidding she has everything she could possibly wont,why would she want me?

"Why is that the only reason stopping you? Will you need to go for it don,t even ask her out.Just kiss her.trust me chicks dig it. and if she really cared about Tyrell then she would slap you or something.And if she didn't she would not even mention him.Trust me. Alright now get out, damn man your crampin my style."And with that she stood up grabbed my hand and ushered me out of her room and closing the door before I could even respect."I LOVE YOU WILL!!" Oh, Monica.

Since it was only 3 in the afternoon I cheacked the house and monica and I were the only ones in the house, cool a whole afternoon with Monica. I'll see if not being stuck in the house today.I got up off the couch and went back to Monicas room and Knocked in the door.

"Do you wanna get outta the house for the day?

"Well yeah.come on Will, I want icecreame.Remeber I'm deppressed."she was smiling as she said this.

"Oh,yeah.Wow could I forget? Musta slipped my mind.Well then get ready because I'm leaving in twenty."

Chapter 6

Jamieka

I woke up really late it was 3 in the afternoon and I'm feeling so lazy.Shit! I jumped up and ran off my king size bed into my bathroom and checked my face.My whole right eye was swollen black and blue I'm just lucky it wasn't swollen shut.Quickly and quietly I peeled off my cloths and took down my hair.I jumped in the shower quickly.After I went in my room and put on purple laced panties and a black laced bra.Then went in my closet and put on my purple skinny jeans and a purple shoulderd half top that says "Suck it!" with a black tanktop underneath grabbed both doufflebags and my purse then snuck downstairs thank god no one was home.Then I went into the kitchen. And grabbed my car keys that were on the hook nest to the garrage door, went in the garrage and thank god my car was there. I poped the trunk loaded in my bags. Then after I closed it went back inside to get my purse off the counter.

Then I saw the lock turning on the front door I'm fucked.quickly I snatched my purse off the counter and ran into the hall closet.Thats when i heard the first voice.

"Hurry up man and get the fuckin shit!Robbers oh man. Now I'm really scared.I hear footsteps coming towards the closet I was in and sucked in my breath quickly.

"Thats not what I'm talking about. You dumb fuck! Do I have to slit your wrist for u to get the point?15 minutes till we gotta be gone, stay in one place longer than that and bitches start trippin now get the money and lets get the fuck out."As soon as he saod this I knew exactly what money they wanted.They want the 200,000$ thats in my fathers safe in his office.

"Aright. Dammitman I'm coming. lets check the downstairs we spend 7 minutes down there and 7 up here,Deal?" Robbers number 2 said

"Ok.fine.But hurry the fuck up."Robber number 1 said.

I waited until I heard 2 pairs of feet go downstairs. Ok. One.Two.Three.I opened the door and quickly but very quickly went into the garage I am gripping my purse so hard my knuckles are starting to hurt...5 minutes left I dug my hand into my purse and pulled out my car keys and unlocked the door quickly got in and slammed it and locked it. As I put my keys in the ignition I looked up and saw 2 thugs in front of my car with metalk bat.My hands were sweating and getting clammy I reached up and pressed the button on my visor to open my garage door.Then I heard the crack of Robber number 1'metalbat hit the hood of my car,I'm so screwed.

Turning my key in the ignition I started the car and reved the engine.Once.twice.now or never my heart was pounding,I squeezed my eyes shut and made my foot touch the floor.Thump,thumped peeking with one eye open my car was still going now driving 93 mph down the driveway.Why don't I slow down before I get a limit of 55 mhp,where should I go now?Oh I know ,anywherebut here.I made a sharp right,and went downtown.

"Guess who I saw downtown having icecream with his litle sister?Will! I feel like this is fate.so deciding it's now or never I pulled over and park across the stret from Icy cream's ice cream palor. Will was dressed like a boss, he was wearing black loose jean and a dark purple shirt with koolaid man on the front.God,no matter what he wore he still seemed to always look like a god.I got out of my car and walked over to where they were sitting.I guess I should have been paying more attention because I was almost hit by a car.I glanced over and saw one pissed off lady."Sorry!"I yelled to her with an apolegetic face and a slight wave.Then guess what I got back? the finger. The old bag flipped me off!Bitch.

Turning around because I felt someone tap me on the shoulder,I was shocked to see Will standing there.

"Hey,Jamieka." OMG!Did he just say my name?!?! his sweet tender husky voice just said, my name.

"Will" I said stretching out the "L" making him smile.His warm heart melting smile made my heart beat stutter!I smiled back at him making sure to make it breathtaking.

"well if your not meeting anyone or something would you like to sit and have some ice cream with Monica and I?" He was such a gentleman. how could I resist!

"Of course, I wouls love to."I smiled as I took his hand in mine.I think at first I must have shocked him because I felt resistance.But then I looked him in the eyes and smiled. "come on.
