Why didn’t you tell me?” Drew yelled.
I shut my eyes as if it would make the entire night disappear. “Do we have to do the yelling thing right now?” I grumbled as I walked straight to my room and threw myself on my bed.
I was kidding myself if I thought Drew would just drop it.
He appeared at my bedroom door looking furious.
He flipped on the light switch.
“Uh, yeah. We’re doing this right now!” He spoke angrily.
I grabbed Mr Washington holding him to my chest and ironically I felt like a little girl again.
Feeling trapped in a cycle of yelling, anger and violence.
Seeing Sal had only triggered that and made me remember all the trauma I had been trying to forget.
“Drew, I’m tired and I want to rest so could you just…”
I let the words hang in the air hoping he’d get the hint.
Dre
