Ivory
(1 month later)
Tahirah have been here for a month and seem like she was never leaving. Like we would keep going shopping and buy her new clothes and her room is filled like she lives here.
Ivory- Tahirah are you leaving soon ?
Tahirah- I can't.
Ivory- Why ?
Tahirah- Because when I get home, my parents are gonna beat me they have been for years.
Ivory- And why haven't you told anybody ?
Tahirah- Because I thought you guys won't believe me.
Ivory- And you won't even tell the cops.
Tahirah- Well if I do, they have a friend named Marcus that always take care of me.
Ivory- Well Tahirah, I hope you enjoy your new house.
Tahirah- Thanks, Ivory.
END OF FLASHBACK
Jasmine
Ever since Ivory told me about the Tahirah incident, I been as helpful as I can. So we been hanging out a lot and having a lot of fun. It's a good thing she is here because if she wasn't I wouldn't know to do. So one day Tahirah hid behind me and Ivory since she noticed her parents and Marcus.
(T/M- Tahirah's mom, T/D- Tahirah's dad)
T/M- Hello Jas.
Jasmine- Leave me alone please.
T/M- Why ?
Jasmine- Because I noticed you beating Tahirah. For what ?
T/M- That's none of your concern.
T/D- Oh who is this pretty little thing ?
T/M- Jasmine.
T/D- It look like Marcus can have fun with her, right Marcus ?
Marcus- Right.
I looked at Ivory and he had anger flaring in his and his nose flaring up and his fist getting more clenched.
Jasmine- Babe, just relax.
Ivory- No I can't. What if he does something if I'm not there ?
Jasmine- I got a glock 17 in my room just in case.
Ivory- Ok.
T/M- Where is Tahirah ?
Jasmine- Come out Tahirah.
She came out shaking and fear in her eyes. I guess I would be scared if that life was mine.
T/D- Hey baby.
Tahirah- Stay away from me.
T/M- Why we haven't heard from you in months.
Tahirah- Because I'm staying away from you guys. Guys can we leave now ?
Jasmine- Yes we can come on Ivory.
Ivory- Aight.
We got home and Tahirah ran upsatirs crying. So I followed her and sat next her on her bed.
Jasmine- What happened ?
Tahirah- I'm scared. What if they find me ?
Ivory- Trust me they won't.
Jasmine- When did you get here ?
Ivory- Right after you did.
Tahirah- They will always find a way to me.
Jasmine- No they won't not while we are here.
Tahirah- Ok.
