All You Need Is Love

Chapter 6

                                                                (Desire)

Dennis hasn't come in my room for a while.

Guess he's giving me time to heal.

So on this Monday morning I'm well enough to attend school.

I wear my usual wear.

Baggy sweats and a over-sized hoodie.

My mom isn't passed out on the couch when I come down the stairs because she hasn't come home since last week.

No telling where she's at.

But this isn't the first time and definitely won't be the last time she ups and disappears.

I open the door and feel a slight heart attack coming.

Jacari's car is parked in front of my house with him leaning against it.

I don't know if I should walk pass him like I didn't see him or approach him.

Why is he here right now?

God I hope Dennis isn't somewhere watching.

He's gonna kill me.

"What's up Desire" Jacari says while approaching me.

Speechless is not even the word for what I am right now.

All I pretty much can do right now is stare at him.

In my mind I'm trying to remember what the human language is so I can use it.

"Wh-what are you doing here Jacari?" I ask.

"I heard it was gonna be cold as f**k this morning and I didn't want you to walk" he says.

And I'm like .......why does he even care?

We barely even know each other.

We've only been in contact for like 2 weeks.

"Jacari you are very strange" I say but I accept the ride anyways because it is very cold this morning.

And Jayda started riding the bus because she sais she was fed up with me not showing up half of the time so I would've been walking by myself anyway.

And I want to get to the bottom of this situation with Jacari.

"Why do you care so much Jacari?" I ask as we get settled in his car.

"Ima be honest with you. . I really don't know why. . I just do" he says.

"Care to elaborate more?" I ask.

"It's like lately I've been really worried about your well being and s**t" he says.

"Like you always telling people that nothing is going on with you which I know is a straight up lie. Something is wrong. I just wish you would tell me what it is." He says.

Out of the people to magically start paying attention to me it had to be him.

"I just don't understand why you care so much" I say.

"I just do Desire" he says.

No matter how much he claims he cares I'm not telling him anything.

What will he think of me?

You can't just up and tell someone you are getting r***d and beat by your mom's boyfriend almost daily.

He couldn't possibly understand any of it.
