After school, Kai skipped out on Poison’s business and hurried home, telling us that he wanted to look into the s**t he had found on Principal Vaughn’s computer earlier. Landon, Imani, and I went back to my place.
While Imani wanted to see Ana, I needed to watch Mom. Since they had discharged her from the hospital, she hadn’t gone back to work, and I f*****g refused to let her. But if I left her alone for too long, I feared that she’d try because, now, we had hospital bills piling up.
andShe had worked her ass off these past few years to keep us alive and without growing amounts of debt. And that had landed her r***d, beaten, and almost f*****g dead outside some rich guy’s restaurant.
Not f*****g happening again.
“Imani! Landon!” Ana called, jumping into their arms as soon as we walked
