I decided to give you a another taste of what's in my first book to come. "From Lost Girls To Virtuous Woman:I'm Still Standing." Please tell me what you think. This is the non edited version so, please excuse all the typos. When you write, you just write!
I must have feel back to sleep because when I woke up, John was gone and she was on the couch sleep. Someone threw a blanket over me. I got up to go to the bathroom. I was still tired, my plan was to go back to sleep after I used the bathroom. As I’m sitting on the toilet, I hear some thumps coming from upstairs. She stayed on the first floor and I stayed on the third floor. I just figured that was some kids playing in the hallway. I was hungry so, before I went back to sleep I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal, she was still knocked out, I guess so with the night she had with my brother. I started pouring my cereal and I heard another thump, then another one and then I heard some screaming and yelling, “Get off me, Now” “Leave me alone, Get off of me.” By that time my best friend had woke up because she heard it, she looked at me wiping the morning eye boogers from her eyes, “what is going on?” I, don’t know. As, I get to the door to open it, I hear John saying, “Get the Fuck off my mother for I kill you.” I ran up the two flights of stairs and my best friend right behind me and when I make it to the third floor where are apartment building is, I see my mother laying outside the door, face all bloody and John got Willie pinned down on the ground. John has really grown and he is not the same kid that Willie use to punk. I ran over there to my mother to see if she was ok, I ran in the house to check the kids and I couldn’t find them, I called for them and they were hiding and scared. I heard the sounds of ambulance, fire trucks and police officers. Someone called, the police and thank God they called because I know what happen the last time I called. I grabbed John and got him off of Willie, so he wouldn’t get in trouble and I asked my friend to take the kids down to her house. I could see the shock and fear on her face, I was so embarrassed.
The cops and rescue squad got there. Willie was arrested again and my mother had to be taken to the hospital to be checked out. She was beaten up and bruised pretty bad, all I could do is cry. I was so angry, “Why do she keep letting him back in?” She was doing so much better without him. John went with my mom to the hospital and I stayed with the kids at my friend house. We feed them lunch, I went upstairs, got them dressed and we took them to the park. It was a chilly day, so we didn’t stay out long. When we got back to her house, her mom was home and she already knew what had happened this morning. She got the kids and fixed all some lunch and laid them down for a nap. I just didn’t feel like talking or eating. I was so embarrassed that my best friend had to see my mother half beaten to death. I was so tired of living like this and I wanted to get away from this place for good.
