My heart was just beating fast, black parents never understand things easily, and especially things like bringing a man inside the house. I knew mom was going to trip somehow. I looked at Twanda.

Quinton: I'm sure your mom won't kill you.
Me: she won't kill me but you! you shouldn't have come here in the first place.. God!
Quinton: but I'm here
Me: Twanda?
Twanda: ok.
Me: can you go with him to his room, stay there until I tell you to come out.
Quinton: what about my car?
Me: I will deal with it… just go.
They stood up & left as I took the first aid kit & placed it in my room. When I came back in the sitting room mom had already gotten in.
Me: Mama
Her: shouldn't you be at work?
Me: yeah but we closed early today.
She just nodded.
Her: & the car outside?
Me: ummh some man parked it… he asked to park it there because he was going to the police.. Ummh apparently the kids.. the students at Twanda’s school broke it.
Her: ok… I'm going to rest now.

She then walked away. Something was wrong but I didn't want to ask because it would prolong the conversation. The minute she closed the door I rushed to Twanda’s room.

Me: Quinton you have to go.
Quinton: what about work? you should be there in 5 minutes.
Me: I will go to work tomorrow. You have to leave now!
Quinton: my hand is painful.
Me: what the fuck nigga or you white?
Quinton: I'm 100% black.
Me: don’t make me throw you out through the window.
Quinton: I'm serious it’s painful… I didn't drink the painkillers they make me sleepy & I hate pills.
Me: what do you do when you are in pain?
Quinton: I just face it.
Me: what do we do now? you need to leave!
Quinton: let me call my friend so he picks Makeila from preschool then come & pick me up.
Me: no.. You need to leave as in now... this second!
Twanda: how about you drive him to town? Then the friend will take it from there.
Me: ok… let's go.
He stood up then we walked out to his car. I could see it wanted to rain. I got inside his car & him at the passenger seat.
Me: shush Michelle.
I said to Twanda who was standing by the window.
He nodded. I started driving away. As I was driving I saw Litia's car parked by the corner of the street.
Me: oh shit!
I turned then used another street.
Quinton: why did you just turn?
Me: the street thugs were waiting for you, you should never come to the Ghetto, and they don’t appreciate fancy half breeds like you.
Quinton: so basically it's not safe here.
Me: for you, yes.
Quinton: what about you?
Me: I was born in Matero, in the Ghetto… I grew up there.. its normal for me not sissy niggas like you.
Quinton: can't you call at work & tell them you won't be coming back?
I took out my phone from the pocket.
Quinton: you can't drive & be busy on the phone Carl.
I sighed annoyed to the fullest then gave him my phone.
Me: look for Antoinette.

He browsed through then put the phone on loud speaker as he dialed her number. It rang for a while until she answered.

Her: Carl?
Me: hey... I might not come back, I have been caught with an emergency.
Her: ohh ok... see you tomorrow then?
Me: yes.
Her: ok bye.
Me: bye.
She then hung up.
Him: can you please drive to Makeila's school?
Me: where is her mother?
Him: passed on.
I kept quite not knowing what to say.
Me: can you please direct me.
He directed me to the preschool. It was actually a fancy preschool.
I parked by the gate.
Him: let me go get her.
He got off the car then came back after a while with her. She was dirty & was holding some painting.
Quinton opened the door for her then she got in. After that he also got in.
Me: can you now call your friend? I have to go back home before it starts raining
I said as I drove away from the preschool.
Quinton: ok.
He took out his phone then called the friend.
Him: Blank! dawg I need a favor.. Can you meet up with me at Acardes. I want you take Makeila home.. yeah.. ok thanks.
He then hung up.
Me: What about you?
Him: I'm going to make sure you arrive safely at home!
Me: do you have a death wish?
