FIVE hours. five hours by myself and the tv on low while the caption tried to keep up the speed of what the person on tv was saying. I refolded all of my clothes and walk around whites room inspecting things. I deep a loud sigh while falling back on the bed. I spread out my arms to each side of the bed and kicked my feet out.

I heard a door slam which caused me to instantly get up and run towards the bathroom. There were heavy steps coming up the stairs and towards the door. I gently closed the door and sat on the floor quietly. Keys singled and played with the lock till it opened. "Bebita, it's just me".

I let out a sigh of relief soon as I realized it was white and not anyone else. " you scared me half to death shithead, I thought you were your mom" I said coming out of the bathroom. He dropped his bookbag and kicked his shoes off. " nope it's just me, the shithead" he said with a smirk. " haha very funny".

He laughed and got up to take his shirt off. "it's hot as hell". I saw his freshly tan abbs once again. I cleared my throat and looked the other way. "dude its the middle of September, it's nowhere hot" I said putting my focus on something else.

"Yeah, but the heat is on 80 and it's blazing where the hell has you been". Blush reached my cheeks, thank God for blessing me with a dark complexion. He walked over toward his drawers and pulled out a muscle tee and pulled it over his body. " there are you happy now"? "Yes white I am".

He jumped back on the bed and turned the tv up. " so what did you do today while I was gone bebita". I rolled my eyes at the nickname he gave me. " I sat here bored waiting for you to show up, did you get my school work by the way". He looks up at me and towards the tv again "nope".

I did a double take " wait, what why white" I said snatching the remote away from him. "Because when I asked to get your homework, they told me you were pulled from the system and didn't go there anymore," he said looking at me finally. All of the colors drained from my face as I took in the new information. My father took me out of the system to keep the school from calling home asking where I was. "Kinsley please calm down, he doesn't know where you are and he won't find out okay," he said grabbing me and cradling my face. " in the meantime you can help me with mine".

All that ran in my mind were thoughts of how my father could find me and how I could get away before he even thinks of me being with white. I grabbed my shoes and bag and traveled toward the door. Hands wrapped around my waist pulling me away from the door. And that's when the waterworks begin. "White he's going to find me and kill me I have to go now while he doesn't know anything, I can't stay here white I gotta-" cold lips covered mines causing my words to come to a halt.

Once he realized what he did had work he took his lips away from mine and looked me in my eyes. "Bebita he will not find you not will I let anything ever happen to you do you understand, we're in this together now". I looked in his eyes and seen the truth, Brian pledged to not let anything happen to me. I nodded again unable to speak. He nodded as well and stepper back rubbing his neck " sorry about that kiss, I just needed you to calm down".

I touch my lips and a shiver went through me. "it's fine, it was nothing anyway". something flashed past his eyes before he nodded again and sat back down on the bed focusing on the tv. I placed my shoes and everything else back where it was. I walk on the other side of the bed and sat with white.

He looked at me and pulled me towards him. " remember what I said bebita, nothings gonna happen". I took in his words and for once in a long time, I felt at peace.
