Santiago

By the time I pulled up at the crib, it was already 4 in the morning. I knew my folks were asleep by then so I turned my headlights low pulling into the driveway. Normally I would put my car in the garage but tonight sure wasn't that type a night. I turned the engine off and glanced to see Khia next to me with her eyes real low. She's had a hell of a day and night so I knew she was tired. We both hopped out the car and I entered the key into the door. I let Khia in first and then got inside the house locking the door behind me. She was barely holding on so I carried her while I gave her my keys to hold. I placed her on my bed and she was gone. Going into the bathroom, i sat on top of the toilet with my clothes on just looking at her sleep. How can a pretty girl like this battling a bunch of demons in her life? I knew I had to step up and protect this girl because she can't protect herself, not because she's weak but because ain't no one taught her how to. Life is something else. Just when you think you got problems and someone is struggling through something far worse than you. This girl's an angel with pure intentions and I can see it. I looked up and silently prayed in my heart. God, I know I ain't in no position to talk to you now especially cause I'm running around here making bad decisions but I'm sorry. I'm really sorry and I don't want to be the type a guy to have a form of Godliness but to be a example to Khia. I wanna help her so bad but I can't because I can't even help myself. So I need you to help me help her.
