Save Me ( Keith Powers)

58

Ashly looked at her sister.

"I'm your sister and I know when something is bothering you. So how are you holding up?"

Ashly shrugged her shoulders and blinked her eyes repeatedly trying not to let the tears slip but it didn't help, at all. Miracle walked towards her big sister and pulled her into a hug and right then and there Ashly just let everything out. All of the hurt that she was holding in, she released it right there in her sister's arms. The abuse from Rodney. The abuse from Michael. The lying, cheating and embarrassment from Keith. The hurt from her baby. Everything was now being released.

"I just want to know of all people, why am I being hurt the most?"

"Because God give his toughest battles to his strongest soldier and he already know that what battle he give us.."

She pulled back and looked at her.

"We're able to get through it. And long as I'm here, you are able to go through anything."

"I love you Miracle."

"I love you too. Now wipe your pretty eyes, go get these cookies grandma made and I'm about to turn on Star because you missed the last episode before they went into their fall finale."

"They already showed it?"

"Mhmm and girl it was messyyy messy messy."

"Wait, I don't want you to tell me everything that happened, but what happened between Nalex and Stoah?"

Miracle hit her hand on the bed.

"And girl that's where the mess come in."

They started laughing then Ashly ran out the room to get the snacks.

9:58
The guys were sitting in the clothing boutique's parking lot waiting on Michael. They already knew what they were going to say and do, so there was no need for them to go over it again. Around 9:59, Michael pulled up in the parking lot and soon as he pulled up, he got out of the car and stood in front of it. The guys thought that was a big mistake. Soon as 10:00 came Luke, Algee and Bryshere got out of the car and walked towards him.

"Man I'm telling y'all I saw a strip joint up the block."

"Darnell that wasn't no strip joint."

The guys made a decision to use fake names once they walked towards Michael. They knew this wasn't the first time him and Ashly have "dated" and they wasn't sure if he knew their names, but just in case, they came up with fake names. Darnell (Algee), Quincy (Luke), and Jamarcus (Bryshere).

"Then what was it then, Jamarcus?" Algee waited for him to respond and when he took too long he started back talking.

"Exactly! Like I thought!"

"Man, can both of y'all shut up. Sounding like some little kids." He scoffed.

Michael looked up when he heard them and saw them walking towards him.

"Excuse me sir, can you help us with something?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"We're from up north and this is our first time down here, so I was wondering would you happen to know if there's any strip clubs around here?"

"I don't believe there's one here but there's one in another city."

"You know where it's at?"

Michael nodded his head and started explaining to them on how to get there and what short cut they could take to get there quicker.
