Jake's POV
I woke up from my nap and checked the time oooh shit I need to get out of the house before Mr Johnson's family comes here. I quicken my activities and strolled out of the house on my way out I stumbled against a familiar figure walking out of one of the neighbours house. Hey! I called out. Hey Jake replied Ruby. Hey Ruby how are you. Am good and you. Fine. So where are you up to? Am just going out for a stroll she said. I could be your accomplice. Noo thanks but I think you should head to where you were going to before we met. Oh no I wasn't going anywhere I just decided to loosen up my self a bit I said. Alright then. I have always dreamed of getting another opportunity to be with you again and I think I got it today I said. ( Smiles ) Why did you want to be with me? Nothing much would love to know you better. Alright. May I ask a question? Of course go on. Why did you love to skip class. I don't love skipping class it's just sometimes I don't have the opportunity to attend the class. How I don't understand. You remember that day that you asked for my number and I didn't give you and the other day that you were talking about the rule I told you about all those are associated to one person. If I may ask who? My aunt sorry my step mom. The both of them? Somehow for almost eighteen years I thought she was my aunt until some months ago that she talked about it unknowingly that's when I knew the truth. So you are telling me your step mom is against you giving your numbers out to guys. Kind of. What of your mom? ( Pauses ) She died during my birth. Ooh am sorry ( Pets her ). ( Sobs ) Sometimes I just wish my mother was alive. Never mind it's going to be alright. So if I may ask how is this connected to the classes you skipped. ( Sighs ) Anytime I offend her she finds no other punishment than to lock me in my room. What! That's weird. Yes I know. Can't you do anything about it? I don't think so. What of your dad?. He's worse he does everything my step mom says I would rather call him the wife and then my step mom the husband. Wow! That's bad. Seriously bad and do you know the worse part of it. What? She always find a way to make me feel like am the one who is causing problems in the family. How? She blames me for my mom's death, my dad's job loss and so many other things. That's really bad so how do you cope in that house. ( Chuckles ) Have been doing that since when I was given birth to. Isn't there something else you could do? I don't think so.
