do anymore."
"I don't want you to loose your future so stay here," he said and then left with tears in his eyes.
"Andrew come back." I cried jumping out of them bed to chase him.
He turned around and said, "Yvett, I'm not breaking up with you. I just need a break from your family."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes, if I only liked you I would have still been in Oklahoma."
"Then why are you leaving?"
"Do you want me to stay?"
"Yes, but you didn't answer my question."
"For your good, I don't think your grandma likes me."
"Forget about her, think about what it would do to my heart if you left this early?"
"Alright, I'll stay but you're going to have to ride with your parents."
"Ok, see you in a little bit. Did you happen to bring my clothes?"
"Yes, that miniskirt you were wearing and a shirt you had in the closet."
"Ok, give me a kiss."
He gave me a kiss then left me to get dressed.
After I finished getting dressed and ran outside. I ran right into Devan.
"It's nice to see you, now I don't go to go inside to get you. Come on let's go."
"Where are my parents?"
"They left thirty minutes ago."
"Well then I'll leave with Andrew."
"He left too, now come on. I don't have all day."
I stared at him and seen the look in his eyes . I knew what he was going to do so I ran...or tried to run. he was quick for me. he grabbed my hair and pulled me. I kicked him then ran. I saw Andrew's car and ran towards that way. When I got there he had the door already open so I jumped in, slammed the door, and started crying.
Andrew started the car, drove off then started talking. "What he try to do to you?"
"If I would have got in that car he was going to rape me.'
"Oh, for your birthday I'm taking you to Hawaii."
"How can you afford that, I mean I can too but you're always spending money...on me."
"Well I do love you but I just need to be alone with you, without anyone around."
"Where are you going?"
"Nowhere."
"No, I mean are you going to try to have sex with me?"
"No, do you want me to?"
"Not really, you have to wait until I graduate college."
"Ok, I can wait. So where you want to go for the night. I know you don't want to go to her house because he there."
"I don't really care. I'm going in the back. I need to stretch and I'm planning on falling asleep.
"Alright, night."
When he stopped driving we were at the most expensive hotel. I was in a king size bed and I only had a bra and underwear on.
"Andrew, where are you?"
"On the other side of the bed. You can come at your own risk."
"Why?"
"Because you don't got nothing on."
"I care because, I just need to be close enough to smell your cologne."
"Ok, shut up now. I'm trying to sleep."
"Night baby."
Chapter 6
When I woke up it was the afternoon and this time I didn't have nothing on.
"Andrew, why am I naked?"
"You got to close and I burst, I'm really sorry."
"I accept but how did it feel?"
'Great, you should get dressed, your dad should be here in like five minutes." Then there was a knock at the door. "Get dresses."
"Ok," I said then jumped up, grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom.
Andrew went and answered the door. It was my dad and...Devan.They pushed him out the way and asked, "Where's Yvett?"
"I'm here daddy." I smiled at my dad, seen his guest then frowned.
"Yvett, come on. We're all going to lunch." Dad said.
I wanted to say 'I don't want to go because Devan's going' but instead I said "Andrew's already cooking me lunch."
"Yvett if this is anything with what happened yesterday, I'm sorry." Devan apologized.
"I can't accept because what you did was too much so bye you guys, unless you want to stay." I said.
"No," they both said.
"Well then get out."
They left out of the room and Devan was looking sad. "Why did you tell them I was cooking?"
"So they can leave, now come on so I can go get some clothes and I really need to take a shower."
"Fine, but I'm going to drop you off then go stop by the store."
I agreed then he dropped me off. I went inside, went to the room I was suppose to be sleeping in and took three pairs of Andrews clothes and three of mine. When I was about to leave, I smelled this horrible smell. I went to see what it was and one again in my life I see a trail of blood. I followed it and grandma was laying the bed dead.
I ran to get my phone to call the cops but it wasn't there. I went to get the house phone but it was also gone.
"Hi, Yvett, it's nice to finally be alone with you."
"Stay away from me. Why did you kill me grandma...Devan?"
He chuckled to himself. "I killed her because I know you would be coming here and I wanted you all to myself."
"What about Lucy?"
"Her, she just one of my hoes. Now be a good girl and turn around and face me."
"Only hoes listen to you, I'm not one of them."
"Well if you're not a hoe then you a dog."
I turned around looked into his eyes and said, "The only one in this house that is a dog...is you," and then I kicked him, dug into his pockets and got my phone. the first person I called was Andrew.
"I'm on my way."
"No, Andrew I need your help. Remember when Devan tried to rape me."
"Yeah."
"Well he killed my grandma to get to me. He's in the-" Devan came up behind me, pulled me in the house, then grabbed my phone.
"Yvett, what happened?"
"Help me, he tied me up."
"Shut up...now tell him you can't go to Hawaii." Demanded Devan.
"Why should I listen to you...dog!" He slapped me and forced my shirt off.
"Say it or I'm going to force my stuff in your mouth."
"Andrew, I can't go on the trip."
'Why not, we'll talk about it when I get inside. I'm pulling up right now, bye.'
He hung up my phone then forced my skirt off. "You have a nice shape, I like it."
"Yvett, where are you?"
"Ah, he has arrived. Don't say nothing or I will kill your beloved Andrew."
He went to greet him and I heard them arguing.
"Why would you do that," yelled Andrew.
"So I can get to your dumb girlfriend."
"Andrew, help me," I screamed.
I heard him running towards the room then he showed up in front of the door. He ran over to me, grabbed some scissors and cut me loose. Right when I was going to get up Devan showed up...with a knife I his hand.
"Andrew, watch out."
He turned around just on time but Devan was too fast.
"Ah," screamed Andrew.
"Andrew, Devan how could you?"
"He doesn't deserve you, you need a man that can take care of your needs."
"Well he does that, just he spoils me at the same time."
"Stop talking and call the ambulance, please, it is burning like hell."
Devan paused then gave up, he wasn't meant to be a killer. He grabbed the phone and called the cops, then sat in the chair and started crying. That's when everyone walked in.
"Devan what's wrong," Lucy said as she ran into the house.
"Mom, where are you," dad said.
"Dead," I said.
Susan walked into the room. "Oh my gosh, Jacob call an ambulance."
"No, mom we already called then," Devan said.
"Oh, Devan why are you crying?"
"I don't want to go to jail."
"You're not you didn't kill anyone. We'll just blame it on Andrew."
"Susan Martinez, how could you do that," I said wiping away my tears. "Why don't you guys like him, he's never done anything to any of us. Now on the other hand, Devan tried to rape me."
"Wow," Susan said.
"How do you think I feel, it's my birthday and my grandma got killed."
Chapter 7
The funeral was horrible, I couldn't see anything because I was crying so much. On the way home Lucy was crying because Devan had to go to prison for at least ten years. Christian was driving in the seat next to him was Lucy. Andrew and I were in the back seat.
"Lucy, do you need a place to stay?" Christian asked.
"Yes, but I'm still recovering over Devan going to prison. I can't believe I went out with a killer," she sobbed.
"It's ok, you need a better rest. I'll call Susan to tell them we're going to stay at a hotel," he said as he took out his phone. He handed her some money so she could go buy two rooms. He stayed back so he could wake Andrew and I up.
He helped Andrew out of the car and we went into the hotel. This summer I had sadness, madness, and happiness but most of all I found who I really am and that's me. This summer I found friendship, love, and most of all family and I am so thankful for it. Imprint
