Sage POV continued 
I just sat on the bed and started crying as I put my hands over my face. I didn't deserve the life I had. I knew my mom was trying her best to get us out of there but I can't deal with my dad any longer. I can deal with him smoking or snorting some white girl but not him hitting me for everything I do wrong. I felt the bed dip and a hand on my back. 
"Ma why you crying?" Mekai said tilting my head up. 
"Just life." I shrugged wiping my eyes. 
He pulled me into a hug and that's when I broke down. I hadn't had a hug like this in so long. For once I felt like someone actually cared. His hands moved down to my lower back as I cried into his neck. 
He picked me up and took me into his room. He sat me on the bed as I rubbed my eyes. My right one was swollen and probably black. 
"Tell me where the nigga hit you." He said sitting next to me. 
"Just my eye." I lied. He's kicked me in the stomach, busted my lip and almost raped me. Thank God my mom got home before it happened. 
He reached for my face which made me flinch. 
"Sorry.." he said slightly shaking his head. I could tell he was high. 
"Mekai this pizza here!" His mom yelled from downstairs. 
We both got up but he stopped me from going downstairs. 
"I got it ma." He winked and went downstairs. I laid back on his bed that smelled like weed. Nothing but weed. 
He came back upstairs with 2 water bottles and 2 plates. He handed me a plate and I barely ate anything as we watched All American.
"Ma, if youn eat that fucking food ima shove it down yo throat." He said drinking his water. Seeing his plate empty made me wanna eat mine and quickly I ate it all.
"You smoke?" He asked with a blunt in his hand. 
"I've never tried." I shrugged. 
"Here." He handed it to me and I looked at it crazy. 
"How?" I laughed getting a little embarrassed.
"You know how to use a lighter right?" He grabbed one off his dresser. I nodded. 
"Light the other end up and inhale. Hold it for a second though." 
I did that and it felt really weird. I blew out the smoke and saw him smiling out the corner of my eye. 
I laughed and took another pull. Pretty soon we were both high and I loved the feeling. We switched to watching On My Block and were laid up in his bed.
"Ma I'm bout to go take a shower." 
"Alright and why you keep calling me ma?" I asked sitting up.
"It's just a nickname." He shrugged and went into the bathroom. 
I went on my phone and saw I had a bunch of messages from Drake. Fuck. When ole dude gonna realize I don't want him?

"Leave me alone ugh!" I said thinking out loud before I saw Mekai standing in the doorway. He had just a towel around his waist and his dreads hung past his eyes. His abs were exposed and he had a tattoo on his chest. 
"You good?" He said while brushing his teeth. 
"Um yeah Drake had just texted me." I shrugged. 
"Youn like him back, do you?" 
"Not really I mean he's been my best friend for so long I just didn't see myself in a relationship with him." I said playing with my fingers. I wish I could afford to get my nails done. 
"Ohh I get that." He said getting some basketball shorts out his dresser. He went back in the bathroom and put em on leaving his shirt off. 
"When you got a tattoo?" I asked looking at his chest. It looked like the date of something and it was right over his heart. 
"Last year. It's the day my big brother got killed." He said. 
"Oh I'm sorry for your loss." I felt bad for bringing it up now. 
"It's coo." He laid back on the bed and motioned for me to sit on his lap. I laid my head on his chest and just listened to his heart beat. It started getting faster when I wrapped my arms around him. 
"You ok?" I asked sitting up. 
"Yeah you just making me nervous." He laughed and made me smile before I felt hands rubbing on my ass. 
"Umm what are you doing.." I asked moving around out of his hands. 
"Oh sorry." He said taking his hands off. 
"Could you stop moving though ma?" 
"W-" I stopped myself once I felt something poking me. 
"My bad." I felt really bold for some reason and I went ahead and said it. 
"Lemme fix it?" 
He looked at me and raised his eyebrow. 
"You deadass?" I nodded. 
Mekai POV 
"Oh so you tryna suck a lil dick?" I said laughing. I ain't think she was forreal until she got up to close the door. Yeah that weed getting to her head. Or the dye from them braids sinking into her brain.
