"Look yeah...I was wrong that day. Me and her were still going through some things, but I cleared the air. I'm not tryna' be like that. I want you to be my girl and I want to treat you right. Can I have a second chance?"

I could hear the sincerity in Merce's voice, but I still wasn't completely sure about giving him another chance. "Let me think about it," I said simply. "Call me tonight and I'll have an answer for you." I gave him a slight smile before walking away.

After walking for about ten more minutes I was home. Even though I called my house home it never felt like it. When I walked in the door my stepmother was waiting for me when I got in.
"Now what was all that you were talking?" She asked getting up in my face.

I didn't respond, which made her angrier. "Cindy, do you here me talking to you?"
"Yeah, I hear you. I'm not listening but I hear you."

"You are so close to being out of here."
"You wouldn't survive with me gone. You know you couldn't even if you wanted to."

"That's where you're wrong. I don't need you."
"Fine. I'm gone then."
I went downstairs to my room and stuffed some clothes into a bag.

I made sure everything I wanted was in the bag because I definately didn't plan on coming back any time soon. I came back upstairs and out the house before making my way to the bus stop. I hopped Tracey's father didn't have a problem with me staying at his house.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, I saw the bus coming around the corner. When it came to a stop in front of me, I got on, paid the fee, and sat down. I got off around the corner from Tracey's house and walked the rest of the way.

When I arrived at his door his father was on his way out.
"Hey back so soon?" He asked.
"Yeah...ummm I was wondering if I could stay here for a little while?"
"Umm sure you can stay in the guest room, is everything okay? What happened?"

"Nothing really. I'm just trying to prove a point to my stepmother."
"And what point would that be?"
"That, without me, she can't survive."
He looked at me kind of strange before smiling. "Well, okay, then. I'll see you later."

I went inside and put my stuff down before going down to Tracey's room. I knocked a few times before coming in.
"Hey Trace."
"Hey honey what's up?"
"Nothing I'll just be staying here a while."
"What happened? Do I need to go beat up Evilene?"

"Naw, not yet. I'm just trying to prove something to her."
"Okay, girl, let me know if you change your mind. I can rid of her for you for twelve dollars and a bag of Skittles."
"Where do you come up with these numbers?" I said through laughter.

"Girl you know I'm crazy." He laughed.
"I know too well."
"You gonna be okay?" He asked.
"Oh yeah I'll be just fine."

"Well, you can stay here for as long as you need to. I get lonely sometimes. All Charles ever wants to do is go fishing and play ball. Never the mall."
"Alright, I hope you remember what happened the last time you called your daddy by his first name."
"How can I forget? My butt still has the marks."

We burst into laughter then my thoughts reminded me of the new life I expected. I wonder what plan the lawyer had because I knew I couldn't stay with Tracey forever.

Almost as if on cue, my cell phone rang. I looked down and saw Vickie's name on the screen.
"Hello," I answered.
"Hey, Cindy. I have good news."
"What is it?"

"My lawyer has everything together and tomorrow the final paperwork is going through. You will finally have the life you deserve Cindy."
"What!" I said jumping up in excitement.

"What are you so happy about?" Tracy inquired. "Is that Diana on the phone? Tell her she stills owes me seven dollars from first grade-"
"Hold up, Vickie," I said into the phone before frowning at Tracey. "Who is Diana?"
"You remember, the girl that-"
"Never mind." I directed my attention back towards the phone. "So, can you pick me up from school tomorrow?"

"I sure can. What time do you get out?"
"At three fifteen."
"Okay I'll be waiting for you after."
"Okay."
"Bye Vickie."
I hung up the phone and started jumping around in excitement. I was so happy that things were finally working out for me for once in my life.

"Now, can you tell me what you're so happy about?" Tracey asked.
"I'm rich, b-"
"Look, now, just 'cause you got money doesn't mean you can curse me out."
"I was gonna say-"
"I know what you were gonna, but I'll let it go for a trip to McDonalds."
I shook my head and smiled. "Alright, let's go."
