It was going on 10 p.m in the state of Maryland as Nyasia and her parents left her mother's coworker party. They were all piling in the car when a garbage truck collided into the passenger side of the car making it swirl out of control.

Nyasia dad hopped in the back seat covering her body with his, he knew the possibilities that could happen to him not having on a seat belt but he was only worried about protecting his only child.

The car stopped swirling and it landed in the middle of road. Just when they thought the worst part passed another car smash into the drivers side full speed making it flip multiple times. Before everything went dark Nyasia could hear her father yelling he loved her over and over.

Three days later Nyasia woken from her coma to find her room empty and depressing. She tried to call out for her parents then broke down remembering the details of what happened. Her heart monitors started beeping like crazy as a nurse and doctor walked in.

She didn't talk for a month straight going from foster home to foster home, no one could get a word out of her. One day she was called to say somebody adopted her, she was hiding how excited she really was. She missed having parents, even if they weren't her blood.

She walked to her aunt and her older cousin and she smiled. She always enjoyed her aunt company, her aunt informed her they would be moving to Georgia. Once in Georgia the aunt that she once knew disappeared, she treated Nyasia as if she was scum on the bottom of her shoe.

A week of getting used to sleeping on the floor in the corner while her aunt and kids occupied the beds and couches, she only fed Nyasia after her kids got full. It was barely scraps left when Nyasia got her food but she never complained because she had no where to go. She didn't know anyone in Georgia.

Her aunt finally got her enrolled in school and that was the only thing Nyasia was looking forward. She could make friends, eat free food and get smarter. On her first day of school her period came on and she didn't know what to do and when she asked her aunt what to do she brushed her off and told her to just put tissue between her legs.

Doing as her aunt said she thought everything would be okay until a boy called out her blood stain on the back of her khaki pants. Nyasia wasn't the type to care what people said about her, she wrapped her sweater around her waist and continued to walk to lunch. 

You could hear her stomach growling from miles away, she was happy to finally have food to herself. She stood in line grabbing chicken nuggets and fries with a fruit and chocolate milk. She went to enter her lunch code and the lunch lady asked for her lunch money.

Growing confused Nyasia couldn't do anything as she took the lunch from her, she ran to the bathroom starving and crying, she didn't know when would be the next time she can eat.

"I saw her run in here." A girl said.

"Than your stupid self must be blind." Another girl said.

"Why are you always trying to make new friends?" The last one said with much attitude in her voice.

"Hi, are you okay in there?" Nyasia heard knocks being on the door.

"You ever thought she came in the bathroom because she didn't want to be bothered?" The third girl said.

"My name is Ivory but people call me Memo, can you tell me your name?" Memo said leaning closer to the door as Nyasia sniffled.

"Nyasia." She whispered.

"Can you come out? No one should cry by their self." She said. Nyasia unlocked the door, this was the reason she came to school, she wanted friends.

"We saw what happened. Why are you crying over this nasty food? Those chicken nuggets aren't even real meat." 

"Mulan! You are so mean." The girl Memo said.

"You go eat it then." Mulan said.

"Do you eat chipotle? Our uncle is bringing us food, we can get you something." Remy said.

"I don't know what that is." Nyasia asked.

"Do you like chicken or steak? Brown or White rice? Pinto or black beans? That's mainly what you have to answer and add extra stuff on like lettuce and stuff." Memo said.

"I like chicken and white rice, no beans please? And can they put cheese?" Nyasia asked trying not to overdo anything.

"Yeah they can, what juice do you want?" Remy asked pulling out her phone.

"Root beer, thank you." Nyasia added. 

"You have blood on your pants? Are you on your period?" Mulan asked.

"Yes." Nyasia said with her head down ashamed.

"What size panties and pants do you wear? My mom could drop off some things." Memo asked.

"I couldn't take anything else from y'all, I have no money." Nyasia said sadly.

"We have no money either, our parents have it all but since they care for us their money goes to us and now whatever we get will go to you because you're our friend now." Memo smiled.

"We don't care for you yet but we can learn." Mulan said.

"Can you fight?" Remy asked making Memo glare at her.

"Are you in our grade?" Memo asked hoping she wasn't trying to hard.

"I'm in the 6th grade."

"Okay we're all in the same grade." Mulan said and that's what started their friendship.

It's been two months since the day in the bathroom and ever since then the girls and her have been attached to the hip. Nyasia was sad since school was going to end soon and summer would begin, she was walking home from school when she saw a help wanted sign in a supermarket. She walked in looking for a worker.

She got introduced to the manager of the supermarket and she asked for a job, since Nyasia was only 12 she couldn't get hired but she begged until Mrs.Wilkons caved in. She was going to be the bag person working off of tips.

Nyasia had the job for three years until Mrs.Wilkons passed away and since Nyasia was only 15 she had no choice but to quit because she was still underage. She had $1530 saved up from tips and what Mrs.Wilkons would pay extra.

During the three years Nyasia ran away but continued going to school, she would hide in abandoned houses or stay with Mrs.Wilkons most nights but that was no longer an option now. She took babysitting jobs and finally got a jump at applebees once she turned 16.

She had that job until recently where they fired her because she have been late too many times, she sold most of her shoes and clothes to get money to afford a room at the cheapest motel she could. 

Today was the day she bought a bottle of sleeping pills. Today was going to be the day she ended it all, she was going to end the pain and the struggle of not feeling wanted. But before she could do that the same girls that saved her from hunger in 6th grade knocked on the door saving her once again.

Ivory Whitaker | Memo

By time Nyasia finished the whole story I was in tears, you never know what a person going through. If we would of came any later we would have been too late to save her.

I got from my spot to hug her letting her cry on my shoulder as I cried on hers.

"That's a relief." Avery sighed as we all looked at him.

"What?" Mulan asked.

"I was judging the fuck out of her, I thought she was a prostitute." Remy started rolling and I glared at her.

"I'm sorry but he's so fucking stupid." She was still laughing.

"You was really going to kill yourself?" NeeNee asked.

"Yes, I just can't take it no more. I tried so hard and every time I thought I was finally getting somewhere something else knocked me down. I just can't do it no more." She cried.

"Why didn't you come to us? Why didn't you tell us none of this? We would of helped." Mulan said clearing her throat acting like she wasn't crying.

"Y'all do everything for me, I didn't want to be such a burden on y'all." 

"You think I deal with Remy for my enjoyment? I don't like her but she's stuck with me but not because I'm obligated to because I want to." Mulan said.

"What?" Remy asked making me laugh.

"Well you could pack your stuff and you can come home with us and we'll talk to my dad together. It's no way you staying in this nasty ass room any longer." He said hugging her.

"What if your parents say no? What if they don't want to deal with me or it's not enough room?" 

"Nyasia JC and Alyssa have 18 rooms in their house, a bowling alley, a movie theater, a arcade room, a bumper cars arena and a painting ball gym. How the hell wouldn't they have enough room?" NeeNee asked.

"Seriously and even if then you'll still have somewhere to go. You can come with me to papa house or even my parents house, you know Kai wouldn't mind." Mulan said.

"Can you at least ask your parents first before we get there?" Ny asked and I nodded taking out my phone. 

We started talking until Remy yelled like somebody was killing her, I followed her eyes and I jumped on the bed. It was the biggest rat I ever seen in my life sitting in the corner like this was his house. 

Avery yelled pushing me making me land on the floor as he went towards the headboard still yelling.I sat on top of the dresser trying to throw something at it. 

"Avery you a bitch." Mulan laughed recording him. 

"Man that ain't no rat, that's a- I don't know but it ain't a rat." He was holding on to Remy looking at it. I was laughing then someone started banging on the door and that made the rat run and we all started yelling.

"IT'S JUMPING! IT'S FUCKING JUMPING! IT'S GOING TO KILL ME!" Avery yelled panicking on the bed.

"I'm fucking leaving!" NeeNee said running out the room as a man was standing there. I was the next to run outside.

"You got my money?" The man asked looking at Nyasia.

"Nah she ain't staying here no more, she don't owe you money fam." Avery said pushing Nyasia behind him.

"The bitch been here for a week and haven't been paying me, either someone pays more or y'all going to have some fucking problems." 

"If all my little sisters wasn't right here, I'll make your face unrecognizable." Mulan gave him that the fuck face making me giggle.

We're all older than him😕

"Now here's your money and imma add extra, go kill that big ass cat in there." Avery threw the money in his face than walked away.

"OH-FUCKING-KAY brother! You got fucking money." Mulan yelled.

"And balls, that nigga looked like the fucking undertaker. I wasn't jumping in if you got beat up." NeeNee said.

"Your scary ass get on my nerves." Remy laughed.

"I'm not scary, I'm just the thinker out of all of y'all since y'all obviously don't think before y'all do something."

"Yeah whatever." Mulan said.

"Did you ask them?" Nyasia asked holding onto her bags.

"No the rat distracted me, I doubt they care anyway." I said.

"Why you acting like you don't know them? My father knows the struggle of sleeping on the streets or not knowing when his next meal is and my mother never had a mother, they'll both understand in a way." 

"Alright, I'm ready." Avery grabbed her bags and we walked in.

"That's y'all?" I heard ma yell out.

"Yeah." I walked in the living room to see them laid on the couch watching a movie and I smiled.

They will always be my relationship goals.

"You always pickle blocking." Daddy said to Avery as he pulled them apart and sat in the middle of them.

"Somebody shoulda been a cockblocker, this is just nasty." Avery said as I looked at him.

"Then both of us wouldn't be here, you idiot." 

"PrincessNy, I didn't even see you. Where you been baby?" Ma asked hugging Ny, she said she always liked Nyasia because she was so humble and little things pleased her. I guess I know why now.

"That's actually why we here, can she stay here?" 

"Why is that even a question? Of course, how long?" Daddy asked.

"Um let's say until college." Avery said.

"Wait so you mean live here?" Ma asked.

"If that's a problem then I don't have to but I was just hoping I could." Ny asked nervously.

"Why? What happened?" Daddy asked and Ny looked at me and I nodded.

"I've been homeless since 7th grade, I've been staying in abandon apartments and sometimes in parking lots." Nyasia said.

"I know how that feel, come here." Daddy said holding his arms out as Ny embraced him wiping her face.

"What happened to your guardian or parents?" 

"My parents died in a accident and my aunt was suppose to take care of me but she had me sleeping on news paper and starved me for her kids." 

"Gimme her full name later. Aubree, Jaya, Kai and I will go have a talk with her." I looked at her laughing.

And she always tryna play innocent, when she's no where near there.

"Alright well go get the rest of your clothes and pick any room on the second or third floor." Daddy said.

"This is all my stuff, I had to sell most of my clothes and shoes for food." 

"Alright before you go to sleep go raid my closet, I have a few clothes I can't fit and Memo damn sure can't fit them." 

"Hurtful." I whined glaring at her.

"Anyways after school tomorrow I'll take you shopping and get you your own card that we'll put money on every week."

"You don't even take me shopping." Avery said giving her that Nick Young face making me laugh.

"We don't like y'all, the only reason we even buy y'all stuff because we can't have y'all making us look bad." Daddy said,

"Plus both of y'all already got a closet full of clothes that y'all don't even wear. Speaking of we going to clean out all y'all closets." Ma added.

"Gotta blast." Avery laughed running up the stairs.

"Whatever, did y'all get my pickles?" I asked going towards the kitchen.

"I got you four jars." Daddy yelled.

I knew they loved me.
