Chapter Four: A Friend in Need

The next day Anna called around to her friends to find someone to help her move her things. She only had two morning classes that day and the afternoon free. Plus, it was her night off of work, so this day was as good as it was going to get, but to her dismay everyone was busy.

She cried out in frustration as she heard a knock on the door. “Who is it?” she called out.

“It’s Remy,” she heard a voice from the other side of the door. “Ya alright it dere?”

“Yeah,” she said as she opened the door. “Just havin’ a crisis, that’s all.”

“Anyt’ing Remy could help wid?” he asked.

She thought for a moment. “Well, maybe,” she said as he came into her apartment. “You see, I need the get mah stuff from my old place, but ah don’t wanna go over there alone.” He looked puzzled by her words. “My ex-boyfriend still lives there, and I don’t…”

She stopped choking on the words looking as if she were going to cry. “Hey, it’s alright, chere.” He tried to take her arm, but she flinched. He noticed a good sized bruise there and said, “Did he do dat to you?”

She couldn’t speak. She just nodded her head and turned away. “Ah’m sorry. Ah…”

“Don’t have t’say not’hing,” he said, putting his hands on her shoulders. “No real man ever do dat to a lady, especially one he loves.”

She looked back at him and smiled. “Ah wish ah could have figured that out long ago.”

“Den dis not the only time he hurt you?” he asked.
