Chapter 47

"No way, was that Tasha's dad?" One asked

"It didn't look like a sugar daddy!"

"I thought her dad was a mad drunk?"

"Yeah but look at him now, he looks so young and handsome. I can't believe it."

"You don't think he went into some kinda shady business, do you?"

"Who knows? Maybe that's how she got that car."

"Do you think she did surgery?"

"You bet! She wasn't this pretty!" Susan sneered.

I hated the way they talked and I was prepared to ignore them but then, Nelson spoke up.

"And you were?" He asked, glaring at Susan. "Just because your situation is bad today, it doesn't mean things will never change for the better. Someone's life turned great and here you are saying a lot of shit in front of her. Have you no shame?"

His words got them all bowing in guilt. They suddenly turned mute, leaving me shocked.

I was shocked, not because they had quiet down but because of how Nelson spoke up for me. But, that was Nelson.
