Against All Odds - Chapter 11
**PLEASE READ! I KNOW IT'S BEEN FOREVER** Based on a true story... About a young interracial couple that faces obstacles they may not be able to overcome. Will they be able to make it just based on their feelings for each other alone?
I'm soooo sorry for taking so long, but yeah my heart just wasn't in for a while.. as I said it's based on my life and obviously my life continue and I still associate with "David". Which kinda leaves me hanging without an ending, but let's not worry about that :D

Against All Odds:
Chapter 11
Racist. Racist. Racist.
His family is racist.
I was stuck in pause. My body kept going and had the conversation, but my mind was stuck ten paces behind still trying to wrap itself on what was being said to me.
David's family is racist. Even as I thought it to myself I still couldn't seem to grasp it.
"They're racist?" I finally brought myself to ask it.
"No, no." he responded hastily, startling me. "They just don't believe in interracial couples." And how is that not racism?
"They think it's wrong?"
"Yes," he answered reluctantly.
"So they think I'm wrong?"
"What?" he asked very confused. "No, I told you they have no problem with black people."
"But you said they don't like interracial couples, that they think its wrong. I'm mixed, which means my mom and dad were an interracial couple does that mean they think I'm wrong?"
"No, they just think that you shouldn't date white people," he replied.
That one caught me. I didn't realized I wasn't breathing until David started calling my name to see if I werel on the phone.
"Kiara?" he called for a third time.
"Yes." I answered.
"Just checking. Thought I lost service." he said and an awkward silence followed until I broke it.
"So they don't know about me?" I already knew the answer to this question before I even asked it.
"No," he paused. "And I don't really plan on them finding out, I'm so sorry," he started to talk faster, but I could tell he was being sincere. "It's just easier if they don't know. And I'm not like that, but they are. It's not like it changes anything and I'm really sorry, but you understand don't you? It's not like I want to keep it from them."
"I understand. I really do." I said. And honestly I did mean it. I understood.
He didn't want drama with his family. Though we hadn't talked very much about his family. From the little that he did talk about them I could tell that he loved them very much, so I could see why he wouldn't want them mad at him. After all we're only fourteen can I really demand that he tell his family about me? Of course not.
"You sure?" he asked anxiously.
"Yeah I am," I said added a reassuring smile, which wasn't exactly needed since we were on the phone.
"Alright"
"Yeah."
After what seemed to be an eternity we finally go back to our easy flow on conversation that we usually have. I took all my nagging thoughts and locked them in a drawer in the back of my mind to be visited later so I could enjoy our conversation for the rest of the night.
The minutes sailed by and soon, by our surprise, turned into hours.
Now, I could stay up forever, but David is more prone to falling asleep than I am. So far he's been the one to fall asleep on me every time.
"You tired?" I asked him halfway hoping he'd say no.
"Uhm, kinda."
"Oh," I took a moment and continued, "is that code for 'yes, but I don't want to be bitched at'?"
He laughed and said, "Yeah."
I could hear his smile in his voice, which made me smile. I felt silly, but couldn't stop it. He just makes me so... happy.
