__________Friday morning. 5:30 am. No car.
I was dressed and ready for school.
I wore low-rise jeans, with a black belt, a black long sleeve shirt, with piles of necklaces, bracelets, and rings. I paired it with a small off-white purse, and black converse. I had my hair in a low bun.ESME'S OUTFIT
I just needed a ride to school. Just call Rosslyn.
Stop being a pussy, Tate. You have to own up for your shit.

Rosslyn: Yes?
Me: Hi, can you please give me a ride to school? Julian has my car.
Rosslyn: Tate, you know I don't have a car. Romeo drives me.
Me: I know but I know you're pissed, and I wouldn't ask Rome to drive me unless you're okay with it.
She was quiet for a minute...
Rosslyn: On our way. Just promise me we'll talk?
Me: Promise.

"Hey!" I smiled, as I got into the back of Romeo's red car, "Thanks again."
"It's no problem," Romeo reassured.
"Ross? I'm sorry."
"Em.. you don't have to apologize. There was no reason why I should be pissed. I just want you to get help, please." Her voice was almost pleading.

She let out a surprised gasp, "Really?"
"Yes." I rolled my eyes.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
She held out her pinky and made me pinky promise, something we've down since we met.
"Thank fucking god. I don't think I could handle another day of you guys bullshit." Romeo laughed.
"Oh shut the fuck up." I snickered.
