24 HOURS EARLIER.....
"Alright class, make sure you read chapters 10-12 this weekend. There will be a quiz over it as soon as you walk in Monday!"
School was finally over. My best-friend Kimmy came over to me at my locker.
"10 mo days and a bitch is out of here."
"yay?"
"You mad im a senior and you got a year left."
"We get it Kimberly."
"Bitch , if you keep calling me that we gon have a problem."
"Who names they baby just Kimmy," I said laughing.
"Girl, come on before coach make us do a lap."
She started to drag me outside.
"uh uh. I aint going today. Fuck that. My auntie said I didnt have to go so im not."
"Damn bitch you gon leave me hanging?"
"Sorry sis, I scheduled a D.AAAAAAA!"
She smirked, "Okay sus I support. Go get you some dick. Ill call you when practice over so we can get into the city tonight."
"Bet. Aye, you tryna smoke real quick?"
"Hell yeah. I already got one rolled in my car."
When we finished smoking, I walked to my car and she walked to the track.
I headed to my baby's house. I was lookin forward to seeing his fine ass today.
When I pulled up Elijah was waiting on his porch.
As I walked up he asked me,
"Where have you been?"
"I cant get a hey? Baby how was school? Nothing"
"Dont skip over my question."
"Nigga I was talking to Kimmy a lil after school. We smoked and stuff damn. You aint nobody damn daddy."
"Didnt I tell you to stop hanging around that bitch?"
"What you not gon do is disrespect my mother fucking best friend. You cant tell me who my friends are. You know what? Fuck you"
As I was about to walk away, I felt my body jerk back as Elijah was pinning me again the house.
"Yes I can tell you who the fuck you can hang around. Leave her the fuck alone. You mines."
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF ME."
He let me go and I fell down coughing.
"You're crazy!" I yelled running to my car. What the fuck was wrong with this nigga. My auntie told me to leave the older dudes alone. My dumb ass didnt listen
When I got home , auntie was there.
"Hey baby, how was school?"
"Fine," I said starting to go up the stairs
"Noliana Jae Watkins, get your ass down those stairs.
I slowly walked back down cursing to myself.
"Come here!"
She examined my body.
"Who did this?" she said touching my neck starting to get angry.
"Nobody TT , I just uuhh I hit myself with a discus today at practice that's all."
"Practice huh?How is that possible when your coach called me some time ago saying you didnt come. So tell me the truth,who put their hands on you?"
I lowered my head. God,I was stupid.
"You can tell me Nola," she said lifting my head.
"A dude ive been talking to, Elijah," I damn near whispered.
"Elijah?" She was pissed. "That 22 year old boy I specifically told you to not mess with?!"
"Im sorry."
"Go to your room. We will speak later."
As I made it to my room, I thought to facetime Kimmy.
"Wassup hoe. Ayee, Dj having him a lil party tonight. Me and you should slide."
"Girllll."
"Oh shit bitch. Spill."
I put the camera on my neck.
"I KNOW THAT NIGGA AINT PUT HIS HANDS ON YOU."
After those words were said, Kimmy hung up.
A fee minutes later,my room door slammed closed.
"Where he at bitch?" Kimmy said holding her tazer and mace.
"Kimmy, really?"
"How are you calm?"
"Its not a big deal."
"NOT A BIG DEAL? Come here. let me see."
She touched my neck and looked at me. Her attitude had now softened.
"Look Nola. Its never okay for a dude to put his hands on you. AT ALL. So this is a big deal. And im sorry this happened to you best friend," she said hugging me.
"So many women who are dead or in the hospital said the same thing you did it isnt a big deal. Delete his number, you're done with him. Period."
"I know sis. I just. I guess im hurt. I really love him."
"And that is 100% okay. It just happened. Trust me, he aint the first or last nigga to break your heart and you out of all people know that."
"Girl what would I do without you?" I said squeezing her.
"Not a damn thing," she said laughing.
I pushed her off my bed.
"Damn whore.
Kimmy got up and walked over to my dresser. She picked up a picture of my mom.
"I wish I could've met her. She was my god mom and the only time I saw her in person was in a damn casket."
"Yeah, I know."
"She shoulda been my mom instead of washed out ass Patricia."
"Dont talk about your mom like that."
"Fuck her."
I snuck up behind Kimmy and she turned around. We were face to face.
"You scared me."
"yeah?"
I felt the sexual tension and I have no clue why.
Kimmy stepped back.
"I uh I uh gotta go," she said before running out my room.
What was that all about.?
A couple minutes later, a text popped up.
Best Friend👯♀️❤️:I forgot I had work.
