"Dre I think I'm in love with you." His eyes widened. He looked shocked like I had six heads. "Are you serious Eve?" I quickly got embarrassed. My face turned bright red and my knees turn to spaghetti. He started to smile and giggled. My embarrassment turned to anger. " So you think my feelings are fucking joke?" "Wait I....." I pushed him hard.
" FUCK YOU DRE!" I pushed him again. "Eve calm down your tripping." I turned from him and slammed the door. I sat back on the couch and covered my  face. "Everything Ok?" Justice asked while rubbing her belly. She wrapping her arms around me and I completely broke down. I shook my head thinking how dumb I feel thinking Dre's flirting meant something. "I saw you have feelings for a boy before. She smiled and hugged me tighter" Justice said rubbing my back. "I'm so dumb." That was all I said to her the rest of the night.
    The next morning I walked justice to her mom's car tears were everywhere. "I promise to call every week, ok please be a safe girl," I said hugging her. "Ok, and I hope you and Dre fix y'all shit he'll be an idiot if he let you go." I giggled and opened the car door for her. Seeing the car drive off made me think how some paths are completely different. You think you'll always have a person in your life but things always come to an end. I feel my phone vibrating and I picked it up. It was my dad I rolled my eyes answered. "Hey" "Hey baby girl you need an I ride to school I'm on your side of town I'll drop you off?" I thought I should cause he has this nice ass black Jeep Wrangler and I could flex on Dre's ass. "Alright, I'll be there in 20 minutes." I booked it up the steps, I ran into my mom's room looking for a nice ass outfit. I found a bodysuit and a cute jacket to go over I don't wanna show too much. I looked myself in the mirror and I couldn't recognize myself I looked stronger like I could do anything I wanted. No wonder my mom likes stuff like this it boosts your self-esteem like a mf. I did my hair and added a little bit of jewelry to spice it up.
I walked outside and the birds were chirping the breeze was nice and the sun was just shining. "Hey." I said while clicking my seatbelt. "Who you tryna impress?" My eyes shot open. "Um, I don't know what you're talking about father." He chuckled, started the car, and pulled off. "So I visited your mom this morning." The car was silent. "When's the last time you seen her Eve?" "A few days ago but the doctor calls me and updates me on her multiple times a day." He nodded his head. "How would you feel if I took you back with me just for the weekend so you can finally meet your sisters.?" I didn't know what to say how awkward that shit would be I'm getting nervous just thinking about it. "Um IDK I'll see how it is this week cause I work you know." He looked disappointed. "Eve I know you not gonna open up to me right away but I want you to know I'm never leaving your side like again you're my baby girl." We pulled up to school and I turned the music up everyone's eyes were glued to my dad's car. Dad chuckled. " Damn you listen to hip hop just like daddy. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders and smirked. "I love you, Eve." I looked into his eyes and all I saw was regret. "I love you too dad I kissed his cheek and got out. When I got out everyone was shocked. I saw Dre and big mike talking and laughing but it didn't phase me. Then they looked at me dripped the fuck out, and their mouths almost hit the floor. I flipped my straight hair I rushed to do before my dad came. I walked past them without a glance I just felt their eyes all over me then I heard big mike. "Damn Eve must gotta Suga Daddy or sum cause I have never seen her get out of a whip that nice except for your homie." Dre said nothing. I took a deep breath in and continued walking. When I sat in my seat I heard whispers and people turning around looking at me when Dre walked in he snatched the attention right from me like always. He just was laughing and talking to other people like I ain't even exist. I went into my purse and took out my lip gloss and my mom's makeup mirror I took after she went into the hospital. When I was applying to my lips Kayla walked up to my desk. "Bitch just because you gotta someone riding yo fat ass around dont make you the shit remember I seen what you are. I jumped up and punched her in the mouth. "Bitch" I yelled. I hopped over my desk and kept hitting her in the face while she pulled my hair and scratched me but that was all she was doing. He then snatched my jewelry they were all over the place. Kayla and I were rolling on the floor for like 5 minutes before someone pulled us apart. I was out of breath and sweaty. The teacher yelled. "Eve Brown Kayla Arnold to the principles office immediately." Dre followed us out the door. The teacher yelled. "Andre come back to class right now!" He turned around and looked at the teacher. "Bitch fuck you." And continued walking. I sat down in the chair not believing what I just did.  Dre sat next to me. "Damn Eve I didn't know you had it like that." He chuckled. "Why are you talking to me?" I said while massaging my cheek where Kayla scratched me. Eve, you were tripping the other night you didn't have to talk to me like that you ain't let me not get one word out." "What the hell you expect you laughed right in my face after I told you how I feel." "Eve your not in love with me your crushing on a nigga." He said smiling. I rolled my eyes and turned the other way on the bench. "E it wasn't what you thought it was alright lemme show you how I'm feeling." He grabbed my hand and slowly moved forward. "Show me how Andre?" I looked at him. "Lemme takes you out tomorrow you probably gonna be suspended anyways ." My heart stopped and I started sweating In places I never sweat before. "Eve Brown." The secretary said. I stood up. "Yes, mam?" "The principal will see you now sweetheart." Dre stood up next to me. "I and big mike got some shit to handle today so I'll get you in the morning is that Ight with you?" I nodded my head.  "Ight bet." He pecked me on the cheek directly where Kayla scratched me. I watched him walk off. I took a deep breath in and walked into the office. "Sit down Ms. Brown." I have never even been in the principal's office before. "So you started the fight, right? Well, that's what I was told." I nodded my head. "Yes mam I did and I let my anger get the best of me. I'll accept any punishment you give me just let  me do my school work because I gotta keep this GPA up that's all I care about." "Look since this is your first time I'm gonna suspend you for the rest of the day and tomorrow, this won't go on your record, but I called your father and told him about all of this and he's on his way." I nodded my head "Damn I just got here" I whispered. "Here's your schoolwork for today and tomorrow. You have a good day Ms brown and stay out of trouble." I walked out of the office and sat back down at the bench in the lobby. "FAT BITCH!" Kayla screamed walking out of the nurse's office with an ice pack on her mouth and one eye shut. I gave her the finger and she walked back to class. My dad called me to come outside and he was standing outside his car. I opened the school doors and rolled my eyes. " Eve what you think is a fight club or something, so this what you do up in here?" "No this my the first time I ever got in trouble." "Now her broke ass mama talking bout pressing chart and shit get in the damn car." I got in and strapped my seat belt. Dad started to drive but stopped at this little diner I never seen before. "Come on cause I know all that tussling got you hungry." I got back out of the car irritated a ready to go back home. The embarrassment of me fighting Kayla started settling in I can't believe I let her get that reaction out of me. We walked into the diner and the cold air made my hairs on my arms stand up. We sat at the table and looked through the menu. "Ahem." I looked at my dad and he was staring right at me. " So you know you in trouble right?" "Huh?" He spoke again. "I said you know you're in trouble right and as your punishment you have no choice to come back with me for the weekend and meet your sisters and there better be no attitude." "So you think you can just come up here and act like a father where the fuck were you all those years when I needed yo ass!" "Look like the girl I know you angry at the world and shit but we're in public right now and ion mind snatching you out of this mf restaurant." I look around and everyone was looking at us, so I sat back down. " ion needs you Ight, I been fine without you so you can just go back where you came from. I'm not ready to meet them and you can't make me." He nodded his head. "Keep being angry at the world like you are! YOU GONNA END UP JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! Do you understand they don't know if she ever going to get up? Do you know that Eve?" "Man just take me home I already having a fucked up day, I gotta fucked up cheek I gotta clean up, and a terrible migraine I just need some sleep and time away from everyone." I get up and walk out. His car was unlocked so I just sat I'm not caring when he came out. I had to be sitting in there for at least 45 minutes when he FINALLY came outside! "Here I got you a to-go plate for later." I just ignored him. We pulled up to the apartment and I left without saying anything but I snatched the to-go plate cause I know I'll be hungry later. When I got in I sat on the couch looking around at how empty it was. "I covered my head and cried. I looked at the pictures of my mom smiling then rage shaded over me. I got up and snatched down all the pictures of my mom on the wall. She was so conceded she never put any of my pictures on the wall. I stomped on the frames and threw them against the wall. The glass was cutting my hands legs and feet. I yelped In pain knowing I just fucked up. I walked into the bathroom and jumped into the shower fully clothed just letting the cold water run down my body my skin stung so badly tears were constantly rolling down my face. I peeled off the wet clothes looking down at my naked body and held myself. I got out of the shower and looked at how much the stress showed on my face. I shook myself out of it with a deep exhale. I bandaged myself up and threw on my baggy sweats and laid on the couch I turned on the tv and Martin was on.  I laughed and smiled like I was a complete kid again.  I looked around the house was totaled I grabbed the broom and swept everything up and threw it in the trash all her pictures went into the garbage too. I felt relief when I slammed the lid on the trash can.
