Chapter 10: Zaria

Patience P.O.V

I got out of the car and grabbed on to these two girls that were extremely wasted. I was Wasted but not as intoxicated as I thought, well at least until I got into that house. I entered this beautiful home with trashed decorations all over. I saw all kinds of drugs laying around ready to be taken. But I set my views on the booze. Once I completely took myself out with whiskey I went over to a large group of high kids. I was drunk out of my mind. "Nigga try this shit for real!" One strange teenager said to me passing me a bong. I knew all the dangers but I was drunk. So I got high. Now I was drunk and high as f*ck for the first time. I was dancing and grinding and jumping around the house. "Hey cutie." A familiar voice said from behind me. I was obviously drunk so I turned all tipsy and responded. "I'm sexy to you babe." I said as I tripped over my own feet. "Follow me." He said taking my hand and bring me to the stairs. I became really sick. I tripped up the stairs and face planted. The man pulled me up the stairs and held me by my arms. It was chad. "Hey." He said cheerfully. No matter how high I was I still knew I couldn't forgive that bastard. "Get off me you sick bastard." I said backing up but I backed up a little to far and fell down the stairs. I was luckily okay but after that I took my shoes off and started to leave. I lost chad in the crowd so I decided to stay. By the end of the night I was extremely high on who knows what by this point and drunk as I said out of my mind. Morning came and of course I woke up with a hangover, vomit, and beer bottles covering me. I had a major migraine. "Man this sucks." I said scratching my head. "Where am I?" I asked myself aloud. Nobody replied. "Well shit." I said searching for my phone. Luckily I still had it. I checked the time and searched my location. I was stuck an hour away from home and it was almost lunch time. Thank god it was the weekend but now I had to get a hold of cameron. So I called him. He picked up. "Hey can my head hurts hella bad can you please pick me up at *address of the apartment building* I'll be waiting outside." I asked. "Bad timing and your funny acting like your at the bigger drug dealers house right now, come on patience it's a hangover not rocket science. Calm down, drink some water and make sure your stable then walk home alright love you hoe bye." He said ending the call. "Damn it." I said rolling my eyes. I better get out of here though. I snook out of the house and called a speedy. At least I'd get home. I arrived back at my house and I got inside and I fell into the couch. "Uggggh" I yelled. "Hey baby hangover." Cameron said sitting down with a smile on his face. "Hi.." I said miserably. "Just letting you know I was in that druggies house, look" I said showing him my phone of photos I took while I was drunk. He studied the photos and expressed some scary faces. "Patience never go there again, your lucky your alive, you know that kid tries to kill people with his drinks and drugs." He said firmly. "I know cam I learned the hard way." I said falling asleep. "Get some rest." He said patting my back. Finally a nap.

•the next day•

"Wake up faggot!" Cameron yelled. "I'm up ugh." I said extremely tired. "Breakfast is ready" he said passing me a plate and rubbing my head. "Thanks bro." I replied and took a bite out of my breakfast. Defiantly not drunk or high anymore. Just another 3 months till my system fully clears it. "Plans for today?" Cameron asked. "Nah watching Disney all day if that counts though." I replied. "How about you?" I asked. "Going to win her heart back." Cameron said. "Cam no if you can't even say her name how are you going to talk to her?" I asked and offered some advice. "This is my decision! Stop trying to boss me around!" He yelled. "I'm not I'm just saying." I replied quietly. "I'm sorry you're right, that's a bad idea I'm sorry patty." He replied rushing to hug me and taking his jacket off. "Okay?" I replied. Such sudden change of heart, interesting. "Are you feeling okay?" I asked out of curiosity. "I'm fantastic." He replied walking upstairs. He's high. He only says fantastic when he's completely ripped. "Cameron come back." I said. He came back down stairs "yes my dearest sister." He said laughing a bit. "How many?" I asked in the most serious tone. "I beg your pardon?" He replied. "How many hits, you know what I mean." I snapped. "5." He replied rubbing his eyes. "Cam come on" I said sadly. "I'm really sorry I just make everything worse don't i?" He asked. "No cam I just hate to see you like this, weed doesn't tKe away anything the problem will still remain high or not." I informed him. "I guess that's true, I'm sorry." He said frowning. "It's fine but if I catch you with it or on it again I'll tell mom." I warned. "I promise." He replied and walked back upstairs. Phew.

•Sunday•

"Im going out!" I yelled throughout the house before opening the door. "K peace g!" Cameron responded. I was off to the mall. Just some nice alone time to chill and take a break. That group of sketchy kids, they were back. "Hey to...oh shit never mind sorry. Respect ma'am." One attractive guy said before stepping out of my way. "It's ight bro how's it swinging?" I replied. Why not be nice plus I never get to use my street talk so might as well. "Oh pretty chill dawg how bout yoself?" He replied. "Pre good, so what's your name homie?" I asked. "Beau, how bout you?" He asked. "Patience, well that's what my mom calls me, I don't know my birth name." I responded. "Aww that must suck g, yo wanna chill with my homies?" Beau asked. "Sure dawg." I responded. Beau walked me to his friends house and we hung out there. Weed was all I smelt. "Oh beau, I don't smoke." I said holding his arm. He looked down and smiled. "It's ight g we won't smoke with ya around." He assured me. "Alright." I responded. He introduced me to everyone. It was a group of 4 including beau. One was Zachary, another was maverick, and the other one was Emerson. They welcomed me and included me in their conversations. I became a member of the group. Beau and I were tight af but I liked the other guys as well. Emerson was shy. Zachary was funny as shit. Maverick was just high. Beau was kind, smart, sarcastic, sweet, and overall so cute. After our first hang out with my new friends, beau walked me home. When we got to my door I gave him a fist bump and a hug. "Respect my man, see ya around beau." I added with a wink. He winked in response. I came inside and started watching "finding nemo" with cameron. Mom came home and joined in. This was one of our first family movies in years. I decided to ask my mom what my birth name was and why she called me patience. "So mama bear why do you call me patience not my birth name?" I asked. "Oh baby girl I never called you by your birth name because I was always telling you to be patient. You started to call yourself patience and it stuck, your birth name is Zaria." She said in a calm tone and a smile. "Oh oh my god." I started to laugh and so did they. "So my names Zaria?" I reassured. "Yes z." She responded. "WHAT CALL ME ZARIA FROM NOW ON!!" I yelled I was so happy about my name. "Haha okay, Zaria." My mom said laughing. "Hey z." Cameron said nudging me. "Hey c." I responded nudging back. "Haha." We all said laughing. It was the best night ever. A night as a family. I night I'll never forget.

•6am monday•

"Zaria time to get up!" Mom yelled. "Okay I'm up." I responded. "Uggh." I said pushing myself to get dressed and get my bag and go. Cameron was waiting. "Come on z!" He yelled. "Okay I'm coming c!" I responded. We arrived at school. The last week before graduation. I speed through all my classes and I found myself once again waiting for cameron. He came up to the car with a new girl. She jumped in the back after violently kissing cameron. Cameron jumped in the car and drove away, forgetting me. "We'll have fun getting it on...jerk." I said to myself. "Yo patience." Beau yelled to me and I walked over to them. "Aye boys." I responded smiling at them all. "Need a lift?" Maverick asked. "Please." I smiled. I jumped in the back beside beau and they dropped me off. I jumped out and have them all fist bumps. "Respect brothas." I said backing away from the car. "Respect baby sis." They said driving away. I walked away with a smile on my face. I walked in to the living room and right smack dab in the middle of the floor a naked hoe and Cameron. Oh okay I'll just ignore the intercourse in the middle of the room. I ran to my room and called beau because I was bored. "Hey beau, can we chill?" I asked. "For sure patience." He responded ending the calm and no surprise, my doorbell rang I ran downstairs to answer the door and before opening it I said "it's okay guys I got it not like you would get up to answer it anyway." They ignored me. I opened the door and stepped out. "Hey." I said hugging him tight. "Yo, what's up?" He asked. "Bored shitless man." I responded. "Nah b you seem upset or pissed the fuck off." He said concerned. "Oh my brother left me stranded at school to go fuck this hoe. " I said almost monotone. "Oh shit man." He said laughing and putting his arm around me. "It'll be chill later g." He said rubbing my back. "Yee." I said laughing. "Yo my name isn't patience aye." I said. I told him the story and he really liked my name. "Zaria. My home slice Zaria." He tested it out. "I like it." He said laughing. I laughed in response. "Alright let's go to your house." I said to beau. "Yeah I don't think so z, I got a broken home g." He admitted to me. "Oh I'm sorry man." I apologized feeling really bad for what I said. "It's all good mate." He responded hugging me. We walked to the park and played hide and seek. I had an amazing time with him. Zachary, maverick, and Emerson came later on and joined in. I was so happy. They all made my worries go away. I was finally in a happy place especially with beau.
