Still Adjusting (New Adjustments part 2)

34

"Aye D, ?" Alex says poking his head into my room.

Turning around and looking at him. He has on some black overalls and a grey crew neck underneath.

"Have you seen my gold chain?"

"Nah, I don't think I have. Ask Que, I think he wore it a few nights ago."

I have on some boyfriend jeans with the knees cut out, and one of my old rock graphic long sleeves. I'm grabbing my orange and black high top retro 1s to put on.

Now that we are all ready, Que is going to drive us all to the party. Trey should already be here.

About 20 minutes later we're walking into the party and go our separate ways.

"Hey Bev, have you seen Jos?" I walked over to Bev, from Jos' art class, and asked.

"Yea, I saw her earlier looking for a drink. Check the kitchen." She said.

I said my thanks and walked into the kitchen on the other side of the house.

Man! This place is packed! I'm not a fan of crowds so I know for a fact I'm not staying long.

I struggled into the kitchen. There's just as many people...everywhere. I start looking around for any familiar faces or the drinks. Looks like I found the drinks first. Jos has got to be around here somewhere.

I grabbed a wine cooler from the bucket of ice in the corner.

"Hey, what's your name baby?" Some drunk dude standing by the bucket asked.

"Ummm not interested." As I was about to step away, he grabbed my arm.

"Don't be like that baby, I'm only trying to be friendly."

I looked down at his hand and back at his face. Then leaned close to his ear so he could hear me better.

"I said I'm not fucking interested and if you don't remove your hand from me, I will be far from friendly. Got it?" I gave him a death stare but kept my voice in a friendly tone.

"Shit my bad." He released me and walked away.

Asshole.

I walked out to the backyard where it was a little quieter to take a breath. I didn't know there would be this many people and now I'm overwhelmed. I can't find Trey, my home girls...anybody.

The trees started rustling as the wind blew.

"Well well well, it's a beautiful night isn't it?"

Oh hell no, not him again.

"You know I love you right? I love everything about you. I love your hair, your smile, the way you smell, the look in your eyes when you're excited. I love the way you touch me, the way you hold me when you're scared. The way you walk, the relaxed face you make when you're sleeping, the look on your face when I hit that spot. I love the way you think, I love the ideas you have, I love your goofy sense of humor, I love everything girl! You are my everything and I'll do anything for you. You are my world, my heart, forever and ever. I love you."

"Wake up dumb bitch!"

I quickly opened my eyes as cold water splashed on my face.

"What the fuck is your problem?" Wait, where am I? Are we moving? "Where am I? Where are you taking me?" I swear I'm going to beat his fucking ass when I get out of this. I will kill this nigga the first chance I get. I'm sick and tired of this nigga and his weird ass obsession with me!

"Don't worry your pretty little head. Ima get what's mine and then I won't need you any more. But first ima let your little puppy sweat a little without you. Maybe send him a finger, better yet! I'm going to send him a nipple. He'll fucking know I mean business." Kevin is giving me crazy man vibes and I do not like this. He's probably on something.

FUCK, I'm screwed.

*TREY'S POV*

"Drink drink drink..."

"Damn, chill." Mar said as Antwon gave him the cup full of liquor. He sighed then started drinking. We all continued chanting until he finished. "AHHHHH!"

"AAAYYYEEEE!" We all started jumping around him.

"Hey Trey, where's Dria?"

I turned around and saw Jos with Nae. "I thought she was with y'all. I haven't seen her since we got here a few hours ago. Did y'all call her?"

"Yea, twice. Her phone probably died. Where's Que or Alex?"

"Last I saw Que was with Nolan and the guys playing beer pong. I don't know about Alex. But let me know when you find her."

They left to go find Alex. I looked at my watch. It's an hour till and there are no messages from her.

"Iight bruh, you gotta go next." Antwon held out the cup for me to drink.

"Nah bruh, I gotta go find my girl real quick." I dapped them up and went looking for Alex.

I walked to the front yard where a few guys from the football team were throwing a ball around. "Aye, have y'all seen Alex?" They shook their heads and I continued my search. A few minutes later I ended up finding him on his phone while a cheerleader was all up on him.

"Aye bruh, you seen yo sister?" I asked.

He gave me a strange look. "I was gonna ask you the same thing. I haven't seen her since we got here. Where's Que?"

"He's with Nolan and em. Jos and Nae was looking for her too so I sent them to him."

Where could she be?

"Okay look, I'll look around upstairs. Talk to Que and let me know when y'all find her." he looks concerned.

"You good bro?" I asked.

"Nah, I have a bad feeling about this. Something feels wrong. But keep me posted." He walked off towards the stairs.

"You seen D?" Que asked as I walked up to him.

"I was coming over here to ask you the same thing, Alex hasn't seen her either. He looking for her upstairs."

"Do you have her location on your phone?" He asked.

I dug my phone out of my pocket and went to the 'Find My Friend' app. "Yea. Okay her phone is outside in the back but her watch is going north. Did she say anything about leaving to you?"

"Y'all aint find her yet?" Alex said walking up to us with Nae, Jos, and Khris behind him. From the looks on their faces, they haven't seen her either.

"It says her phone is outside but her watch is going north." I walked towards the backyard with them following. We searched the backyard and quickly found her phone with the screen cracked but still on.

"Fuck!" Alex yelled.

"How far is she?" Jos asked.

"She's about 72 miles out so about an hour, hour and a half maybe."

"I can make that in about forty-five minutes. Let's go." Que pulled out his keys and practically ran to his car.

"Shit, I'll follow y'all. I have my car." Jos said.

"Nah, y'all stay here. We'll let y'all know what's up."

The reluctantly agreed and went back inside. I can't have them going and we don't know what's up yet. I don't want them getting hurt.

We all got into the car and followed her location. God, please keep her safe. Whatever is going on, please don't let us be too late.
