Summer of Secrets •BWWM MATURE ROMANCE•

Chapter Twenty-four

"Please someone help me!" I was drowning. Water was filling my lungs and my eyes became weak with every second I tried to breathe. I reached for the light but nothing happened until I heard my daddy's voice.

"Wake up baby! Wake up"

"Daddy I can't someone is trying to kill me!"

"It's all in your head. Wake up and see the truth"

My father's voice faded away as I was woken up by Breonna's voice.

"KENSLEY WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!"

I was barely conscious when she came in my room. It sounded as if she was pissed about something.

Rubbing my eyes and sitting up "Girl what's wrong, I was sleeping."

"I don't care it's three in the afternoon! How could you do this to me Kensley?" She says in a distraught tone.

"Bre I don't understand what you're saying" I was finally woke enough to see Breonna was really upset about something.

"Billy called me and told he was told that I was a sex worker and he was really upset that I didn't tell him! He said he needed a break" I could see the tears in her eyes.

"Whoa what! Who told him?" I say jumping up from my bed to comfort her.

"Don't play dumb Kensley! You did. You were the only person who knew about my job. I trusted in you and you betrayed me" she had a disgusted look on her face.

"What the Hell Breonna I didn't tell him shit!"

"Just stop! You couldn't let me have this, just because your little boyfriend turned out to be a crazy freak doesn't give you the right to break what I had going on." she crossed her arms looking at me

"Wow that's really low" I said in disbelief.

"FUCK YOU" she snapped at me

"BITCH FUCK YOU" I yelled back

My mama came running into my room "Whoa Whoa what's going on with you two?" She had her uniform on getting ready to leave.

"Sorry Mama J, nothing. I'm going to pack my things and head back to Florida early." Breonna says looking at me.

My mama tried to persuade her "Breonna no don't leave we have one more days left here."

"Nah- Mama stop let her leave. If she feels I tried to back stab her then I guess we were never friends." It hurt me to say that but it was the truth.

Breonna rolled her eyes and left my room.

"We have a lot to talk about when I get home." My mama says.

"And when's that? You're never here! This whole summer break you've been working Mama!"

"Hey Na don't you put that anger out on me! You knew this was the plan this summer. I can't help the hospital is short staff due to so many deaths and hospitalized people" she says.

She was right. I couldn't blame her for anything, she's doing the best she can and dealing with all the deaths and hospital stuff I couldn't imagine how much a strain that could be on her.

I signed but couldn't get the words out I was sorry for talking to her like that.

She looked at me and changed the subject. "I need you to take your Auntie Diane those cooked meals in the fridge"

I've been so wrapped up in my love life I forgot about my great Aunt who still lived on the Island.

I set down on my bed, exhausted from early this morning and just now. Everything around me was crashing right beneath me and I had no control over it.
