Don't Leave Me Alone | Lil Skies

Chapter 3

I pull my dress down as much as I could, it was a little too short but it was so cute so I tried not to care. I had on a black spaghetti strap dress with laces that tied at the back. Maia had on a pink strapless dress. We looked sexy as hell.

"Hey Berny, she's with me," Maia says pointing at me.

The bouncer unlatches the rope and motions us to go in. It's so packed, people dancing everywhere, multicolored lights and lasers are flashing. It smells like alcohol, marijuana and a mixture between perfume and cologne.

"Come on," Maia says, she grabs my hand and leads me towards the back of the club.

"We're going to VIP, celebrities are always there."

And sure enough, we walk back there and see Lil Mosey. Wait. Lil Mosey. The last I heard he was on tour with Kimetrius. Maybe the tour was over.

"What are you doing here?" Maia asks, "aren't you supposed to be on tour with Lil Skies?"

He was drunk with a half drunk bottle of Crown Royal in his hand. He looks at us, licks his lips and winks. I just roll my eyes, I know Maia's blushing.

"We're on a break so we came back to his homes," he answers.

"Wait! Ki is here!" I blurt out. I'm not ready to see him. I'm in a happy, loyal relationship. I don't want to fuck it but at the same time, I would.

"Yeah," he looks at me weird and walks away towards the bathroom.

I go to the bar and order a extra dirty martini. I gulp it down and ask for another one. I gulp the second one, then the third. I take the fourth one with me to the VIP section. I'm stumbling a little bit. I'm a lightweight, I know this.

I hear someone call my name, but it's faint so I don't pay it any attention, I try to just focus on walking back to Maia. I hear my name again but still, I stare at my feet but somehow I still manage to trip. Before I hit the floor, I feel someone grab me.

"Deja," it's Ki, "you didn't hear me calling your name?"

"No," I lie.

When I find my balance, I look him in his eyes. I gulp my last drink before I say anything else. He grabs the glass before I can finish it.

"You know you're a lightweight, you've been drinking since you were thirteen, you can't even handle two shots," he states. I hate how well he knows me.

"Why are you here?" Is all that comes out my mouth.

"I live here, why are you here?" He questions me.

"I live here now," I say, "why are you even talking to me, huh? Why don't you act like I don't exists like you did at my graduation? Or better yet, my mom's funeral!"

His eyes widen.

"You didn't know that I knew that huh? Maia told me when she was helping me unpack my shit," I say, my eyes are starting to burn.

"I'm sor-"

"What happened to our promise? You had so many chances and yet, you walked away. You promised me you wouldn't leave me alone and yet you did. You've changed, I see the women you're with, I hear what you rap about in your songs, you can't tell me they aren't true," at this point I'm sobbing. The alcohol isn't causing this, This is raw emotions I didn't even know I had.

"Deja, I'm sorry. I didn't want to approach you at your mom's funeral, I thought I would just make it worse and I-,"

"I needed you, you were the only person I wanted to see or be with that day," I tell him.

He tries to give me hug but I back away.

"Don't do this Deja, please. I know I fucked up, but I can make it better. I was wrong, I should've reached out more, I should've been there for you. I know I've changed and I let the fame and money get to my head but when I heard you might have a boy-"

"You said it yourself, 'we were best friends before anything', that shouldn't have mattered," I interrupt.

"You're right, I didn't want to interrupt you with my chaos and you know with the stuff I got going on, I can't get you involved with it," he explains, "can I have a hug Deja?"

I hug and he holds me tight like always. It feels good, familiar.

We stand there for a few minutes, I finally pull away.

"I'm still hurt Ki, but we can fix this friendship."

---

I wake up with the sun rising. I give myself a moment to remember, then it hit me like a flood. I saw him yesterday. We were in the same room after 5 years of not being with each other.

I feel my head starting to hurt, I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. I look on my nightstand and see two tylenols and a glass of water.

"Kimetrius," I whisper.

"Yeah," I here. I scream a little bit, I didn't realise he was on the floor next to my bed.

"You slept on the floor? I'm hurt by you but I don't hate you, you could've slept on the bed," I tell him.

"I didn't wanna cross any boundaries, ya know because it's been a while," he explains. He climbs on the bed and get under the covers with me.

"I don't think boundaries count when you changed my clothes for me," I say noticing I'm in a huge tee and my sleeping shorts.

"Maia did that, I definitely didn't wanna cross that boundary," he chuckles. I laugh with him.

"Can we fix this?" He asks after a few minutes of silence.

"We'll be best friends forever, I don't know if we'll date again, you missed that chance, twice, I still love you though, forever," I know what I said hurt him but it's true.

"I love you Deja."

Ki never liked the idea saying too, I love you "too", I miss you "too." He says it makes him feel like he's just agreeing with me and not actually saying he loves me. I say it either way because it still gets out the message that I love him.

A few hours pass and I wake up with Ki's arms wrapped around me. I don't wanna move because I know he'll notice that I'm gone as soon as I do. I decide to just lay here and wake up on his own. I really miss him and this feeling.

I hear my phone go off and I see 20 missed calls from Bradley, I jump up and run to the bathroom.

"Yo, what the fuck Dey, what was that for?" Ki yells at me all confused and a little upset.

"Shh, shut up Ki!" I yell back.

"Oh my gosh baby, I thought something happened to you," Bradley says picking up the phone.

"Hey, no I'm okay. I went out with Maia last night, got drunk and I just woke up, I'm sorry babe," I answer.

Ki walks into the bathroom, I shush him before he says anything.

"I have to go to work, don't scare me like that again, okay? Love you."

"Love you too Bradley," I say while hanging up.

"I love you Bradley, mmch, mmch. Oh I was so worried, mmch, mmch," Ki taunts making kissy noises, "Bradley sounds like a lil white boy name."

"Fuck you Ki, he is," I saw slapping the back of his head.

"Ouch, fuck you too," he laughs, I laugh with him.

"I missed you Dey."

"I missed you more."
