Missed Calls

Chapter 41

ELI

I wake up from my peaceful nap on my couch and I look over to the craddle where I put Marcel and he is no where to be found. I frantically shoot up of the couch and as I start to head to his room, I hear the door open. Dallas came through the door with a smile.

"I cant find Marcel Dallas. I layed him right there and we both took a nap and now I cant find him. But I literally just layed him down right there." I ramble really fast.

"Baby hold on slow down. Dont worry I just took Marcel to Avery's mom. I just dropped him off for the night." Dallas said.

"Well why?" I asked.

"Because you need to get out. And I wanna take you out." Dallas responds.

"You mean like just me and you?" I question confused.

"I mean no, Drew and Jacob are gonna be there to." Dallas says.

"Oh Ight." I reply.

I sit back on the couch and I run my hands through my hair and I look at the time and its starting to get late in the afternoon. I see Dallas walk in front of me with ine cup of apple juice for me, and one cup for him.

"How you feeling?" He questioned.

"Im better. Just taking it one day at a time. It still hurts tho." I spoke.

"Well thats normal, is there anything you need me to do or anything." Dallas replied.

"No." I sigh.

"Okay but just know I'm always here." He said.

I just nodded my head. I couldn't get passed the fact that my life was starting to spiral out of control and I didn't know what to do.

"Dallas?" I call out to him.

"Yeah?" He spoke.

"Do you think I should give up on relationships?" I say as I look that the picture of me and Diggy on the coffee table.

"No, ofcourse not." He answered. "Eli listen, there is a lot of ups and downs in relationships. You're jumping to conclusions to fast. You think its one thing but it may not be that at all. Just give it time."

I just looked away and I soon felt Dallas fingers creep their way into my hand and he held my hand as he looked into my eyes. I gave him a smile and he hugged me with that brotherly love that I needed.

We sat and watched movies and played games for most of the day and then I heard Dallas let out a sigh and throw his UNO cards down.

"You ready to go?" He questioned.

"Yeah." I reply.

"Well then lets go get dressed." Dallas said.

We head up the stairs and we end up choosing each other's outfits. We styles some peices and took them on and off until we settled on a casual but street look.

I looked at my self in the mirror as I sprayed on my cologne. I took my wallet and my phone and I walked downstairs. I got in the car with Dallas and he called Drew, and Jacob telling them to meet us at this club.

After we arrived I saw Dallas pull out a bottle of Don Julio and he took it straight to the head. He then passed me the bottle and I sipped a bit taking a little shot.

We exited the car and when we walked in there was a crowd of people partying from the stage to the door. I told Dallas I just wanted a booth. We sat down and then not long after Drew and Jacob arrived.

"Wassup Niggas." Drew greeted.

"Yo Yo." Jacob said sitting down.

I just nodded my head not saying much. I saw Dallas give me a look telling me to loosen up a bit. I bought drinks for me and after while I felt my tipsy side starting to come out. Cause I was finding everything funny but then I was becoming more distant at the same time.
