MY TEACHER

'I love you baby...if it's quite alright I need you baby...trust me when I say it's okay' - Lauryn Hill.

"Can you turn down that music Hailey Mae Brown!" My grandmother's voice shouted sticking her head in my room.

"Oh my fault mek me turn it down" I proceeded to turn down the music down and she gave me a look before walking away. Too miserable man...of course I couldn't say that thought out loud.

I thought about how I couldn't wait to live on my own where I could play Lauryn Hill as loud as I wanted.

Unfortunately I live with a half miserable grandmother whose noise tolerance is very low.

It's been two week since that night and this was not how I imagined my summer to be. Brianna invited me to several parties and functions but I declined all. Natalia did the same and I did the same.

I was not even on my phone often. I've just been waiting on exam results and for uwi to accept me after applying months ago.

its 5:23pm in the evening on a Thursday and I'm busy cleaning my room that is not even dirty.

Brianna had told me she was going to magaritaville which was all the way in ochi Rios, about a 2 hour drive from Portland.

I might as well go, my hairstyle and nails were worning out.

I texted her asking who was going to drive.

Turns out it was her boyfriend and two other guys. Maybe if I met new people and interacted more I wouldn't feel this dead on the inside.

She said she would pick me up by six thirty.

It was 6:00pm when I rushed in the shower then brushed my teeth. I dried my body and lotioned my skin thoroughly. I wore a blue denim shorts with a white cropped top. I sprayed with Valentino's perfume then slipped on some white sandals.

6:30 came and she's not here. I quickly put in light makeup to brighten my face. I put on lipgloss to finish the natural look.

I looked good. Staring at myself I felt kind of confident. I took my phone and money in a brown side bag and walked to my grandmother's room.

I snap a picture then set it as my WhatsApp profile picture.

I told my grandmother a lie saying it was a friend's birthday party.

Brianna sent me a message saying she was outside so I made sure I had everything from my phone, purse and lipgloss before going through the gate.

I walked to a white BMW that was parked outside my house.

"Hey girl..it's been so long" I said greeting her when I got in the car.

"Yes hun, meet my boyfriend Lucas, and his friends, chad and Geo" the name rings a bell. I looked over at the boys and my eyes widened but not in an obvious way.

"Nice to meet you guys" I said and they acknowledged me with a nod. It was  him, Christian's cousin.

"Aren't you junior's girl" Geo spoke and I looked over at him at the other end of the backseat.

"No" I said briefly. He didn't responded. Only talking heard was from Brianna and Lucas. She seemed really happy. She tried putting me in the conversation from time to time which I appreciated.

We got into the event and it was after 9pm.
We found a spot and the boys went for drinks.

"Girl loosen up" Brianna said when I didn't take any of the liquor.

Why not. I took up one of the shot glass and down the clear liquid down my throat. The burning sensation that most people hated, I on the other hand loved It.

After about five more shots I was started feeling tipsy.

"Dont record me!" I put my hands up blocking the camera flash.
She has not stop recording, Why can't we just enjoy ourselves without being reminded of what we did the next morning. I'm most likely going to be so embarrassed.

Soca music was playing and I started to move my hips feeling the beat.

Lucy came on I lost it.
Countless margaritas and my head started spinning.

I started flinging my behind all around not caring anymore. Brianna and the guys cheered me on and I felt someone behind me. Not caring who it was, I grinded and wined my hips on them.

At last I felt free again. I felt happy

"Yow pussy! Let go off a har!" I soon heard and my movements slowed until I finally stopped.

"Aye pussy a bet seh me fuck yuh up!" I heard someone said and I realized the party was not booming like it was before.

I looked around for Brianna and I saw her standing behind her boyfriend with her hand covering her mouth and fear in her eyes.

I ran forward to them but I was hauled back by a body. The music stopped and people were screaming and running away.

"A yuh gyal dis...want e bet seh me cut har" the person had me in a headlock said.

What the fuck? What was going on.

I couldn't breathe.

I saw Geo and Chad holding up guns in my direction.

"The police's coming!" Someone yelled.

I started crying as the thought of dying right there finally hits me. How did this happened.

"If yuh know a fi who fah gyal dat it's best if yuh let har guh" I heard geo said still pointing the gun in our direction.

Who do I belong to again?.

I wanted to vomit.

I heard sirens and a shot immediately went off.

I thought I got it but I  felt no impact. My whole body was shaking. I was pulled away and it was soon before I noticed it was Geo.

We managed to get back to the car without the police seeing us.

I held my neck as Lucas drove out the parking lot.

"Go to my parents house" I heard Geo said directing him.

After mintues of fast driving we pulled up to a white house and we all got Inside.

"Yuh can stay In this room...,yuh good?" Geo asked and I nodded frantically because I was was still in shock.

the room is furnished and everything was in place.

I rushed into the bathroom and vomit was going everywhere before I could even find the toilet. I fell to the floor and it kept coming up and up nonstop.

I layed there in my mess not realizing I passed out right there.

.............

I woke up by a foul scent. My body is in pain from all angles.

My eyes opened slowly and there was somewhat dried up vomit all over the floor and on me.

I scrambled off the floor and I noticed I'm in a bathroom that's not mines. I don't have marble floors and black ceramic sinks.

A sudden headache came unto me. I tried to remember last night. I was at magaritaville, dancing, drinking...I couldn't seem to remember everything clearly. How did I even get here, was I dreaming?.

My freaking throat. I held it and hissed pulling my hands away.

I walked through the door and entered the bedroom but I needed to know whose house I was.

I walked the halls of the house not seeing anyone but I heard chattering. I followed the noise to downstairs where I saw Brianna, Lucas, Geo, Chad, Christian, and the scary looking guys.

All their eyes fell upon me.
