Chapter 6

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

I woke up the next morning to the pleasant smell of eggs , bacon and white runtz with promised land by barrington levy playing in the backround. I get up from the couch after noticing that Leon and Layla are not there. I walk into the kitchen looking like I have just risen from the dead. Im not rude, im just not a morning person.

"Good Morning Y/n!" Shawn said as he passed me the blunt and went back upstairs. "Good Morning yall" I say to everybody in the kitchen

"Morning babes! So what are we gonna do today?" Leon asks

"Well im glad that you asked actually, I talked to Mrs Van and they arrived late last night so at 12:30 we are going to see a play called 'The Cover of Life' at the Colliseum and we get to meet real directors and semi- famous actors!" I say excitedly. Leon jumps up "Ooh a play! What am I gonna wear? Shit I need to start brainstorming my outfit!" He hits the blunt one last time and rushes upstairs. I sit down at the dinner table and fix my plate. "Layla can u pass the orange juice?" she passes it to me as I pass her the blunt. We eat our breakfast and do our daily Instagram scroll.

"Ew that bitch wanna be you so bad Y/n se over here stealing captions and shit hehe" she says as she shows me a picture of Brittany's latest IG post

"Well well I guess I do have fans" I chuckle and flip my hair even though its in a bun. Its probably just her trying to troll me but I honestly dont care for the internet shit anyway.

She stands up from the table "Cmon we gotta get dressed! The colliseum is like an hour from here and Uncle Shawn is gonna let us use one of his cars" she says as if its nothing. "One of his cars? As in plural?" Am I the only one who feels like Cinderella? I mean I knew Layla and Leon's family wasnt broke but DAMN. As long as I have known them I would have never expected all.....this. "Y/n! Cmon we only have like an hour to get dressed and you know Leon takes like 30 Minute showers. "Ahh shit!" I say grabbing the last piece of toast and rushing upstairs

I quickly get dressed and do a light makeup look before meeting Layla and Leon back downstairs. I decided to wear a white graphic tee and black biker shorts



"Ok girl the fit is giving! I most definitely approve" Leon said "Boy stop gassing me I know im dressed casual as fuck" I say giggling. I always get nervous when people compliment me I cant help it.

"Yall ready?" I ask

"Yea lets go" Leon says

We walk to Shawn's garage and Layla chooses to drive his Jeep. We hop in the car and back out of the garage listening to Throw a lil mo by Erika Banks. We spend the rest of the car ride jamming as I take in the scenery of the place I can one day hopefully call home.

The three of us finally arrive at the colliseum and meet with Mrs. Van and the other students in the lobby. "Welcome guys! You made it just in time, I have great news! The ticketmaster said that an anonymous donor has paid for us all to be upgraded to box seats and a private dinner with the cast and crew!" my teacher said.

We made our way through the lobby and went up the staircase to the secluded box seats as the play began.

About an hour into the play one of the main characters named Wheetsie killed herself. She became depressed because she was barren and her husband was having an affair that led to the mistress being pregnant. I could relate to Wheetsie, she was always the outcast, a wilted flower in a bouquet of fresh roses, an inconvience. I always felt like a burden to others. Deep down I know there is a huge possibility of me failing in life and thats my biggest fear. Becoming everything my mother thinks I am and the fear of failure is crippling! It makes me just want to say 'Fuck it' and end it all......Shit I've tried.
