Act II
Its her older cousin. He hadn't seen her since the last family gathering which was two summers ago. They were raised like siblings. Hes moved out, got his own car, and plays for the Gators now giving him no time for the in between. Its safe to say, she wishes she would've listened to him in school. He warned her multiple times about him, calling him a bad influence trying to put her on one of his friends constantly back in high school. She declined only chasing red, they grew apart as they got older, but the blood bond never broke.
rocky: AYO! what is going on??? you gonna get sick
aris: like i care bra
rocky: get in, RIGHT NOW....but on the floor i just cleaned this
aris: na
*he pulls her arm forcefully as she tries to walk away*
rocky: IN
*he says in a serious insistent manner, she listens groaning, he pulls out plastic bags and puts them on the seat*
rocky: now whats going on witchu? you fucking crazy now?
*She starts wailing a loud cry, he pulls over the car immediately and comforts her. She couldn't stop crying*
aris: hes such a fucking pussy! you know he wouldn't even sell in other peoples spots cus he claims hes "respectful." FUCK NO. hes fucking scared, but would beg me to set those same niggas up!
rocky: ..and did you?
aris: ......uh..i mean...that doesn't matter,.. he spent everything we had to impress other bitches! all i wanted was a come up and we been running circles!
rocky: you fucked up...just admit it, i was right
*he smirks laughing and she swings to hit him and he grabs her hands, she cries audibly & he pulls her in hugging tightly*
aris: i hate that i was ever with him. HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME *she says muffled*
rocky: lets go over there,*shrugs* he wont know what hit him. lets go
*he reaches for the gear but she smacks his hand*
aris: you know he didn't even care when i left? he walked me out like im a fuckin dog!
*she punches the dash board and he grabs her*
rocky: ok ok ok...not my baby, come on now
aris: IM SORRY i dont wanna feel like this anymore, I DONT WANNA FEEL ANYTHING.
rocky: ... its ok lil sis... i got you. ill do him worse, he wont feel anything anymore.
*he pops open the glove department, she sees a gun and gasps then rationalizes.*
mia: OH *her eyes go wide* and what will that solve? .....i just want someone to listen to me......im sorry for yelling bra..i just feel so lonely... and empty inside
*more tears stream down her face and she takes a breath, breathing repeatedly to calm down*
aris: i dont wanna bring that out in someone, im better than that. WERE better than that.
rocky: you right, i got some better
*he pulls a bag of coke out his pocket*
aris: okay now this might cheer me up...a little, just a little 🤏🏽
*he laughs and she slightly laughs back as he pours it on the dash*She gets home faded that night avoiding speaking to her parents, keeping it to a hi and bye with her shades on. They still question her as she tries to walk by. her mom sends her shady looks while she word vomits why shes back home because they keep asking questions.
she goes to her room, having multiple flashbacks, hyperventilating, making her heart beat out her chest, she couldn't calm down, all she feels is rage. she envisions destroying her whole room turning it into her own rampage fest because nothing in it made her happy. it's all old and dated, everything was from the past, she left it behind. She calms the torturing thoughts by going on her phone and blocking him on all socials.
aris stares in the mirror looking into her eyes
aris: its only so many times someone can show you who they truly are before you believe them. he showed me SOO many times *a tear slips*.......but i looked the other way... i thought *laughs* ... i thought.... love was stronger than any flaw inside. He looks so good on the outside, but the inside is all messed up..... is it his fault? i think the same about myself..... *touches face* maybe we're more alike than i wanted to believe..
She stares identifying her skin, hating what she sees. She has a vision where she rips it all off wanting to see what's inside...but she immediately wanted to put it all back on as she screamed at her form without it, atleast under her skin she can hide behind the mask.
She gathers all of the things he gave her, she has of his and anything that reminded her of him. Taking it to a lake by her house, she sets it on fire, saying her last "fuck you" ramblings as she throws in multiple matches. She gets chills as she watches it burn.
She makes a tiktok about it and randomly gets 1.1millon views.
n0namearis: i wouldn't say relationships are pointless, but better end it sooner than later when there's a red flag 🚩, it'll hurt less.
after a night, her phones blowing up repeatedly. It makes her feel good so many can relate, but she still feels emptier than ever.
she closes her phone annoyed and she gets a DM. She checks it as her heart beats rapidly thinking it may be him from another account since they have a black profile and no name.
end act II
