Chris's POV
Oh no, I have to go, where's Trey?? I asked, looking around in wild confusion. I was nervous, my parents are not by any means strict, they encourage me to socialize, but a call like that is not normal. There's something very wrong.
I opened the door to see Trey standing there, wide-eyed. Was he listening in on our conversation??? He could've stepped in at any moment if something really bad had gone down I suppose, but it's still weird he'd stage an interaction like that. I didn't have time to consider what he'd been doing behind the door, however, as I received another text message.
"Why aren't you answering us?! Come home now."
Oh no.
"Trey, I need you to take me home now!!" I told him while trying to keep myself from panicking.
"Uh for sure bro, you okay lil bro? You guys make up? Your eyes look a little red and puffy-" I didn't have time to answer his questions.
"Yeah whatever sure, c'mon, I think I'm in big trouble with my parents!!" I said, rushing downstairs.
"Damn, bro slow down!! Lemme unlock the doors first" He said running after me. I think I almost broke the car door trying to open it. Once Trey and I were both in the car, he turned on the ignition but didn't reverse.
"WHAT ARE DOING?! GO!!" I practically yelled at the top of my lungs.
"Hey take a chill pill buddy." He said, sarcastically.
"We're waiting on CJ's slow ass." He huffed.
"Where the fuck is he??" I was getting impatient.
"Hold on, I'll call him." The phone rang.
"Nigga let's go, we're leaving...." *talking from the other side*.
"Motherfucker get the fuck off my games!! You can look at them later!!" I heard what sounded like CJ sucking his teeth before hanging up.
5 minutes later, he came shuffling out of the house and got into the car.
"Always rushing me." He muttered.
"It's like you're allergic to being on time nigga." Trey shook his head. Let's dip!! He pulled out and practically sped to my house. I'm pretty sure he broke several laws getting us there, but I can't complain, because we were at my driveway in under 30 minutes.
"Nice ass house...." I heard CJ whisper. I entered near light speed running up my driveway and through the front door.
"MOM?? DAD?? HELLO?! I yelled.
"In here!" I heard my mom say from the living room. I reluctantly walked in.
"Uhhh hiiii parents...." I tried to mask my nervousness.
"Where have you been? And what the hell happened to your nose?!" Dad asked, suddenly standing up with concern.
"Oh, this? I um just had a little accident, I just bumped into someone at school, no big deal." I chuckled in an attempt to play it off. They just stared at me.
"You're not still getting bullied at school, are you?" Mom asked. "What? No!! No..." I said.
"It's okay if you need to tell us, you don't have to be embarrassed-"
"Mom, Dad, I'm fine. I promise." I said, with a serious expression across my face.
"....Okay hun, we're always here for you, you know that." Mom said.
"I know..." I replied. "We love you dear." Mom responded, smiling warmly.
"I love you guys too" I said.
"So what was so urgent? Am I in trouble? Did something bad happen? I asked nervously.
"Oh no, your mother and I noticed you didn't have all the doors locked and the alarms set while we were gone. Next time, just remember to do that so when know you're safe." I breathed a sigh of relief. I'm very lucky to have the parents that I do.

I flopped on my bed. Today was exhausting. I didn't care about having my clothes on, I just wanted to sleep. As I was slowly drifting off, I felt my phone go off in my pocket.
*ding*
"Must be Trey." I thought as I pulled out my phone to see what he wanted. To my utter shock, it was a message from CJ.
Unsaved Number: state fair saturday, i'll pick you up
Me: Who is this? And how did you get my number???
Unsaved Number: it's CJ T gave it to me
Me: Oh... okay, I'll see you Saturday I guess?
Unsaved Number: aight
In about 12 hours, I went from nearly having a hate crime committed on me by this man, to planning a date with him. A very surreal set of events. Despite the stuff he put me through today, I think behind that hard exterior he puts up, there's a soft, mushy center at his core.
"Plus, he's kinda cute." I thought to myself as I was drifting off. Maybe this date won't be so bad.
