"No dd we can't just not go!!" I exclaimed to the boy. "Man whatchu mean ion gotta go nowhere"he sighed. "It's my besties birthday i have to go"I said. "Whatever mama"he said going back to his game. I just signed and continued getting ready.
I only have 45mins before I need to be out of the house and dd isn't making it any better. Im already tired and stressed. I haven't had any sleep, food, or water so I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
"U straight?" I heard causing me to snap out of my thoughts.
"Yea"I lied. "No you're not,when was the last time you ate?"dd questioned. "I ate earlier,I'm fine" I lied again,even though dd didn't believe me. "Jaylani....stop lying" dd said. " I'm not"I said while tears threatened to spill out of my eyes. "Come here"he said causing me to immediately walk towards him. "Why you lying?"he asked. I just looked down shaking my head. He pulled me into a hug and let me lay on his chest. "When was the last time you ate something?"he asked again. "I don't know..."I said truthfully. "We're getting something to eat before we go so just finish getting ready so we can go"he said before kissing me and letting me get off of him.
We were on now otw from getting food, going to the party. I was eating nuggets from McDonald's while dd drove, rapping to the music like he made it. I just shook my head and continued to eat my food and scroll on my phone. After I finished I put it back in my bag and sitting back clutching my seatbelt.
I side eyed dd while he sped over speed bumps. "SHE SAID IM A NIGGA FROM THE TRENCHES WITH A ACCENT WHY YOU ASKIN ME WHO SHOT YO HOMIE WHY YOU ASKING?"he yelled in my face making me push his head. He mugged me before making a sharp turn and swerving into the driveway of my bestfriend, Imani's home.
I quickly got out grabbing the gift I got her and ran in the house. I did not wanna be in the car with dd's crazy ass any longer. I walked into her room not forgetting to set the the gift on the table and say hi to the people in the living room.
"BESTFRIENDDDDD" she yelled. "Hey mani" I said tiredly. "What's wrong Stinkabutt?" she asked. "Nothing Ive just been really tired, it's nothing though I'm ok." I reassured her, well atleast tried. "Come on, you need some shots!!"she exclaimed.
She led me downstairs and into the kitchen. She poured a shot of Hennessy, and then another of pink Whitney. I grabbed a twisted tea as my chaser and grabbed the Hennessy first. I downed that before drinking the pink Whitney and then the twisted tea.
"Nah dd that's yo twin fasho"I heard someone say before hearing dd laugh. I laughed a little still drinking the twisted tea. I seen dd walking towards me while I just pulled out my phone. I fear him wrap his arms around me making me melt into his arm still in my phone.
I'm about 10 shots in, 2 blinkers, and blunt in and I'm burnt out. I feel even more drained and can barely stand. We sung happy birthday, opened gifts and the house is full of people. Im leaning on dd while he's conversing with his friends. He's just as messed up as me but he's also the opposite.
Im tired and he's full of energy. All I know is that I'm ready to go home, even though I know we're gonna spend the night and not leave until 1pm tomorrow. Imani's drunk talking to me even though I'm listening but not listening.
My head is spinning and my vision is blurry. I can feel my eyes getting heavy like I'm falling asleep and everything is going in fast motion. It feels like when I was od'ing kinda.
"LANI!!"
"LANI!!"
"JAYLANI!!"
I heard my name being yelled making me come back to realization. "Wassup?" I asked confused. "Are u ok"mani asked. I nodded before saying "I think I'm gonna go upstairs I'm getting kinda tired".
I tapped dd causing him to look at me. He furrowed his eyebrows while looking down at me. "I'm going upstairs"I told him. "Ok ima walk you"he replied before grabbing my arm letting me lead him upstairs. He was like my support system and balance.
We walked into Imani's guest room before I laid in the bed getting comfortable. "Ima be up here in a lil while with you ok?" dd said to me making me nod my head and close my eyes. He's kissed me before telling me he loves me, I said it back before hearing the door close.
I could feel myself dosing off, but it was like I wasn't gonna wake up.....
