Chapter 11: My Gemini 1/3

*Steve's POV*

*July 23rd 10:03 am*

*Coffee shop*

I sit nervously as I wait for Ashanti. What if she breaks up with me? What if she does way too much and cusses me out in front of all these people? I take deep breaths and stare at the table. After a while I finally look up and see her walk in. Shit! Just calm down Steve. She walks over and sits across from me.

"Hey Steve."

"Hi Ashanti."

I say without looking at her.

"Whatever you have to say please say it quickly."

"What me and her did that night should've never happened but it did anyways. I know your hurt and my intend was never to do that."

"I am hurt."

"I swear on my aunt pearl's life that shit will never happen again, not with her or anybody else."

"Look we all fuck up. Brittanny told you we broke up because it wasn't working and that was bullshit... I cheated on her and that's what went down."

"Oh."

"I'd never cheat on you and if you don't believe me I can have you check my phone all the time."

"Nah it's no need for that."

"Okay well I forgive you and we can move past this."

"Are you sure? If you want to tell me anything else say it now."

"Nah I'm good. We live and we learn right?'

"Yeah we do."

How is she so calm about this? Just the other night she was trying to break my chest cavity.

"Everything between us is cool we can just put this behind us."

She then kisses me. I love hearing what she's saying right now but this all seems suspicious.

"Well I got some news to tell you."

"Alright spill it."

"I'm going on this cruise with my family."

"Oh shit where?"

"The Bahamas."

"First time?"

"Yeah and I always wanted to go."

"When is it?"

"Tomorrow."

"You just telling me now?"

"I thought you wasn't in the mood, so I wanted to wait."

"I see where you're coming from it's cool."

"When I get back, I'll make it up to you I promise."

She grins and gives me another kiss before leaving. I shortly leave after her and make my way back home. I finish packing everything up and call Tyler and ask if he's ready for tomorrow. He tells me he's ready and that we need to be ready at eight in the morning because the drive is six hours. Why can't we fly?

*Ashanti's POV*

It's been days and Dj hasn't said shit. I get he has his own life, but I been calling and texting him asking how he was doing and it's dead silent. Fuck it I'm going to his house tomorrow morning if he doesn't text or call me tonight or if he doesn't respond to me tomorrow morning.

*July 24th 9:17 am*

Shit! I woke up too late. I wanted to wish Steve and his family a safe trip and see him one last time. I text him wishing him and his family a safe trip before again texting and calling Dj. As I promised myself, I brush my teeth and get dressed before making my way to his house. I get to his house and knock a few times... Then I bang on the door. I walk around the house looking for an open entrance and find nothing. His car is parked out front, so he has to be here. I bang on his door harder and decide to call the police while I knock. What the fuck is going on? I hope he's okay. I finally break the door down and walk in. What the fuck is that smell?! Holy shit! This can't be good. I take a deep breath before checking upstairs. Nobody? And the smell is coming from downstairs. I walk downstairs and make my way to the kitchen where I find a little bit of blood. I try the garage door and find it's locked. Wait... Why would he park out front if he has a garage? I quickly start pushing my body against the door with all my force and try to break it down. I hear the police pull up and I run out front and tell them what I seen so far. They tell me stay outside while they get the door open. I pretend to stay outside but quickly sneak my way back in the living room which they don't see me. They break down the door and the smell releases into the whole house. I hold my nose and quickly stand up and make my way over.

"Holy shit!"

"Ca-call backup!"

I look into the garage, and I become terrified and numb... Blood was everywhere, and chunks of skull and brain are almost everywhere. And Dj... He hung himself and his body was turning purple and green. His hair slowly falling out and his fingernails black made me break down. As I lay on the floor crying the police pick me up and sit me on the couch. Back up comes in and they start to investigate the crime scene, but it quickly comes to a close because it's obvious. Murder suicide.

*Steve's POV*

*11:24 pm Tyler's car*

As we sing songs we loved as kids Ashanti starts blowing up my phone. Spamming text and soon a singular call which I immediately pick up.

"Yo everything good?"

"What time are you coming back home?"

I could tell she was crying.

"I'm only staying for 7 days why? What's going on?"

"Well, when you come back there's going to be a funeral."

"What?! For whom?"

"Dj."

"Wha-what?"

"Dj! he's dead!"

She cries out. Dj is dead?! This is so fucking random.

"Are you okay? What happened."

"I'm fine and he fucking... He fucking killed himself."

"Do I need to come back?"

"No, no, no... We can talk about this when you get back just enjoy your vacation."

"Ashanti..."

She hangs up. What the fuck is this! Dj is dead when I leave, and I can't even comfort Ashanti. Dj was a cool ass guy despite the questionable things he did. We weren't close but we still knew each other, and I promised him I would take care of Ashanti and made sure she was doing good.

"Everything good?"

Tyler asks.

"Yeah Ty... I got it."

"Whatever you say."

He kisses my cheek and keeps driving.

*2:30 pm*

Since we got there two hours early Tyler decides to show me around New York a bit.

"Since when you been here?"

"My grandmother used to live here remember?"

"Oh yeah."

"Every other summer I was here, and she would always show me around this bitch."

"Did you like coming here?"

"Yeah, but only because it was cooler than California."

"Well, I heard pizza shops is crazy around here."

"Alright come on."

He takes me a few places around that him and his grandmother used to attend. I never wanted to live in New York, but I always wanted to see it firsthand. I mean I don't see any 5-foot rats, so I think everything is good. After a little while we drive down to the dock and go through the long ass process. Finally, we get on and before the boat takes off, we do a tour. As we tour Tyler holds my hand and tells me fun facts about the cruise ship. After the tour we drop our bags off and get something to eat before getting into the pool.
