The Trauma

Chap Chap 14- Do You Forgive??

Beach Party July 8th, 2025

Jan Pov

"Pop it the fuck off Dj." Some person in the back around yelled out towards the DJ while throwing some expensive champagne at some people but they didn't mind it since they were so drunk. I walked around the crowd looking for my baby before heading over to the bar to get some water for us since we both don't like to drink due to past reasons.

As I passed by some unfamiliar faces in the crowd, I ended up stumbling across Megan talking to some dude. He looks to be about 6'4, has dark skin with plenty of tattoos on him, braids in his head, and has muscled physic. I walked over to the two wanting to know what the fuck they were talking about since I'm unable to hear anything going on around me because I left my hearing aids back home.

"Hey baby, what are you two talking about?" I tapped Megan so she could see what I was signing to her.

"Oh, hey baby, this is our new co-worker in our department but in the tech area. His name is Pardison but he likes to be called Pardi instead.' She signed back.

"Mhm okay, well Diamond wanted to know if you would like to take some shots with us."

"Mhmmm sure, let me just wrap up this conversation then I will meet you by the bar baby."

I just nodded my head and walked over to the bar to meet Diamond and Jillian over there, as I was making my way through the crowd some random person took a step to the side so that they could block the path. I looked the person up and down and noticed that they had a smirk sitting right on their face thinking shit was sweet for them.

"....." I kept quiet not wanting to say anything to the nigga.

"I've been checking you out from across the room and thought now would have been the perfect time to introduce myself. My name is Tyrone Mackler, what's your name sweetie?" He spoke to me but the only thing I caught was his name.

"I'm Deaf," I screamed over the music.

"I'm sorry, did you say you're deaf?" They asked me.

".." I just nodded my head hoping that the nigga would take the hint.

"Well, nothing's wrong with that. I still didn't catch your name."

"I'm not into guys."

"Oooh well, did you even try being with a guy?" He asked me.

"I legit cannot hear you." I try once more to get this nigga off my back.

"But I would like-"

"Nigga, didn't they just say they are not into men. Now take your dick-slanging ass somewhere else." A voice spoke up.

I looked behind the dude to see Jillian standing there with her arms crossed and a frown on her face. The dude looked at Jillian with a surprised expression on his face for a second before heading over to a group of women who were talking amongst themselves in a corner. I walked over to Jillian and hugged her as a thank you for saving me from that awkward man.

"Hey Jan, how are you?" She tried to sign.

"How are you, I'm doing alright besides meeting a co-worker who has been eyeing my ass from the beginning." I corrected her sign while also speaking out loud.

"Where is Megan?" She asked.

I just shrugged my shoulders before continuing my walk towards the bar, to be honest, Megan can handle her own and she knows not to get herself involved with any suspicious people or cheat on any partners she has. I saw that Diamond was sitting alone at the bar drinking something dark but had a tint of red inside of it. I was very curious as to what she was drinking and thought maybe I could get what she was drinking but that shit was starting to look like it would fuck my life up if I were to drink a couple of shots of it. I sat my ass down next to Diamond and took the glass out of her hand before taking a sip of what she had.

"Ugh, this shit tastes like straight ass. How the fuck do you drink this shit." I signed.

"That's why you stay out of people's shit Jan." She signed back.

"But I wanted some," I whined.

"Your ass needs to get your own shit before I fuck your ass up for drinking mine."

"Damn," I mumbled to myself.

I just looked at her drink and then looked at the bartender for a second before trying to ask them about their popular drinks. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Megan standing behind me with a mug on her face looking like she just got into it with someone. I got up from my stool and gestured for her to sit down waiting for her to spill all the tea about her and Paddison's conversation.

"So, what happened?" I asked.

"We were having a good conversation about the job and how some of the workers complain about some shit that wasn't worth talking shit about. Then he asked if I was single, I told him I was engaged and showed him the ring that you bought. His fuck ass going to tell me that he has no problem with being the side dude in the relationship as long as the man doesn't know." She signed.

"I told his ass that I was not about to cheat on my partner with a bump ass nigga who is thirsty for some pussy before leaving mid-conversation." She finished.

Well damn, I thought something was shady with that nigga when I saw his ass eyeing the fuck out of Megan before I came into the conversation. I can see why these niggas want to hit on my girl cause why not, Megan is the type of girl to hold you down while picking your ass up at the same time. She will encourage you to go for your dreams and will fully support you at the same time.

"Well good, his ass can't have you any fucking way," I screamed over the music.

"Who are you talking about Megan?" Diamond turned her attention to her.

"His name is Pardison but goes by Pardi, I just found out that he just started working for your department two weeks ago." She responded.

"Pardison Pardison oh, I know who you are talking about. Pardison's pops own a couple of barbershops while his mother owns a couple of hair salons in a few states." Jillian spoke up.

Well, whoever this nigga is he needs to keep his dusty ass away from Megan and me before one of us beats his ass black and blue.
