"Why the fuck are you touching her like that", Destiny scoffs

"It wasn't-... I didn't-

"Her wrists are bleeding!"

He looks so surprised and regretful, "Amariah I'm sorry-

"Move before I pepper spray your ass", D says as she guides me away from him and back towards the building

"You ok?"

I swallow, "Yeah..."

"What was happening?"

My visions all blurry and there's this tight knot forming inside my stomach, no not again. Please not again, I was just getting better.

"Amariah"

I intake a breath once we're back inside, I can hear clapping coming from where all the guests are. Oh no, I missed mama's speech.... she's gonna be so upset.

"I'll be fine"

"You don't look ok, was he threatening you?" She asks softly

"Thank you. But can we talk about this later?"

Destiny sighs before following me back into the room, I literally drowned everything out as I was making my way back over to the table. I was receiving frowns from my sisters because of how I only came back just now.

Everything was sounding like an echo

I need my parents, I need someone. But I can't just ruin their day because of my little panic attacks, everyone's having a good time.

"What took so long?", Xavier asks

I look through my purse and he frowns, "Ree"

I blink, "Yes?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I just need the bathroom" I continue to rummage through my purse before finding what I'm looking for

Xavier isn't buying it

"Where've you been?"

"I'll explain when I'm back"

"Ok", He eventually replies

So he's the only one who knows I've left yet again, I didn't even bother bringing my phone with me.

I sniff as I look up to avoid crying, I'm really trying not ruin my makeup but it's quite hard. The more I tell myself not to cry, the more my eyes burn. Tears are forming in my eyes anyway so I just thought fuck it and continued with rolling my blunt.

I hear the sound of someone climbing up beside me momentarily, low and behold it's my dad.

"You really love sitting on high walls don't you"

"How did you find me"

"Well Xavier was looking for you, but I told him I'd come find you"

He then looks at the blunt, "Here let me. I'm quick at it"

I raise my brows a bit but give it to him anyway thinking be my guest.
