After a few more hours or so of partying after the bell dropped, people started to leave. I am currently sitting down cuddled up under Rick watching these people go. When the last set of people left, Rick got up.

"Where you going?"

"Babe, I gotta go home."

I stood up. "Do you have to?"

"Yea, but I'll see you at school in a couple days."

I sigh "okay, I guess."

"Don't be mad at me. I gotta work before we go back to school."

"Okay, I won't stop you from getting ya money. Let me walk you to your car."

"Cool." We walk hand in hand to his car until he had to let go of mine to enter the car. We then shared one more kiss until he drives off.

Looking around the house all I see are paper cups, plates and chips scattered across the floor. Amongst it, I see Travis and Camille with the guy they came in with.

"Hey, what are you guys still doing here?"

"We can't find Tre. Typical of him to just leave us here." The friend that I have yet to know said with irritation in his voice.

"Well the good news is that he's around here somewhere. I saw his car out there." I pointed to the back of me indicating outside. "You tried calling him?"

"Nah, I didn't even think of that." He pulled his phone out and dialed Tre's number.

I heard ringing upstairs. I follow it, with them trailing behind me. when I got to the room I turned back.

"Cut the phone off. Cut the phone off." I hurriedly yelled softly. He did. I peek into the room and see Tre stir but stay asleep. Good, he still sleeping. I turn back and put my index finger to my lip as if I were telling them not to say a word.

I go into the bathroom a couple doors down and get the cleaning bucket under the sink. I noticed it wouldn't fit under the sink so I put it in the tub and filled it with cold water. I test the water with a fingertip and instantly shivered. Perfect. I smirk. I lift up the bucket. Man, this is heavy. C'mon Monique, remember this is for a good cause. I get it out of the bathroom and into the room Tre was in. just as I was about to drench him in the cold water, Travis stopped me by saying.

"Hol' up let me get this on camera." He pulled out his phone as did his friend.

"Tell me when you're ready." They both nod their heads indicating they were ready.

I slowly pour the water into his mouth and when he woke up in shock, I poured the water faster basically drowning him when he went to take a breathe until the water ran out. He leaned over the bed coughing up a storm. I'd be surprised if he didn't cough up a lung. The girl next to him woke up to from the water splashing on her.

When he finally gained a sufficient amount of oxygen he yelled. "What the fuck you do that for?!"

"That's for disrespecting me. You threw shit in my face so I threw it back in yours."

"If you looking for a sorry, you goin' be waiting a long time."

"I don't need or want ya sorry. I just want you to get your stuff, your hoe and leave."

"Funny how you should call her that when you're a hoe yourself." He said putting on his pants.

"How many times am I gonna say it, it was a mistake? I'm sorry, alright, I am but you need to let that shit go. I mean what the hell you expect me to do?"
