Rapid Reactions (A Mindless Behavior Story)

Little Did We Know (Part 3)

CONTINUED...

Even as I stood in line for a banana milkshake, when I finally arrived at McDonalds, I had this dark feeling inside of me - one that I had only just noticed, but it had slowly been developing inside of me - it was clearly an sign of negativity. That day, the feeling grew strong, it was as if something terrible was about to occur, something that would rip me apart; despite it being so obvious, I was completely blind to what this darkness meant. Dwelling on it would make my stomach turn, would make bring me to tears, imagine just this strong feeling was playing on my sanity. To this day it is indescribable, it made me feel dizzy -

??: excuse me! Are you going to order, people are waiting and ready?

me: oh... I'm sorry, I was in my own little world-

Waiter: obviously

me: I want a banana milkshake and a apple pie

I sat by myself, on a stool nearer to the window and drowned in my thoughts, trying to figure out what this strong negative instinct was all about. The humid weather was making me more uneasy, although the milkshake cooled me down, I felt uncomfortable. It wasn't long before Roger strolled in looking as though he had just been hit by a hurricane. His eyes were bloodshot, but not as though he was under the influence, as though he had been crying. His caramel skin tone had betrayed him, the pink puffy bags, that cursed his face, under his eyes will forever haunt me. My heart almost shattered at the sight of him, and not because he was a really good looking fellow he looking as though he had just had a fight outside a brothel, because only I knew of the guilt that had visited us hours earlier. Guilt was haunting us, making its mark for had given into the evil deeds.

me: hey

Roger: how the fuck did you get involved with this nigga

me: what do you -

roger: he isn't no nigga to be downplaying, a young beautiful girl like you... I know you ain't cold enough to actually be comfortable with the stuff he's doing to us... to me

Me: you're not the one who was drugged

Roger: no worse, I was the one who was threatened into turning against my family! Do you know what it is like to have the someone who, you don't even see as a friend, you see as family and then having to betray all you know and contribute in taking what is a part of you? Baby, I don't think you do... Diggy's just isn't some guy I work with, or just some friend who will stay in my life a couple of years then skate, he's my brother... my blood

That dark feeling came back again, it strangled me, listening to him was making me feel lightheaded. Little did he know... I was the stupid bitch that was going around trying to kill my own best friends because of jealousy... I took a big gulp of the milkshake and almost choked, I coughed and he blinked; he thought that I wasn't listening, that all he was saying was going through one ear and coming out the other - but little did he know, right?

me: I...

Roger: of course you wouldn't understand, bet you don't even have mor-

me: who is he...

Roger: Daniel..?

Me: no... Khalil, why is he so mad at the world at times, why he is so content on getting revenge on his ex

Roger: I don't know the full story myself, all I know is that Diggy saved her from a manic years ago, she moved in with him and they were in love... I never thought- when I met -

Me: he threatened you?

Roger: it started with Spin, they met at the courts not too far from where Diggy lives. He said they met there and got to the talking, then they saw each other again at a rave that Spin was Djing at. We all wanted to meet up but Diggy was busy on tour so we decided meet when he got back. There was even a time we all bumped into each other at another party we were hosting. He chilled with us at the booth... and that was the first time he met Eliza. I should of known there was something ludicrous in the way he was around her, dark and charming. I never imagined he would be scheming against us, he just seemed to be a good guy

Me: he is... he just cant get over his past

I whispered, even defending him was so wrong but I was blinded, I couldn't even process half of what he was saying to me. He looked up to me, his crazy eyes piercing through my soul... making me feel almost naked, I looked away and he proceeded.

Roger: Spin stopped being around us, he couldn't spend more than hour with us before switching and leaving us, he especially couldn't stand being with Treasure, it was too much for him... Little did I know

Me: Treasure?

Roger: yeah, that's what I call Lee, because she's Diggy's gold. Anyways, it was about 2 weeks before Digg was meant to come home that Eliza went AWOL, we all refused to believe Spin's story when he said she was seeking a new career and finding herself outside state. By then Spin was with this Khalil guy half the time and I was starting to think that it was me he had a problem with. He was absolutely fine with Treasure, if he wasn't with him he'd be with her! I didn't know, I should of known...

Me: You're mumbling, Roger, what do you mean?

Roger: Spin would kill for Eliza, they loved each other so much... but it was her life or Holy's and he picked Eliza, he didn't know! He was just protecting his girl, and now it's too late...

Tears fell from his eyes, he was really fucked up, I got up and sat beside him holding him. He sat there still staring into his hands and letting the tears slide down his face, we just sat there silently... we were both being eaten up by guilt, but the difference between the two of us was that at that time he had all the information he needed to feel it's full extents... I was still in limbo.

I looked up and saw Ray walking towards us, he looked sincere yet a little uneasy, his eyes connected with mine. I quickly managed to warn Roger so he could compose himself, he just about managed to wipe his tears away before Ray was in front of us.... and suddenly he didn't matter at all.

Me: hey Tyra, baby, I'm really sorry *hugging me*

Me: *waiting for him to release me* yeah whatever RayRay

He turned to Roger and he bucked him, he, bluntly, asked him how he was and asked why he was acting weird so but quickly changed the subject and asked him how he knew me. I Raised my eyebrow and smirked at how protective he sounded, it was no longer something that i yearned for, something that I seeked. It was funny how when I wanted he him the most he was giving the littlest of respect but all now when he was the last thing on my mind, he was willing to show some love and appreciation.

Me: I helped him take Diggy home; he was drunk... only a little bit. He was talking nonsense about Lee needing him

Ray: what do you know about Lee?

Me: only that she's Diggy's girlfriend...

Ray: oh well... the Taxi is outside waiting for us

Mw: ok

I got up and hugged Roger in a flirty way, then whispered " be safe" in his ear before he returned the favour. He thanked me for everything we walked to the Taxi; Ray opened the door for me then told me then abruptly said he needed to go "pee". I scoffed and sat back; he was such a pathetic liar, he gave me a weak smile and ran back inside - probably going to find out what was going on from Roger. But that was a goal of my own, I needed to find about this guy, Khalil, I had involved myself with, what kind of a history did he really have with these people... with Diggy's Treasure.💎
