Issues/Hold On~ Teyana Taylor
"So hold on, hold on, don't let me go"
Billie POV
"Do you feel that you could..maybe, apologize for how badly you treated Von and Durk?" Victoria eased out.
I sat silently. Allowing the question to sink in.
When we got into that argument; I blamed them for L.A getting shot.
I also told them that they wouldn't succeed in life.. yeah I think I might have all of O'Block trying to murder my dumb ass.
Durk took my words the hardest, I actually heard him begin to cry; though he tried his best to hide it.
"I guess?" I replied.
"I think you should, Billie. You speak about them all of the time. We've had many sessions; and, if anyone's name became repetitive—it's theirs. Along with Lyriq.. did you finally patching things up with her?" Victoria's posture changed.
It felt like we were spilling secrets at a slumber party.
"I would like to say that," I replied.
"Elaborate."
"She apologized, and so did I. It felt sincere. It felt like weight being lifted off of my shoulders. I could finally breathe for once; ya know?" I replied.
"I see."
——
"Would you like to grab a quick bite later?" I asked Lyriq.
She look distressed, though. I hope everything is alright.
"I don't even have time." She told me coldly.
I sighed in defeat.
"How about we just talk—
"Billie, I actually have shit going on right now. Not fucking now. Goddamn," she snapped.
"I'm sorry." I replied, feelings hurt.
"I didn't mean to be rude, it's just... I'm not in the position to entertain you. Not like— in a bad way.. but, I got shit going on. Seriously. It's a lot of stress on me at the moment." She explained.
"I understand, Lyriq. No biggie." I replied.
"Thank you for understanding." She mumbled.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked.
"Actually, yes, you can.. how locked in are you with the manager here?"
"Pretty solid. Why?"
"I need a job. I ain't looking to be here long—but, I need something for right now. I need it fast." She told me.
"If you're falling on hard times I got you—
"Billie, it's not that. I swear. I actually just need to verify that I have income. I need to get my own place to. By the way, how much do they pay an hour?"
"$17.55 starting." I replied.
"Okay, cool. That's good." She nodded to herself.
