The middle.

Ashae' in the MM 💘
~~~
I banged on the door as hard as I could and a woman around my mom's age came to the door. Her hair was all over her head, she had a baby on her hip, and a cigarette in the other hand. She smelled like straight alcohol. I cleared my throat but she spoke up before I did. "You that young boy my child been dancing with? She fucking you?"

This lady had some nerve. "No? I'm married. She's one of my backup dancers and I don't think this is a good environment for her to be in right now while we're practicing for the tour."

"Mhm I heard about your little tour. You one of them rich, famous people ain't you? Where your money at? We can take this outside or upstairs...ain't nobody gotta know. I'll make you feel good."

I rolled my eyes and took out my phone. "You know what? Don't even worry about it." I dialed Ashae's number. "Drunk ass..." I mumbled under my breath. I almost felt sorry for the girl.

"H-hello?" She sounded like she had been crying. I frowned. "Where are you? I'm outside with your mom who just volunteered to fuck me outside if I paid her..." Se let out a light chuckle. Wow, she has a sense of humor. Shocker. "I'm coming down now." We hung up and I stood there awkwardly while her mother watched me.

"Lil boy, why you care about my baby? She ain't shit. She won't ever shit and she won't ever be shit. Look at me. This how she gone end up. Pregnant and alone. Might be a crackhead too, shit."

Might be? Hell naw man she was already there.

"Your daughter has potential. She can dance and I promise you that she.." Ashae' walked out slowly with an overnight bag in her hand. "You ready?" She gave me and small nod and we walked to my car. I noticed that she was walking a little slower than usual. I opened the door for her and watched closely. "The fuck wrong with you?" She asked and slammed the door.

I knew it was too good to be true. I shook my head and got in on the other side. "How much do one of these cost?" She asked, looking around my Maybach. I shrugged. "It was a gift from scooter when I turned 18."

She crossed her legs tightly and looked out the window. "What's up with you? Why are you crossing your legs so tightly? I'm not gonna do anything..."

"I know, doofus. It just hurts down there, shit. Anything else you want to know?"

"You have a yeast infection? Some type of disease cause.." She slapped my arm. "No! Im not infected with anything."

"Oh, then you're sexually active. Am I correct? Who's the unlucky son of a bitch?"

She looked down at her hands and played with them before looking back at me with tears in her eyes. "Hey...I didn't mean it?" I frowned and scooted closer to her. "I know, it's just hard to talk about. That's all."

"Why? Who is it? Did he hurt you.." She sighed and nodded. My heart pained for her. I know she was hard to handle but she didn't deserve whatever she was going through. Who would dare hurt a woman?

"My mom's boyfriend. She gives me to him once every two weeks to make some cash to pay the bills. It started when I was 13 because I developed faster than all of my friends so my mom gave him a price and they agreed on it. I didn't know what they were talking about because I was in my room listening to music...listening to you. He stomped all the way up the steps to my bedroom and kicked the door in. He said that he wanted me to lay on the bed and not say a word. I didn't know why he wanted me to do this at first but when my mom came in and grabbed me, I knew what was up. I kicked and screamed but nothing worked...he was too strong. My mom left soon after he got me on the bed. I don't know where she went, all I know is that she wasn't there. He didn't even bother to turn off the music so your song still played on my MP3 player. The whole time I screamed and cried for somebody, anybody to help me. I even screamed for you but you never came. That's why I was a bitch to you all this time...because you didn't save me. Nobody saved me."

She broke down and cried. I pulled her to my chest. In a way, I felt like it was my fault that I couldn't have been there back then to save her like she said. She needed somebody to be there for her and believe it or not, I was going to do just that. "Hey, look at me." I said in a hushed tone. She looked up with tear stained eyes. "I'm going to take care of you, okay? Whatever you need. It doesn't matter what it is. You never have to go back there again. You're going to live in my condo, okay? I only go there to write but you can have it." She shook her head no and sat up.

"No, Justin. You don't get it."

"What don't I get? Huh?" I gritted my teeth. "I want to be treated like I'm somebody instead of just another piece of meat. Nobody has ever cared about my feelings before so why start now?" She frowned. "I'm not your responsibility."

"You are, Ashae'. I'll take care of you."

I woke up with an ache in my core and my head. I felt like pure shit. I looked around blankly and forgot where I was for a second but then I remembered. Justin's condo.

I yawned and turned over to face an occupied Justin on his phone. He was looking at some video and laughing like a child. It was a beautiful sight. "Hey.." I whispered and he turned to face me. "Hey. How'd you sleep, sleepyhead?"

"Good..great actually. The best sleep I've ever had." He nodded his head and got out of bed. It instantly felt empty without him on the other side but that was a fate that I would have to accept. He wasn't mine.

"Well, I have to go home as you know so..." I just nodded. "I stocked the kitchen while you were asleep so you should be good on food for awhile. If you want something else just let me know. Also..." He pulled out his wallet and counted out 4,000 in cash. "Go do girl stuff I guess. Hair and nails and shit." I smiled and took it. "Thank you...you've been too kind to me. I don't understand why."

"Because you deserve to be happy too. You remind me of myself. Always beating myself up, feeling like nobody was there for me when I needed them the most? Yeah that's you and that was me back then before somebody told me differently. It took one person to break me to realize that hey, I'm gonna be alright regardless." I smiled.

"Justin? Will you tell me who hurt you?

He just smiled and walked towards the bedroom door. "Maybe someday."
