Dre Day

The Past Trauma

Jade POV

I'm at the mall since my idiotic brother left me, to go back to the studio. Thanks to him I don't even have a ride. I sighed and sat down on the nearest bench I could find, until I saw the same black lowrider pulling up next to me.

"Well, well well we meet again." T.A said as I got in his car. I rolled my eyes and shoved him playfully before we set off to my house.

"Yeah, yeah you ain't no superhero nigga, where's Eric." I said smirking at him. T.A sighed and kept his eyes on the road.

"Is that all you say? No hello? Or how are you T.A? The studio must be real tough right now?" T.A said and I laughed shaking my head in the process.

"Your funny T. You should be a comedian." I said sarcastically and T.A chuckled before we stopped at an intersection.

"Eazy's at the studio handling some business for the album right now. They've just finished mixing it if you now what that means." he said and I rolled my eyes. Of course I know what mixing an album was, he thinks I'm stupid.

"I'm not dumb T, I know what mixing is. Damn ! Anyways what was Eric doing? Was Dre there?" I said bombarding him with questions. The intersection turned green and we were on our way to my house. T.A smiled to himself whilst I was asking him questions.

"What's so funny?" I said as T.A took a turning to the Compton swap meet. My house wasn't far from it.

"Nothing. The fact that you and Dre are like a high school couple." T.A said before busting out laughing. I couldn't help but blush madly because I knew he was right. I was so infatuated with Dre. Hold up! Did I say infatuated? Damn! I really do love him.

"I'm just playing with you Jade. Yes Dre was there. Then Eazy told him to talk with him in private." T.A said as we got to my street and pulled up outside my house.

"Word? What did he say?" I said curious to know what Eric said to Dre.

"No idea. But I know it was something about you're relationship with Dre." He said as I got out the car. I hope that Eric approved of me and Dre being together. If Eric laid a finger on Dre. Boy I would cut his balls off and hand them to him. Even if he was my brother, I don't need him protecting me all my life. I'm fucking 22 and I don't need anyone to look out for me. I may have had some run ins with my ex, but that was the past.

I was cut off by T.A speaking. "I don't know what he said to Dre, but I can tell you this. Eric's just looking out for you.." I rolled my eyes at that part. "..he really is Jade. Especially after what happened with..."

"Don't bring up his name!" I said on the verge of crying. After I broke up with him. I thought it was over. But day after day he kept bothering me asking me to take him back. I just couldn't deal with it no more."

"I know Jade, Dwayne's been doing that terrible shit to you." T.A said and I flinched when he said Dwayne's name. "But I know for a fact that Dre's not like that at all." he finished and stepped out of the car, helping me carry the bags to my house. "How would you know T! How would you know that shit! You and Eric are treating me like I'm a kid! When I ain't!" I said angrily as I set the bags down and went to the couch where I just sat down.

"Jade. You gotta know that me, Eric and the guys are just wanting you to be safe. That's all. If you're refusing to open up to anyone and remain locked up in that shell of yours. You ain't never recovering. Because all of that past trauma and darkness of your past will haunt you for the rest of your life. Remember those words." T.A said darkly and I gulped. I've never seen my best friend say that shit before and I've never seem him talk so darkly either. But he said it with a cool mellow voice and got up.

"I'm outta here. If you need anything page me, or the guys." T.A said with an angry look on his face before going out and closing the door. I watched from the window as he got in his car and drove off.

I sat down on the couch and sighed to myself. Dwayne still haunts me to this day. Maybe T.A is right? I felt really bad for going angry on him like that. I felt a little scared when he told me what he just said and that look he gave me before going. Maybe it was time to finally let someone know about my past. I just need to make sure that Dre is the guy that I can trust.

I went up to my room and just dropped on my bed. I needed to sleep this shit off.

Dre POV

10pm

I rubbed my eyes as we looked at the new album cover for our debut album Straight Outta Compton. It looked so dope, I couldn't believe it. It was finally a dream come true.

"Dope huh?" Eazy said as he sat down next to me. I couldn't believe it. This was our chance to make this shit work. I hope that this shit works too cause everyone has put in the hard work.

"Yeah! Nigga we made it!" I said jokingly and we both laughed. I yawned slightly and got up rubbing my eyes.

"Nigga you need to sleep." Ren said as we all got our jackets on. I nodded and headed out from the studio to my car and saw plenty of police cars around the block from us.

"Damn!" Cube said. "Another police arrest. This shit gotta stop." he said and I nodded.

"Alright niggas I see y'all later." I said and waved them off. I got into my car and headed off home. What was on my mind was Jade and the police brutality that just happened. That police brutality shit went after a while but Jade was still on my mind for some reason. I just need to get to open her up cause something tells me that she just feels bothered about something and I need to know what it was for the sake of her happiness.

I reached home and opened the door. No one was downstairs apart from my little brother Tyree.

"Hey little man what are you doing up so late?" I said to him.

"I was waiting for you big bro. When are you gonna take me to the studio?" he said and I just smiled. My brother is my world to me man. Honestly protecting him is the best thing I ever did.

"Soon little man. Come on go to bed." I said and he rushed to his room. I went to my room and just dropped on my bed exhausted from being in the studio. I closed my eyes and sleep took over.
