New Orleans: City Raining

|Déjà vu|

Lyric Robinson

I changed into a pair of black yoga pants and a white tank top. Since I don't have work today I decided to go shopping with Anthony and our two friends from high school Randel & Danni.

"Ant hurry up Randel & Danni are on their way." I yelled from my bedroom

I pulled my blue hair into a high ponytail and grabbed my phone of the bed and made my way down the stairs.

"I'm coming now Lyr lemme just grab my phone." Ant yelled as I made my way inside the living room

I grabbed the keys to my car off the coffee table and tossed them at Anthony as soon as he stepped into the living room.

"Damn Lyric you tryna kill me with these damn keys?" Ant asked laughing

"No dummy now let's go cause Danni texted and said the just walked up." I said opening the front door

"Ew this Candle smells like Rotten Banana's." I said putting it back in the rack.

Ant and I are currently in Yankee which is a Candle shop in the mall. There candles are pricey but there worth the money.

"Ant get the one that smells like Warm Vanilla Sugar." I said paying for the clear springs water one

Once Anthony paid for the candle we left the mall and went to Walmart. I really love going food shopping at Walmart like everything is a reasonable price. Randel and Danni left when we went to the mall. I really didn't mind because I wanted to spend more time with my Best friend anyway.

"Ant I'm go get some sodas finish putting the food in the cart." I said walking off

"Anthony did you grab the Marshmallows and Graham
Crac-" I stopped mid sentence as I turned around and locked eyes with this guy that looked just like Roman

"Lyric what where you saying" Anthony asked

I couldn't take my eyes off the guy that stood in front of me he looks so much like Rome it's crazy. Neither me or the guy standing in front of me said a word we just looked at each other. I watched as the guy blinked rapidly before putting his things back on the rack and quickly walking off.

Lord this has to be so weird mumble jumbo shit.

I handed Anthony my debit card so he could pay for the food as I walked outta walmart. I need a drink and not my usual kind of drink. I'm talking something hard core so that I will not remember anything in the morining.

Anthony and I have been home for about an hour now and I still haven't said one word. It's like my mind is back a Walmart looking at the guy who looked just like my older brother. I stood up from the couch without saying a word and went into the kitchen. I grabbed a regular glass cup and half way filled it with Pepsi and grabbed both a bottle of Vodka and Henny. I mixed it together with the soda and took one big gulp. Letting the alcohol burn my throat as it went down.

No longer caring bout the burning sensation from the drink I continued to drink more until the glass was completely empty. I poured myself yet another drink as went up stairs to my bedroom. I turned the television on and began watching Half Baked. This is one of Roman and Anthony's favorite films to watch then their high.

Half way through the movie there was a knock on my bedroom door causing me to pause the movie and open the door. Anthony walked in and sat on the edge of my bed and looked at me.

"Lyric what's going on you haven't said one word since we where at Walmart."
Anthony said never takin his beautiful brown eyes off me

I played my finger as I avoided eye contact between Anthony & Myself.

"When we where inside Walmart I ran into this guy who looked just like Roman. I mean tattoos and everything. He didn't say anything to me we juts looked at each other. Anthony ...... I could fill it deep in my soul that when I looked into that guy eyes I was looking at Roman's." I said still playing with my fingers and not looking up

I feel like a fool to believe my older brother is still Out there alive somewhere after all these years. Would Roman really do something like that ?

"Lyric get some rest Baybeh we can talk bout this in the morning." Anthony said kissing my forehead

I nodded my head at him as I pulled the thin red covers closer to my chest.
