*3 years later* Side Note: So it's been 3 since since the accident, and it has brought everyone closer together. So let me update you! I am dating someone else, and so is Dustin. They aren't liking it, but they don't know how to tell each other how they feel.*

I was in my closet finishing up my outfit for tonight, when I got a phone call from Dustin. I quickly pick up, because he's still on edge and will automatically think something is wrong. "Hey bestie what's up?" I ask. I. It is he's in his closet so he must need help choosing something to wear, but where the hell is he going. " Hey Shanell can you come to the house, I need help trying to figure out what to wear tonight ." I look at him and roll my eyes. "Ugh okay I'm on my way!" I say sarcastically and he gives me that look as if I'm in trouble. 20 minutes later I get to his house and there's clothes and shoes all over the place. What the hell has him frazzled like this. Yes I have a key to his house , and he has one to mine . "I'm in the back, hurry up." He yells down the hall. "Don't fucking rush me pretty boy." I yell back down the hall. For the next 2 hours we spend in his closet trying to put together an outfit for his date apparently.  All I could think was who is this bitch and what does she want from him. I huff and roll my eyes.

"Finally we're done." He says hugging me. "You are so light skin it's ridiculous." I say shaking my head. "You're so lucky I love you." I say pushing him and walking out. "Love you too best friend." He replies cheesing hard. I flick him off and leave the house.  After leaving Dustin's house from helping him get ready, I headed home to get ready for my date with Levi. I took a shower, did my hair and makeup, and put on a fitted teal colored dress with tan heels and gold jewelry. While I waited for Levi to come I FaceTimed Dustin, to show him the fit. "Okay how do I look?" I asked him spinning around. "You look good or whatever." He says rolling his eyes. What was that about? "Fuck you, but no really how do I look?" I asked again and he hesitated a little. "You look stunning as always. Where are you going anyway?" He asked a little frustrated. "If you must know I'm going on a spontaneous date tonight." I replied. He gave me that concerned look and I knew what he was thinking about. Ever since my incident 3 years ago he has been on guard. "Thanks for your help though bestie, I have to go he's at the door." "Okay have fun and be careful." "As I hung up the call Levi knocked on the door. He walked in the house and soon as he did he stared in awe. "Close your mouth and lets go before we're late." I said rolling my eyes. "I can't you're just too beautiful." he said grabbing my waist. I winched a little...gosh.

We get in his truck and head to the restaurant. As we sat down and waited for our drinks and food, the waitress brought us our stuff and started flirting with Levi. He looked at me then brushed her off at first and we ate food. As we ate I constantly felt someone staring at me, when I looked up I made eye contact with the waitress and she rolled her eyes. I rolled them back, and continued to eat my food. After spending 2 hours in the restaurant me and Levi prepared to leave. I looked down at the receipt, to find that the waitress left her number for him and I instantly got pissed. When we got to the car he put his hand on my thigh, and I pushed it off.

"What the hell is your problem?! he asked sternly. "You're my problem. The fuck you flirting with other females for while we're on a date?" I said angrily. "It's not that serious I was just being friendly, and all she wants is the dick, you got to help the needy." he said laughing. When he said that all I saw was red and next thing I know I punched him dead in his face.

"Fuck you and everything you stand for, I hope the bitch takes you for everything you got." I yelled as I got out the truck. He sped off and I started to call an Uber, when I thought about Dustin. I sent him a text: "This date was a bust and he's so aggressive!" I didn't get a response so either he's sleep or he's pissed off. He sent a text back asking what happened, and I told him. It took him a few minutes to reply, so I figured he was trying to calm down. "Do you need me to come get you?" He sent back. "No it's fine my Uber is almost here." I said. "I'm going to stay on the phone with you until you get home." he stated. "Thank you best friend." My Uber showed up 10 minutes later, and I headed home. FUCK DATING!!
