The White Patted Walls Of My Room Were Comfy To Me , They Were Perfect For When I'd Want To Bang My Head Against Them. I Smiled At All The Losers Outside Looking In At Me Through The Window Of My Room ; They Would Stare At Me Everyday , So I Always Gave Them A Show. They Thought I'd Be Fine After Treatment , But Really I Was No Longer &&* Would NEVER EVER Be The Person They Once Knew.
The Living Room Was My Only Spot In The House ; Everything Happened There , Sex , Parties , Movie Night , Games .... EVERYTHING . May 19th , 2012 , He Was Finally Turning 17 , I Was 15 Of Course , But Age Was Nothing But A Number And We Weren't Going To Let It Stop The Relationship We'd Had ; Besides , It was Only A 2 Year Differece Anyway . I Was Aleady Home With My Girls , Naya , Kai , Fatima. We Had To Get The Party Started. We Had Everything Except Our Guests . "Where The Hell Them Niggas At?!" Fatima Was Getting Impatient &&* So Was I. It Was Already A Bad Idea To Have A Party At My House, Which My Parents Did Not Approve And Now Our Guests Are As Slow On Arrival As Can Be ! "What The Hell Is Up ?" I Wondered .
Luckily , About 30 Mins Passed &&* Things Were Getting Crazy , People Were Showing Up One After The Next . The Constant Buzz Of My Door Bell Haunted Me. "Party Tun Up ! " Repeated Kai &&* Naya. "Ding Dong , Ding Dong." More Guest? I Thought , But It Wasnt. It Was Ms.George , Our Annoying Next Door Neighbor, Who Threatened Us About Calling The Cops Because Our Music Was "Too Loud." I Couldnt Even Understand Every Word She Said , All I Saw Were Her Lips Moving &&* Her Fat Neck Moving To The Same Beat Of Her Lips . I Couldn't Care Less About Her Complaint &&* So , I Shut The Door Right In Her Face. I Was Weak Of Laughter &&* So Were My Girls. Fatima Had Already Had So Many Cups , She Was Out On My Moms Favorite Couch . Across The Room , I Spotted Malik But Who Was He Speaking Too ? "That Ugly , Black, Dirty Bitch!" I Yelled . Everybody Stopped &&* Stared At Me As If I Were Something They've Never Seen Before . It Was Ashy , Or As We ALL Call Her, "BLACK!" I Rushed Upstairs Because I Needed My Meds . I Faced The Worst Panic Attack That Night. I Had Never Taken So Many Xanax In My Entire Life , I Needed It ; I Needed To Forget About Him , To Forget About How Much I Hated Ashy . I Could Hear Her Laughter From All the Way Inside The Bathroom , I Was Trembling , I Felt Alone &&* Utterly Besides Myself . I Knew What I Was Capable Of , But I Couldn't Let Things Get Out Of Hand . "Boom , Boom , Boom." The Husk Ass Knock I Heard At The Door , I Knew It'd Have To Be Naya. "Drea , Open Up.. I Know Whats Wrong &&* I Want To Help." "You Cant Help , You Cant Help Me ." I Repeated. I Began To Rock Back &&* Forth , Attempting To Calm Myself Down , But I Knew What I Had To Do . "Drea , He Isnt Even Your Boyfriend , What Are You So Angry About?" I Froze &&* Looked Up At The Door. Little Did Naya Know , Those Words Were The Worst Mistakes She'd Ever Made.
I Opened The Door To Let Her In &&* Before I Knew It , There Was No Time To Speak. I Grabbed The Scissors &&* Began Stabbing Her Uncontrollably! "He Is My Boyfriend , He Is , He Is , He Is ! He Loves Me &&* No One Else!" After 28 Wounds To The Neck &&* Chest , I Stopped. I Couldnt Believe What I'd Done. I Cried &&* Cried &&* Cried. "Naya , Look What You've Made Me Do! I'm So Sorry ." Emotions Were Running Through My Head Like A 4 Year Old Running Through The Aisles Of Toys R Us . Another Knock Approached The Door . "Who Is It?" I Asked. "Its Me , Malik ... I'd Heard That You Seemed Upset Because I Was With Ashy. Open Up , I Want To Talk." I Needed To Get Rid Of The Scissors , I Needed To Get Rid Of The Body , I Needed The Blood Stained Carpet Out Of Sight , Quickly ! Within Those Couple Of Minutes , I Thought , "The Tub , The Tub !" Immediately , I Grabbed Everything &&* Threw It In The Tub , I Took My Time With Naya Though , That Was Hard Work. I Examined The Area To Make Sure I Was Good , Then I Opened The Door , But He Was Gone! "Where The Hell Did He Go!" I Screamed. I Was Even More Pissed Off , It Was As If I Was Being Taken For A Joke By Everyone &&* I Needed To Put An End To It , An End To Even Ashy .
I Was Tired , I Was Angry &&* Even A Little Afraid Of What I Would Do Next . It Was 1:15 A.M &&* By That Time , I Had Already Taken 12 Doses Of Xanax. My Adrenaline Was On The High &&* I Didn't Have A Care In The World! I Was Floating On Air As I Rushed Down The Stairs To The LivingRoom. "Everbody Out ! Now , Get The Hell Out!" I Yelled . "Everybody You Dont Have To Go Home , But You've Got To Get The Hell Out Of Here, Now !" Kai Was The Last Of The Party Animals Out The Door. She Was Toasted &&* From the Looks Of Her Eyes , She'd Been Smoking . But, That Was The Least Of My Troubles . "Finally , Peace &&* Quiet!" I Thought &&* Slammed The Door. I Began To Clean Up Starting From The Mess I'd Made In The Upstairs Bathroom . As I Began My Quest, Laughter Came From Downstairs . I Thought Everyone Was Out The House , But As I Went Down Each Stair , It Was Clear That Ashy &&* Malik Were Making Out On My Couch. He Was Rubbing Her Back &&* She Was Moaning His Name. As I Watched , My Blood Began To Boil &&* I Felt Disgusted . I Grabbed One Of My Dad's Golf Clubs &&* Approached The Two On The Couch .
"Some Apology You Cave To Me Upstairs , Huh Malik?" Ashy Was Scared. I Had Frightened Her Due To My Unannounced Appearance In My Own Home. "Drea, Look , Its Not What It Looks Like , I-I-I Was ..." "You Were What , Huh Malik?!" I Yelled . "You're Both , So Stupid &&* I Hate Both Of You!" "Drea , This Isnt What It Seems ..." A Frightened Ashy Revealed . "Shut Up !" I Yelled To Ashy While I Reached To Hit Her In The Head With The Golf Club. "I Couldnt Care Less Of What You Both Have To Say For Yourselves." She Was Out Cold &&* Malik Couldnt Believe What I Had Just Done. "Scared Malik?" I Asked Sarcstically. Of Course He Was Scared , His Eyes Were Widely Opened , His Skin Was As White As A Sheet Of Paper . He Was Beyond Scared Straight. "I'm Tired Of Not Being Taken Seriously , &&* It Stops Right Here , Right Now !" My Hands Were Raised &&* Ready To Take Action Against Malik's Face &&* Head . Before I Could Hit Him With My Best Shot , Ashy Jumped Onto Me ! I Hit Her Agianst The LivingRoom Walls &&* She Fell To the Ground . I Had No Mercy &&* Began To Hit Her Repeatedly With the Golf Club. Her Blood Splattered Everywhere ; On My Face , The Couches , The Walls , But I Didnt Care , I Needed To Make Sure She Was Dead &&* Finally, She Was.
I Was Done With Ashy , But Where Was Malik? It Was His Turn &&* I Knew That He Knew Just That . "I Know Every Inch Of This House Malik , I Will Find You." I Laughed Because It Felt As Though We Were Having A Game Of Hide &&* Go Seek , Too Bad I Wasn't Up For The Games . "I Love Your House , Its So Big. But My Favorite Part Would Have To Be The LivingRoom." I Remembered Malik Saying It &&* It Continuously Echoed In My Head. I Knew That The LivingRoom Was The Only Place He Could Have Been . I Could Hear Him Breathing , I Knew I Was Close By. Out Of No Where , Malik Jumped Up From Behind The Kitchen Bar . He Had A Knife In His Hand , But What The Hell Did He Think Was Going To Happen ? I Was Not Going To Die , But He Was. The Golf Club Was Of Good Use, But I Remembered The Gun That I'd Forgotten Under Mom's Favorite Couch. I Ran &&* Grabbed It . Before I Knew It, Malik Was Rushing Towards Me With The Knife . "Pow , Pow , Pow , Pow !" Four Loud Gun Shot Wounds To The Chest . It Was Over , His Life , The Struggle , The Disappointment &&* Dissatisfaction I felt. It Was ALL Over . There Was Nothing Else Left , But Me , My Anger , &&* An Almost Empty Home . I Sat &&* Stared At What I Had Just Done , I Couldnt Believe It. Police Syrons Were Loud Outside My Door . I Knew Exactly What It Meant . My Life Was Over ! Three Murders In One Night ; The Party was Over Alright &&* I Was Now The Only Guest ...
