mindless stepbrother status?

31. shower curtain

the title has nothing to do with the story. it was just the first thing that popped into my head. ON WITH THE STORY!

NIKKI'S POV

Did he just say what I think he said? Princeton doesn't care about me? At all? What was I even thinking getting back together with him. Absolutely nothing. After Roc and I had our 'talk', I went back to the table and sat in silence. They kept trying to include me in the conversations, but I wasn't even paying attention.

"Babe," I shuddered at Princeton. "What did you and Roc talk about? You seem upset."

"Im fine." The bell rang and we went to class.

After school, YN and Ray had to go to the doctors office, so I rode home with Princeton.

"Princeton. I think taking you back was a mistake. I don't want to do this anymore." I finally got it off my chest.

"What?" He stopped the car in the middle of the road.

"Take me home." I said.

He hit the gas hard, making us jolt forward. I was scared for my life. I closed my eyes. When I opened them 2 minutes later, we were driving down the interstate. "Where are you taking us?" He wouldn't answer. "Princeton!"

"It's not okay to play with my feelings, Nikki."

"I want to go home!"

He pulled over. "Get out."

"On the interstate? Really?"

"Get out now!"

I got out grabbing my backpack. Princeton sped off leaving me in the dust.

I had no idea where I was. YN and Ray were at the hospital, Mom would have a heart attack if she found out, Marley was at work. Roc.

I called him. No answer. I called him again. "Come on! Come on!" No answer. I sat down and cried. I tried one last time. "Hello?" I heard him say. I could tell he had been sleeping before the phone rang.

"Hey." I sniffled. "It's Nikki."

"I know. I have caller id. What do you want?"

Why is he really treating me this way? "Im stuck. I broke up with Princeton and he got pissed and left me on the freeway." I started crying all over again.

"Shit. I'm coming."

"Really?"

"What do you see?"

"Nothing except a sign that says 'Krop Springs Ahead .5 miles'."

"I know where you are. I'll be there."

"Thanks." He hung up. If he comes, this will be the proof I need, to know that he loves me just like I love him. I sat down on top of my backpack. I was still crying. I kept on thinking: what did i do to deserve this? I've been through more hell in Milanzo, than I have in my whole life. I got to get from our here. 20 minutes passed. No Roc. The sun was starting to move, so I knew it would be a short time before it got darker. I prayed:

Dear Lord,

Thank-you for this day. Thank you for sending me here to be with my family. Thank you for the wonderful parents, and siblings I have. Thank you for my great friends. I would like to ask you go forgiveness. I know I have done something's that are not Godly. Please forgive me. It's getting really late, and I just need a miracle. I need to get home. So I can go back to my dad. Please, Lord. Please, get Roc here safely.

In Jesus's name,

Amen.

I sat with my eyes closed for a little while longer. I felt a car drive up. I opened my eyes and grabbed my bags. When the window rolled down, it wasnt Roc. It was a middle aged white man.

"Hey sweet thang. You got a special for me tonight?" He winked.

"What?" I said. What the heck is he talking about?

"A special? Whatcha gon do for me, for this green?" He smirked.

Oh!! "I ain't no prostitute!" I said stepping back further from the car.

"And I ain't no cop! It's okay! Just get in the car." He reached over and opened the passenger door.

I closed it. "Im not going anywhere with you!"

He was starting to look angry. He got out. Why weren't the other people driving by noticing this?! He grabbed me by my arms like Princeton did earlier. I winced. "You listen to me good. When I say get in the car, get in the fucking car!" He yelled in my face. I could smell the alcohol on his breath.

He started to yank me. "WHAT THE HELL, NIKKI?!" Roc! He.. He does love me! I cried tears of joy and pain.

"Who are you?" The strange man asked.

"It doesn't matter, but I'll fuck you up if you don't let her go." I saw a side of Roc i've never seen before. He started to ball up his fists, and a vein in the side of his neck started to bulge.

The man let my arm go quickly. "Im sorry, man. I didn't realize." I ran to Rocs car with my backpack on my back. I got in and started crying all over again.

In one day, I managed to get back together with my cheating ex, lose my closest friend, break up with my still cheating ex, get abandoned on the highway, get mistaken for a prostitute by a drunk man, and I still have to endure the most awkward ride home.
