"Good afternoon Normani" my aunt was sitting drinking some tea. " you're home early" I stated "well I had to handle some work but I'll be out tomorrow" she explained "what's new "I mumbled getting water from the fridge. "Excuse me" she looked me in my eyes "nothing" I held my book bag tighter. "If you have something to say, you should say it Normani" she said in a serious tone. "I don't feel like having this argument" I began to get angry "exactly ..no words"she chuckled "YOUR NEVER HERE DO YOU REALIZE THAT. AND WHEN YOU ARE YOU START FIGHTS . FOR WHAT? JUST TO BUG ME.." I felt my heart get heavy " who are you rasing your voice at , I try to make ends meet . You shouldn't be complaining. " she said back "Make what ends meet , everything here is fine you make a lot already do you even go to work anymore".I felt a tear run down my cheek "you know Normani I know your upset right now . And I'm tired of constantly asking why. I think I really have to send you to therapy. "She looked down at her phone "I told you I'm not going to go ." I wiped my tears "If you die ..it isn't going to be on me so you need to go get help" she looked at me "but then again everything Will be fine when I'm gone right " I was now crying harder "don't say that"she got up "no leave me alone" I ran up to my room slamming the door . Sitting in the corner of my room. Crying . I feel alone ..no one understands me .. people don't get better over night. ...As soon as things are going great for me I always end up going 1000 steps backwards.
The house was quiet.. I assumed my aunt already left . I went downstairs into the kitchen seeing the note on the table. It isn't the first time . I read it
Dear Normani,
I left for New York by time you read this. I'm sorry if I got you
More upset. But you have to understand I'm here to take care of you. I want what is best for you.I'll be back before Saturday. My assistant will be there to check up on you..You remember her right...? Anyways here is your allowance. Invite your friends have a good time.I'll probably call you.Stay safe love.The door bell rang. I went to the door to see Dinah. She looked concerned and worried.
" Hey...Normani.." I smiled " Hey. Dinah come in" we sat on the couch and I turned on the television. I caught her look at my wrist so I quickly pulled the blanket over it. "Normani" I didn't answer I just kept my eyes on the tv "..Princess.."she said softly. I felt my eyes getting watery "she moved closer to me. "Hey... It's okay" she wrapped her Arm around me pulling me closer "Mani..look at me " I slowly looked up at her " what's wrong with my princess"Dinah began to speak" my face was in her hands I felt tears running Down my face. Dinah hugged my resume waist and I laid my head on her shoulder. I started to cry. I don't know how long it's bin but I can tell it was a long time. "Speak Princess" she whispered "I..I'm tired"I mumbled "of what .."she spoke "of everything Dinah..I can't do this anymore" I started crying again. "Ally told me what happened.." she played with my hair "you probably think I'm crazy" I slowly spoke "no..I think you've bin through a lot... You're going through some things that some one your age should not be going thought..your hurt..and your fragile.."her words were soft. "I need you here ... Camila,ally and Lauren need you...even your mom needs you...."she softly patted my head. "You don't know my family.."I mumbled "I don't need to ..as long as I got you that's all I care about " she kissed my forehead .
"I want you to be safe and happy,I'll do everything to make that happen I -" I cut her off "don't say promise..Because it's not true" I added . " I promise Princess , I keep my promises ...only for you " she laid Down on the couch . I went on top of her pulling the blanket over us. She moved her hands on my waist securing our cuddle. When I was in the hazel -eyed girls arms every thing went away .. all my tears every thing. I felt loved and maybe that's all I ever neededThe Next Day
Dinah's Pov
I felt my fists balling up. I couldn't stand seeing him put his arm around my princess...yeah I said that. "Calm down Hansen" Lauren slapped my shoulder. "Honestly why is he even putting his arm around her she clearly doesn't want him" I waited for Normani to come to me "She is probably explaining things to him." She suggested . "I don't care" I calmed down "lets go.. she will meet us at the table"Lauren grabbed my hand . At the table Ally and Camila were already sitting . Ally was eating pasta and Camila had a Banana and a croissant. I left a seat for Normani , I was starting to get worried. I lost her and she still hasn't come to the table . I looked down at my phone "come on Normani reply" I mumbled to my self "what's wrong " Lauren asked popping a grape in her mouth . "Normani isn't responding" I put my hand on my forehead "let's not jump to conclusions"Camila said . We all nodded . Then I saw a dark skinned beauty walk towards our table , even when she was sleepy she was still perfect..."what took you so long" I asked nervously " well Hi to everyone to " Normai rolled her eyes . Everyone laughed and said hi, except me "You didn't answer me Normani" I drank some water .
" I had to hand in a project" "which class" Ally asked " um.. chemistry" she replied "you sure because you don't even take that and me and Lauren take that every day" Camilla stated. Normani looked down. "Oh wrong one.. I meant I had to hand in an application for college" she rubbed her arms . Even though I knew those were due a week ago I thought it was the best not to ask what's really going on in front of everyone.Later that day
"You do realize that those college application's were due a week ago .."I watched Normani look through the refrigerator. "...there isn't anything in here ..wanna order pizza?" She acted like she didn't hear me "Sure.. Anyways" I continued speaking " I know Dinah" she turned around "okay then where were you" I stood up walking towards her. "What are you planning on doing if I don't tell you" Normani smirked . That smirk turned me on but I knew something happened. I put my hand on her waist pulling her so are bodies will touch . "Now where were you" ..I looked in her eyes "... I was with Arin"..she looked down "Why" I pulled her chin up so her face can be looking at me again. "We were talking.. Dinah I honestly don't want to talk about it" I was now worried "Did he touch you" I asked "yes.."she mumbled "And you didn't fucking tell me right then and there" I removed my hand "not in a bad way ...I'm not hurt Dinah" she looked down "in what way then Normani" I said in a stern voice "..okay your mad... Um he tried to kiss me but I pushed him away" I began to walk towards the living room "I swear I did I knew you were going to get mad so I didn't say anything" I felt two arms around me from behind hugging my waist "I'm serious baby. "I turned around and pulled her back "Don't talk to him anymore"I looked her in her eyes "Why..what..why not" she said ..
"Why not Normani?" I felt my face turning red. "Because..he.. he .. why?" Normani stepped back"HE WHAT?! ,HE HURTED YOU, INFLUENCED YOU TO KILL YOUR SELF, HE ONLY WANTS YOU FOR SEX. LET'S BE HONEST. BUT YOUR CHOOSING TO KEEP HIM IN YOUR LIFE..WHY IS THAT?" Her Face looked shocked "okay your right ...I won't talk to him anymore" she took my hand and tangled our fingers together.."Did I make my baby Mad.." she pouted "what ever Normani"I looked away "Stop saying Normani .. am I still not your princess "she laid her head on my chest "you are I'm just pissed" I mumbled "your jealous you didn't get to kiss me" she laughed. She moved in closer our lips were touching and our tounges were swirling in each other's mouth..Neither of us tried to catch our breath. I ran my hand down her back.."um excuse me am I interrupting something" A unknown slightly shorter girl with brown eyes and dark brown hair asked ... "Oh.. um I forgot you were going to pop up once and a while " the two girls laughed. I slightly coughed. "Oh sorry Dinah this is Shay, Shay this is Dinah. Shay is my aunt's assistant" I looked at the older girl slightly flirting making her blush..I really have to change my player ways.. "Is their anything you need"the older girl asked "um we can eat pizza tonight and watch movies" Normani said excitedly "okay good I'll be back"Shay left and smiled at me before she exited the house. "Are you sleeping over tonight babe" Normani went into the kitchen getting two bowls. "No not tonight my mom said I need to help her out and stop randomly leaving" I laughed picking up my keys and walked towards Normani. I kissed her soft lips. "Oh and don't cheat on me ..please" the girl across from me said "what do you mean princess"I asked softly "I saw you looking at Shay ... but I don't think you meant it intentionally" she held some of my hair in her hand "I really didn't baby I only have eyes for you " I kissed her noise. Making her smile. "I love you Dinah Jane" she whispered "I love you too my princess , I have to go . I will see you tomorrow babe. "I walked out the big house.
