New Adjustments (A Trey Songz Fan Fiction)

Chapter 7

When we got off the Ferris wheel, my smile vanished. There he was. Just standing there looking at me. Damn...

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little slut that got me locked up (AN:hey, that rhymes)." He said with a devilish grin on his face.

"What are you doing here?" I asked a little shocked and scared.

He laughed. "Enjoying my life. So, how have you been, Dria isn't it?"

"Just shut up. I don't want to talk to you, just leave me alone."

He laughed again.

"Dria, you ready?" Trey asked coming up to me. He then looked at Kevin. "What's up?"

"Just, catching up with an old friend." He said as he winked at me. "But I have to go, see y'all later."

"No doubt." Trey said to him then he walked off. Trey looked at me. "What's wrong Dria?"

"What time is it?" I ignored his question.

He looked at his phone. "1:30"

"Can we go?"

"Sure, I'll take you home."

"No. I don't wanna go home."

"Okay, bet."

We got into his car and drove. The whole ride was silent. Minutes later we pulled up to the park Trey and I were at not to long ago. We got out and started to walk.

"This has something to do with that "friend" back at the carnival huh?" Trey asked as we sat on a bench.

I nodded. "How did you know?"

He gave me the do-you-think-I'm-stupid look. "Ever since you ran into him, you've been tensed and shaken up. Zoned out."

I looked down at my hands.

"I'm here if you wanna talk about it." He put his arm around me.

"Okay, well that boy back at the carnival wasn't a friend of mine. He was my first boyfriend." I took a deep breath and let out to calm myself down. "When I was 14, I was a shy little girl that barely talked to people. But this boy came out of nowhere and showed me kindness and, what I thought, was love. But turns out he only wanted one thing and when he didn't get it, he made my life hell. He bullied me to the bone. Threatened me, even had some girls try to jump me a few times. It got so bad that one day I tried to end it all. But my brother came home to early and stopped me. He hugged me and I just broke down and told him everything. He called my mom and Kevin, the boy, ended up going to juvie."

"Wooh." Trey said letting go of me.

I chuckled a little. "Yea, that's a lot to process huh?"

He looked back at me and gave me a hug then pulled away a few minutes later.

"Is that why you are scared to be in a relationship?"

"What do you mean?"

"You avoid my liking towards you. Like you're scared to be in a relationship or something."

I looked down. "I'm scared to get hurt again. The few boys I dated in the past were close friends so I really wasn't scared. But that's also why we didn't work out."

"Do you feel scared around me?"

I looked at him. "Not really, I'm just confused. Like what if this is all a joke and you turn out...I don't know."

"Look, I wouldn't hurt you nor let anyone else hurt you. I have a really strong connection with you and it's weird because I've never felt this way about anyone before. I have feelings for you and I can't help it. It kills me to even see you most of the time, because I want you so badly but can't have you."

I smiled. "I don't want you to die."

He looked confused.

"You said it kills you to see me because I'm not yours. I don't want you to die."

He smiled. "So will you go out with me?"

Instead of answering his question, I pulled him into a kiss. A couple of minutes later we pulled away.

"I'll take that as a yes then." He smiled and I smiled back.

"Of course."

He gave me another kiss. "I could get use to this."

I rolled my eyes.

"I'll call you later." Trey said as we reached my door.

I smiled. "Okay. And thank you. I had a good time."

He smiled then kissed me. "No problem."

We said our goodbyes then I went inside. Alex was standing by the steps.

"So where have you been miss lady?" He asked folding his arms.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "I was in Hawaii on some secret mission I shouldn't even be talking about right now. But it's whatever. You won't tell anybody." I lied.

"Oooo, I'm twittin this shit right here. OMG, you gone be so busted girl." He said in a girlish vocie as he went back to his room.

I shook my head. This nigga. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a water. I took a sip while leaning on the counter. Then my phone rung.

"Yea?" I said picking it up.

"Guess what!?!" Que said or yelled.

I laughed. "I don't do well with guessing games, sorry."

"Yea, you were always a terrible guesser. Like that one time you thought I sla-"

I cut him off. "Just tell me why you called."

"Oh yea. I'll be there Tuesday."

I screamed. "FOR REAL!?!"

He laughed. "Of course."

"Why are you screaming?" Alex said as he came into the room.

"Que is coming Tuesday. OMG, I can't breath."

"Please don't die on my D, I haven't even seen you yet. Die after I leave but until then BREATHE!"

"Oh shut up. OMG so who's coming with you and where are you staying?"

He was quiet.

"Ummm, Que?"

"About that. We I mean I was wondering if I could stay at your house. You know momma loves me."

"Wait a minute, who's we?"

"Just ask your mom."

"No, who the fuck is we?" I already have a feeling I know.

"Um, Justin."

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?"

"Aye, he was in the same room when I was talking to you earlier. So this is all your fault. You should ask who's in the room when you wanna talk about meeting up with niggas Dria."

I laughed. "I hate you so much. But how long are you staying?"

"You mean we?" I rolled my eyes. "And a week , maybe two"

"Okay. Call mom and ask her if you can stay."

"You mean y'all, damn Dria. And I'll call her when I get off the phone with you."

"Bet."

We got off the phone five minutes later and then my mom came into the kitchen with her phone to her ear.

"Yes, that is perfect for me. I'll get back to you later baby." She hung up and looked at us. "Okay, I have to go on a business trip and Que and Justin are coming to spend some time. I trust you guys and they will keep an eye on you. I leave tomorrow, but they will be here Tuesday."

"For real? So if they weren't coming, who would've stayed with us since you don't trust us?" Alex asked.

She laughed. "Whatever Alex." She walked out.

"This should be interesting." Alex said walking out.

I sipped my water. "I know." I said to myself.
