Deception

Chapter 18:Just A Little Bump

I woke up this morning feeling super relaxed. I hadnt really slept in days. James was right i did look like shit. I awoke to Rick knocking on my door. Fucking great. I can only imagine what James could be thinking. I stepped aside to let him in but he didnt.
"Look im not going to stay long because if i see your punk ass boyfriend again im going to kill him." I damn sure didnt want to take that chance because if Rick killed James i would turn his ass in. Im
"Alright wasup?" I asked him. Wondering why he was at my house so early.
"Shit around here is getting too hot. Im going to set up shop in cali." California huh? The way this nigga opperated hes not going to last very long. Niggas in California arent like these bitch made Seattle niggas.
"Best of luck to you Rick." I said to him.
"I was kind of hoping i can get one more taste before i left." When he looked down at my pussy i almost smacked him.
"Thats a negetive i suggest you leave now." I said. I did NOT want to fuck him. I also did not know if James was coming back or not. Even if he wasnt i wasnt going down that road again. I have a good man and i want to keep him. He didnt even say bye he just left. I didnt give a fuck im glad hes moving and getting the fuck out of my life. I cant believe he REALLY thought i would have sex with him. Sure enough James came right back. He didnt know it but his mom and i were planning a surprise birthday party for him. I was going to cook breakfast but i saw that he already had it in his hand. It was a Mcdonalds bag so i know my favorite burritos were in there. James is so good to me. I owe him everything.  As we were eating i started to reflect on my life. It seemed like everything was going to change for the better. I wanted James's 21st birthday to be big! After breakfast i headed over his mom's to start planning his party. This woman was very difficult. Every idea i wanted she dismissed it was really getting on my nerves.
"I was thinking we should have a very casual theme nothing too extreme." She said.
"It his 21st birthday its supposed to be extreme." I told her.
"Look little girl this is my son i know what he wants back off!" I ended up leaving i was going to choke her old mean ass. Since the idea of me planning the surprise party was a bust i went to get my nails done. I was shocked to see Jeremiah's play sister in the nail salon. What made matters worse was that she was wearing a sweatshirt with his face on it. I went to school with her i never liked her.
"Oh shit look its the set up." She said as i sat down and began getting my nails done. I ignored her because she was ignorant.
"I heard that nigga Rick you was running around with is burnt beyond measure." She continued. I didnt pay any attention to her. I did however start to think about my tricks. Sometimes i fucked up and didnt use condoms with the fine ones. Oh shit I should probably go get checked out. Then again i am fine. Nothing to worry about. After i finished getting my nails done I returned home. James was gone. Thank god because i wanted to be alone. I kind of wanted to go out. I called Camille and asked if she wanted to go out with me. She was excited and totally down. I should have known. It was fun to go out with Camille because i got all the attention. I would never hang out with a bitch prettier than me. We ended up going to a 21 and over club.
"Larissa we are not 21 we are not going to be able to get in here." Camille cried.
"Girl shut up its ladies night money talks and so does titties so push them up girl." I said with a smile on my face. The worried look on Camille's face was going to fuck up everything. I was going to slide the bouncer a 20 if he wasnt buying it. I dressed and looked way older for my age so i never really got carded for anything. When we got to the front the big black bouncer looked us up and down. To my surprise he smiled and removed the rope. That was too easy and i got to keep my money. The club was pretty packed and full of cute guys. Camille needed to find herself a man because she was too uptight for my liking. She was standing there like a lost puppy while i swung my hips to some Robin Thicke.
"Girl what the fuck is your problem? I asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
She shrugged her shoulders at me. I just about wanted to punch her in the face. I remembered the coke i had in my purse. I started off doing it on occasion but now it seems i cant go a day without it.
"Come to the bathroom!" I said as i pulled her. When i pulled out the coke her eyes widened.
"Oh my god is that coke?" She asked me looking disgusted.
"Look bitch you need to loosen up you are fucking up a good time i dont want to hear that i dont feel pretty shit." I snapped. I put some of the coke on my hand and snorted it. I put some on her hand.
"Now snort it!" I yelled. She hesitated but eventually snorted it. She shook her head like it hurt which im sure it did. I remember the first time i snorted coke in Vegas. She looked like she was reacting funny to it. I didnt think it was a big deal. When she collapsed a freaked out. Oh my god what the fuck! If i call the police they are going to try and pin some crazy shit on me! Owell i could have killed this girl. I picked her up and threw her big ass over my shoulder. I darted through the club it was hard to get through the croud of people. I finally made it outside to my car i threw her in and sped to the hospital. Luckily we were very close to a hospital. I pulled up into the emergency room drop off.
"SOMEBODY HELP!!!" I Screamed. A few male nurses came running to her aid. Man if this girl dies that another fucking life on my concious!
"What happened?" One of the nurses asked me.
"I i i dont know we were dancing and she just fell out on the dance floor." I lied.
"Were there any drugs involved?" The nurse continued. I wasnt sure how to answer this question. I knew once Camille woke up she would never admit to doing drugs. So i was home free.
"Im not sure if there were drugs involved." I lied again. The nurse stopped asking me questions and they took her away. I cant deal with anymore deaths this shits unreal. All i gave her was a little bit of coke. I was scared to call Camilles mom because she already didnt like me. When i turned my cell phone back on i already had several messages from James. I swear ever since this whole prostitution thing he has been on my ass i dont have time for that shit. I called him back.
"Where the hell are you?" He yelled into the phone.
"Well hi to you too." I said.
"Larissa dont fucking play with me where are you?" He snapped.
"Im at the hospital." I said trying to sound calm.
"Wait why are you at the hospital?"
"Long story ill tell you later i have to go." I said as i hung up. I know he was boiling but too bad i needed to call Camille's mom. Camille's mom Vanessa sounded groggy when she answered the phone like she was in a deep sleep. I hated to be the bearer of bad news.
"Ms. Vanessa something happened to Camille you should get down to Swedish." I said in a low remorseful tone.
"What do you mean little girl?" She yelled into the phone.
"I cant exactly say because im not sure but you should really come fast." I said. I heard a click and then nothing on her end. I just knew she had jumped out of her bed in a frantic manner. I felt awful. I never meant for any of this to happen i just wanted her uptight ass to loosen up. I knew deep down inside that she was going to be okay she just had to be. God should know i dont want anymore tragedy in my life. About 20 minutes later Vanessa came bursting through the swinging doors demanding to see her daughter. The doctors must have been still working on her because I hadnt heard anything since they took her.
"Ma'am i need you to calm down what is your daughter's name?" The receptionist asked.
"Camille Bernard." Her mom said. She sounded all frantic and shaky. The receptionist paged for the doctor to come out and meet her. When the doctor came out he took Vanessa to the side. I couldnt hear anything being said. Judging by the way Vanessa dropped to the ground I dont think it was good news. My heart began to race. Oh shit what was the matter. I walked over to Vanessa to see what the doctor told her. As soon as i got close she grabbed me around my neck and began choking me.
"You BITCH!! Its all your fault my baby is DEAD!!" A group of nurses ran up and aprehended her. As i sat there Vanessa's words cut me deep. Camille was dead? She was my only friend and now shes gone. I went over to the doctor and asked him what happened. Apparently Camille had been taking Oxycotin. The Oxycotin mixed with the cocaine was a bad reaction. She went into cardiac arrest. They tried to revive her but she was gone. I sank to the floor. How the fuck was i going to explain this to James? Who by the way kept calling me. I took off out of the hospital. I couldnt stand the fact that all these people were dying because of me. When i got home i got on the shower with my clothes on and just dropped. I sat there crying as the water fell on my body. My best friend was dead and there is no one to blame but myself.
