New Adjustments (A Trey Songz Fan Fiction)

Chapter 34

"Are you going to that party tonight?" Joslyn asked.

"I don't know really. I might, are you?" I replied as I hung upside down on my bed.

It's Christmas Eve and a couple of seniors from my school are having a Christmas party and the whole school is invited. I've been debating whether I should go or not. See, I'm not a party person, so that's really not my type scene. I'll ask Trey if he's going.

"Uh, yea. The whole school is going to be there. Joel's going and I wouldn't want him with some other female. I heard Trey's going tho."

"Yea, I don't know."

"Now I know you don't want him all over some other female. Plus it's Christmas Eve. Come on Dria."

I sighed. "Fine, I'll just call Trey later and tell him. Goodness, you happy now?"

She laughed. "Extremely."

***

"What you wanna do tonight?" Trey asked me.

"I don't know. What about you?"

"I was thinking maybe we could hit up that Christmas party, if you're interested of course."

I sat up on my floor and looked at him. "Sure. But how long are we going to be there?"

"Not that long. Whenever you are ready to go, we will."

We talked for about another hour then we hung up to get ready.

I went into my closet and took out this basic dress that was hanging in the back corner. It was a all red form fitting dress with spaghetti straps.

As I walked back into my room with my dress in hand, my phone rang. So I just let it ring, I'm too busy to answer it right now.

"Dria?" Que yelled coming into my room.

"What the fuck you want?" I asked putting on my dress.

"Can you put my hair in a ponytail?"

"Why can't you do it?"

"Ooo, that dress it cute. But because I like the way you do it. Can you please?"

I rolled my eyes. "Sure."

*TREY'S POV*

"Damn, I look good." I said into the mirror.

I was wearing a white button down shit with a red bow tie. With my navy blue, red and white Christmas sweater rolled up to my elbows along with the shirt. Some blue jeans and my red Chuck Taylor's. I had my diamond earrings in and a my silver watch.

I grabbed my phone and dialed my baby's number. But she didn't answer so I sent her a text telling her I was on my way. Before I made my way out the door, I grabbed my black jacket and went downstairs. My dad was in the kitchen talking on the phone.

"No, they think she left. I didn't tell them the whole story. No I'm not going to right now. Forrest is still a little to young to know. What should I say? Be like ' Oh, your mom didn't leave she died, who's wants ice cream?' No, I don't know how I'm going to tell them."

My heart sank deep into my chest. She didn't leave?

"So she died?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen. "You've lied to me this whole time about her leaving? I was angry and pissed for so long at myself for thinking she left because of me. I spent so many nights crying myself to sleep thinking I wasn't good enough. So much grief and hatred I put on myself. And now you wanna fucking tell me she's died?" Words can't even explain how I feel right now.

"Son, I'm sorry. It's not like that, I just wa-"

I cut him off. "It's not like that. The fuck you mean it's not like that? You fucking lied to me and Forrest for years about our mom. And you're trying to make excuses for it. You know what, fuck you." And with that, I left.

"I'm not about to sit here and fucking argue with this bitch ass nigga. Fuck him. Lying to us about our mom. The fuck?

*DRIA'S POV*

"Have you called him?" Que asked.

"Yea, I called him like five times. He was suppose to be here already." I told him.

"How about we ride to the party? He might already be there."

I sighed. "Sure, let me get my jacket."

***

I've been here for thirty minutes and I still haven't seen nor heard from Trey. As I sat on the couch, my phone rung. It is a number I don't know.

"Yea?" I answered.

"Is this Dria?" Someone asked.

I stood up and walked to the door because the music was to loud.

"Yes, this is Dria." I said once I got outside.

"Well hello Dria. This is Mr. Neverson. Have you by any chance heard from Trey?"

"We were suppose to come to this party together but he never showed. Is everything alright?"

"No, no it's not. I made a huge mistake and I have no idea where he is." He paused and started crying a little. "Sorry, if you hear anything, let me know."

"Okay, will do."

And with that, he hung up the phone.

"Dria, where have you been? And why are you out here without your coat?" Que asked coming out of the house with my jacket in his hand.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go. I'll be late as well so tell mom." I grabbed my jacket from his hand.

"Iight, whatever. Just don't stay out to late. Time to party." He went back into the house.

I called Trey but he didn't answer.

"Got damn!" I had to think about where he would go.

If he's upset, then there's something really wrong. I got into my car and dove to the park where Trey and I were when I was having a tough time.

I pulled up into the parking lot ten minutes later. It was dark and there weren't any cars around. I pulled out my phone and called Trey again. He didn't answer so I texted him.

Me: please tell me you aren't here before I get out my car and walked around this dark scary park by myself.

He texted me back right away.

My Baby: no, I'm at the clearing. Don't tell Claude.

I drove back to my house and walked straight to the back yard. When Alex and I had that party awhile back, Trey took me to this area he called the clearing deep into the woods behind my house. That's where he first sang to me.

As I got closer to the area, I saw a figure.

"Are you okay?" I asked him once I got to the area.

He didn't say nothing nor turn to face me. I walked over to him and hugged him tight. He hugged me back a couple of seconds later and buried his head into my shoulder and started crying. I rubbed his back smoothly as he cried.
