I never thought my life would turn out the way it did. Lonely, depressing, and just dark, yet I knew that my life would take a sharp turn after my little incident of being reckless, careless even.
I was only 14 and it was the summer of 16'. It just had began too and I just knew my summer was gonna be exciting after becoming princess at my 8th grade formal.
June 4th 2016, Saturday.
My brother Jay and I decided to visit an old friend at work, which was the beach. His name I couldn't remember but I knew him by the way he wore his timberland boots with his yankee NY hat to the back with his red lifeguard shorts and a white T.
My brother enjoyed his company just as he enjoyed ours as he worked. Occasionally we would talk about the mists of being single and how relationships were gonna be the bomb next year, we would rap and make beats with the boats, and often we would play in water like tag or something until he actually had to do his job (which never happened) over the time period I grew to like him more but it wasn't as strong.
Anyways after a long day of sitting in the hot sun talking and laughing, lifeguard (his new name) handed me 2 dollars to get him a Soda which I immediately agreed too.
"Jay come with me please. I don't want Kya thinking some bullshit" I begged. He knew where I was coming from so he didn't bother to question my request.
We both walked along side next to each other jokingly making a plan to rob the life guard of his $2.00 to spend on our own, making plans like.
"I'll tell him somebody snatched the money or ran"
"Say that he didn't give us money to buy and make him feel like he actually didn't"
And my favorite.
"Never go back"
We laugh along cutting through the buildings until we were stopped by a bunch of old folks.
"Hey kiddos would you like to participate in our free karaoke night? Person who wins gets to get a prize." He announced.
My brother didn't take no time to ask the old guy what the prize was.
"Free drink and hot dog. It's worth your while" he persuaded.
I look through the shiny glass windows to see if any body was in there but to my surprise nobody was so I agreed.
After buying lifeguards drink, I rush down as fast as my legs could take me occasionally skipping over steps on the stair case and hand him what he wanted.
"Ayo what's the rush for ma?" He asks nosily after sipping his Sprite. At the moment I needed that drink.
"I'm doing that karaoke thingy" I said cheekily.
He chuckled. "Why? Lil mamma can't sing" he mocked teasingly.
I roll my eyes flipping him off as I fish the string of my crop top out of my breast and zipper of my adidas that was wide open due to me putting my foot in.
After signing my name and putting down the song I was going to sing I quickly sit down to only stand back up cause I called first.
Luckily nobody was here. Well except for these two little girls and their mother
After my performance I grab my drink and hot dog and sit down. Just then a bunch of people come in watching the show. Some of them went and some just watched and laughed.
Since there was no seats left and some boy sat down in my seat, I sat down on the floor watching my brother and some random little boy go on stage.
Just then I felt a gaze on me. I faked a sneeze to see who was staring but nobody looked. I turn my head again feeling a bit uncomfortable. A curly head boy had asked the little girl if I went and she nodded. He then asked if I was good and of course she said yea.
Not long before a minute that my brother was done with his duet with the little boy that I rushed out not caring about the other performances.
What the actual fuck...
