I woke up around 12 the next day. My head was banging I laid in bed replaying the events of last night. I knew by now June family had found out about her death. Questions will be asked but after the last statement Rod made to me before leaving I knew best to keep my mouth shut. I finally grew enough strength to get up and head to the bathroom. Took a hot steaming shower got out brushed my teeth and got ready for the day.
Waking towards the kitchen my phone rang. Glancing at the screen it was Chuck.
"Hello" I manage to say after picking up
"Wats good shorty busy I was thinking lunch or dinner whatever you prefer"
I wasn't sure how to answer but I knew I needed to get my mind off June so i accepted.
"its already after 1 So dinner it is where do you want to link up" I said half heartily
"I'll meet you at Los Ranches at bayside I alreasy made reservations for 8 see you then"
I hung up and preceed to walk out my front door.
It was after 4 So I figured I would catch happy hour at the club I occasionally dance at.
As I walk through the door I knew it was a bad idea. Walking towards me fast as fuck was Peaches. After last night she was the last person I wanted to see.
"Hey"
"Hey" I replied already annoyed by the small talk.
" How u been holding up?" peaches asked. I could hear her voice cracking.
"Fine trying not to think about it you?"
"Shit hurt but Im keeping my head up some detectives came over asking questions"
My stomach knotting up.
"What the fuck did you tell them" I questioned.
"nothing... Chill I aint stupid plus dey calling it a stripper overdose they dont give a fuck"
I hurted like hell hearing those last words. June was really gone and noone gave a fuck. Make matters worse I blamed myself.
After talking to peaches I head to the bar order 3 shots of henny and watch dem down with circo.
I knew better than mixing my liquor but I badly needed to forget. I stay at the bar another hour before leaving.
While heading to my car I noticed Rod. Turning the other way to avoided being noticed I rushed to my car.
I couldn't face him right now.
Apart of me begin to grow fear for him and that didn't sit well with me.
