Forever

Chapter XIII

Roc Royal’s Point of View

 The date with Hazel was incredible. She was shy for the first part but the kiss is something I will never forget.

 ‘’Aye Walt calling for a meeting.’’ Princeton said. I got out of my bed and walked downstairs to the kitchen. Walt, Keshia and Ray were sitting at the table.

 ‘’We have some shocking news to tell you boys.’’ Keshia said.

 ‘’Prodigy wants to withdraw himself from the group.’’ Walt said. Prince, Ray and I looked at them in shock.

 ‘’What!’’ Ray shouted, shooting up from his chair. What the fuck, man?! He was suppose to be our brother.

 ‘’Why?’’ I asked, quietly.

 ‘’He wants a solo career.’’ Keshia said. We all looked at each other. We all took a pack that we would be brothers to the end.

 ‘’That’s why he went Philadelphia.’’ I said, getting a little pissed off. I stormed out of the kitchen and upstairs. I walked into my room, slamming the door behind myself. I got on my knees and grabbed the box from until the bed.  I opened it and grabbed my boxing gloves. I opened my closet and grabbed my boxing dummy. I started punching the shit out of it. He is just a fuck ass nigga. How is Team Mindless going to take this? My phone went to ringing. I walked away and took off my gloves. I grabbed my phone and seen Hazel’s name. I unlocked my phone and answered the call.

 ‘’Hello?’’ I asked, leaning against the wall.

 ‘’Hi best friend!’’ Hazel said with her energized self.

 ‘’What’s up?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Nothin’, what are you doing?’’ She asked.

 ‘’Nothin’, just workin’ out. What about you ma?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Just watchin’ some old Vines on my iPad.’’ She said.

 ‘’Cool.’’ I said.

 ‘’I gotta go, bye Mr. Royal.’’ She said hanging up. This girl has got me sprung. I got on the floor and did some push ups. My bedroom opened and I seen a familiar afro.

 ‘’What do you want?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Roc, stop and get up.’’ Princeton said. I got up and put my boxing gloves.

 ‘’Talk.’’ I said punching the dummy.

 ‘’Roc, why you mad?’’ He asked.

 ‘’This fuck nigga gonna quit the band! What happened to the pack we made! How the fuck is Team Mindless gonna take this!’’ I said going into overdrive.

 ‘’Calm down.’’ He said. I just continued punching the dummy. I don’t understand, why the fuck are you going to quit?  

 Hazel’s Point of View

 I was laying down on my bed, reading People magazine. I was wearing my black Rayban eyeglasses. Yes, I wear glasses but they are not prescription. I turned the page and seen Best and Worst dress. My phone started playing ‘Ghetto’ by August Alsina. I unlocked it and answered.

 ‘’Hello?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Hazel, I need you over here now!’’ Princeton shouted.

 ‘’Why?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Roc is pissed off. Can you come over?’’ He asked.

 ‘’Yeah, I’ll be over in about half an hour.’’ I said hanging up my phone. I got up and walked into my closet. I slipped on a white Brian Lichtenberg ‘’Feline Meow’’ contrast printed sweatshirt, grey Adidas track pants, with Chestnut UGG Australia Classic short boot. I put my hair into a messy bun. I walked out of my room, downstairs. I grabbed my keys and walked out of the door.

 I walked out to my car. I got in and put the key into the ignition. I pulled off, concentrating on the road. What the fuck pissed him off? I pulled up to the Conjunction house. I took the key out of the ignition and got out. I walked up to the door and knocked. The door opened and there was Princeton.

 ‘’Come on, go.’’ He said. I walked upstairs to his bedroom door. I opened the door and seen Roc punched the shit out of the dummy. He was sweating a lot. The sweat went down his muscle. I bit my lip.

 ‘’Roc.’’ I called out in a quiet tone. He turned around and looked at me.

 ‘’Why are you here?’’ He asked.

 ‘’Princeton called. What’s wrong?’’ I asked closing his bedroom door.

 ‘’Nothing, Hazel.’’ He said. I walked over to him and touched his arm.

 ‘’Rocky, sit down before you pass out.’’ I said. He sat down on the bed. I got up and grabbed a towel. I threw it at him and he wiped himself off.

 ‘’What’s wrong?’’ I asked

 ‘’Prodigy quit the group.’’ He said, taking off his boxing gloves.

 ‘’Why?’’ I asked.

 ‘’He wants a solo career.’’ He said.

 ‘’Why are you mad?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Cuz’ we made a pact that we wouldn’t quit.’’ He said.

 ‘’You didn’t quit though, you got to remember that you have Team Mindless and your music to focus on, not this bullshit.’’ I said.

 ‘’That’s why you are my best friend.’’ He said side hugging me.

 ‘’Boy go take a shower then we can talk.’’ I said playfully pushing him off of me. I got up and walked out of the room. I put on his boxing gloves and went to the dummy. I punched it repeatedly.

 ‘’I see you can box.’’ Someone said scaring me. I turned around to see Roc in his black sweatpants.

 ‘’I’ve never tried.’’ I said.

 ‘’The key is to have some force behind your punches and you have to dodge.’’ He said coming behind me.

 ‘’Like this?’’ I asked doing quick, forceful punches.

 ‘’Yeah, you got it baby girl. Now you want to watch a movie?’’ He asked. I nodded my head and laid down on his bed.

 ‘’What do you wanna watch?’’ He asked.

 ‘’Something funny.’’ I said. He popped in and can laying down behind me. Madea’s Big Happy Family started playing.

 ‘’Rocky.’’ I said in the voice of that annoying girl. He chuckled at me then threw his arm around my waist. I smiled and watched the movie. The door opened, Princeton and Ray Ray walked in.

 ‘’Aww, look at you guys.’’ Princeton said.

 ‘’What do you negros want?’’ Roc asked.

 ‘’To check on you. I see Hazel can cure your madness.’’ Princeton said.

 ‘’She is my best friend.’’ He said smiling. I kissed his cheek and turned back to watching the movie.

 ‘’Aww, we gon’ leave you guys alone.’’ Ray Ray said dragging Prince out of the room. He closed the door and Roc kissed my cheek. I turned around to face him. I pecked his lips.

 '’What was that for?’’ He asked.

 ‘’I don’t know, them lips are irresistible.’’ I smiled. I turned back around and watched the movie. I felt Roc’s arm loosen. I looked and seen Roc was asleep. I was about to get up till’ I heard a voice.

 ‘’No, stay here.’’ He said, tiredly.

 ‘’Roc, you know I have to get home.’’ I said.

 ‘’Pwease.’’ He begged.

 ‘’Fine.’’ I said getting back into his embrace.

 ‘’I love you best friend.’’ He mumbled.

 ‘’I love you too.’’ I said. There is something about Roc that is special. I don’t know it is but I’m falling hard for him.
