Jewel I (In the beginning)

Chapter 9

Just a quick chapter for you guys, please enjoy. Comment to let me know what's up.

        I stood in the shower, allowing the water to splash on my back like paint balls. All that was in my head were what ifs. I didn't know what would come next. I felt like my life was a drama being performed on a stage. It was like I was being watched by so many people and there was so much irony behind my life story.

        It was like everyone else knew what was going on except me. Everyone knew what would happen next except me. I was lost. Lost in my thoughts, lost in a nightmare, lost and alone. It was cold being alone. who would I run to. I had Noone at this point. The only person there was Ciroc and I don't even know if I can trust her. She may have helped me out but I was just meeting her and from what I observed, she wasn't the good girl type.

        After twenty minutes of my shower, I was finally finished. I dried off and put on the clothes that Ciroc had given me. She had slipped some band new panties and a bra inside the bathroom as I washed. she was very helpful to me. I still didn't know if she was trust worthy but why not enjoy the good treatment while I had the chance.

        I walked into Ciroc's bedroom to find her laying across her bed with a change of clothes on. she was really into her phone. Whatever was on her phone must have been really important because she didn't even notice me enter the room.

        Ciroc finally sat her phone down and placed her attention on me. "They look good on you." She says referring to the jeans she had given me. "I hope you enjoyed your shower cause we have things to do and business to handle."

        "Business like what?" I asked with a confused look on my face.

        "Don't worry honey. Its nothing bad."

        I didn't know what Ciroc had planned for us to do next. I didn't know what kind of business that we had to handle and why I had to handle it. I was confused. She said that it wasn't bad so why would she use the word business. When I think of business needed to be handled, I think of problems that need to be solved. I didn't know what problems needed to be solved because I didn't even know how to solve them. When you try to fix a problem, you make it bigger. A woman once told me that the problem isn't the problem, your reaction is. I never forgot her words. I try to forget about the problem but even that doesn't work.

        Ciroc stood up from her bed and grabbed my hand, leading me out the room and into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and pulled out a banana. She peeled it and started munching down on it. She pointed to the cabinet above the dish rack. I was guessing that she wanted me top open it. When I opened the cabinet, it looked like heaven. There were cookies, chips, candy, and all kinds of snacks. My mouth started watering. I was hungry for some Doritos.

Ciroc threw what was left of her banana in the trash. "You can get a snack until we get some real food cause moms not home and I'm not about to cook nothing." She exclaimed.

        "Anything?" I asked.

        "Anything not everything." She laughed. Before hopping in front of me and pulling out a chocolate Pudding cup and sitting down at the table.

         I pulled out a bag of Doritos, some skooby do snacks, and a pack of powdered doughnuts. Ciroc watched my every move. I didn't think she noticed that she was starring at my hand full of snacks with her mouth wide opened.

        "I thought I said anything not everything. You got the cabinet too." She joked.

        She thought it was funny but I wanted more than that. I hadn't ate in so long. I needed a real meal but I wanted some junk food. I sat at the table across from her and started opening up my Doritos.

        Nothing was said, while we ate. Every time I put a chip in my mouth, the other hand would be digging for more. All we could hear was my crunching on the chips and me sucking the cheese off my fingers. Them Doritos were in point and so was them powdered doughnuts. I was planning on saving my skooby do snacks for the ride to where ever. As I finished with my snack, Ciroc handed me a dollar general bag to put my dirty clothes in.

        She turned off all the lights and made sure everything was off before we headed for the door.
