The Help (MB)

Chapter 38

*Unknown POV*

I've been watching her the whole time she's been here. Her hair was long and straight,her waist small.

I watched as she stalked off to the bathroom,leaving lover boy sitting there all alone. He turned the other way,bobbing his head to the music and looking around.

I took this as my chance to pop the pill into her drink. It fizzed about in the glass and in a few moments it was gone. I smiled,knowing that a few minutes after she drunk the drink she would have to use the restroom again,and that's when i'd grab her.

I sat down at the seat on the other side of lover boy and nodded my head at him after ordering a sprite.

"Yo,that outfit is dope,no lie." I said,looking at him.

"Thanks bro." He said.

"Those real?" I asked,nodding towards the chains around his neck,and he nodded.

"Better tuck them off in your shirt. Niggas be crazy these days. Pretty boy like you don't wanna get jumped."

"Man I wish a nigga would. They ain't that stupid." He said,chuckling.

"Yes they are. They'd do anything for a couple real chains. I'm trying to help you out..." I raised my eyebrows and stood up.

He smiled and tucked the chains off in his shirt and nodded at me.

"Thanks,bro. I'm Ray,by the way." He said,shaking my hand.

"Trey." I said,nodding at him. "I'll catch you later,man. I gotta go." I said,walking off. I felt him watch me walk away and grinned.

....

*Ray*

What the hell. That conversation was anything but normal. The dude seemed relaxed,a little too relaxed if you asked me.

I shrugged. Maybe the dudes here are just weird.

I felt Peyton put my beanie back on my head,and I turned my head and smiled at her.

"Who was that?" She asked,pointing in the direction Trey went.

"I don't know. Some dude warning me about my chains. Said people would jump me if that meant getting these." I chuckled.

"What the hell?" She asked.

"Exactly." I said. She sipped her sode slowly.

"This soda tastes different." She said,making a face.

"It's probably just watered down.." I said,taking another fry.

We talked some more and ate fries,and I noticed her behavior start to get a little strange.

"Her hair looks like an apple.." She laughed hard,pointing at a girl who had red,short hair.

I glanced at Peyton.

"You okay? You're slurring your words."

"No,no i'm fine. I just feel funny". She held her stomach and looked at me.

"You need to go to the bathroom? Come on." I grabbed her hand and led her to the girl's bathroom. I was thankful no one was in there.

Peyton barely made it to the toilet,throwing up like there was no tomorrow. I held back her hair until she got done and helped her clean her face.

"You okay now? You wanna go sit out in the car?" I asked.

"I want to go to sleep.." She said,sliding down the wall and laying on the floor. She closed her eyes and started snoring.

I looked at her weird,my heart racing,and picked her up. I heard her soft snoring in my ear as I carried her out of the bathroom and into the parking lot.

I passed by Trey and saw him staring at me extra hard,looking like he was mad or something. I just looked the other way and kept walking,headed to the car.

I laid her in the back seat and sat beside her,her legs resting on my lap. I sighed,getting a bottle of water and splashing some on her face. She was out like a light.

I sighed and texted Chres.

Ray2wice : out sittin in the car. Pey wasn't feeling good.

YaBoyChres : whats wrong? we need to leave?

Ray2wice : no. she's fine now. just sleeping.

YaBoyChres : iight. keep me updated..

I put my phone back in my pocket and looked at Peyton once again. I tried shaking her awake,calling her name. She stayed sleep. I rested head on the window and started to dose off myself.

*Penny*

Craig and I raced around the roller rink,laughing. We finally slowed down and started going at a steady pace.

"Yea man,I won." Craig started dancing.

"Boy,why you lying? You know that I clearly won." I said,looking at him.

"No. I won."

"No. I did."

"Fine. Tie."

"Only losers say it was a tie."

"But it was a tie."

"If a tie means I won,then so be it."

"That didn't even make sense."

"I know."

"I dont get you." He laughed,making my smile spread.

"But you love me."

"True. Hey,let's take a break." He grabbed my hands and we went to a table beside the rink and sat down.

"Marquan was right. This place is too live." I said,nodding my head to the music.

"Yea. This is so much fun."

"It's like we're on a date without supervision."

"Actually no they are here too."

"Damn it." I giggled.

"I know right."

"Okay,i'm tired of sitting down." I said,standing back up.

"Race you to the yellow pole!" I screamed, skating away as fast as I could. He quickly stood,going after me,but I won of course.
