Chapter 6

            I wake up and it’s about 5:30pm. I check my phone and see that I have 10 missed calls. I had 3 from my mom, 1 from Joe, 2 from Tyler and 4 from Devin. Wow that’s a lot. I wonder what that’s all about. I pick up my phone to call Devin since he called me the most times and first but I get another call from Tyler. “Hello?” I said. “Hey, girl what you up to?” she asks sounding a little different. “I’m calling everyone back who called me earlier. I had ten missed calls; 4 from you. What was that about?” She was quiet for a second then blurted it out. “I think Devin and Sindy are gonna go back out!” My whole body froze and my bottom lip dropped to the floor. She cannot be serious right now. “What the f…” I started to say. “I’m sorry but I really do. Everyone’s talking about it and I heard some things about that football kickback they had last Wednesday.” She said. That was the day Sindy was talking about in her post on Devin’s Facebook page. “What did you hear?” I practically yelled. She hesitated but came out with it. “I heard there was a lot of drinks there and marijuana. There were a lot of girls there and drunk guys…” she said not getting to the point. “Tyler, I don’t care about that! What did Devin do with Sindy!” I yelled. “They had sex, Skai. That’s what I heard. He was drunk and he was high and she came along. I’m really sorry.” A lot of rage came through my head. I was steaming hot and angry. I could beat the crap out of something right now. I’m so mad I can’t even think straight. Calm down, Skai. I tried to tell myself that but it’s not working at all.

            I told Tyler bye and hung up without hearing her response. I quickly called Devin to see if it’s true. He didn’t answer so I called again and it went to the voicemail. I log onto Facebook and check his page. The meeting for today was cancelled so I know he’s not with the team. I scroll back down the post Sindy wrote. I clicked on her name. This so isn’t like me to be all up on somebody’s Facebook page. I have to see if she has said anything about Devin. I scroll down her page and saw posts that I thought could possibly be about Devin. “We belong together.” “Let’s get back together. We’re perfect for each other.” Then I saw a post that killed any doubt that I had in my mind. “Devin will be mine, even if he has a girl.” She didn’t tag him in the post but I know it’s him because she has the date they got together in 9th grade on it. “That low down, good for nothing, son of a b…” I started to say before I got a phone call from Devin. “Hello?” I said angrily and sorta yelling. He didn’t say anything but I could hear voices. There was a girl. Then it hit me, it was Sindy. What the hell are they doing together? “Devin!” I yelled. Still no answer. I heard him talk. “Sindy, why are you doing this?” he asked. “Making you remember who I was.” She said sounding seductively. I heard a noise that sounded like a kissing. “Mmm… you miss my kisses don’t you, Devie?” she said before I hear more kissing noises. “You know this, girl.” My heart dropped and I died inside. “Devin.” I cried. I can’t believe he did this to me.

            I hang up the phone and throw it. “Ugh I effing hate him!” Before I knew it, I was throwing everything in my room. Rage was building up again. I walk to my life size mirror and break it. I pick a big piece of glass and was almost about to do what I’ve never done before; cut myself. The blood was already dripping down my hand just from breaking it and holding it. Then I felt someone grab my arm and snatch the glass out of my hand. “Skai, stop it!” I heard someone yell. I’m so angry that my hearing isn’t that well. I just heard a lot of people talking and yelling and I could feel my body being picked up…

            I wake up and all I see is white. I get the feeling that I am at the hospital. I sit up and look around scratching my head. What the hell happened? The door to my hospital room opened and Anthony came in. “Anthony, what are you doing here?” I said shocked to see him. “Oh my goodness, Skai, you’re ok. You scared the hell out of me.” He hugged me tightly. It felt good that he cared so much. “I have no idea. All I know is that I had gotten off the phone with Tyler and then I wake up here.” I can’t believe that my memory is gone. I don’t remember what happened. “Skai, you ruined your whole room. You broke your mirror…you really went crazy.” He said sounding really sad. I can’t believe I did that. “Really, that happened?” I asked. He shook his head yes. “How’d I get here?” “Sebastian heard all the noise and ran up to your room.” He paused and then looked at me. “You were about to cut yourself?” he said but asked at the same time. He was confused and so was I. “I was about to do what?” I yelled. “Cut yourself.” He answered. “Ain’t no way in hell!” I know my anger issues have not gotten to that point. He pulled out his iPhone and did something on it. He leaned in closer and turned the phone toward me. He showed me secret pictures he took of my room after my wrath. I was shocked and appalled at my own actions. He even showed me a picture of my favorite thing broken; my full size mirror. It was shattered into a million pieces. What caused me to get so mad?

            I lie back on the hospital bed and try to remember what happened. Nothing comes to my mind. Before I can start to think again, my family comes into the room excited to see that I’m awake. Sebastian looked pale and scared. “Honey you’re ok?” my mom asked moving closer to me. Anthony stepped away and let my family embrace me. After about 5 minutes, a nurse came in to check on me. She talked about what my injuries were and what I can and cannot do. I didn’t hurt myself too bad, I just have to lay low for 5 days.  Thank God cheerleading tryouts isn’t for another 2 weeks after my 5 days. “What time is it?” I ask. “It’s 12:47 am. Why?” Shanette asked. It’s that late and Anthony is still here? “Anthony why are you here so late? You have school tomorrow.” I said worriedly. He smiled a beautiful smile that I’ve never seen before. “I think this is a little bit more important don’t you think?” he said still smiling and throwing in an innocent wink. No one but me saw it. “Thank you.” I said smiling. By the look on Shanette’s face, I knew we were gonna have a conversation about Anthony soon. She smiled at Anthony and then at me. She might be thinking what I’m thinking. Anthony must really like me. But doesn’t he go with Staci? She'll kill me more than I almost did, if she finds out somehow.

        One o’clock comes around and Anthony gets up and walks to me.  Only me, Shanette and him are in the room at this point because the rest went downstairs for food. He wasn’t hungry. “Hey, Skai, I’m gonna head home ok?” he said. “How are you gonna get home?” I asked. “I actually have a car. Haven’t been feeling like driving to school so I catch the bus.” He answered. “Oh, well that’s good. Guess I’ll see you later at school.” I smiled. “Get your rest. Just take today off and I’ll bring you your homework and classwork for you after school if that’s ok with you.” He said ever so sweetly. Wow he’s such a nice guy. Too bad that pest Staci has him. Speaking of Staci. “Won’t Staci be mad if she finds out you were here and is bringing me my work later?” I asked. He laughed. “What’s so funny?” “Who cares what Staci feels?” he laughed some more. “I don’t get it. She doesn’t like me and I know she’ll dislike me even more if she finds out her boyfriend was being nice…” “Wait, boyfriend?” He says cutting me off. He laughed again. “Staci and I are NOT together. She’s just a family friend who’s had a crush on me since elementary school. I’m not interested in her.” He said with a chuckle. I am totally shocked.  “Wow, I thought for sure you two were together.” I said laughing with relief. He smiled at me. “You’re funny. Now get some rest and I’ll see you at about 3:45 tomorrow ok?” He smiled that beautiful smile and came closer to give me a hug. I hugged him back and smiled. He pushed back but leaned forward to kiss my forehead. He smiled and headed for the door. I know for sure that he likes me now. Even though my day’s been stressful, he made it all go away.

            I forgot Shanette was in the room so when he left, she jumped up and down screaming with excitement. “He totally likes you! I can see it in his eyes.” She yelled. I laughed at her. “He does, huh?” I thought to myself of everything that has happened today. At least of what I can remember.  The life of Skai Jones ain’t no joke.
