Chapter 4

Hey you guys! I have big plans for this story so here's a new chapter.

I could taste the smoke from the blunt on his breath,but the kisses were still sweet. His hands started roaming all over my body. I didn't even think about how I just had sex not even two days ago. As he passed out on top of me, I realized he didn't wear a condom but it was too late. I put my clothes on and quickly ran out of the room. I ran so far that I wasn't watching where I was going. I ran into something hard that felt like a brick wall. I looked up and it was De.

"Hey baby girl. Where are you going?"

"Home" I said trying to hurry out of the door.

De knew me well enough to know that something was going on.

"Let me give you a ride home."

"Do you really think that you should drive wile you're high?" I asked kind of scared.

"I'm fine. Let's go." he said in a stern voice as he grabbed his keys.

The voice in my head said don't do it. I thought I was going crazy. I shoild not have been hearing voices. I ignored the voice and got into De's black and yellow mustang, De loved the car and called it his baby. As soon as we got into the car he pressed down hard on the gas peddle and my body shot foward. I looked at the speed and it said we were going 80 miles per hour.

"Ummm De. Don't you think you should slow down?" I cautioned him.

He ignored me . He was still high so I guess his common sense wasn't working. At the spped we went we arrived at my house extremely quick. We were lucky taht the police didn't catch us speeding.  I stumbled out of the car. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to jump out of my chest.  I didn't know if it was the drugs or the car but it scared me. I turned to the car and leaned into De's window. I looked him in the eyes and thanked him for the ride.

"Thank you so much for the ride."

"Anytime baby girl anytime." he said but something just didn't feel right.

"Be careful on your way home please."

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

I gave him a quick kiss on the cheak and he sped off.  I turned around and looked in the driveway. My mom's beat up,old station wagon was siting there. I sighed and and walked to the house.  I walked through the door and went straight to the fridge. I defenitly had the munchies. I pulled out some left over lasagna and sat don to eat. My mom walked through the door as I took a huge bite of my food.

"Hey honey." she greeted me

"Hi" I said with a mouth full of food.

I guessed that she was over the fight we had.  She sat down at the table and tried to start a conversation with me

"So what did you do today?"

"Just hung out with some friends."

I don't even think she heard me. She grabbed my face and examined it.

"Have you been smokng dope girl?" she asked

" No! What would make you think that!?"

"Well little girl, your eyes are blood shot red, you can barely keep them open, and you wolfed down that food like it was your last meal!"

I just stared at  her.  I wouldn't tell the truth.

"Little girl I'm not dumb! Just tell me the truth!" she screamed.

I think it was the drugs in my system or the weird feeling I had in my stomach but I just exploded.

"Yes! Alright!? I smoked! And stop calling me a little girl! I'm not a little girl! I can smoke if I want! I'm grown!"

Before I could even react, my face started to sting. My mother's hand through me off and I could feel the tears stinging my eyes.

" Now you listen to me LITTLE GIRL!  I am your momma and you will not speak to me like that as long as you live under my roof!  You are not grown! You are a CHILD!  I don't care how old you are! If you act like a child I will treat you like a child! Now you didn't start acting like this until your father died.  What would he say if he could see you right now!?"

That was the most hurtful thing she could have said. She didn't have to bring up my day. A new flood of tears came running down my eyes. I ran nto my room and cried mysel to sleep.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"De! Slow down!" I screamed but he couldn't hear me. There was an eighteen wheeler coming at us. 

"De!! Please pay attention!!" I tried to reach out and shake him

"De look! Please Look!" but it was too late. The truck hit us head on. I was shakng and I saw a bright light. I heard somebody calling me.  Just then my eyes shot openand my mom was shaking me. 

I quickly reached for my phone to call De to make sure he got home safe,but my mom stopped me.

"Stop mom!" I said stubbornly . 

"No Peyton honey listen to me! You have to see this!"

She grabbed the remote and turned on the news. She turned it up so I could here what the reporter was saying.

"Ths just in, a black and yellow mustang has been found totaled. It is reported that the mustang was in a head on collision wth another vehical. Both drivers were reported dead on the scene. The drivers were Michelle Turner and Donte Williams. Williams was better known as De. He was reported having several bags of unidentified drugs in the vehcal and was under the influence as well.

Just when I thought I couln't cry anymore, a whole new set of tears sprang to my eyes.

"De can't be dead! He can't be!' I screamed in denial.

"I'm so sorry honey." she knew how much he ment to me.

I couldn't breath. It was like an elephant was siting on my chest. I started to sob. My mom pulled me into her arms and held me as I mourned for the loss of my friend.
