Chapter One
The Fight
"You expect somebody to sit around all day like yo ass!?" I screamed in the phone to my boyfriend, Ryan.
"Kristie, you're not going to the party. End of discussion." Ryan hung up.
He was crazy if he thought I wasn't going to that party. All he wanted to do was sit around, boring ass. Don't get me wrong, I loved Ryan. He just needed to do something fun for a change. He was a doctor and twenty-eight years old , and I was only twenty. I guess that what it was, but whatever.
I took a quick shower. I lotioned my caramel skin with cocoa butter. I threw on a pair of skinny jeans, a white crop top, and my black and white Jordan's. I put my long, black hair in a sloppy bun. I put some dark shades over my hazel eyes. I looked at myself in the mirror, I turned around to look at my plump butt. Nice. I'm slim but i do have a nice shape.
I grabbed my keys and walked into the living room. My momma was lying on the couch.
"Momma, I'll be back later on Tonight." I kissed her cheek.
I was staying with my mom until I'm out of college. I was studying to become a RN. Right here in Bronx, New York.
"Be careful my baby." my mom, Kathy, said.
"I will."
I left and locked the door behind me. I hopped in my black Nissan Altima and headed to pick up my friend, Mia.
"What's up girl." Mia said as she got in.
"What's up." I drove off.
Mia has been my friend since my freshman year in college. She's a stripper at a club called 'Play Boy.' She's dark skinned, short, and thick with short hair.
I pulled up to the building. Mia and I got out and walked inside. It was jumping! Bitches were popping pussy, niggas were getting twerked on, and you could smell weed in the air.
I'm not the type of girl to twerk, I like to jig!
Nae Nae came on by We Are Toonz. It was my favorite song.
I made my way to the middle of the dance floor. Everyone crowded around as me and another guy started a battle. I can't lie, he was killing it, but I was going harder.
I won the battle, of course. On the way to sit down at the bar, I was picked up and tossed on a shoulder. I started to scream and kick. He carried me outside and put me down. I looked up and noticed it was Ryan. Stupid ass.
" Didn't I tell your ass, not to go to this fucking party?" Ryan asked. In the most proper tone ever.
"I can do whatever I want nigga!" I yelled.
I could see the veins popping from the sides of Ryan's face.
"Get home Kristie. I'm right behind you." Ryan walked away.
I got in my car and drove off. I knew Mia would get a ride home, she got people.
I pulled up in my drive way. Ryan pulled up behind me.
"You embarrassed me!" I yelled in Ryan's face. "Don't nobody wanna sit around and act dead like you. I am 20 years old. I can do what I want, when I want."
Ryan stepped closer to me. "You're running around here, partying and shit. You're not a teenager anymore."
"I just turnt 20. I'm young! You're damn near 30!"
"Okay, continue to run around and act like a whore!"
I gasped. I looked at Ryan with anger in my eyes. I couldn't believe he said I was acting like a whore.
"A ho' Ryan? A ho'? By going to a party? How dare you call me a ho'!" I screamed loudly. Anger took over me. I couldn't even stand to look at him at the moment
Ryan was tall, brown skinned, and slim with brown eyes. But he's crazy as hell. We'd only been dating for 6 months, he acted like we were married.
I turned around and started to walk away. Ryan grabbed my wrist, but I snatched it away.
"Don't touch me! And don't even think about calling or texting my phone tomorrow. Get yo shit together." I rolled my eyes and went inside the house.
"You're back early." Kathy said.
I sighed. "I know. Momma, Ryan came and acted a fool."
She smiled. "Baby I told you, you need somebody younger. You and Ryan just can't relate."
My momma is about 5'7 and light skinned. She has black, long curly hair and Hazel eyes. She's only 43, but she looks younger. She's a high school English teacher. I have one sibling, a brother, Kendrick. He's 22 years old. He's a photographer, he even has his own studio.
My mom was right, but I did love him. I was just so sick of his mess.
"I'm going to sleep. Love you." I kissed her fat cheek.
"I love you too shugga." she smiled.
I walked down the hall and into my bedroom. I kicked off my shoes and laid down. My phone vibrated on my bed, incoming call from Ryan. I ignored it and turned my phone off. I didn't feel like hearing his shit. I soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
