Prince's POV
After Chey went into the house I wanted to apologize to her auntie and leave afterwards, but she kept me on her porch a little longer. "Ari you go in the house too". Chey's cousin goes inside and their aunt tells me to sit down. I look at her chairs then I sit in one, she sits down as well. "Look, I apologize for everything Ms. Tina, as long as I've brought your niece home safe then that's all that matters. I would never want to keep her away from her family or hurt her". I gave her my honesty from heart. She puts a hand on top of mine, "Don't you worry, I wasn't going to call the police on you". My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Huh? What do you mean?" She sighs, "Ok so you know that Chey and her cousin just arrived today, didn't you?" she asked boldly. I nodded. "Well right after she unpacked her things, she just rushed right out to be with you. She didn't think twice about waiting and doing that some other time and chill out with me and Ariana for awhile. And after 6:00 hit and you guys weren't back yet, I started to worry". I looked down at my thumbs. I didn't know Chey was that urged to hang out with me...but I knew she had been waiting a long time.
"I get that you were worried about Chey but you scared her. She was crying after she talked to you on the phone. You should've been more gentle with her, she does suffers from anxiety if you didn't know". Her aunt kinda rolls her eyes at me. "I understand that, it's just that she doesn't really listen to me sometimes". "But she's 18 though, she shouldn't be treated like she's 5. I get you were worried but she told you about our tour and the traffic jam and that I had ran out of gas". Her eyebrows furrowed, "Tour? What tour?" Wait a minute, Chey never told her about our city tour? I explained to Chey's aunt about her wanting to adventure around the city with me and that was one of the other reasons why we arrived late. The rush hour and the gas situation was what made us even more late. Eventually her aunt started to understand more and she forgave us. "Thank you for telling me everything Pres-Purs-Pinstin?" "Princeton, but you can just call me Prince" I suggested. "Like Prince the singer!?" she asked in enthusiasm. I nod and laugh, "Yeah, he's one of my biggest idols". We got up and hugged and told each other goodbye, "I gotta head home now, thanks for understanding Ms. Tina". She nods.
Chey's POV
I flopped on my bed and buried my face into my pillow as I cried. How could my aunt do this?! She's such a cruel human being! I hate her!
Someone knocks on my door. "Leave me alone!" I yelled. "It's Ari" I told her to come in. She sat next to me and rubbed my back. "Man why auntie had to do y'all like that? She need to stop over exaggerating". Ariana said. I lifted my face off my pillow, "I understand she's concerned about my safety but she don't even know how sweet Prince is". I layed back down as I sniffed. "I need to go back out there and confront her". As soon as I said that, I heard the door open. "Learn how to knock" I told my aunt. "Chey look at me". "I don't need to, I can hear you just fine" I said refusing to turn my head to her. "Look.At.Me!" I sigh and turn over, Ari looks up at her as well.
"I didn't call the police to arrest Prince. I sent him home..." She explained calmly. I sat up on my bed, "Why not? You said you were". I said in a snooty tone. She stood in the doorway pushing her hair back, "He explained everything that happened. Why didn't you tell me that y'all were driving around the city when I called you?" "I thought you would be mad, so I only told you about the traffic and the gas situation..." I said slowly. "But baby you have to tell me everything, whether if you know I'll be mad or not cause at least I'll know the truth". "But when I told you what happened on the freeway you still got mad and threatened to have my friend arrested!" I snapped, "I can't tell you anything without you getting mad at me!"
Aunt Tina walks over to me and Ari on the bed. "Look, I threatened to call the police on him because of you". I raised my eyebrows, "What!?" "I hated the fact that you rushed up outta here without even getting familiar with your own family member's place first. You were so urgent to meet Prince, it was like family didn't even matter to you!" What she said hit me, and she's right. All I thought about on my way here was meeting Prince again. I didn't give a damn about spending time with her and Ari first. I had no time to settle at all... "I'm sorry, I wanted to settle but I had already told Prince we would hang out the day I arrived. I wasn't trying to be selfish, I was just excited". I explained. "I understand, but the main reason why I was upset is because you stated that you were going to be gone for a short while and you've been gone since this morning and I thought something happened to you". "I'm sorry, I tried calling Ari so she could tell you about our hold up but her phone was off". Auntie nods, "Ok. I'm glad that you at least tried contacting us. But don't worry about your friend babe, I was just scared".
After I learned my little lesson, my aunt went over to hug me and Ari hugged me too. We all went downstairs to have a comedy movie night to release stress and have fun. My phone vibrated on my lap and I picked it up and saw Prince's notification.
