I looked over at my phone still blowing up and I sighed.
"Nicki, can you please open the door?", Carol asked.
I slowly got up and opened the door.
"Are you okay?"
I shook my head and sat back down on my bed.
"I should've listen to you mom."
"It's alright Nika."
We both looked at my phone blowing up and I closed my eyes until someone knocked on the door.
"I wonder who that is.", Carol mumbled.
"I don't want to see anyone.", I said and she nodded.
I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked a mess.

"Nicki, it's a guy named Omelly."
"Let him in."
I put my hair in a ponytail and sat back down on the bed.
"Hey Nic, how've you been?"
"Your dumbass cousin ruined everything! I can't even show my face at school anymore."
"Don't worry about it Nic, I got it covered."
"Thanks O, one more thing."
"What's up?"
"Can you tell Trey to come over?"
"Yeah."
"Thank you.", I said hugging him.
"You mind if I come over later?"
"You're always welcome."
"I'll see you later.", he said and I nodded.
I watched him walk out my room so I picked up my phone and unlocked it. I had 452 messages and 213 missed calls. I deleted all my social media apps and put my phone on airplane mode.
"Should've listened to your mama Onika."
"Stop beating yourself up over it."
"He gained my trust again, took pictures of me, and posted them! How can I not beat myself up over it?!"
"Calm down baby."
I picked up my phone and threw it out the room and started crying.
