Torn Between The Two | Drake & Chris Brown

Chapter 27

- Continuation from the last chapter -

I decided to leave Chris sleeping. Of course that didn't mean that I was done with him. I had a bunch of questions for him. Instead, though, I walked back upstairs and took a shower. I was still going to go to Eli's party whether Chris was coming with me or not.

I wore this: [MM]

I texted Eli to tell him that I was still going to go to the party and I asked if I could invite Jaycee and Michael since he knew them also from high school. Eli was very excited because he hadn't talked to them since high school.

Once I was ready to leave,  I sent the address to Jaycee and Michael. We all met up at Eli's house.

At the party

"Welcome to the party! It's nice to see you guys again! Jaycee you look wonderful!" Eli welcomed us. Jaycee gave him a hug and him and Michael dapped each other up. Eli then led us to the kitchen where there were refreshments available. We picked up a few things and walked into the living room where the rest of the guests were chatting and eating away.

"So how's life? What are you guys doing as a career?" Eli asked.

"Well, I'm a rapper," Michael said.

"As of now, I'm just taking over Dani's dance studio while she's pursuing her singing career, but I soon want to have my own dance studio. You?" Jaycee said.

"I do the graphics for Disney," Eli said,  taking a sip of his drink.

We all clapped a little. "No wonder why you just bought this nice ass house," Jaycee said.

Eli laughed. "Thanks."

While those three were talking, I got a call from Chris. I excused myself and went outside to answer my phone.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Dani?" Chris asked.

"Yeah," I replied, annoyed that Chris was calling me now.

"Where the hell are you?" He asked angrily.

"I'm at the party that you were supposed to come with me to. No, you were too busy getting drunk and going home with girls to remember," I said angrily.

"Come back home," Chris demanded.

"No, I got invited to the party, and I'm staying. You shouldn't care anyways. Tamara is still at Honey and Wayne's. You have the whole day to do whatever you please." I said.

"I said to come back home," Chris demanded more firmly.

"And I said no," I hung up the phone and walked back to the party.

When I walked back inside, Eli had left Jaycee and Tyga and was entertaining some other guests. I sat with them on the living room couch next to them.

"Damn, what happened Dani?" Jaycee asked concerned.

"Chris, he's being an asshole." I replied, not wanting to talk about the situation.

"What happened?" Michael asked.

"Well, I don't know when he came in last night, well this morning. But when I went downstairs this afternoon, he was asleep on the couch, reeking of alcohol. I decided not to wake him, and I just got dressed and came here. Now he's calling me telling me to come home. I told him no, but he still keeps telling me to leave. He could be doing anything he wanted today because Tamara is still with Honey, but he just wants to ruin my day. it's pissing me off," I replied.

Jaycee and Michael looked at each other and back at me. They both looked even more concerned.

"Dani, can I talk to you in private?" Jaycee asked.

"Sure," I got up a little confused.

She walked me back outside.

"Is there something you would like to tell me about Chris?" Jaycee whispered.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Like, maybe he's abusive or something," Jaycee said.

"No!" I said immediately.

"Are you sure?" Jaycee asked.

"Yeah, he has never laid a finger on me," I said.

"Well, maybe verbal abuse?"

"Um, well, he has said things that I don't like," I tried to sugarcoat.

"I think that's a yes. Don't make me get Michael to-" Jaycee started.

"Jaycee! That's not necessary. It's okay." I said, trying to end the conversation.

"It's not okay Dani! What if it gets worse?" Jaycee tried to stay calm and not shout.

"It won't. I promise." I replied.

"If I suspect anything else, Dani, I'm telling Michael. I don't care what you say." Jaycee said, ending the conversation and leading us back into the house.

When we walked back by Michael, he looked at both of us. It looked like he was trying to read what we had just talked about. I'm sure he, too, is thinking that Chris is abusing me. Hopefully, though, he won't try anything crazy.

Soon Melanie, Eli's wife, came to greet Jaycee, Michael, and I.

"Hi I'm Melanie, or Mel for short. I've heard so many great things about you all." Melanie smiled.

"Hey, I'm Dani," I smiled, hugging her.

"Jaycee," Jaycee did the same.

"And Michael," Michael did the same.

"Oh yeah, I've seen y'all on TV before. Tyga is your stage name, right? And y'all have a son together?" Mel asked.

"Yup. That's us," Jaycee said.

"Cool. And Dani, you did that song with Drake. And you date Chris Brown, right?" She asked.

"Yeah. You sure know your stars don't you?" I joked.

We all laughed.

"Yeah. Ever since this second pregnancy, I stay eating up the whole house underneath the covers watching TV. I know about almost everything in the recent news." She laughed. Right now, you couldn't see her baby bump. But in about a month or two, she would probably need to buy a new wardrobe.

That's when Elijah called out for Melanie.

"Well, I hope you all are enjoying yourselves at the party. It was nice meeting you." She said, walking away and going over to Elijah.

After a few hours of being at the party, Jaycee, Michael, and I decided to leave. I had never been so afraid of my life.

I was afraid at what would happen since I disobeyed Chris and hung up on him. I was afraid of what Jaycee would do, and what Michael would do. I didn't even want to go home.

At the house

Once I parked my car, I grabbed my keys and slowly walked up to the front door. Chris' car was in the driveway, so I knew that he was home. I slowly unlocked the door. Once I walked inside, I couldn't believe what I saw.
