Finding Her Happiness

CHAPTER SEVEN

I sat on the couch on facetime with Karruche.
"So Diamomd told me how your little 'bestfriend' claimed you and you ain even stick up for me!"Karruche shouted into the phone alerting my mom and she looked at me and mouthed,"what the hell?"To me.

"C-can you calm down it's not even that serious Ka-"
"Yes it is,your getting on my last nerve and its so frusturating Chris its so frusturating."She sniffled as she began crying and my face softened as I realised how much this was effecting her.

"I don't even care that you friends with her anymore Chris!It's just that you forget that im with you and than its all about Onika I dont want to lose you to her Chris!"She said.And my mom stood in the kitchen obviously ear hustling cus she been stirring that tea for a good ass two minutes.

"Karruche I would never cheat on you I love you too much for that."And it was quiet for a moment as I realised what I said.And my mom looked at me as if I was crazy.And I shook my head not regretting what I said I knew how I truly felt about Karruche I loved her.

"Y-you love me?"
"Yes."
"I I nees to go think for a minute."She said with a sigh and my heart sank.Did she not feel the same way?

"Okay talk to you later."

"Yeah bye."She said hanging up and I just stared at my blank screen in thought.
"Damn I felt that."Ms.Sandra,my mother said.
"I ain never like that girl anyway ."She said pursing her lips together as she sighed taking a seat by me.

"You wanna talk about it?"
She asked and I nodded my head.
"Its all cus this girl named Onika."I said.
"Oooo thats a pretty name,now why all this chaos over this one girl?"She asked.

I sighed and began describing the story to her from start to finish even how at the party Onika told me she needed a friend.And to me becoming her best friend.And how Diamond started problems with Onika.

"Well,one I would love to meet this Onika girl,two Chris you are dead ass wrong Karruche and Diamond are halfway right."She said nodding het head and I looked at her in confusion not understanding.
"What,how?"I asked.

"Well from Karruches point of view she just started this fight with this girl,which was wrong and she was embarrassed tham shes suspended and seeing all this stuff on Instagram about how you been parading around town with Onika calling her your bestfriend,that's like a huge smack in the face to her,and if Onika really looks how you described her with a big butt and chest,of course Karruche gonna feel self conscious and worried cus she doesn't have none of those,now..im not saying you have to stop being friends with Onika,you should have a sit down with Karruche and Onika to talk it out but if they still cant move past it than remain neutral to both of them but if you do happen to catch feelings for Onila do not cheat on Karruche,I repeat do not cheat on her Chris,just gently let her down,but if you feel as if you are gonna catch feelings to her break up with Karruche okay?"She asked.

I nodded.
"Okay but I dont think ill catch feelings for Onika."I said shaking my head.
"Well if she that pretty making Karruche feel jealous than hell yeah you gonna catch feelings."

"And why you wanna be her friend so bad you kinda sounding like a creep or a stalker."She said chuckling.
"I see the sadness in her eyes,and I want to fix it I want her to be happy,and even though she acts all tough on the outside on the inside she's slowly crashing down,and who knows when she's actuall gonna crash,and if shs ever does I will be that one person there for her."I spoke as I looked at her.

And she touched her heart.
"Oh my godness that was just so-."
"Ughhh please dont start."I groaned as I plopped back on the couch ignoring her.
"Aww Chrissy that is so nice of you."She cooed as she pinched my cheeks.
"Please stop."I said annoyed as I swatted her hand away.

"Alright fine but I still want to meet her,and what do you want for your birthday its next week your gonna be 18."She squealed.
"Either a gift card or sneakers."I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Alright than,but how is that clothes thing going?"She asked.

I smiled.
"Well uh I finally found the perfect brand name."I said as I went to my phone to show her sketch ideas.
"What's it called?"
."black pyramid."I said as I showed her designs on my phone.
"Wow Chris that looks amazing your gonna sell out stores."

"Thats the plan."
I said.
"Alright well im ready to take a nap,but your other mother will be here shortly."She said.
"Okay I got to go to Onika's house to work on this project anyways."

I said.

I knocked on Onikas front door.And knocked again.Than I rang the door bell and I waited.I realised the door was unlocked and I stepped in seeing the house was a mess.
And I became worried.

"Onika!"I shouted as I shut the door behind me.I went upstairs and she wasnt there.I wemt to the basement and before I reached the bottom step I could hear someone crying and mumbling.

Okay now I was ready to get the fuck outta here cus I done seen to many scary movies to know what was gonna happen next.
"Nika!"
"Go away."I heard her say in between her cries.And my face softened.

I walked furthure into the basement seeing her back against the wall and her knees to her chest as she cried to herself and I seen her shattered phone on the floor.

"Whats wrong?"I asked.
As I sat by her moving her hair out of her face.
"They killed him Chris they fuckin killed my father!"She shouted as she shook and my heart sank for her as I hugged her as she leaned her head against my chest as she cried soaking up my shirt as I rubbed her back im circules.

"They took him away from me he was all that I had left."She cried as I ran my hand through her hair soothinngly.
"Itll be okay,"I whispered.
"It won't,hes gone everyones gone and I have no one else Chris im done I hate this shit everyone I love dies or leaves!"She cried out as she sniffled and rubbed her face.

And it was quiet as I rocked her as she cried.A tear slipped from my eye.Not becuase her father died,but because she crashed and now she was broken.And I made it my descision to pick up and fix the broken pieces.

"You will still and always have me okay Nika?"I said and I felt her nod against my chest.
"J-just please dont leave."She whipered.
"I wont."
