Who Can You Trust?

⚠♀♂⚠

Akoni plops down on the bed as soon as she walks in the house. Jasmine rushes to get ready. She doesn't feel like fussing with Cash tonight. She really didn't want to be around Akoni at the moment. She knew she was foolish but Akoni is starting to get allot more attention then she is now. She wasn't use to this. I mean Akoni is pretty but she has nothing on me. Jasmine's thoughts just kept getting the best of her.

She put her skimpy clothes on then her regular clothes on over them. Coming out the bathroom not even looking at Akoni.

"I'll be back later"

"Ok"

Akoni starts dinner making a big pot of spaghetti. She leaves it on the stove for the others. They don't mess with her as much as they use to. She still doesn't talk to any of them. But she leaves them alone and they leave her alone most of the time.

She walks back to her room showering before calling it a early night. Her phone beeps indicating she has a text message.

So you wasn't going to hit me up huh?

Who is this?

Dam you done forgot about a young nigga already? This Bradon ma

My bad allot of people don't have my number, so I'm guessing you got it from Jas?

It's a no if she going to get in trouble with you but it's a yes if you cool with it

Yes it's fine, just don't give my number to noone

Are you crazy? I want you to  myself. It's cuffing season babygirl

The rest of the night they text back and forth getting to know one another more. Akoni wasn't stupid she didn't tell any of her business, just the little things like what she liked, disliked that kind of thing.

When she wakes in the morning she sees Jasmine hasn't made it back home. She begins  panicking when Jasmine doesn't answer her phone. She throws on some sweats and a jacket with some UGGs. She races down stairs where Miss Sally is standing at the door. She looks at Akoni shaking her head.

"Let me guess you can't get in touch with the little hoe?"

Akoni doesn't speak she just looks at her.

"Go on with your mute ass. Go find her, and when you do tell her ass to bring me my money. Since she wants to pop her pussy at any nigga that comes her way"

Akoni doesn't let her words sink in. She just rushes to her car. She knows where Cash stays since Jas had her drop her off a few times before.

She bangs on the door until a shirt less Cash opens the door.

"What the fuck.... What's up Kona?

"My name is Akoni. Have you seen Jasmine?"

He looks Akoni up and down paying close attention to the tight jogging pants she has on. He thinks, I just know that ass is phat. I'll tear her ass up if she gave me the chance. He comes back to reality when Akoni starts snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"My bad, but naw I sent her to this hotel last night. Told her to leave before the sun came up and bring me my money. Hard headed ass hoe"

He hands her a piece of paper with the address on it.

Akoni shakes her head grabbing the paper out of his hand. Before she can turn around and leave Cash grabs her arm pulling her to him.

"When you going to let me get some of that pussy, you been playing all these years"

Akoni draws back smacking the shit out of him.

Cash smiles letting her go while blowing kisses at her.

She rolls her eyes before walking off. She could feel his eyes on her ass so she throws her middle finger up.

"I like them fiesty baby"

She jumps in the car driving to get to her destination.

When she gets there she asks the front desk man for a key. She flirts a little bit saying she left her key in the room. He tells her she can have the key if he gets her number. She gives him a fake smile with a fake number to match.

When she gets to the room she unlocks the door but there's no sign of Jasmine.

"Jasmine!"

She hears the tiniest knock coming from the bathroom. When she opens it she gasp at the sight in front of her. Jasmine is in the bathtub with blood all over her face and running down her legs. A needle is in her arm. While Jasmine looks dazed.

Akoni grabs her

"It's ok Jas, I'm going to get you help"

"No! Akoni they will take me away if I go to the hospital. Sally will give no fucks. Please"

Akoni has tears rolling down her face as she looks her best friend over. Everything clicks at this moment. Everyone around her was telling her what Jasmine was doing but she had blind sight. The late nights, smelling like sex, the large lumps of money, what Cash said, what Miss Sally said. Everything added up. She shakes her head coming out her trance. How could she get in this kind of mess!

She runs back to the front desk asking for a first aid kit. She comes back cleaning her face with rubbing alcohol there's no peroxide so she will just have to take the pain.

She runs her a warm bath. Undressing her then putting her in while she washes her. She takes the ridiculous wig off her head letting her natural curls fall.

"Stay in there until I get back. I'm going to get you some clothes"

Jasmine just looks straight ahead. So many thoughts, it's like she's seeing her life past by.

Akoni grabs her phone dailing Cash

"Where the fuck you at? You be thinking a nigga playing with you Jasmine"

"Shut up! I found Jas in this room bloody up with a needle in her arm. Who ever you set her up with fucking raped her and took her money. But that's all you care about right? The fucking money"

"Dam,I'm going to handle it sweetheart"

He hangs up on her

"Un fucking believable dam asshole"

Jasmine looks at the needle grabbing it off the ground before pushing it through her skin. It didn't hit at first but it finally kicked in. She loved the feeling it was giving her. She didn't care about anything at this moment. All the bad choices didn't matter anymore.

Akoni comes back with the clothes.

"Are you serious right now Jasmine? You just blew my fucking mind"

She grabs her out the bathtub drying her off. She puts the clothes on her then lays her down so she can sleep her high off. Akoni lays her head in her lap playing with her curls.

"Your a good sister, I love you no matter what"

Before she closes her eyes to fall asleep.

"I love you too Jas but you have to do better"
