Walking on the wood bored floors. They squeak as I walk, with my black laces hanging off of my shoes.
I say to NoNo's cousin "everyone has a story and for so long this is where the story starts to go bad." I walk to my room as she follows behind me I ask her " I know you no my name but you never told me yours."
She replies " I told you before you already forgot."
"My bad I have a lot going on rite now." I say
While I walk around my bed to the dresser beside it, I stare at my trophies that don't mean shit. She says "Denise, thats my name."
I pick up one of my football trophies I start to smile. "This is my trophy from the season where I hurt my back and my boy sully's dad had to give me 10 Advil's for a little bit of the pain to go away. That game I scored 4 touchdowns and caught a interception. My mom and me got pizza and boneless bbq wings my favorite thing to eat back then."
She asks "you cool i know it's hard."
I hate getting sympathy. I look at her with anger in my eyes and tell her "yea I'm straight."
I start to pack my bags. I tell Denise "go Chill in the living room Ill be there in a minute . " I got a duffle bag full of clothes. I grab my Spiderman lunch box and a few other little things.
I lock the door and walk out the house. All the thoughts in my brain are fighting against my happiness. I reach in my bag and pull out a pill bottle. I take 1 Xanax bar.
When me and Denise sat down in the car she asked me " I thought you only smoked."
I say back to her " this shit ain't some weed or any drug can fix."
We pull up to the corner store down my street Denise walks in to buy a sprite. When she comes out and gets in the car I tell her " let's do some fun shit."
She said "like what you mean fun shit?"
I tell "let's go to the trampoline park I'll pay it's on me."
She says "ok", and drives on the freeway. I tell her "Ay lemme see the aux."
I look at my phone it says "Alesha 14 missed calls." She probably already knows about what happened.
I ignore her calls and block her number for right now cause I know she will someway make this about her.
I turn on the song "Ashton Martin Music." Denise starts singing, her voice was so beautiful she was like a mix of Beyoncé and Rihanna.
I blurt our what I was going to ask "why you ain't a singer or some like that why you still here."
She says "your not the only one with secrets."
I ask her carefully "what do you mean secrets. I don't have any secrets. And what secrets do you have."
Denise replied to me " your secrets is as much as you want you wanna let go and spazz out but you either just laugh or put drugs in your system to avoid your problems. On the outside you forced yourself to be a man but on the inside your just a little boy with no discipline or guidance. And don't worry about me when your ready I'll tell you."
We finally get to the trampoline park. Denise parks the car in the front row of parking spots. I look to the right of me and see a familiar looking car and hit has a familiar looking license plate to.
