Love Lies (Norminah)

Normani's POV

"Does Ally know?"

"Does Ally know what?"

About, 30 minutes ago. Dinah called me, invited me to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.

Wings are bae😍

She invited me, to talk to me about what had occurred 3 days ago. These past few days. I've stayed home. With Zion.

Speaking of Zion, before I came here with Dinah. He took me out to Forever 21 and Sephora.

I'm not sure what's going on...

Dinah's playbook, I might be the next victim
Then Zion taking me out, finally treating me like I should be treated...

The playbook...

Sitting in the middle of Dinah's and I's drinks

"Does Ally know about your little list?" I said sipping my lemonade

"Go to page 4" Dinah said as she scratched the back of her neck and looked down

I flipped through the notebook as I see page 4 written in Dinah's handwriting.

Ally Brooke...

"Ally too? What the hell is wrong with you Dinah? What was your point?"

"Baby-"

"No, don't call me that. You're sick, I can't stand to believe that we-you know what? I'm leaving" I said as I threw some cash on the table

"Mani!" Dinah grabbed my arm and sat me back down

"Di-"

"I know what I did was wrong. I understand that. But you should NEVER judge somebody by their mistakes from the past. I changed. I know it was bad. Ally forgave, Veronica forgave me, damn near every girl, forgave me. It was a mistake Normani. And it won't happen again. Go ahead and leave. I can't stand to sit here and be judged by someone I thought would sit and listen to me" she said with glaring eyes

"Dinah, I'm not sure how you think I feel about this. But I'm not so happy about this-"

"You think I'm happy? You think I'm happy at you calling me sick?"

"Dinah-"

"No, that's messed up-"

"Stop cutting me off"

"I'm sorry" Dinah said putting her hands back into her lap.

"Look, I'm not sure how Im going to explain this. So, if you were me. How would you handle this?"

"I'd need time of course to figure out if you're actually willing to NOT attempt to that crazy shit again. I'd need time. We'd have to start over. Let me gain my trust for you again..." she said as she trailed off

"In that case. There's your answer" I said as I grabbed my purse and left...

*********

"Bitch! You stood up and left her?! You let her pay all that food too?! I know you bought hella wings to bitch!" Lauren yelled at me

"No bitch!" I face palmed, "I threw like 20 dollars down. And yeah, you could say I left her" I shrugged

"So what are you gonna do?" She asked me as she leaved over to grab another slice of pizza off the coffee table.

"I asked Dinah before I left, what would you do if I did this to you. And she said 'I'd be sure to have some time to figure out if you're actually willing to not repeat your dumb ass actions again. As well as starting over, and gaining my trust back'. So I'm doing exactly what she'd do to me."

"You're a smart ass bitch you know that right?"

"Damn right" I winked

Lauren took a big bite of pizza, "-didn't sfe do thash wish one of her friensh?"

"Lauren please swallow your food. I can't understand your gibberish" I said as I continued to browse the tv

"Sorry", she said as she swallowed her pizza and continued, "didnt she do that to one of her friends?"

"What do you mean?"

"I remember back at school. I was talking to Professor Mon one day. And when I left the classroom. Some girl was crying down the hall-way. And on her backpack I think her name was Alex? I don't remember. I know it started with an A though" she shrugged and sipped her sprite

"Ally?"

"Yeah I think so, wasn't that a victim too?"

"Yeah. There best friends"

"Oh thanks Janky" she scratched her neck

"Yeah I know right. I was the last person in the notebook"

"How many females were in there?"

"Honestly" I shrugged, "about 27"

"Damn"

"You were right. Even when you were drunk"

"What?"

"That one night I called you? You were drunk and you told me 'you need to stop before you get hurt'. I didn't listen" I said as I bit my left over chicken wing

"Mani, baby girl. Don't say that. Dinah was just dumb as shit back in the day"

"I'm not sure it was just back in the day. We've been together for like 6 months. But one of the victims had been about a month before she moved back."

"Ohh, I see what you're saying" Lauren nodded.

"Yeah, can we like-not talk about this anymore?"

"Of course"

"Can we watch Orange is the new black?" I said

"Yes bitch!" Lauren said laying her head on my shoulder.
