THUG LOVE

Chapter 11

*PROM*
It was prom night and Imani and Jayden were getting ready. Imani got out the shower and yelled Jayden named. He was downstairs in the kitchen and yelled, "Yeah!?" She told him that she didn't want Brandon to be around her. He told her that he was just coming to take pictures.

She walked inside the closet and grabbed her dress that was hanging up. She laid it on the bed. They were going to look so cute, but Imani didn't want Brandon around her. She still hasn't forgiven him for what he did and she probably wasn't going to.  An hour later, Jayden was looking in the mirror feeling himself.

Imani was sitting at the dresser trying to curl her hair. The doorbell rung and Jayden went to answer it and open the door. He greeted Brandon his date named Diamond. They were wearing blue and gold. "Boy you looking clean." Jayden said, as he dapped Brandon up.

"You do too," Brandon said, and pulled away. Jayden looked at Diamond and said, "Hey Diamond, you look nice." She smiled and said, "Thank you. Where Moni?" He said, "She upstairs getting ready." Diamond asked if she could go up there, and he told her that he didn't care.

Diamond walked upstairs while Jayden and Brandon sat on the couch and wait for them. Jayden said, "So she's still mad at you. She doesn't want you to say anything to her." Brandon said, "I'm not. Have you told her about you leaving?" Jayden said, "No. I'll tell her when I think she ready."  Brandon nodded his head.

Imani was in the room crying while looking in the mirror. Diamond knocked on the door and said, "Imani?" Imani wiped her eyes and said, "Uhh, yeah? Come in." Diamond walked in and closed the door. She walked over to Imani and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Imani turned around and looked at her. She said, "I messed up on my makeup and I don't look pretty." Diamond said, "Hey it's okay. Come sit. I'm gone hook you up real quick." "Okay thank you," she said, and she sat in the chair in front of her. 

She said, "You look beautiful." Diamond said, "Thank you, and you do too." She started doing her makeup. Imani asked, "For real?" Diamond said, "Yeah the dress is really pretty."

Imani smiled and said, "Thank you. Jay wasn't gone let me get it at first, but I begged him." Diamond asked, "What grade you in?" She said, "I'm a sophomore." Diamond said, "That's probably why then. But you better tell him that you grown as fuck." Imani giggled and said, "Right."

A few minutes later Diamond told Imani to go look in the mirror. Imani stood up and closed her eyes while walking over the mirror. She stopped walking and opened her eyes and smiled big. She said, "Oh my God. Thank you." She hugged Diamond and asked her if she thinks that Jayden would like it.

Diamond said, "Of course, let's go." Imani grabbed her purse and walked out of the room with Diamond. Diamond walked downstairs and asked Jayden what did he think. Jayden turned around and dropped his jaw. Imani smiled while spinning around.

Brandon stared at Imani and Imani asked Jayden if he liked it. Jayden said, "Of course. You look beautiful." Imani hugged him and he hugged her back. Brandon put his head down and asked them if they were ready to go. Diamond said, "Yeah let's go so we won't be late." "Okay come on," Jayden said, as he grabbed Imani's hand.

When they arrived at the ballroom music was blasting. Everyone was either dancing, taking pictures, or talking. Imani was sitting at the table on her phone. Jayden was laughing and talking to his friends. Brandon walked up to Imani, and asked, "Imani can we talk?"

Imani stood up and said, "No." She was about to walk away, but Brandon asked, "Please hear me out?" She rolled her eyes and said, "What?" Jayden looked at them and Brandon said, "I'm sorry that I've got your father killed. I didn't know he was your dad." She said, "Even if you did know you wouldn't have cared because money always comes first, right? I'm mad because you took the only person that I have. I need my father because my mom is a junkie. I wish he was here to see how I look in person. Brandon, you took apart of me away when you killed my father."
