Where Are You Now?

Chapter 25

I locked my phone and looked around. I saw Edwin, Austin and Faiza standing around awkwardly. I glared at them and walked over.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked crossing my arms.

They rumbled "I don't know" awkwardly and I rolled my eyes.

"Pussies. They're in the bathroom," Faiza groaned and I smirked at her.

"We're gonna get along just fine," I laughed.

"Anyone want to explain who is Unknown?" She asked.

"Girl it's a story. Rose will fill you in because I'm going on my honeymoon tonight I DONT CARE!" I spat and they laughed at me.

We went to the bathroom and saw everyone standing in a circle. Zion sighed at me and reached towards me. I wrapped an arm around him as he hugged me tightly. Rose had her hair in a braid and most of her makeup was gone. Nick was in a tank top and he looked scratched up. So did Brandon, Edwin and Elom.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked.

"Long story short Rose went outside, Nick followed, they kissed, Halie saw, some of Andrews goons were walking by and started taunting the girls. Nick fought two of them while Halie got help and Rose got harassed. And they said they were coming after Nick and Rose. So now he's obviously messing with Brandon and I by threatening for Nick and Rose to be a public thing or you come out with your condition to the public. And here we are back at square 1," Zion explained.

I stared at him for a moment and I bursted out laughing. Everyone looked at me weirdly as I wiped my tears off my face.

"How the fuck was that funny?" Nick asked raising an eyebrow.

"Of course. Just of course. It's always some shit. Guys.. we'll take care of it. Lighten up. For me. I'm the one that has fucking cancer. We will handle this later. Come on I want all of us on the dance floor for the last slow dance and then I have something to say," I sighed and everyone nodded.

I sat with Faiza, Justin and Rose as the other boys were huddled joking around. Everyone was doing a good job to act as if nothing happened. But I know Rose was hurting. Faiza and I exchanged glances as Rose continued to stare sadly at Nick. Even Justin looked like he was in his feelings.

"Justin you good?" I asked and everyone looked at him.

"I kissed someone tonight and I don't know how to feel about it," he replied.

"What! Oh my god who? Me and Zio got a lot of cousins was it her?" I asked pointing at my cousin Emily.

"No.. no. It wasn't family. And it wasn't.. never mind. Its not important. Rose you good?" He asked changing the subject. We exchanged looks but decided to let it go.

"I don't know," she sighed.

"Baby girl what do you want?" I asked turning to her.

Rose looked at me and sighed. "I want him. But I feel wrong in doing so. I shouldn't want him. That's Brandon's friend. I.. I can't. But.. I love him. I really love him. The messed up shit is.. Brandon. He's.. everything."
