Ultimate Sacrifice (Book 2)

Chapter 11: Squash The Beef!

~Moni

We go upstairs to find Destinee crying,  looking at a picture with her and Princeton in it. I'm sorry but I find this hilarious! She deserves it. I was in love with Roc and she took him away from me, strung him along, and went with Princeton. What the hell?!? This is going to be her recompense. Maybe if she apologizes genuinely, I'll squash this beef. It is kind of getting old how we always fight...

"I can't believe he cheated on me!" Her voice croaked.

"I can." I snorted. 

"Moni!" Sky warned. 

"Moni, why the fuck are you here if you're just going to tear me down more than I am already?!" Destinee spat. 

"Because I wanted to see you shed tears like I shed when you took Roc away from me!" I retorted.

"Oh my gosh Moni, you're acting so unreasonable right now! It's been a month! Get over it!" Alissa exclaimed. "We have!" 

"Yes, you have but I haven't." I rolled my eyes. 

"Moni, don't make me beat you like I did Prince." 

"I would love to see you try!" I got in her face. 

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sky boomed, causing me to back away from Destinee. "Everyone sit down!" 

Everyone did as they were told. I'm scared of Sky when she's angry. 

"I was already planning on doing this after school and now couldn't be a better time. You girls have been going at it for a month because of a boy! It's dumb, petty, and it needs to stop!" 

"Sky, she took---"

"Oh boohoo, she took your crush!" Sky spat, cutting me off. "He wanted to hang out with her more than he did you! So what?!" 

"Right!" Destinee agreed. 

"Shut up, Destinee!" Sky turned to her. "You were wrong for kissing Roc knowing damn well that Moni had a crush on him. That was just mean and it says a lot about your character." 

"Mhmm.." I smirked. 

"As for you Moni" Sky turned back over to me, "this whole thing is dumb. Destinee hangs out with us. She is our friend. She should be yours too! So what if Roc doesn't like you and so what is Destinee and him got together? He's missing out! You know that he's missing out and you need to get over that. Destinee needs support right now. We supported you when Roc was acting like a jerk to you and now your fellow woman needs support with the similar problem."

"Destinee scarred me! I can't support her. I find that to be karma!"

"Yes, it is karma." Sky agreed. 

"Hey!" Destinee cried. 

"But now that she's paid for what she did, you guys can squash whatever problem you have and live in peace."

"Amen!" Lucky and Alissa said. 

Sky is right. Destinee has paid for what she did and Roc has too. It's funny how things come back full circle. I think I will be friends with Destinee and Roc now. We will have to take baby steps but eventually one day, we'll get there. 

"Moni" Destinee called. I snapped my head over to her. "I'm sorry for everything. From that situation that day after we came back from the mall to kissing Roc and getting with him, knowing that you liked him. It was very petty of me and now that Prince did the same thing to me, I now know how you must've felt." 

"I forgive you." I smiled. "And I'm sorry for all of the insults that I've said to you and putting you down instead of bringing you up."

"Hug! Hug! Hug!" The girls chanted. Destinee and I smiled at each other and gave each other a big hug. Now everyone is united! 

"Des, you are better than that. You don't cry over any boy ESPECIALLY over that asshole. You gave him the best relationship that you can and if he doesn't like what you did for him then that's his loss, not yours!" I said.

"Moni's right, Des. If Prince doesn't want you and he left you for a girl, who's beauty can fade when she's 21, then forget him! He doesn't know what he's missing out on. He didn't need you so you don't need him. It's simple! He cheated on you so what you have to do is you make him see what he's missing", Lucky said.

"How?" Destinee asked. 

"First of all, honey, dry your eyes because he is NOT worth your time. Second, I gonna need you to burn this picture! Third, we are going shopping and getting makeovers." Sky grinned. 

"And one more thing, you did a good job beating Princeton!" Alissa laughed, giving her a high five.

"Thank you. Y'all are the best! So I'm gonna get dressed so we can go get makeovers!" Destinee squealed. 

~Prince

I'm really tired of this house. They're all on that little ho Destinee's side! Yeah, I called her a hoe because she is one. 

"You okay, Prince?" Jayln asked. 

"I got my ass beat and I might have a concussion! I'm not okay!" I exclaimed before feeling a sharp pain in my head. 

"Let's just get out of here. We can go to my house." Jayln said as she helped me get up. "I don't want them to come back down here and start more shit." 

We walked outside and go to her car. She drove off as I rested my head on the window. My scalp is in flames... A couple minutes later, we reached her house. She went to the passenger side and helped me out of the car. We go inside and she sets me on the couch before running up the stairs. She comes back down with a blunt in hand. 

"You're really gonna smoke now?" I raised an eyebrow. 

"You need to take the edge off." She replied as she lit it up. I scrunched up my face at the disgusting scent of marijuana. 

"You need to get high so here." She handed me the blunt.

"No Jay, I don't smoke." I pushed it away. 

"C'mon, just try it. Just one puff." She pleaded.

"Fine!" I groaned.

I put the blunt to my lips and puffed the smoke and I coughed. I guess I hit it too hard. 

"You okay?" Jay patted my back. 

"Yeah. That was awesome! I'm doing it again." I puffed it again and was having some weird images. "Oh yeah.."
