Starting New - Xxxtentacion

Chapter 78 - One Minute

The first day of Rolling Loud is over. Thank god. I'm in an Uber with Isaiah, Gabe, and Coolie. We are just pulling up to the hotel. Gabe told us that Jahseh, Stokeley, Craig, and Trunks are in an Uber behind us. And the rest of the guys should be coming soon as well. I stepped out of the car and silently followed the guys into the hotel as they talked about some random shit.

"Hold up. I wanna wait for them" Gabe told us as he stopped walking and pulled out his phone. I sighed as we all just stopped in the middle of the lobby.

"Shit there's a fight going on out there!" Coolie said loudly making me look up. I looked behind me and saw a few guys all punching each other and some people trying to help.

"Bruh that's fucking Jah!" Isaiah said and before I knew it, all three of the boys ran as fast as they can outside. So I ran out to, but when I get out there, the guys ran off and everyone was asking if Jahseh was okay. I hope he's okay. What the hell just happened?

"Fuck ass niggas bruh!" Jahseh yelled. I looked at him to see his face bleeding a little.

"We getting inside man. Come on" Tank said and everyone started to walk inside. Jahseh kept mumbling things and cursing loudly. We all got into the elevator and I have no clue how we all fit. Everyone was asking Jah what happened. He got ran up on by two guys. They started to beat him out of nowhere. We all stepped out of the elevator. Tank, Stokeley, and I followed Jahseh right to our room.

"This is so fucked up" Stokeley said. Jahseh didn't say anything as he walked into the bathroom.

"You wanna help him clean up? I know you the only one that can calm him down" Tank asked me. I nodded agreeing to help. Jahseh and I are pretty mad at each other right now so I'm not so sure how this will go. I walked to the bathroom to see Jahseh splashing water in his face as I stood in the doorway.

"Bitch ass fucking niggas man" Jahseh was mumbled. He stood up straight and looked at me from the mirror.

"Let me help you" I said stepping into the room.

"I don't need help" he said as he glanced over at me then back at himself through the window.

"Sit down" I quietly told him as I grabbed a rag. He sighed as he sat down on the closed toilet seat. I wet the rag a little then faced him.

"I thought you were mad at me" Jahseh questioned.

"I am" I stated as I started to clean him up. "But that don't mean I don't care about you" I cleaned the blood off of his face then examined the cuts. Bruises are already forming. He got blindsided or else those niggas wouldn't have done this much damaged. My baby is tough. Even though I want to punch him right now.

"Please can we talk about those text?" He asked me looking up at me. I shook my head and went to step back, but he stood up and put his hands on my waist. "Anastasia please" he begged quietly. I shook my head.

"No. No-" I pushed his hands away from me and went to walk away. He grabbed my waist again. "Jahseh stop! I-" he cut me off.

"One fucking minute! One minute. Please that's all I'm asking" He said loudly. I sighed and looked away.

"Okay" He moved one hand and shut the bathroom door before putting the hand back on my waist.

"I haven't talked to or seen that girl in about a little over a year. Right before I met you. She loves here in LA and I guess she saw that I'm here for Rolling Loud" he explained to me. "Here look" he said before reaching into his pocket and grabbing his phone. I watched him unlock it and go to his text messages. He handed me his phone.

______
Me: when is the last time we talked?
Me: or seen each other

Taylor: way too long!

Me: no how long has it really been

Taylor: probably over a year

"See" Jahseh said as he took his phone and put it on the counter. I sighed in relief and covered my face with my hands.

"Jah I'm so sorry. Oh my god. I should have let you explain" I told him and moved my hands to look at him. He grabbed my hands holding them in his.

"You think" he joked causing a little smirk to form on his face again.

"I'm sorry if I ruined day one for you" I said frowning. He shook his head.

"You didn't" he told me. "It just hurt knowing you think I could do that to you"

"I know I know. It's just when you see a text like that. It just seems-" he cut me off.

"I know" he let go of my hands and pulled me close to him wrapped his arms around me. "I never want to hurt you" He said quietly and leaned his head against mine. I heard a knock on the door, but I didn't move. "It's open" Jahseh said as he picked up his head.

"Damn. Y'all always make up fast as fuck" I heard Stokeley say. We all laughed and I pulled away from Jahseh. I nodded agreeing. "Anyway, we ordering food" he told us then walked away. Jahseh looked back down at me.

"You can't keep walking away when you're mad at me, Stas" he told me as he moved some of my hair behind my ear. "Even if you are so mad at me that you don't even want to look at me, just listen to what I have to say. It's the fair thing to do. Just the decency"

"I know, Jah" I said with a sigh. "I just can't help it. I get so mad and I- I don't know" I said back and he nodded.

"I fucking love you to death and what happened today makes me feel like you don't realize how much I love and care for you" He told me.

"It's not that-" he cut me off.

"I know, text messages were shown, whatever" he started and I sighed. "But you gotta trust me. If there's no trust then what is there?" He asked as he let go of me.

"I do trust you" I told him. He kissed my forehead then walked passed me and out of the bathroom. I groaned quietly. I feel like we're gonna have issues now.
