fuck.

A Wound That Never Heals

The party, I mean get together...Fuck it. It's a party. So the party was dope. A lot more people then usual. I am starving, straight into the kitchen I go. I walk into the kitchen to see Neviah cooking up some barbecue chicken and some rice.

I sneak up behind him and land a little kiss on his cheek. "Hey Viah bear can I get one?" I ask. "Of course jellybean, be my guest." I take a bite and it was like my tastebuds exploded. "Meu Deus (my god) Viah you have to teach me, this is heavenly!" he gasps "The Janniella Mendes is asking me to teach...her?!?!" I laugh and give him a little shove.

I try to sneak another piece but he caught me and smacks my hand. I jump and stuck tongue out at him. I turn to see what is going on at the table. Austin, Sammi, Aubrey, Zion, Diamond, and Haley are playing beer pong. I stand next to Austin to watch the game and he puts his arm around me "hey jellybean, come play with us!" He says handing me the ball. I push the ball away "I'm good Aussie, but thanks dear" he shrugs.

"You're scared I'll beat you Mendes" Sammi scoffs. She's been acting strange towards me lately. I haven't been getting the best looks from her. I don't understand what I did to her. "Jokes on you Sanchez, I don't drink." Everyone laughed while she scoffed. She seems awfully close to Z. It doesn't seem to bother him so I shook it off.

I go up to Zion and give him a hug. "Hello mama." He says while landing a peck on my lips. "Hey Kuwonu." He turns me around and wraps his arms around my shoulders. "No homework today jellybean?" He says as he throws the ball into the cup. "Nope I called Gil today and he somewhat helped me." 
He nodds his head.

I leave to go find something to do when I see a flash. "Parkerrrr!! I wasn't ready!" He giggles "well then get ready." I pose. Haley and Duane join. We take some of the best pictures. "We should really be models" I say staring at the pictures is awe. "I am a model" Haley says sarcastically. I give her a shove and we laugh continuing to take more pictures.

Zion goes live on Instagram and everyone is dancing. Mostly the guys, but of course Cati and Raquel show out with their dance moves. Most of it was good but their goofy asses do some goofy dances. All the dancing ends. Zion starts playing some samples on his laptop and starts free styling.

I sit down next to Duane. Me and Duane are very close. I told him everything about Jordan and about my past. Some of the things I tell Duane I didn't even tell Z. I sit next to him with a plate of food. I brought an extra fork, and put extra food on my plate in case he wanted any. "Food, babes?" I ask. He nods,  and takes the fork. We dig in.

When we finished eating, he laid his head on my shoulder, and we put some Katt Williams on Netflix to watch. 30 mins later we are laughing and crying. Z comes and sits next to us and starts watching it with us. He too started laughing and crying.

Everything was going good until my phone started ringing. It was an unknown number but I had a feeling I knew who it is. I nudge Zion and pointed at my phone. "I know this mothafucka is not calling you..." Zion scoffs. I put my finger over my lips signaling him to be quiet and answered the call. I put it on speaker just in case.

"Hello?"

??:Hello,is this Janniiella Mendes?

This was not Jordan.

"Yes, who is this?"

??:This is the Brockton Police. Do you have a second?

I almost choke on my own spit. "Why is the police calling you Janniiella?" Zion asks concerned. He always says my whole name when he's feeling some type of way. I shrug. I honestly don't know. I motion to him that I am going to take the call outside. What has happened in Brockton this time?
