Good Things End

Chapter 6~

(Nyla's P.O.V)

"thank you for coming to get me" I said for the fifth time since I've been in the car "stop thanking me girl" Cecily, Lula's older sister said laughing as she drove me to Amirah's house. "those police officers are pervs, I know they noticed that you didn't have a top on but they didn't even try and help you cover yourself up" Lula said making a sour face. " I know yeah, you must have been freezing" Cecily spoke not keeping her eyes off of the road. To be honest I didn't feel a change in the temperature. I didn't even notice I was still missing a top, the only thing that was on my mind was hoping that my parents do not find out. We arrived at Amirah's house and she was sat outside with a cigarette in her mouth waiting for me. Where did she get that from? she doesn't even smoke. As soon as we made eye contact she dropped her cigarette and ran towards me with both arms open. Smiling a little bit I opened my arms accepting her hug. 

"bye girls, see yall on Monday!" Lula shouted. We waved and said our goodbyes and a minute later Lula and her sister were gone. "come on, let's go and eat some Ben and Jerry's until we pass out" Amirah said putting her arm around my shoulder and helping me walk. "i still can't believe you was in handcuffs tho" Amirah said laughing and i tried not to laugh with her but i ended up joining in. Just the thought of it is pretty crazy. I walked straight upstairs and got changed into my pajamas before getting under the covers whilst Amirah was downstairs getting our ice-creams. I got my phone out and checked the time and it read 3:05. wow, i can't believe how late it is, usually I would be in bed by 10. "i'm baaaack" Amirah sang giving me my tub of ice-cream then jumping into bed.

"i told you that when you are ready to go i'll be waiting for you in Rodney's room. " Amirah said eating her ice-cream "i was going to go and look for you but officer Juan stopped me" As soon as i mentioned officer Juan, Amirah rolled her eyes "that guy is a pervert" Amirah is now the second person that has said that today and the day only started 3hours ago. "I just want to put this all in the past" the one time i decide to be normal and go to a house party i get arrested, and i don't think i need to say this but im going to say it anyway; im never going to a house party again.

~Sunday~ 

"thank you everybody for coming, I hope you all enjoyed the service, God bless you all and i look forward to seeing your faces again next Sunday" My father spoke into the mic closing today's service. 'wow, that eight hours went by fast' I thought standing up and greeting people. "Nyla Grace, it's nice to see you feeling better, looks like our prayers work" Miss Amanda, one of the ladies in the choir said. I guess my mum told everyone about me being 'sick' "yeah i feel very good and very blessed" I answered smiling. "that's great to hear darling" she gave me one last smile before turning around and going to greet others.  

Church finishes at 5:00 and by 5:05 i'm ready to go home but because my parents are very talkative people we normally leave at around 5:30, sometimes later. So i take a little trip to the shops which is just down the road and i come back before my parent's even notice that I've left the building. Quickly, I walked out of the church before anybody could stop me to start a conversation and I made my way down to the shops. I'm not really in the mood for any food or sweets but i'm just walking to the shops for the purpose of getting some fresh air and stimulation in my body. 

After five minutes i had reached my destination. I walked into the familiar shop and rolled my eyes at the shop keeper who looked moody as always and was paying attention to his magazine that contained adult pictures. Will he ever change? I walked down the aisles looking for something to munch on later. I found myself in the frozen aisle and saw Ben and Jerry's. Smiling I thought of Amirah, we could eat those all day. I squinted my eyes looking for cookie dough, there was only one left and it shall be mine. I went on my tiptoes and stretched my arm as much as I possibly could and just when i almost had it an even longer arm came out of nowhere and took it. I spent 20 seconds trying to get that so I know the person saw my short self-struggling. 

"Maybe if you were an inch taller you could have had it" the person said chuckling. I looked up and instantly recognized his eyes from the other night. "hey your that nun" He smirked leaning against the fridge. "nun?" I asked confused. I think he has the wrong person "you are the preacher's daughter" he corrected himself. It sucks living in a small town, everybody knows each other. "the preacher's daughter has a name, it's Nyla" I told him crossing my arms slightly annoyed. I feel like with my father's statues and him being the only priest in the town I'm always being associated with him, when people think of me they also think of him and overtime my name has changed from 'Nyla' to 'the preacher's daughter' and it's so annoying. There is much more to me than just that title, then just my parents and my religion. 

But people assume that there isn't and when they call me 'the preachers daughter' I know that they have already made their judgment on me. "I like your name. I'm drake" yeah i knoooooow, everybody has been talking about you ever since you got released from jail. Now that's not what I said to him, obviously . "nice to mee you" I shyly smiled "you too" He probably didn't even mean it. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was nearly 5:30 so I'd really better be going. "well have to go now" I awkwardly said and without giving him the chance to say anything back I started walking back to the church. After a minute of silently walking I heard someone shouting my name. "Nyla, Nyla" Turning around I was surprised to see that the voice was coming from Drake. What does he want? 

I stopped walking allowing him to catch up with me. But with us being so close to the church i hope nobody see's and thinks something is going on, the last thing I need is rumors, especially if they are related to Drake. "here" he took out the Ben and Jerry's ice-cream from his bag that held other types of snacks. "aw thanks, but you really don't have to" I said denying the offer. "i know i want to" Smiling I took the ice-cream from his hand. "thank you" I said once again. He smiled back but then suddenly his smiled dropped and he just walked away without a bye. oh okay?
