I watched as he kissed her back.

What the fuck? Wasn't he just- nevermind.

I quickly turned around and walked away before he even opened his eyes from their kiss. I spotted Zena at the table painting a little girls face and I quickly ran over to her.

"See, look how pretty that looks." Zena said to her holding up the mirror.

"Zee," I grabbed her attention. "I can't be here, I need to go."

She stood up. "Are you okay? What happened?"

I bit my bottom lip, everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. I was having a panic attack.

"I gotta go," I shook my head.

I quickly ran off going towards the restrooms and going inside. I pushed the stall door open, and threw up everything that I had eaten today.

The door opened behind me and someone came to my side, pulling my hair back.

"Nana, what happened?" Zena rubbed my back.

I picked my head up and grabbed some tissue to wipe my mouth.

I was so embarrassed.

"He played me, Zena." I looked up at her.

"What? What did he do?" She asked.

"He has a girlfriend." I said. "I - he kissed her back."

She shook her head. "Oh hell no," she stood up. "Let's go, right now."

I grabbed her arm. "Zee, no. Let's just leave."

I know how she is. She was going to go on a rampage and I didn't want to embarrass her or myself more already than what I was.

"Are you sure?" I nodded my head.

"Yeah, let's just go." I told her.

She nodded and helped me up. I washed my mouth out in the sink and she wiped my face off with a wet paper towel.

We opened the door to step out of the bathroom when I noticed Malachi's assistant Pea, walking in.

"Hey y'all." She smiled.

"Hey Pea." I gave her a weak smile.

Zena stood behind me.

"You okay? You look sick?" She asked looking over at me.

"Yeah, I don't feel to well. I'm going to go home." I told her.

She frowned. "Aw, Okay. Thank you guys for coming. You know Mugga really appreciates it."
