Part 14 "Can't lie I'm hooked""I"m the adult here." he blurted out. "Really dad? if that's the case, you wouldn't have acted like a child a few hours ago!" "Hope I'm going to headout let me know how it goes." Hersh grabbed his things quickly rushing to get out of our feud. "It's too much going on out there where are you going?" "Mom is out there! I don't see the concern there dad! she's not coming back, what you do this time huh? it's always you!" A huge hand went right across my face. My dad really just slapped me. "Last time I check your record you're not so perfect either Hope." "Wow dad that's really how you feel? I have that assault charge because I was defending someone I love. My best friend! But you don't know anything about love. Instead you're a complete embarrassment to this family and just driven away the only two people that loved you besides Austin! such a bitch move." I grabbed an already packed bag and headed for my car. I figured I'd wait for Chris there but minutes turned to hours. Still no show. I glanced at my phone, no missed calls nor a text. Did he really just set me up? I was a fool and Tash was right I moved too fast wow? I threw my head back into the seat. wow I thought. There was no way I was going back into that house. I jumped at the sound of a horn blowing away at my house. It was Tash "Bitch you fineeeeeeeeeeee! where are you going? why are you sitting in the car?" "Tell them they can stop blowing now." I replied a little more frustrated than before. "Yeah we were waiting on you to open the door but here you are!" "who is that anyway?" "Mrs Marocco. she gave me a lift from work. where you headed?" "Nowhere." I responded. "Supposedly a date." "With who Chris?" "Yeah as you can see he's a no show." "Aww baby." she opened the door and hugged me tightly. " I'm so sorry this happened." "It's ok I responded. "You were right. I was falling to fast but I'm heading hershe for a couple of days." "What harold do this time?" I laughed at Tash accuracy "Even you know he's always the problem.. always the problem." "let me pack a bag I'm going with you."
"who's there?" Hersh screamed from the other side of the door. "Come on Hersh it's cold!" " My heart is cold." Hersh responded. "Seriously can you open the door?" " No! but I sure know how to keep one closed." "he's annoying!" Tash blurted. We both listened as he unlocked the hatch on the door and then twisted the knob. "I'm not an 'he' it's 'her' or 'she'...Hershe darling!" Whatever Just tell us your real name!" Tash responded dragging her duffle bag in. "So Hope baby how was the date tell me I'm all ears." I made my way to his couch and took a seat. "He didn't show. No calls or nothing. All this for nothing!" "That son of a bitch! he had one job! he got you where he wanted you and treated you how he wanted to! That bitch!" " Hersh it's really ok. I'll just focus on school no more boys." Tash was steady strolling down her newsfeed surprisingly she didn't have an input. "what if something happened you know?" "That's not the case." Tash responded.She turned her phone around and there it was. A picture of Chris and Briana his hands wrapped around her waist, her mouth wide open showing all 32. looks to be having the time of her life. "looks like him and briana had date night! And his caption." she cleared her throat. "And I quote: "no other place I rather be, can't lie I'm hooked" "Weak caption." Hersh grumbled out. "Yeah he hooked alright with her fish looking ass!" hersh added. He was more angry than I was. 'Why did he even attempt to waste my team.' I thought. "Then to add on." said tash. "Tash shut up you love spreading bad news." hersh blurted once again. "I was only saying briana posted a party flyer! Most likely you're going if you're promoting right? meaning Chris is going to be there. I say let's go!" tash yelled "It's not a bad idea." said hersh. Surprisingly they both agreed on something. "I have a nice bodycon dress to fit that banging body of yours. add a lil color to the hair and beat your face darling. Drinks on my man. let's make him miss what he could have had! besides no one will see your curves untils then!" after thinking I needed a good outing. With all my problems I should definitely clear my head and enjoy myself. "let's do it." I agreed. " Yes yes yes." Hersh jumped up and down over excited." I love a good comeback! he's not going to expect you there! simply because you rarely go out." hersh walked back to his room appeared with a gown "let's get our rest big Day tomorrow."
