It Takes Time

Yellow Pages pt. 2

- Do you know where she would go at this time of night?
- No, she would either be outside or in the living room.
Alex and Star were driving around for the past 2 hours, looking for Simone. Alex wanted to wait until the morning to find Simone, But Star Couldn't handle waiting no longer, so They was out in the nighttime looking for their sister. Alex was tired and hungry.
- Come on, Star. It's 3:13 in the morning. We've been out here since 1 sum. I'm hungry and tired, she complained as they stopped at an intersection.
- NO! I'M NOT GOING HOME UNTIL WE FIND SIMONE, Star yelled.
The two started to argue at the intersection. That's when a car swerve into their lane and BOOM! CRASH!
💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗
Alex woke up from her nightmare. She looked around to make sure she was still on the couch and not in a hospital bed. Thankfully, she was still on the couch. She checked her phone and she had 5 text messages from Star and 4 text messages from Derek. She opened up Star's first:
- Starletta🤪: ALEX?!
- Starletta🤪: WAKEE UP!!
- Starletta🤪: WE HAVE TO GO FIND MOMO!!
- Starletta🤪: ALEXANDRA?
- Starletta🤪: ALEX WAKE UP NOW!
She responded finally:
- Okay, Chill. Lemme Get dress and eat.
She then opened up Derek's text messages:
- Husband🥵: Goodmorning, you're probably still sleep but we'll be back in a few more hours.
- Husband🥵: Speak To my baby boy for me😂💗.
- Husband🥵: Are you up yet?
- Husband🥵: Call me when you get up❤️.
Alex had a smile on her face early in the morning. She couldn't stay mad at her man even if it kills her. She clicked on his name and he answered after 1 ring.
- Goodmorning sleepyhead, He Said.
- That's a nice way of saying Goodmorning, But goodmorning man bun, she replied.
- Okay Remember that when you want some, He Said With a smirk.
- Whatever. I have my vibrator, she said sticking her tongue out.
- But Anyways, What's Been Going On Since I've been gone?
- Well, me and Star Have To Go look for Simone cause she went missing last night & I have to go to the store cause we ran out of snacks.
- WHAT!? I Hope y'all find her, she's like a sister to both of us. And the snacks part, your cheeks look like they're getting big.
- Which cheeks, she said with a smirk.
- Them clappers, He Said licking his lips.
Alex was about to say something but was interrupted by Star's call.
- Babe, I gotta hang up. Star's calling.
- Okay, Call You when we get back.
- Okay, Love You.
- Love You Too.
She hung up from him and answered Star's call.
- GIRL! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? WE NEEDA FIND HER. . . NOW, she yelled through the phone.
- OKAY! CHILL! I'm coming.
After she hung up in the blonde's face, she cleaned up the house, did her morning routine, and threw on something comfortable: a black tank top, grey sweatpants and some Nike socks and slides. She grabbed her keys, phone, and wallet, turned off the lights and tv, locked the house door, and went to get Star. She blew the horn 5 times.
- Girl, don't be blowing no damn horn round here. We just getting up, Bruce yelled out the front door of Carlotta's house.
- Sorry Bruce And can you tell Star to get her ass out here.
- BLONDIE! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE, BOUJEE BABY WAITING ON YOU.
Star came out the house in her pajamas still and looked mad as hell. She opened the car door and slammed it.
- Girl, don't be slamming my damn car door.
- Bitch, just drive.
Before Alex pulled off, she turned her car off, looked at Star and said:
- Look here bitch. If you can't handle your attitude, then you can get your ass out and start walking to look for Simone your damn self. Cause remember, you called me to help you. I love Simone to death, but I can't be looking for her with her sister who's acting like a WHOLE BITCH. Now you know I'm pregnant and these hormones are making me like this.
- Okay, I'm sorry girl. I''m just worried about my baby sis.
- Can you handle your attitude now?
- Yes.
Alex buckled her seatbelt, started the car up, and she and the blonde were on their way.
💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗✨💗
5 hours later. . .
- Did y'all find her yet, Carlotta asked as the two girls walked into the salon exhausted.
- No. We looked everywhere. Hell, we even asked crackheads and they even said no, Star said.
The two were out mostly all day looking for Simone. They asked anybody in sight have they seen her, but they had no clue.
- It's been close to or past 24 hours since she's been missing, Cotton said.
- Yeah, we know. But, we can't find her anywhere. It's like she disappeared from Off Earth, Alex said.
The door of the shop opened. Everybody thought it was Simone, but it was Derek. The girls rolled their eyes and turned back to what they were doing.
- Why's everybody mad for? Y'all still haven't found Simone, he asked.
- No. We even asked crackheads, they ain't even seen her, Star replied.
- How long has she been missing, he asked as he went and hugged Alex.
- Since last night. We have no clue on where she is, she replied.
- I need to take a nap. I'll see y'all later, Star said as she headed upstairs to go to sleep.
- Well, we'll see y'all later, Alex told Carlotta and Cotton as she and Derek walked out the shop.
Once they got home, Alex fell right into a deep sleep. After 2 hours of sleeping, Alex finally got up and decided to head to Walmart to grab some snacks for her cravings. She threw on a large t-shirt with some grey sweatpants and some slides. She grabbed her wallet, phone and keys and headed out the door. After she texted Derek and told him that she was going out, she started up the car and headed to Walmart. Once she got there, she grabbed a buggy and headed down to the fruit aisle first because Dr. Woods told her to eat fruits and vegetables.
She placed strawberries, peaches, watermelon, and grapes in the buggy. Alex then headed to the snacks aisle and placed Oreos, Cosmic brownies, and little muffins in the buggy. She went through the self-checkout line and headed out the doors of Walmart. After she placed all the groceries in the car, she headed on home. Megan thee Stallion's "Cash Shit" came on the radio. She turned it up and started rapping:
- I CAN'T BE FUCKED WITH, NO! HOE YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS, AYE! BITCH I DO RICH SHIT, HUH! MY MONEY THICK THICK, AYE! WALK WITH A LIMP LIMP, HUH! I'M ON SOME PIMP SHIT, AYE! HE SAID YOU ALL ABOUT MONEY, YEAH! I'M ON THAT CASH SHIT, HUH! I'M IN MY BAG BITCH, HUH!
She then received a text from Cotton:
- CottonTail💕: Meet us at Homeland Hospital. They found Simone. Tell you rest when you get here.
When Alex read the words "Homeland Hospital" and "Simone", she quickly took a u-turn to the hospital. When she got there, she saw Cotton, Derek, Carlotta, and Bruce sitting down. She seen no sight of Star.
- Where's Star, she asked them.
- In the back with Simone, Bruce replied.
- Can somebody tell me what happened with Simmie?
- One of Mama's friends found Simone in an alley. She was beaten and raped, Cotton explained.
Hearing those words, Alex broke down into mega tears. Derek ran over to his girlfriend and picked her up and sat her down next to him.
- Why would someone do this to her, she said through tears.
- We don't know, but we're gonna find whoever did this, Carlotta told Alex as she rubbed her back.
- Can I go back there with Star, she asked.
- Yeah. Star said she don't want nobody else in there but you right now.
- what's the room number, she asked as she got up.
- 44D, Derek replied.
Alex walked to 44D and knocked on the door. She walked in and almost fainted. The condition that her little sister was in was horrible. Star looked up from her phone and when she saw her bestfriend in the doorway, the blonde got up and ran towards Alex and hugged her tightly.
- You can pull up that chair next to me, Star said and pointing at a chair on the opposite side of the bed.
After Alex placed the chair next to Star, she grabbed her bestfriend's hand and laid her head on her shoulder. They sat in silence for about a good 2 minutes until Alex broke the ice.
- How is she, she asked the blonde.
- Doc said she had a broken rib cage and severe bleeding from the vagina, she replied while trying to hold back tears.
- Why would someone do this to her?
- We don't know. I just wanna go find the bastard who did this to her myself. Fuck everybody else opinions.
- Star. . . We're all pissed about this situation right now. But, you got Simmie to worry about right now.
- Alex, I know that, but, it's not that easy. All we had was each other growing up, that's until we were split up.
- Star, just know that we're all here for Simone. I love you bestfriend.
- I love you too pregnant bitch, Star said as she hugged her bestfriend.
- You always know how to crack a joke in the worst situations.
The two exchanged laughter amongst each other. They talked and laughed for about a good 2 hours until a knock was heard on the door. Derek walked in after he knocked.
- Hey girlfriend, he said and smiled at Alex.
- Hey boyfriend, she replied with a smile.
- Ahem, I know your almost golden cooked ass see me sitting right here, Star interjected.
- Oh, hey white chick.
- Whatever, she replied and rolled her eyes.
- You ready to go, Alex, he asked.
- Yeah, I'm ready. Star you okay, she asked her bestfriend.
- Yeah I'm good. Ima sit here with Simone.
- Okay, goodnight, love you.
Alex blew a kiss at Star and Simone and Star blew one back. After a 10 minute ride from the hospital, they finally was back home. Alex unlocked the door and saw candles lit up on the tables. Roses and her favorite chocolate covered strawberries were sitting on the living room table.
- Um, babe, what is all this, she asked smiling.
Derek came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He started planting kisses on her weak spot.
- You've been stressed out lately. So, I wanted to take all the stress from off you, he replied.
She turned around to face him and kissed his plump lips. He picked her up and laid her down on the couch. He went from her neck to her little baby bump and down to her sweats.
- Can I, he asked while looking up.
Alex nodded her head yeah.

Sorry this chapter took so long to get out😂, but poor Simmie😩. Who would do something like that to her🥺? If you haven't start reading my continuation version of S4 "All Falls Down" go head and start reading it. Also, I won't be updating that much come August cause that's when I'll be preparing to start my freshman year in high school💞. PS: imma do like a 12-16 week time jump since Alex's pregnant and so her baby bump can already start showing.
