I woke up and brushed my teeth and changed out of my pajamas into my bra and underwear as I was about to take them off I heard the door open. It was Jahseh I screamed and he left. I felt bad, it's gonna be so awkward now. He probably feels really bad I'm gonna be a big person and tell him that it's not his fault and that I should've locked the door. I then got out of the shower putting on my red supreme hoodie and some black ripped jeans I then put on deodorant and sat on the couch across from Jahseh. I could tell he tried to avoid eye contact.
"Jahseh," I said.
"Hmm," he replied, unbothered. Staring at his phone not looking up.
"It's not your fault I should've locked the door and-" he cut me off.
"How did you get all those bruises?"
Um... My mom used to hit me. Stoke left and couldn't defend me anymore. She almost beat me to death before I left but I blacked out and came to driving to Tennesee covered in blood."
"I'm so so sorry," he said apologetically. He seemed like he actually cared, not like he was saying that to be nice.
He looked me up and down and squinted. Are you copying me? He said. I then realized we had on the same hoodie

"Um no... I just liked the hoodie didn't even realize you had the same one," I chuckled.
"Hmm sure," he said.
"Wheres Stoke?" I asked, looking around.
He replied with "No idea, probably in the studio"
"Oh. Wanna watch something? I asked.
The silence was awkward, I was always shy but for some reason I wasn't around him. It was like I'd known him for years.
"Sure" he replied.
He looked bored. Like he wanted to say something but he didn't have the courage to.
We put on the conjuring he complained about the movie while I laughed at him being more scared than I was. We both started to laugh until We heard the door open. And in came Stokeley.
Jahseh POV:
Right, when Stoke came home I left I couldn't stop thinking about Jaylani and her body and how I walked in on her. She seemed like she felt bad for me.Which was stupid, she was beautidul. I could read people and I could tell she was a super anxious and insecure person, but she had no reason to be.
My thoughts wandered, thinking about her. I felt bad about her mom. Why didn't Stokeley help her?
I had school the next day but I didn't care I would sleep all class and leave during lunch so basically, I only came for half a day. But I never got in trouble the teachers loved me and I never really got in trouble. I used to before I started taking my meds but I'm much calmer now. The teachers know I'm famous and rich so they don't disrespect me and they know I can do whatever I want. All the girls swooned over me but their boyfriends didn't care I know how to fight and they know not to mess with me. Because there are somethings those pills can't take care of.
Jaylani POV:
I couldn't sleep that night, all the memories from my past were swarming me. So I just laid there staring at the ceiling lost in myself.
After an hour of sitting in the dark I decided to call Mariah she called me 167 times since I left and I have 234 messages from her. I called her and she answered on the second ring.
"Hello?" She said frantically.
"Hey," I said, nonchalantly
"Oh thank god you're okay," she started to cry. "Where are you???"
I tooka deep breath
"I'm at Stokeley's house."
"WHAT?" she yelled.
"I ran away and I'm at Stokes's house, guess what." "WHAT?" she asked.
Stoke is ski mask the slump god and our neighbor/his best friend is XXXTentacion. "GIRLLLLLL" she said. She started to squeal. I updated her on everything and how life was going until I fell asleep.
