Small City, Big Problems

Deceive Me

~Next day~
~Hospital ~
***Laria POV***
"I don't really care what you got to say so just stop talking." I snapped out. My grandmother really just  came in acting like she give a fuck. Knowing she don't care about nobody but herself. Luna looked at me sideways.
"Why didn't you tell me. We could've talked. This not cool lala you supposed to be our big sister." She shook her head. Sharee sat on the bed looking at me like a puppy. I feel so bad.
"I'm sorry. You right I should've never tried to do that to myself." I laid my head back.
"I'm just tired." I shook my head still in disbelief about everything that's going on.
"Laria. Why are you so stressed you don't tell me anything." My granny sat on the bed.
"What do you mean! I told you everything! And you told me that it all was a lie well I met a man last night. The same man that talked to Luna." I sat up getting hype. I just wanna flip this wig off her lying ass head.
"Calm down." Luna rubbed my back. I took a couple of breaths then stared her down.
"Why are you lying? What are you hiding?" I felt my eye twitching. I know I'm hella mad now.
"Lie? I don't lie! I told you everything! Who is this man?" She stood up.
"My dad." I titled my head to the side. I don't believe he's my father. But maybe this will get something out of her ass.
"His name is Lonell." Luna spoke up.
"He loves our moma!" She screamed.
"You broke them up! Why!" She yelled louder.
"Luna!" Sharee looked at her scared. She cried.
"Y'all are really gonna choose that bitch over your own granny! You have no proof! How do you even know she's your real auntie let along believe anything the bitch say!" Granny snapped.
"But you're a lair. I rather believe a stranger over a liar any day fuck on!" I yelled. A doctor came in.
"Is everything okay in here." She smiled. She know everything not okay so why would she bring her pale ass in here.
"You have a guest. Is it okay if he come in?" She smoled.
"Yes." My granny spoke before I could.
"Alright I'll send him in." She nodded and walked out. Three seconds later Thomas walked in.
"Tommy!" Sharee got up and ran over to him. He hugged her tight. He handed me some flowers.
"Laria." He sat down on the bed. Him and Luna didn't say one word to eachother. That's weird.
"Yeah I'm okay." I waved him off. He smiled and gave me a hug.
"How's school." He stared me in my eyes. I know what he really asking. He asking about my major and if I'm still with the plan.
"Its going good. I'm about to start to internship where I can be shadowing officers on duty." I nodded. He smiled hard.
"Good job." He looked over at Luna. She has her head in her phone.
"You know that phone does not make you disappear right?" He laughed.
"Thomas, I don't feel like going back and fourth with you today." She scrolled on her phone.
"Okay. I just came to see if lala was okay." He stood up.
"Have a nice day." He gave her a fake smile. What's really going on between them. If it was up to me they would've been back together but it's not. Luna got her head in the clouds, this is a good man with good intentions.
"Bye guys I'll be back later this week to discuss what we talked about a while ago lala." He waved and walked out.
"Why do you treat him like that?" My granny shook her head.
"It's none of your business. Why are you such a liar." She snapped and walked out.
"I don't know where that feisty attitude came from but I don't like it."
"Sharee here go get some candy." I gave Sharee a couple of quarters. I don't want  her to hear this conversation. I would hate for her to start hating granny. Especially because I haven't even figured everything out yet.
"You was closer to my momma or Lisha."
"What! I loved both of them! Equally." She laughed.
"That's another lie. You was closer to my moma.... so when did you start hating her." I folded my arms. She stared at me with no emotion.
"I never hated your mother she hated me!" She raised her eyebrow.
"How when you was the only family member she ever had around us." Shit don't make sense. That's not even like my ma. She was a sweet gentle person. Sometimes too sweet.
"Laria What are you digging for! You won't find shit!" She laughed.
"Okay." I shrugged.
"Now, I leave town tonight. I'll be back in a couple of weeks. Please get your shit together. I'm not your enemy." She got up and walked out. I laid my head back frustrated.Only way to figure this shit out is to talk to my auntie again. And I know exactly where to find her ass, up under Mr.Brent. I wonder if she really love him or is she with him to get close to me. How did they meet? That's another thing that's weird. The doctor came in.
"Everything seems to be up to date! Your health is where it's supposed to be and that cut on your wrist will heal up in less then a month! As long as you're wrapping it and applying the medicine we gave you."He smiled hard. I smiled back. Shit that's good I'm just ready to go home.
"On a serious note we don't take suicide attempts lightly. So if that wasn't just a accident like you said. I need you to tell me. So we can get you help." He sat on the edge of the bed glaring at me. He low key kind of sexy.
"You look way too young to be a doctor." I laughed.
"I'm not." He blushed.
"I'm a nurse ." He stood up.
"A nurse? A male nurse..." I bit my lip.
"Are you hitting on me right now?" He laughed.
"Unbelievable."
"Who me?" I blushed.
"Yeah...I uh. I usually don't do this at work but are you single?" He laughed.
"Yes....are you?"
"Yes I am. Would you like to go out, maybe on a date." He blushed. Luna and sharee walked in.
"Damn this your doctor lala. Lil Mexican freak!" She stuck her tongue out.
"Eww." Sharee covered her ears.
"Girl you really need to stop saying shit like that around her." I shook my head.
"Sorry." She sat down cracking up.
"Welp you are all ready to go, you can check out when your ready." He nodded and walked out.
"Girl I was so close to getting his number." I laughed.
"Ah foreal! Hold on." She grabbed Sharee hand and walked out. This bitch do the most. I shook my head. He came back in smiling hard ass hell.
"She said you needed me?" He grinned. His perfect teeth turned me on.
"I never got your name or number." I laughed.
"My name is Phillip how about you give me your number." He pulled out his phone.
"3147478975." I stood up. He looked at me up and down.
"Can you stop looking at my ass." I laughed. He closed his eyes and giggled.
"Call me." I whispered in his ear then walked out. I spotted Luna and sharee by the elevator.
"Thanks sis." I threw my arm around her
"Girl no problem he a fine lil jawn." She laughed.
"What you been up to you like the new apartment." We hopped off the elevator and headed to the front desk.
"Girl yes I love it! I stopped working at footlocker cause I be too damn tired trying to take care of my son ,cheerlead ,work and go to school Girl psshh." Luna rolled her eyes.
"Yeah that's way too much on you." We approached the front desk.
"My name is Laria L A R I A, I'm checking out." She nodded and we walked off.
"Why yal was so mad at granny." Sharee looked up at me.
"You will know when you older. But for now we still sorting stuff out. We don't know for sure what's going on." She looked at me confused.
"Okay, if you promise to tell me when I'm older." She smiled.
"Of course." Luna smiled and hopped in the passenger.
"No please drive." I gave her the puppy dog face .
"Okay okay." She got out and switched spots with me. I can't drive right now my wrist still kinda fucked up.
"Drop me off at Raniece house."
"Okay tomorrow your night to baby sit Sharee is what you telling me." She rolled her eyes.
"Shawty you the one that cut off Thomas and his whole family for no reason. They low key was our baby sitters." I shook my head.
"For no reason? Lala that old bitch was plotting! She came over that day I was tripping out ! She told Thomas everything and he wanna approach me like I'm a lil girl telling me all the bad decisions I made nigga I know! I don't need you to tell me that! That's why I can't deal with them no more." She snapped.
"Luna they trying to help you stupid!" I shook my head.
"No they trying to treat me like I'm some charity case." She yelled.
"Okay I get it Calm down. Where is my nephew anyway, it's been way too long since I saw him." I miss my pumpkin baby.
"He's with quan moma." She blurted out. I damn near slapped the spit from her mouth.
"What the fuck Luna!" I yelled. I can't believe she getting back involved with that fuck nigga after all the shit he put her through.
"We not in a relationship but we working toward it." She kept her eyes on the road.
"Why?"
"Because he make me happy. I love him." She stopped in front of Raniece house and unlocked the doors.
"He gone do you dirty again!"
"We can sit here and talk about eachother all day long but that won't change shit!" She looked at me.
"Okay Luna you clearly loosing yo damn marbles." I shook my head then gave Sharee a kiss on her forehead. Luna stared at me mugging, I rolled my eyes and got out. She is literally going crazy. I watched her drive off. I just hope she comes to her senses cause that nigga ain't for her. I rung the door bell. Niecey swung the door open.
"Where is my dad and Lisha." I stormed in.
"I don't know! Every where she go she got him strapped to her side! They go out of town a lot!" She sat down on the couch.
"You been looking so tired Pooh." I sat on the couch across from her.
"Dee called and told me what happened." We sat in silence for a second. I know I went off on her the last time we talked but she know how I am , i need time to cool off!
"She said Lil trinity ran up on her." She laughed.
"Girl yeah she tried. I held her back my granny came out and everything did she tell you that."I shook my head.
"Yess I told you she was a insecure ass bitch ! Dee said she just came up acting crazy accusing you." She got up and went into the kitchen. Wow Dee a lying ass bitch! I'll handle her a different time. She will be getting  approached on the shit! There ain't no use of putting neiecy in this. I just hate lairs! She kissed my neck that's why trinity went off.
"I need to get in contact with my aunt can I have your dad number?"
"Yeah." She went to grab her phone.
"His number is 3142691839." She came back in the living room.
"Thanks I appreciate it." I smiled and gave her a hug.
"You owe me. Yal bitches just up and left me I should be so mad at you right now." She rolled her eyes and walked off.
"Girl because too much was going on at once. A random ass man told me he was my daddy. You know how crazy that shit is." I followed her.
"Wait what?" She grabbed a bottle of patron out the cabinet.
"Girl so... apparently Luna and sharee daddy not mines." I sat there still shocked from everything he told me.
"Where is the proof? Girl he could be lien." She sat down and pour me up a shot.
"Why would he though." I threw the shot back then chased it with some cranberry juice.
"People are crazy!" She laughed and tossed her shot back.
"But you remember everything I told you. Shit almost make sense but it don't." I laid back frustrated. I just want to know the fucking truth!
"I still can't believe your auntie fucking my dad. Eww." She laughed as she poured me up.
"Neicey why you been drinking so much you never kept a bottle in the cabinet before." I raised my eyebrow. She laughed.
"I'm stressed, and I been hanging with some girls at school they drink a lot a lot. I guess being around them making me drink more." She shrugged and started filling up her shot glass.
"Just be careful. I don't wanna have to come up there and beat them hoes ass for influencing you to do the wrong shit." Now I feel like we need to have one of those Bestfriend talks. She's always there to guide me now I it's my turn to help.
"Ima about to get some sleep lala. Are you spending the night or?" She stood up. Neiecy always been stubborn ass hell! She hate to hear the right shit.
"I hope you heard me." I rolled my eyes and stood up in her face. She laughed.
"You can't tell me what to do." I can tell the liquor getting to her head already. I shook my head and headed for the door.
"Love you, remember what I said." I shut the door behind me. Niecey never been a hard drinker I hope this phase is over quicker than it started. I pulled out my phone and called Dee. She the only person I know that will come and get me in a heart beat besides my little sister. Luna at the house with vell and sharee, I really don't wanna have to make her come back out with the kiddos.
"Are you okay! I saw Luna post a pic about you being in the hospital. What the fuck happened when I left?" She answered quick ass hell. I been ignoring her calls. She is part of the reason I cut myself! She was the one who kissed my neck and made trinity go off! I'm fed up with Dee and her shit. I just wanna be friends and dassit.
"Can you come pick me up from the gas station by Raniece house." I stood there looking around.
"Yeah on the way!" She hung up. A big ass Red truck pulled up in the lot. Dammit! I know that car. Frank hopped out and then Red behind him. What the fuck is this?
"Damn who is that!" Frank yelled out.
"Back in the streets I see." I looked the other way. Frank came up to me invading my personal space.
"Get the fuck out my face!" I pushed him.
"Damn she feisty I like that shit! She got a big sister or some." Red bit his lip looking at me.
"That's weird! Don't look at me that way! You must not remember me! I'm niecey Bestfriend!" I rolled my eyes. Dee pulled up and hopped out the car.
"Red when you get out you stupid motherfucker." She ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"You look different girl!" He looked at her confused.
"This me." She shrugged.
"Damn!" He looked at her ass.
"Chill, You ready lala?" She turned to me laughing.
"Yeah I'm more then ready." I bumped frank. He grabbed my arm and yanked me closer to him. Oh fuck I think I'm getting wet.
"Stop Frank!" I yelled as he tightened his grip.
"Nope comer." He whispered in my ear. I closed my eyes thinking about the way he used to fuck me from the back and make me scream.
"No frank." I groaned .
"Aye cuh she like that shit." Red yelled out before he walked in the store.
"Uhh, ima leave y'all be. Might ass well get some rellos." Dee laughed . Since when she okay with me fucking with frank? I guess she just gassed up from seeing red ass. She better remember she was fucking his son. Dee acting different ass fuck! She most definitely need to get off that.
"Girl Stop." He yanked me so close our lips touched. He stuck his tongue down my throat and I sucked on it.
"You like that." He kissed my neck.
"Stop we in front of a store." He let me go and shrugged.
"I miss you." He grabbed my hands.
"No you don't. You miss this pussy." I grinned.
"That too." He licked his lips.
"I'm not fucking with you ever again frank! You did me worse then dirty. I already talk to somebody right now." I looked down.
"Who is he." He folded his arms.
"A Latino...." I licked my tongue out.
"Un....ight."He walked off and into the store. I stood there with the dick look. I wasn't expecting him to really just give up. That's why I could never fuck with him again, Frank not loyal and he don't give me the same energy I give him! I fought for him but he won't fight for me. I spotted Quan car pulling up in the lot. What the fuck is this a family reunion.
"Sisso." He got out smiling. I can't with this boy. He the fakest nigga walking. I rolled my eyes and put my attention on bo. He with that stripper bitch. This shit won't end cute I already know dee gone go off when she come out this store. The stripper bitch came up to me smiling.
