Chapter Nine

Tremaine "Trey" Neverson

I closed the door and heard her sob, it was like her pain rubbed off on me. I sigh and went to my car, I had things to do. I went back to my house and sat on my couch.

"Jesus what is wrong with me?" I asked aloud.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of Hennessy. I took it straight to the head and let my thoughts consume me.

The next day.

I woke up to a massive headache and sigh. I took a aspirin and went to the bathroom to handle my business. I picked up my phone and called Sydney.

"Hello." She said.

"Do I have anything to do today?" I asked.

"Yes you have a meeting with the tour management to get rooms and travel destinations down." She said.

"When is it?" I asked.

"It's at 3 o'clock do I need to send a car?" She asked.

"Nah I got it um do Lola have anything to do today?" I asked.

"Trey I can't give that information out." She said.

"Please." I said.

"Nope bye." She hung up.

I sigh and got dressed. I went for something casual and simple. I have tour next week and I don't want to leave here knowing Lola hates me.

I checked the time and it read 1 o'clock, I went to my car and called Lola. Of course she didn't answer, I called again and she didn't answer.

Lola Davis

"Do you need to take that?" August ask.

I shook my head declining Trey's call for the fourth time. I smiled at August listening to him talk.

"I've been through a lot of things in my life." He said.

"Same here, I grew up no friends my parents were basically stolen from me." I said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"So my cousin Anessa parents passed away and mine took her in. Everything was good we was close then shit just changed and she became this horrible person and it was always her word over mine. When it came to my parents she was an angel in there eyes. I haven't really communicated with them in years. High school was hell Anessa took every friend I had and convinced me I wasn't cool enough or did look good to them. Every boy I liked she slept with, it was just a disaster." I said.

"Well you don't need her or your parents, look at you now successful and modeling." He said.

"You're right." I smiled.

"There's that beautiful smile." He smiled and touch my cheek.

Knock knock.

I got up and opened the door to see Trey.

"Hey you wasn't answering, so I dropped by." He said.
