Curves and All (On Hold)

Chapter 14

Tiana

"I had to do it Ti. I had to. If if if if  I didn't I don't e e even k know." I sit up in my bed as my stuttering sister cries over the phone. She still had my number and what was she calling me for?

"Alexis calm down. Explain to me now. Baby girl you have to explain to me what is going?"  I grab the remote turning down the TV and put my phone on speaker.

"Ti I did something I wasn't suppose to and I'm in trouble. I'm scared. They will come for me. They going to come for me. You the only person I could call. I shouldn't be talking here...I shouldn't have called you. I cant drag you into this what will I do? what will I do? I'm so dumb. So fucking dumb!" 

"Alexis what the hell is going on?"

"I need a ticket. I need a ticket to get to you so I can be be safe w w with you. I need to get to you."

"Okay okay slow down. Take a deep breath. I will get you down here by greyhound but you have to give me some details before I just spend my little bit of money." She starts breathing slowly. I hear cars going by in the back and a hint of club music.

"I'm running away cause I done did some dirty shit here and I need to get away before they find out. I need to run away. Something went wrong and now I'm about to me hunted down. I'm trying to get away from here as fast as possible Ti. I called you because ion got nobody else. You don't even got to buy my ticket but I need to know where you stay. I packed all my shit, I'm using this tracphone. I- ion even know bruh. I fucked up Ti. I swear on daddy grave I will tell you all the shit that happened these years but I cant tell till I get there. I ain't safe here." Slowly reeling in my thoughts I just kind of look at the phone. It was the good outweighing the bad.Picking up the phone I give Richard's address hoping I wont regret this. I a little scribbling and then she hurriedly thanks me getting off the phone. 

I dial Richard number instantly and start pacing the room.

"What up bae."

"Ohhhh Richard! Talking to his girl! Sprung like shit." I hear all the teammates cat calling and laughing. Any other moment I would laugh but this was eating away at me.

"Umm this is important, I hope I'm not on speaker phone."

"Naw you good? Whats wrong, I need to come back or something because-"

"Caste, tell your friend you gotta go. All calls will cease after 10 and as I can see it is 10:11pm. Time for us to get some sleep and I don't need you disturbing the rest of us with your lovey dovey shit. I'm sure she will understand and it cant be that important. If it is, she can get my number from the school directory. Goodnight Miss Smith." I don't think I have ever wanted to hop threw a phone and fuck someone up more than now. He got me all kinds of fucked up!

"Coach my girlfriend don't be calling me for no reason especially if she know it will-"

"How many suicides are you trying to give your teammates Caste?" I hear a few people whisper and Richard huff.

"None sir. I gotta go bae I love you." I can hear the strain in his voice and the anger.

"I'm sorry. Love you to. Call me when you can." Sending a kiss through the phone, I hang up and throw my phone at the wall. 

Who the hell is he to first off call me his little friend like nigga I been with him since freshman fucking year! Secondly, he did that shit because he don't want me talking to my man. Like she all of a sudden just gone be with him. I don't have the time nor patience for coach and his blondy daughter right now. Family issues come first.

But how can you help someone who isn't giving you all the details?

"Okayyyy team! Lets get this bake sale on a rollllll ladies and gents!" We all started clapping uncomfortably as Ms.Marein smiled that extra wrinkly smile of hers. I look at my clipboard checking of what was all done. For the past two weeks, events like this have been rammed down my throat because important people were coming to examine our for our spirit and shit like that. It was tiring with dealing with Alexis who still hasn't come, my grades which were teetering constantly and not being able to talk to bae a lot. I sighed as I went to station one which was homemade candles. I don't understand how candles or majority of these booths related to baking but I didn't object. I slowly walked past eyeing the candles with enclosed spiders and wild caught things. They called them 'prizes' when the candle melted. Weird like shit I swear.

My job is to stop in each booth, ask around about production, and basically just be there. I barely do anything here because I was overseer of everyone else's messes that seem to constantly pop up. Its hard to work with a busy mind and keep everything inside because bae is either busy or tired. 

"Tiana, some girl over there just asked for you." Some kid, Brian or Brandon I don't know, taps my shoulder and points to a secluded tree like area. The person had shades and was staring at me. I nod and walk over thinking its an emo kid not willing to participate for their grade. As I get closer, however, I see its a female who had on sweats, a hoodie, and some sunglasses.

"Yes. You asked for me."

"Ti, its me, Alexis." I gasp as she pulls down her glasses and I see someone I only faintly recognized because this couldn't be my sister. Two black eyes, a busted lip, scratches, and low eyes.
