Love I Thought You Had My Back

Chapter 7: Reunited but It doesn't feel so good

UNKNOWN

HELP! HELP! Somebody please! It was dark, I couldn't see, I wanted out. One minute I was in my room and the next minute I was waking up on a cold floor with aching legs. I couldn't see a thing and it was pure silence minus my heavy breathing. All I could do was cry, I wanted to go home I hadn't done anything to anybody, Right now I was helpless and I wondered if anybody would find me or even notice I was missing.

Leila

On the road doin' shows all alone
In another n*gga's city livin' wrong
Pray to God I can make it back home
Even If I don't, it won't be long

Rod Waves "Sky Priority" blasted through my bluetooth speaker. I was ready for a night to relax and escape for just a few hours and just let loose. Letting loose of course would start  with this fat blunt I had lit. I never realized I was so dependent on weed until I couldn't simply relax without rollin up. After a few minutes of taking a few hits I put the blunt out and made my way to the bathroom to start getting ready. Turning the shower on hot and letting the steam fill the bathroom was just what I needed. Hopping in the shower, I took this moment to just let everything clear my mind. This was my time to cleanse, to heal. Taking a shower was my happy place. While inside I did my hygiene and made sure to  hit every crevice on my body with the razor. It almost felt like I hadn't been out in ages and tonight I wasn't half stepping. After being in the shower longer than I expected I went straight to my vanity to try and put some sort of face on. I was not a makeup artist but I knew how to make myself look a little decent. Messing up my strip lashes after 3 trys, I was now annoyed and ready to not go anywhere but I continued at it. I was pleased at my final look and topped it off with FENTY beauty's Stunna lip paint. This red lip always made me feel like "THEE ONE". Before I could touch my hair my phone began to ring, I looked to see that it was Harmony. She was probably calling to see if I could be there tonight, so I made a mental note that I would call her when I was headed to the party that way I could finish in a decent amount of time. I spent the next 30 minutes defining my curls and making sure this hair was on point. I knew everyone would be dressed to the T tonight. I hurried and put my dress on and ordered a luxury uber. It was already embarrassing at the fact that I was without a car so the least I could do was show up in style. The uber arrived in less than 10 minutes and I made sure to grab my clutch with everything I needed, I set the alarm and I was out for the night. Part of me was excited and the other part of me prayed that anxiety would not kick in and that I would instantly feel insecure being around so many people. Pulling out my phone,I attempted to call Harmony back but she didn't answer, She was probably already at the party so I just sent her a text to let her know I was on the way.

Damien

Cameras were flashing everywhere, I couldn't get out of taking pictures for nothing. Omar was eating this little bit of exposure up, every time a camera even looked like it was pointing his way he was already cheesing with his red solo cup in hand. It felt great to be out, I just hoped that the good times continued to roll as the night continued on. Leaving Omar to mix and mingle I made my way through the rooms dapping and hugging any familiar faces I came across. "Well well well, if it isn't Mr. Damien Floyd himself" I wanted to roll my eyes so hard but I played it cool. "Wassup Camille you straight" I kept it short, Camille was another one of those chicks from UCLA who couldn't take no for an answer. She cheered with Simone and I occasionally would hit from time to time but it was nothing more and nothing less and If I could put her and Simone in the same category I would but Simone was the mother of my baby girl so I couldn't . Camille began to ramble on and I honestly was uninterested, I cut her short and walked out to the deck where most people were high on cloud nine or either just enjoying fresh air. As I walked out my shoulders hit with someone "Excuse me ma" Our eyes instantly met, she was beautiful which I already knew but tonight she was breathtaking. Looking at me awkwardly Leila questioned me asking was I good. I was stuck but I couldn't let this opportunity get away from me. I said her name to assure this was her which I knew but the look on her face said that she did not remember much from our encounter. "Do I know you?" she replied. Well...I am your mystery man I chuckled trying to deter away from the awkwardness that was taking place. I took you home from Queen of Diamonds the other night remember? The expression on her face changed instantly and it was simply thank you so much for that. We were now just standing in the door frame in silence, I felt like I had so much to say but truthfully she made me this way and I didnt know why. Cutting things short, Leila said that she had to go find a friend and that it was good to finally put a face with that note and she kept it moving. I was now mad at myself for not saying more but I was determined to not let this be our last encounter. Omar approached me and was now probably 4 cups in, his breath wreaked of straight alcohol as he put his arm around my neck. "I love you bra, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, and I love Milani too dawg" I knew it was the drinks talking , I just told him I loved him as well and kept it moving. The music continued to blast as the party grew in size. Apparently Camille was helping host because she was now on the microphone helping announce who was best dressed, who had won the most liked instagram picture and so forth. These people were so into themselves and it was so entertaining. When the winners were announced you would have thought they won a grammy by how dramatic the reactions were. I couldn't do anything but laugh. Feeling a sudden urge to pee I followed the signs which led to Im sure 1 of many bathrooms, Opening the door I  instantly backed out as some dude was receiving head in the middle of the party. Rushing to the nearest restroom I could find in hopes that it would be empty, I handled my business so I could continue the night. While washing my hands I heard a slight rattle on the door knob, Turning to unlock the door and open it to whoever was on the other side, the door swung open almost catching me off guard. It was Leila rushing to the toilet and she was now throwing up with her head practically inside the toilet. I quickly went to her side and held her hair back, this girl had it pretty rough from the looks of it. When she was done she asked for napkins and sat up. Breaking the silence and making sure she was good I questioned " Are you okay?" "No...I think Im pregnant"
