Chapter 25: School of Hardknocks Pt 2

Hours later

I woke up with the meanest headache. "Hey sweetie" Erica said handing me a bottled water. I opened my eyes completely and Morgan and Erica were looking at me. I began panicking a little "Hey Josie are you okay? She asked. "Yeah, I'm okay" she said saddened. Erica looked over at Morgan "Can you give us a minute babe? She asked. Morgan got up closing her door. "How are you? I'm so sorry" Erica said.

"I'm, I don't know... just worried- umm you didn't tell Ricky did you? I asked. "Please don't tell me you did; he would tear my house up I can't that can't happen" she said searching for her phone. "Calm down, I didn't tell him, but don't you think he should know? She asked. "No" she shook her head. "Please please please don't tell him" she shook her head. Erica was concerned Josie was out of it. She sighed "Okay I won't" she said

"So what happened? Erica asked. Josie sighed "We went on a date and everything was fine... then after we both thought it was a good idea to smoke some weed because life has been stressful for us. I noticed there were two separate blunts but I didn't think too much of it and then all of a sudden everything went by slow my body felt sedated" I said beginning to cry. "I could barely move I was trying to fight him off and then he punched me in the face and pulled down my panties and started to uhh... eat me out" she said disgusted. Thinking about it made her want to throw up. Erica's eyes watered hearing the agony in her best friend's voice. "I don't know how I had the strength, I reached in my purse and pulled out my mini gun and aimed it at him....... he got off me and I ran out of his car and he pulled off" I explained can't even believing it myself.

"I just feel so stupid,so disrespected and violated. Its like sometimes I question GOD.Havent I been through enough? How many times am I gonna get tested? Here I am trying to date around because my feelings are hurt and then this happens. This isn't even the first time a man has tried to take advantage of me and I was too dumb-

"Hey don't beat yourself up, you had strength to get out of that situation for the second time you're a trooper babe. A lot of women aren't that lucky. It wasn't you're fault, it was that bastards fault" she said. She sighed closing her eyes. "Thankyou, does she know? I asked

"I told her you were assaulted but she doesn't know the depth of it. I let you sleep it off at my house for a while, Zel was angry as hell and was ready to find that nigga himself, once it weared off you had a mini panic attack coming in your home and Morgan heard it so-

Josie sighed "I just need to shower; I just feel so dirty" she cried running in the bathroom. It was killing Erica to keep her mouth shut she knows the man would've been dead before she finished the sentence had she told Ricky but she understands they're not talking. Her father was back home and it was only a matter of time before he finds out and she was worried about this situation stressing him.

I woke up to see Kasey in the bed but his back facing me. Confused I thought he would be in New York for at least another day. She desperately wanted to wake him up and apologize but the way he stormed out the other day she knew he was over her. She then thought about Mr. Craig and how he told her about herself in loving way and consoled her. She didn't think he cared like that it's usually just a hi and bye situation with them but looking back she made it that way subconsciously.She moved a little hoping it would wake him up. He turned around facing her. They softly looked into each others eyes. "Hey" she said

"Hey slim" he said. She blushed she secretly loved when he called her that reminded her of when he was trying to get her attention years back. "I'm so sorry about how I've been acting, I've been acting like a brat and all you want to do is lead and I'm not even comfortable with it completely because im so used to dysfunction. I know I'm a lot to handle- she got teary eyed. Kasey didn't say anything he wiped the tear from her. "Shh" he said
