Chapter 12.

Jayda

I guess I finally got some sleep from after all that tossing & turning I was doing yesterday night after having Khalil worried on my mind all night. I stared at the ceiling watching the fan spin around in Ryan's room, circulating the cool air around the room.

I looked at my phone to check the time, 9:46am and still nothing from Khalil. I let out a small irritated groan flopping my head back down on the pillow looking up again at the ceiling filling my head up with thoughts.

What the hell happened last night?

I hope he's okay God.

Maybe he just laying low...

If I text him or call, its gone go straight to voice mail again.

I should text Jace, since their so close but I can hear Dess mouth now.

This nigga better not be dead.

"Bitch, I know you ain't crying this damn early. You so sensitive & emotional now." Ryan's voice filled the silent room, causing Jayda to sniffle about a hundred times and wiping her tears. Instead of responding back to Ryan, Jayda just continued to stare at the ceiling. Jayda heard the sound of the phone password being typed in and dialing out to a number.

"Nah, we good. You straight?" Ryan talked to whoever she was on the phone with. "So, how everything went?"

"Damn... that's crazy." Ryan continued the conversation. "Yeah, I won't and Jace put him on the phone please."

Jayda head turned quicker than ever, she sat up on the bed waiting for Ryan to give her some type of sign that everything went good.
They both waited in silence for about 2 minutes before Ryan passed Jayda the phone. Jayda grabbed the phone listening to Khalil's voice fill her ears through the phone.
A smile appeared on her face as she exited the room into the guest bedroom.

It was the best thing to know that some shit went down and the one you love is alright. Jayda and Khalil shared a bliss but warm conversation about how things going to be until things start to ware down.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later." Jayda ended the conversation and going back into the room with Ryan tossing her phone back on the bed next to her. The sun started shining through the window and when the suns up I'm up, it's enough to get my day started. I grabbed some clothes to take a shower and my favorite skin care I use daily.

I sprayed my favorite Gucci perfume on me after getting out the shower. I put my shoes on waiting for Ryan to come out the bathroom so we could finally go to our hair appointment. "I hate being late." I mumbled.

"And I hate being woke out my sleep." Ryan replied unsurprisingly, because I didn't expect her to hear that. But, really I hate being late especially if it's on my time. "I'm sorry I was just...worried." I replied putting my natural hair into a messy bun.

"Now how was you worried, when I told you he was alright last-night?"

"I don't know, shit. Maybe I thought I was dreaming. Chile I don't know." I responded grabbing my car keys off the dresser.
"You do know. Overthinking." Ryan said, following out behind me into the car.

"Don't do that, because if it was Jace yo ass would've been the same way sooo, yea." I rolled my eyes leaving out the driveway on our way to our hairstylist. "Okay, you right." Ryan shrugged her shoulder plugging her aux cord into her phone playing Megan Thee Stallion.

Jayda turned the song to half of its maxed volume, Ryan and her singing the songs and rapping to their favorite parts. The whole car ride was just a great vibe knowing that everything was good.
