(Andrew in the Picture Above)
Taylor
Me and Darren have been doing great. Darren's been winning every game at our school. I've won six track meets so far and life seemed to be doing good. I still wondered what Laylah possibly had to tell me, I guess she forgot cause she never did come up to me and it's been how many weeks. Anyway Christmas was coming up and I was so excited, me and Darren aren't official just yet and yes people I'm still a virgin but I'm excited to see what we have in store. I've literally never felt this way about anyone. (Ring ring) who is it I called out. No answer came from the door. I opened it to see Chantelle , bags packed , mascara running down her face and bruises. Horrified at what I was seeing I pulled her into me as she collapsed in my arms , crying hysterically. Telly what happen , tell me now. Tay he raped me she said through her tears. I felt hot tears roam down my cheeks and anger filled up in my heart , Telly we are going to the police station right now, Ma I called out , my mom and my sister came trailing down the stairs , my mom darted towards us grabbing Chantelle's face. Chantelle what happened baby , speak to me. Where did these bruises come from? After he raped me, I packed my bags, I was trying to figure out the safest way out, my mom was high but he wasn't. I ran out the door and he caught me smacking and punching my face, I fought back for dear life before finally getting away. My mom quickly grabbed her keys and looked at us, let's go, this son of a bitch is getting arrested today.
Christe
Me and Laylah were chilling watching the notebook when I heard a knock at my door. I didn't recognize the face in the peephole. Who is it ? It's journey she replied. Journey I mumbled to myself. I ran into the living room tapping Laylah , yo the bitch that's fucking with my man is at the door right now. Laylah sprung up tying her hair up, bitch came to fight ? I don't know but just in case I've been ready to fuck this hoe up. Another knock came from the door. I flung the door open so wassup bitch I said putting my fist up. Yeah hoe who you brought to jump my bitch , didn't know I was gone be here right ? Laylah said yelling behind me. Journey just laughed which confused the shit out of me. I took a good look at her, she was actually very pretty. It made me jealous that this is who devante cheated on me with. Is there something you need I said with an attitude calming down. She laughed again which made me so mad , look Christe doll I'm here to talk to you, not jump you, not fight you, not to argue with you she said tilting her head to the side looking at Laylah , just to talk she said calmly. I looked at her then turned to Laylah, alright chris ima be right here just in case a bitch get outa line she said looking journey up and down. I closed the door behind me and stepped out , so wassup ? Listen she said taking a breath, me and devante fucked only twice during the course of your relationship , yes I gave him chylimida, I got that from my ex and I didn't know of it until after we fucked. I met devante through my brother who devante sells to. I interrupted her, sells to ? Yeah devante sells drugs she said with a duhh look on her face. I pretended I knew what she was talking about and gestured her to continue. Anyway, I came here today to assure you that me and devante are now best friends and havnt engaged in any sexual activity since the last time we had sex. We both didn't know you were going to be at that dudes party. Devante invited me after coming over to cry about you actually. I'm just asking you to give him one time , just one time for him to talk to you and come clean about everything. I stood there taking in everything she was saying. Thank you for coming by journey I said dismissing her not even saying bye. Laylah ran to me , what the fuck that dusty bitch had to say ? More than you think I replied. More than you think.
Andrew
Chantelle hasn't been answering my phone calls all day. I decided to pop up at her house. I knocked on the door , no answer came. Hello I called out. Finally a women open the door, she was beautiful just like Chantelle but you could tell she's been through a lot. Her clothes hung freely off her body, her hair was a curly mess, her eyes were rugged and tired and her eyes appeared to be black. What is it boy ? She said in a disgusting tone. Hi I'm Andrew, Chantelle's boyfriend, and I havnt heard from her , is she here? Her moms eyes widened in fear as I turned around to see a man standing there with two bags of weed and 3 vodka bottles. Get cho ass in the house Sammie. She quickly closed the door and the man came closer to me. Who the fuck are you? I turned to him and who the fuck are you I replied with just as much attitude as he did. I'm the man of this house lil nigga and if you looking for that sexy ass Chantelle, I gave her some of that daddy d she prolly don't know how to act. The words played in my head like a melody , I couldn't control my anger as I punched him so hard in the face , the bottle of alcohol scattered on the concrete. I ran to the car dialing tay's number. Hello, Tay it's Andrew where are you guys ? St jones hopital off of peach street, she needs you Andrew Taylor said whispering. I drove the car frantically down the road. I began noticing that Chantelle is someone that really matters to me and this feeling didn't scare me anymore.
Devante
I layed on journey's couch awaiting her to return. I heard keys and ran to the door. I bumed rushed her as she walked in , how'd it go ? Damn vonte can I get through my doorway please she said laughing. I looked at her with my puppy dogs eyes, I think it went well she said putting her bag down, I would call her. And don't mess this talk up either. I nodded hugging her tightly. I then dialed the number I've been calling for weeks , it rang and rang and just when I was about to hang up a voice appeared on the other line, hello ? Christe , please give me your time , these past couple of weeks have been hell without you, I need to let you know how I feel. The silence from the other side made me sigh, tonight at 9 be ready cause we are talking I said firmly. Alright Christe replied and the phone hung up. I missed her voice , her presence , her smile , her everything. I fucked up badly but everyone deserves second chances right ?
Chantelle
It turns out the police have been trying to catch this guy for a while . He's been a child molester for years. They sent me straight to the hospital to get me checked out. I couldn't go live with my mother anymore so tay's mom is going to let me stay with her. I couldn't be more thankful for them. I had to stay over night because there seemed to me a unusual tear in my vagina and they needed more time to check it out. I told tay that she could go home, that I would be okay. Tay nodded easily and hurried out, I couldn't understand why she left so quickly but I didn't dwell on it. I closed my eyes for a couple of minutes and then I flinched as a pair of lips kissed my forehead. I opened them to see Andrew standing there with flowers and my favorite chipotle food. I smiled warmly at him as I saw tears form in the creases of his eyes. I grabbed his hand tightly, I'm okay baby, he broke our hands , no Chantelle , I'm supposed to protect you, and I wasn't there to he said pacing back and fourth. Andrew this isn't your fault I said calmly. He could've killed you Andrew said screaming. I couldn't disagree with him, I got out of the hospital bed and slowly walked to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing his face down to my lips, I looked at him in his eyes, I'm glad you are here, you make me feel safe then I kissed him, I felt his tears add spark to our kiss as our tongues collided and danced with each other. It's crazy how my body felt so worthless before but when Andrew kissed me he made it feel alive. All my scars and pains were erased when kissing him. He picked me up while we were still kissing to lay me down in the hospital bed. Our lips parted as the words off my tongue rolled uncontrollably , please don't leave me. He smiled as he climbed in the bed, pulling me closer to him. Being this close to Andrew made me feel at peace for the first time.
