Clarification

12:55 am

It was almost 1 am and all I wanted to do was go upstairs and go to SLEEP but my mom decided to question me about my whereabouts.
"So where were you all night Ms. Xia Lynn Carter?" she questioned leaning over on the counter, waiting for me to answer. She didn't have to use my whole government. It was hard lying to someone who could pick out lies so easily but it was worth a shot to save my ass. All I managed to do was open my mouth before my mom said something else. "And don't go saying you were at Kamora or Jessica's house because I called both Tamara and Monique and they said you AND the girls were nowhere to be found." I shut my mouth and just let the defeat wash over me. Damn I forgot our moms were friends. At least I know it wasn't Jeremiah who snitched.

"Okay me and the girls went to a party BUT before you beat my ass I would like you know that you were also the one that said I should get out more yesterday." I said in what came out as one very fast sentence.

"Even though I should beat your ass I won't, but Xi you know how I feel about parties around here. I was a party goer at your age too. I just want you to be safe and for you and the girls to lookout for yourselves and each other okay?" I wanted to be mad at her for holding me down here for this chat but I understood where she was coming from. Especially after what happened to her when she was younger, I know she just wants me to be safe. I was just glad that she didn't hear how things went down at the party.

I sighed, "I know momma, sorry." she nodded her head signaling that I was finally released. I hurried upstairs but before I made it all the way up I was stopped again. My bed was calling my NAME...what now?

"And who was that who dropped you off? I didn't recognize the car." she was so nosey but I smiled remembering how good the night really was. Melo.

"Mmm just someone I met at the party, they cool."

"Mnm" I giggled a little bit at her response. I know she was assuming it was a little more than that and shit, she was right. When I made it to my room my clothes were instantly off and thrown sloppily in my laundry bin. I got a tank top from one of my drawers putting it on and diving into bed. As soon as my head hit the silk covered pillows I was out like a light. I hope I get that text tomorrow.

My hands went to my eyes rubbing them while my body stretched several different ways. The sound of my message notifications going off over and over woke me up.

"Who is blowing up my phone this early!" I let out rolling over and grabbing my phone studying my lock screen. It was most def not early...The clock read 12:45 pm. My mom was already at work by now. I looked at my messages and noticed they were all from Jess.

Jessica😋: XIA WAKE UPPPP
Jessica😋: I know yr prolly still sleeping but we have plansss
Jessica😋: Kamora wants to go to the diner for lunch at 1:30 meet us there bimbo xoxo 💋

If this girl don't-

You: Okayyy dang, you knw we wre out late I gotta get my rest. I'll meet y'all there. Nd call me a bimbo again and we're scrappin

I looked at my other notifications to see what was going on and after a while I realized, Not one text from Melo. Nothing. ZERO. ZILTCH. It was the afternoon already and I know he gets up early to practice so it can't be that he hasn't woken up yet. Maybe he didn't. Maybe he was hung over? I was making up all these scenarios in my head but the only one that I wanted to believe was that maybe what happened last night was a one time thing. He was probably just feeling me at the moment and when he woke up this morning realized I wasn't what he wanted. The feeling I have in my chest right now, I don't like it. I was in a way disappointed, I guess. I decided to just let it go for now. The girls would notice that there's something wrong if I come to the diner looking like a sad case.
