Aaliyah felt like she had only gotten 2 seconds of sleep when she got hit upside the head with a couch pillow at 9:30 that following Saturday morning. She jumped in a shock and let out a light scream. When her eyes got more adjusted she spotted Monica standing at the foot of her bed, clothes fully on with her right hand on her hip and the other holding the pillow she used to hit her.
“Monica? What the freak…its 9:30”
“What’s the matter got a hangover?” she half joked. That only irritated Aaliyah, “that wasn’t even funny” she spat.
“I wasn’t joking”, Monica spat back. Aaliyah caught onto her attitude quick. “Get up and get dress”
“Why?”
“Because we’re leaving at 10, and you need to be ready by then”
Monica turned to walk out and Aaliyah sat up stretching and yawning, and then opened her mouth.
“And where are we supposed to be going?”
Monica turned on her heels quickly giving Aaliyah a look that could kill, “I suggest if you ever wanna walk again don’t ask me anymore crazy questions. Just get dressed”
Aaliyah frowned at the way Monica was coming at her but knew better than to say anything. Her family didn’t go by age; any age can get they ass whooped. Aaliyah rolled her eyes and defiantly and got out of bed to wash up and against her will get ready to leave. By the way Monica was acting she wasn’t so sure about going with her. She threw on anything really, fluffed her hair out and checked the time; it was just turning 9:55.
She grabbed her phone and headphones and walked downstairs. Monica was leaning on the railing waiting for her to descend from the steps. DJ was standing there too talking to her and he saw Aaliyah come down. He started laughing out of nowhere, Aaliyah frowned her face up at him.
“We’ll be back” Monica told him pecking his lips. “I’ll be here” he told her back and looked at Aaliyah. He did nothing but shake his head and walked to his room. Aaliyah found it odd that he didn’t even say 2 words to her.
Monica grabbed her keys and headed out the door, Aaliyah assumed to just follow since she didn’t say let’s go or nothing like that. They drove down to a Starbucks, Monica’s favorite coffee shop of all time. They got out and headed inside and grabbed a table.
A waiter came by taking their orders and told them he’d be back in 15 minutes or less with their drinks. The silence took over but Monica did more talking with her face then with her mouth. “So…are you going to tell me about last night or I have to beat it out of you?” Monica asked her.
Aaliyah sighed; now she knew where the attitude was coming from. “And you better think twice before you let a lie slip out because Syria already told me her side of it”
Aaliyah cursed Syria out loudly inside her thoughts and remembered to do so in person tomorrow at school.
“Whose idea was it to go to the club?” Monica started off asking. Aaliyah pondered before answering, “It was all of ours. We’ve been talking about it for 2 weeks. Syria found the club then me and her came up with the idea to sneak out”
She asked her question, “What age is it under?”
“From 18 and up, it was the only club in LA we found that took you that young” Aaliyah answered. “And y’all snuck in through the front?” Monica asked curiously. Aaliyah shook her no slowly, “Syria knew a back way just like she knew a shortcut there. We snuck through the back so security wouldn’t see us and stop us”
Their coffee and came but Monica didn’t care, she was still playing private eye detective. She grabbed her cup and sat up in her seat, “and how did your hall monitor end up bringing you home?” Monica asked.
For some reason that annoyed Aaliyah; she retaliated, “He’s not a crappy hall monitor he’s our real security!”
Monica sensed the hostility coming from her baby sister, “Well shoot the damn messenger! I don’t give a damn if he was a teacher himself! Why the hell is he bringing you home from a club Aaliyah?”
Aaliyah sunk in her seat; she knew there was no way out of this. Monica continued, “If I was mommy your ass will be dead right about now. Lord forbid let her find out about this and that’s my ass! I don’t appreciate that shit Aaliyah! I let you come over and you’re free to do as you please but lying and sneaking out to clubs ain’t part of the deal! Don’t mix me up into your web of bullshit cause I’ll fuck you up!”
Aaliyah was slowly starting to realize that what may have been no big deal to her was to everyone else who got caught in the line of fire. Larry could’ve called her mom instead he let her off easy by just telling Monica, and Monica could’ve sent her back home and still told her mom. Far as she was concerned this is as close to a punishment Aaliyah wanted; a bunch of scolding.
“I’m sorry” she admitted. Monica dropped her attitude from 100 to 50; she was disappointed at her little sister. More so that she got caught and then lied to her about it; that’s what made it even worse. But Monica wasn’t done guilt tripping her just yet, “That man seemed pissed at you too. What his name…Larry?”
Monica rolled her eyes again, “Yeah. Larry Bourgeois, he’s the schoolyard security”
“Well I bet he didn’t expect his night to end like that”
“He didn’t have to do anything he didn’t want to” Aaliyah defensively said. “So maybe he was helping you out! You still don’t get it do you? The police would be at mommy’s door right now if y’all got caught! He was looking out for your ass”
Aaliyah meant to roll her eyes in her head but instead let it show, Monica just started laughing. “That’s your problem girl. Everyone who doesn’t agree with your stupid ass decisions that you think are grown up decisions is against you. Keep fighting the world Aaliyah and all you’re ever going to be in it is alone”
Aaliyah had nothing to say; her sister only talked like this when she was serious about something. “That man didn’t have to bring you home and keep your little sneaky ass secret. He could’ve dropped you off at the police station and reported you to mommy because he could lose his job for having a minor in the car with him. I bet you didn’t even say thank you either, knowing how you are you probably tried to curse him out. Man must care about you”
Monica stood to her feet throwing the money on the table grabbed her coffee and started towards the door. She left Aaliyah sitting there drowning in her thoughts, feeling even more guilty than she did earlier.
The car ride back home was a dead silence until Aaliyah broke it, “Monica…”
Monica glanced over at her sister before her eyes back on the road. Aaliyah spoke up, “I-I’m sorry…I shouldn’t have lied and I shouldn’t have been out to that club. I’m sorry for not taking this more seriously and I’m sorry for flipping out Larry”
Monica understood the rest of the apology but not that last part. “I think that part you save for Mr. Larry tomorrow morning”
Aaliyah caught on and realized that she did have to apologize to him. She probably hurt his feelings by the way she acted. She knew tomorrow morning would be a long day…
