J. Cole Dreams: She's Too Young

chapter 10: Hide n' Seek

Please Review chapter 9 Before reading.  Had to Split this chapter into 2

Asia P.O.V.

"Excuse me! can I please use your phone?" I asked a few people but they kept walking. I left my charger in backpack in J's car. Great, here I was in this big city that seemed like it never sleeps, and I had no idea where I was. I honestly just wanted to go home, not that there was anyone to go home to. You see I wasn't really mad at J, I was frustrated with my situation. Earlier today I was interrogated by the principal, bullied by Troy and disrespected by that waitress. So J's little 'superstar' secret was just the icing on the cake. So I ran away like a dork. I knew he was looking for me but I forgot where I was.

For an hour I was walking around hungry and freezing. I slipped my hands in J's hoodie for warmth when I felt his car keys in the left pocket and his wallet in the other. I pulled out both in disbelief, seriously? I thought to myself. When I opened his wallet my eyes almost popped out of my head. His wallet was loaded with cash, it had to be thousands of dollars on him. What was this nigga doing stripping? I thought to myself.

"Hey come here girl", I heard this man from behind me say. I quickly stashed the money back in my pockets and turned around to some strange looking guy. He kept calling me over, "C'mon girl I've been looking for you everywhere" he said. I stood there for a moment, hoping I'd recognize him as he walked closer. But no, it sure wasn't J or anyone I knew, it had to be some bum so I ran a few blocks down dusting him, and rushed into a liquor store. Still looking over my shoulder as I walked down the snack aisle with my stomach growling. I grabbed a carton of milk, chips, and sour patch and cashed out with J's credit card. Hey, if he really liked me then he wouldn't mind.

Once I made it out the store, I walked down the streets while pigging out and contemplating on my next move. All I needed was a phone. Just then I saw this girl who looked about my age. She was white with brown hair, and slender, she wore a skimpy black dress, a chest-nut trench with boots and fishnet stockings. I just knew she had to have access to a phone, "Excuse me? Could I pretty please use your phone? I'm lost out here, mine is dead and I'm trying to get home" I asked.

"Sorry Hun, mine just died too" she said. I hung my head down dissapointed and started to walk away. "Wait where are you from?" she questioned.

"The other side of town"

She stared me up and down then smirked as if an idea popped in her head, "I have a charger, you can charge your own phone in that club across the way, I can definetly get you in if you can help me out?". 

"With what?" I said with one eyebrow lifted. 

 "I need a couple drinks and I don't feel like flirting my way to get one, if you could buy me a couple I could definetly get you in that club"

"Aren't you a little too young to be drinking?" I asked.

She chuckled, "21, I get that a lot" she said while pulling out a blunt. Once she lit it and puffed on it a few times she started talking again, "So are you in?"

I looked at my options, I knew if I used my own phone I could call J to come get me. I looked around for another source one last time before giving in, "Fine, I'll do it"

"Sweet, I'm Lisa by the way, and you are?" 

"Asia, lets hurry" I said.

"Okay, just follow my lead"

We walk across the street to the club but then she stops, "Hold up, unzip your hoodie a bit, show off your goods". I hesitated a bit but then did as she told me. Lisa passes the line of people waiting to get in and walks straight up to the door man, "Hey Al she's with me" she tells him and surprisingly he opens the door. "See, I told ya I could get you in" she whispers to me. Once we get in the club, I follow behind lisa as we make our way to the bar. She greeted people that she knew while bouncing to the blasting music. Just then some brown, tatted, dread head stops her, "Aye ma, who's ya friend" he asks her while staring me down and licking his lips. "She's off limits" she yells over the music and continues walking. 

We finally get to the bar area and sit on the high stool chairs. Lisa sits on it like a pro, while I struggle getting up there. Just then the bar tinder walks up, "What can I get you two ladies?" he asked as I slid him J's credit car. "Can you get us two Long Islands and a couple shots?"  she asked. "You got it" the bar tinder went to prepare our drinks. 

"What do you mean us?!" I yelled at Lisa.

"SHH...Duh, you're paying for it, how suspicious would that be if you didn't drink?" she whispered.

"I'm only 17 I can't drink alcohol!" I whisper back.

"Chill just take a couple sips then send it my way, do NOT finish it"

Just then the bartinder walks back and sits a tray of two tall glasses and two small ones, and sits it infront of Lisa. Lisa 's face lights up, "Finally a drink" she says. She sits one tall glass infront of me then raises her glass up, "Bottoms up" she says before downing it. I stare at my drink. It looked like just a regular Ice tea with a leaf inside, so I took a few sips. The taste wasn't half bad either, it even tasted like lemon iced tea but with a really strong after taste. So i drunk more and more,

Lisa started laughing,"Damn girl, take it easy you're a light weight"

"Alright we did your thing now lets do mine" I impatiently said.

"Okay okay fine" she says while handing me her charger, "You see those couches over there? thats where the outlet is". I tried to look from where I was sitting but couldn't see through the crowds, "You're not coming with me?" I said. "I can't just leave these drinks here, we just bought em" she argues. Just then that dread head guy walks up and cuts in between Lisa and I, leaning his arm on the counter, "Hey ma you enjoying ya self?" he asked. I noticed that he had pretty green eyes.

I see Lisa smiling at me from behind him and nodding her head yes. I nod my head no to her and she nods yes even harder, "No!" I blurted out.

He laughs, "Forreal ma why not? it's turnt up in this bitch". Lisa interrupts, "what my friend Asia here means is that she is but it would be even better if she could charge her phone somewhere, maybe you could show her?"

"Oh word? No doubt I'll show you" he says as he takes my hand helping me off the chair. "So ya name is Asia I like it, I'm Que by the way" he says.  As we make our way closer to the couches, I start to feel light-headed. My vision gets blurry and my head feels like it's spinning. Everything becomes annoiying, Que, the music, the crowded people dancing. I can't walk straight, and suddenly someone bumps me, knocking my phone to the floor and the battery cracked out. I kneeled to the floor reaching for it.  At this point all I could think about is  J, "J-J I need you" I slur my words out. I lose my balance and collaspe.
