My Secret Love

Chapter 9

                                      Natalie POV
         After 8 hours in my new salon I've gained 10 new employees not including my assistants. The money I made for my grand opening was amazing. I made over 5K. Everyone was there supporting me and happy for me. That was the best birthday I could get. No one really look out for me besides my parents and Anthony and they showed their ass off today. I love all the energy they gave me. Now I'm a business woman. Even when I don't work I'm still getting paid. I feel like I still need more employees. Anthony went over the top with everything.
I'm just shocked that Hannah and Nicole told Anthony every detail and how I wanted my spa. I had to pinch myself, because it felt like a dream. I got dressed and decided to drive my G-Wagon to the salon. I stopped at Starbucks and got my employees coffee and breakfast sandwiches. I want to be a nice boss. I have to create a bond with my worker's and to show that I appreciate them. I'm new to this, so I have to learn how be in charge and not catch a big head. Some bosses are mean asf and I don't want to be that boss.
             Soon as I pulled up to the shop I see Hannah trying to stop a homeless lady from coming in the shop. We open at 9 and it's only 8:05. These people are losing their minds on the second day open. As I got closer I came to realize it was Bre. I hurried up and jumped out the car to tell Hannah it was alright and she's looking for me. I let her inside and gave her my coffee and breakfast. I didn't trust her, because I know 10 out of 10 she would go buy dope with my money. Bre I want to talk to you about rehab. You need to change your life around and shake back.
I feel like it's my fault. If I wouldn't have covered for you. Stacy should've been a good mother instead of being a dope head. We wouldn't be going through this. All you needed was guidance in your life. Maybe your dad should've retired sooner than he did. I understand why you turned to drugs. No one showed you love. Your mother was out trucking and your father was serving the country. I tried my best to lead by example, but you thought you had it all put together. You did all kind of stuff and I allowed it. All of us failed you, but I'm going to put you back on track.
I feel like you should go get help. I will pay for you to go, but it has to be a facility where you can't check yourself out. When you come home from up north I want you to be drug free. I will buy you a place where ever you want, but you have to promise me that you going to leave that dope alone. I need you healthy to be around to see your god kids when I decide to pop some out. We had a dream and I want you to accomplish your dreams. Just like I'm living my dream. I'm going to make sure you live your dream and be happy with it.
I still felt guilty about my telling her Stacy died. How can I explain to her what happen. It hurt my heart to say, "your father and I have been messing around and your mom found out and tried to kill me on my birthday, but your father killed her to save me." I feel like I failed her. I should've never gave up on her. She met some boy named Dylan and he introduced her to drugs. Breanna was a full on crack head. She still had a heart even though she did what she seen her mother do. I tried to tell Anthony to get her some help, but she's not his biological child.
Way before Stacy died he didn't want to be bothered or deal with them. The ice breaker was when the cops called Anthony to come get the car he brought her for graduation. She didn't know how to drive, but she had a car waiting on her till she shake back. Turns out she tried to sell the car for her and Stacy to pay debts and get more drugs. It's horrible how a beautiful young lady turn into a homeless crack head. I offered help several times; even if Anthony don't want to help. She was my best friend before he turned into my man.
Most people would be like they don't owe any one loyalty, but I did owe her all the loyalty. When I didn't want to be home she let me stay even though she was doing the most. When I was going through things she was there and now she's in pieces and it's my duty to help her. I say I did it for her, but maybe it was because I wanted to be with Anthony. I was being selfish. I could've been gave her help. I decided to lust and love her dad instead. I turned the other cheek and that's not right. I love them both, but my friendship is more important.
Bre POV
   Nat I'm tired of living like this. The police picked me up yesterday for solicitation and prostitution. My dad came bond me out. I was so ashamed. After I left the jail I had to go straight to the corner. You know that my mother was found floating in the bayou. She must've tricked the wrong one and they kilt her. I'm
So hurt right now. The drugs took over my mind and that was all I knew. I'm wiling to change and do better. I don't want to end up like my mom. That was an eye open experience. I'm ready for change.
