Battles

Chapter 5

We pulled up to the building where Aj was having his party. But before we went in we looked in the mirror to make sure our appearance was on point. I combed through my hair with my fingers making sure not a strand was out of place. I just wore my long hair down. After we applied on our lipstick we excited the vehicle making sure to lock it and headed towards the building which was down the street from where we parked. We couldn't find nothing closer so we had no choice but to park down the street. When we got closer to the building we could see security guards with clipboards in their hands. We didn't have a worry cause we already know we was on the VIP list. We walked to the front of the line and could hear people whispering Why we skipping and a whole bunch of mess. "Names?" The tall dark skinned security guard asked. "Blue and nique." We responded in unison. "Ahh right at the top, go ahead" he said stepping aside so we can enter. As soon as we walked in I seen Alex right by the door looking too good. I guess he was trying to be like me cause he had on a black shirt with a gold pocket on it with some black leather joggers and so Tim's with a gold rope chain around his neck. He pulled me into a tight hug and it felt good to be in his arms. "Glad you made it" he said into my ear. "Me too" I said back. "Damn y'all acting like y'all ain't seen each other in years. I just know one thing you better not hurt her feelings or imma hurt you. You catch my drift?" She said woth a serious look on her face. All I could do was laugh. She was so overprotective but I loved her. "Yea I gotcha trust me that ain't gon happen." He said winking at me. I Couldn't help but blush. "OK then. Y'all kids go have fun." She said smirking at me then she mouth the words he the one. I was so confused but Oh well. "Come on I having a surprise for you." He said grabbing my. We walked to the center of the dance floor facing the stage. "Stay here" he said walking off. Before I could even respond he was gone leaving me confused. Soon the lights got dimmed and the lights on the stage came on. I looked up to the stage confused at what I saw. Alex was on the stage with a microphone in his phone. "Hey how y'all doing tonight.?" He asked the audience. "Good" they said in unison. "I have a supriae for a special person and if y'all don't mind I would like to sing her a song." Soon as he said that I heard August Alsina's instrumental to you deserve better.
I cant stand to see the way he treats ya and I see ya go back and I see your home girls trying to reach ya but you ain't hearing none of that.
They try to get through but it's no use I don't know it's like you like the abuse cause you know that you should walk away but you stay anyway
girl I know it's not my place to say this he ain't no good and I know you think it's not my business but let's get it understood ian trying to run your life like everybody else and ian gotta to have you for myself ian trying to take his place I just wanna plead by case.

Next thing I know tears was streaming down my face. I couldn't believe he could sing. How did he know about Dominique and jasmine and I just found out. I did talk to him about my relationship and he kept saying I should leave him but I always defended him. I looked and seen him staring in my eyes getting ready to sing the second verse of the song.
I know that love can be blind but you should open your eyes take a look in the mirror baby girl you prize and any man that don't see that you should let his ass go believe that because his love ain't real what he won't do another nigga will.
Girl I hate to hear the names he call ya and ya still answer back
If he try to talk that talk I'll kill girl he'll get his ass clapped cause he dont act that tough round anybody else trust I know this for myself ian trying to take ho's place I just wanna plead my case. I couldn't take it anymore my emotional ass was crying my eyes out what he was saying was true I did deserve better and I put with too much for me to be treated like this. I was there when his daddy died, I was there when his momma put him out, I was there when he got arrested for selling drugs I was with him through it all he had all of me and more and he go and get a bitch pregnant I was beyond hurt. I gathered myself and walked out the bathroom. Soon as I walked onto the dance floor Alex was coming towards me still singing.
You deserve better he said as he was wiping the tear off my cheek and lifting my chin making me smile. After that the crowd went wild. After a while everyone went back to partying. "Did you like my surprise.?" Alex asked coming behind me with his hand around my waist. "Yea.that was the sweetest thing anybody has ever done for me. I didn't know you could sing." I said surprised. "Yea it's one of my hidden talents. And you deserved it. He don't know what he has. He's trading in a Beyonce for a Kim kardashian who's up 20 niggas. But I'll be more than happy to pick up where he left off and show you how a queen is suppose to be treated if you let me." He said. Before I could answer I felt someone grabbing my arm.
