Demented

Chapter 10

She sits back down and say, "So you do you have a girlfriend? I know it's pretty hard to move on from you know what happened to sis. Miss that girl every single day. Just feels different that she's gone and it's been 2 years now." "Man, I was just talking bout her the other day with Matt and it just brought a tear to my eye. But yes I have a girlfriend, but it's complicated. It's weird, I'll tell you about it soon enough. Just give me your number." "605-467-2368" I save the number and head back over to Matt and Kobe and they look at me crazy. "I was just talking bout Charisma yesterday, and then she just suddenly pops up out of nowhere. But to say the least, she is looking fye." Me and Matt laugh as Kobe walks over to Carissa. "What happened to you? Big ass footprint on your shirt." Me and Jai got into a fight at Wingstop when him and Sariah pulled up to fight me and Zuri." "Oh wow, they really tried to jump you?! Ight bet. I got something for his ass." "Matt, stop. They already got my dad killed and I don't need my best friend being killed." "Woah, what?" "Jai runs with JQ and JQ's from the south side of Chi Town and he got somebody to kill my dad. It may have had nothing to do with Jai, but if it did, don't fuck with him. I'm already gonna have to see my dad in a casket and I sure don't wanna see you in one. I'd fucking kill myself." Matt  just gives me a hug and says, "Bro, it's gonna be ok. I'm gonna be there with you by your side." "Thanks man, I'm just thrown for a loop now because like I never thought this was gonna happen but go get Matt from talking to her because I gotta tell you, Zaria, Kobe and Zuri something after class." "Ight I'll get Kobe. And I'll let you know what he said to Carissa." Me. Dizzy walks over and calls roll. "Letterman. McGruder. Pamplin. Martinez. Dunne. Diamontoupoulos. Collins?" "I'm Carissa Collins. I'm new. Sorry about that." "It's fine. "Freise, Waters. Cooper." "Ight boys half, girls other half. Grab a ball and run a game of 3v3 or sum. Be productive!"! Me, Matt, and Kobe always run it up. We won the game 24-8. RIP Kobe. Always. Mamba Mentality. Anyways, we leave class ass the bell rings. Zuri comes from her Choir class and comes to meet me and hops in my arms. "Hey babes. How was PE? And ew, you're wet." "It was straight. Nun too crazy love. How was choir?" "It was ok love, I made a little song and it may be about somebody near and dear to my heart." "Damn, a song bout Jai. Thats gone be a hit. Literally a hit." Zuri just looks at me in plain sight with such a disgusting look on her. I walk up to her and give her a hug and say, "Me sowey. Forgive me please." She just hugs me and laughs. She hops on my back and we begin to walk out of the building. I meet Zaria outside the building as soon as I saw her. Zaria sees Sariah and says, "Zuri, I mean clench onto his neck and I'll hold his hand. Just piss her off." I just giggle as we walk by her. My shirt was pulled and I was told to come her. "Zuri, Zaria, you gone choose? Who? Me? Like what the fuck D, what's wrong with you?" "Zaria is my best friend so I don't know what you're getting at there. And like I said there may be something there with Zuri. But we're just friends. So calm down." "Well, if that's the case. I've got a new guy friend too, but I ain't gonna talk about that." "Say less" I walk back to meet up with Zuri and Zaria and she comes and hops right back in my arms but jumped on the front part this time. "I'm in love." Those three words just hypnotized me. I just stare her in the eyes for a minute after that. Zaria looking at me like, "Thats all you bestie." Ain't say it but I got the notion. "I'm in love too. We aren't gonna move too fast tho. We got things to handle outside of all of this. You got a place in my heart. I don't think this much affection has ever been shown to me and I don't know how to handle it. It's mind boggling. You make me feel loved, wanted and just cared for. Something Sariah truly never has made me feel." She hugs me tight as we all walk to the film room. "Hey Z, hey D. Hey Zuri!" Mr. Carlos says. "Hey Mr. Carlos. Nice seeing you. I'm just up here with my cousin and D and I'm gonna hang with them while they film." "Sounds good! Y'all have fun. Call for me if you need me!" We all head up the stairs to the top of the building to film. Zaria says, "So Zuri, what you gone do bout Jai boo?" "Jai is gonna tell me tonight. We moving tomorrow to that big ass crib by the dock over by where *eyebrow raises towards me* he lives. We all just sitting here dying laughing. "Z, imma take some pictures while you film. Jai ain't out there so we good for CA today. Cuz dude deadass tried to kick me in the face yesterday." "Sounds like some shit he would do." We all just nod in agreement. "Aww look at my Kelvin, wooking so handsome." Me and Zuri just looking at her like, "Umm, weird not?" So we just really chilled out for the rest of filming. Zuri fell asleep on my chest while the sun was beaming down on us. "Zuri! Zuri! Zuri! Wake YO ASS UP!" "Damn. Okay. I see you getting me back from this morning huh?" "Had to love. Cuz that shii was wrong this morning. I liked it tho." We both raise eyebrows at each other and just die laughing. Something that Sariah never did. She couldn't match my energy, I'm goofy and vibrant while she was just mildly fun and always wanting to do her and never us. Sad shit. Zaria and Zuri follow behind me as I'm walking down to the field. Zaria sits down by me and Zuri sits down in front of me and lays back into me. JQ just staring at the sidelines over to me. He gives me a funny look after he sees Zuri chillin in my lap. Me, Zaria, and Zuri move to the bleachers in safety because of what happened last week with Jai. I feel like some petty shit might happen if we were to continue sitting down there. It was a quick practice, so we heading out as Kelvin meets up with us. "Bro, what's good? Ain't seen you in a while. How you been?" "Nothing much man. Just a lot of shit. Dad died. A whole lot of shit. I don't even know. But imma make it bro. Just hurt on the inside." "Hope things better for you bro! Come on babe. Let's go get some food and head to the crib." "Love you bestie! Love you cousin!" Both say love you back in unison as we walk to the office for this class representative meeting. She hops on my back and says, "TO THE OFFICE DAVION!" I'm crying laughing as I'm running to the office. I see Sariah in there already. Me and Zuri just a laughing as we walk in there with a smile on our face. Sariah rolls her eyes as she looks at Zuri and then says, "Mr. Clyde, is there anyway possible that I can do this still and not be around them?" He replies with, "They are class representatives just like you Sariah. I think it's best that you all
handle things like adults and try to put differences aside. If not, then they're will be consequences. I've already seen the fight between you four and you're lucky that you haven't been suspended. Now all I brought you here for was to tell you that I need you all to handle these roles to the best of your ability this year. Y'all 3 carry so much responsibility. This means a lot as y'all are one of the best classes to come out of this high school since 1995." "Yessir, we totally understand. We will try to handle things to the best of our ability and get back to normal." "Well that's all guys. See you Thursday." So as we head out, Sariah stops me. "I see there's more with Zuri than me. I'm sorry for what I've done. Just let me give you an apology tonight. I'm sure it will make you think differently." I said, "Whatever. Just come by the crib whenever." Zuri pops back out and says, "What was that about?" "Sa got some apology tonight. Some sympathetic shit I'm guessing. Oh well. We'll see. You sleeping at my crib tonight?" "Oh am I? Oh yessir. Can't wait to lay on your chest again. But this time, I'll stay up longer." I just laugh and say bet. So we are heading back to my crib and I stop her by hers to pick up some clothes. She tells her mom and dad that I'm just one of her good friends. Weird families will just let you do shit like that. But nonetheless, she hopped back in the coupe with some Doc McStuffins pajama pants on. "Ight now you lil kid. I love it tho!" We both laughed as she layed her head on my shoulder all the way there. *RING RING* Carissa calling me. "Don't forget to go by and visit sis's grave tonight. She really wants to tell you something." She is practicing to be a medium so she can tell me things like that. "I'm headed there now. Love you lil sis!" "Zuri Pooh, we gotta go somewhere real quick. It's gonna be about 30 mins. You can come with or stay in the car. It's gonna be kinda weird." "I'm coming with you. I don't want nothing to happen to you." "Ight." So we pull up to Songbird Cemetery where Charisma was layed to rest and I find her tombstone. I sit down right beside it and Zuri does the same. "Why are we here?" "This tombstone right here means a lot to me. My first love. My everything. Charisma Collins. She died in my sophomore year of cancer. I couldn't trust anyone with my heart until Sariah now look at me." I lay my head down on her tombstone and then the vision happens. *VISION* "Hey babes. I really missed you. It's been a few hours since we've came in contact with each other. I've seen auras release from your soul and enter into the atmosphere and my mind picked up on them. Your current girlfriend, Sariah, gives me bad vibes. She treats you wrong and cheats on you. Which I'm only allowed to do. I'm surprised I'm here in heaven. She laughs. But I love this Zuri girl. She treats you like you should be treated, with love and generosity. I really messed up what we could have truly had while I was there. But this Zuri girl is the one to be with. Sariah doesn't deserve you. She just abuses and uses you mentally and physically. Take my advice love. Love you. See you soon babe!" I kiss her tombstone and Zuri is just looking at me in distraught at what just went down. "I literally have never seen anything like that before. Your pupils went dead black and you got stiff as hell. I thought you was dead but you had a pulse. What the fuck just happened to you?" "Well, I have visions. On some That's So Raven shit. I don't know what the fuck and how the fuck. But umm that shii happened after I left from you earlier and Charisma told me to come her grave. And then Carissa, her twin sister, told her to tell me to come to her site. So I came." "You are an uncommon man. I was right. But I love it. Now let's go back to your crib and chill, but first take me to Mickey D's I want some chicken nuggets and a McFlurry." "Bet." I just waved back to Charisma's grave as we walked away. "So that was your ex?" "Yeah, we met in junior high and she passed away sophomore year. Hurt me. And then Sariah was next up and now look at me. Distraught and hurt. I'm glad you entered my life. Sent a new spectrum of light through my life!" "I'm glad I could do that for you babe. It's just hard to open up and give myself to someone I always thought was a different person based on my surrounding's perspective. You've opened up so many doors for me instantly within just this one day of getting to know you. Over a span of two days, it just seems as if you've changed my life. It's so unexplainable and hard to grasp how you've changed me. I've really fell in love. I love you D. I know you moved quick with Sariah, but I'm a whole different story. I haven't cheated on Jai and we've been together for 3 years until yesterday. And guess who that was with. You." "Ive always like you too. I'd see you cross by my eyes when I'm with my boys and I'd just be like, "she's so pretty man. But I know that'd I never would get a chance with you. I know when you actually kissed me and like fell into my arms in tears is when I knew you had some type of feeling for me. It really hurts to see that someone treats you the way someone treats me but in a different manner. Plus you match my energy. You are always two steps ahead and energetic as hell. Always wanting to do crazy shit. Sariah just wanted to do her. It was never us. And that hurt. But you're just different. I can't say I truly love you fully yet, because I've been through so much heartbreak in my life that it's hard to just say those words and get fucked over again. It's undeniable to say that there isn't love for you, because there is. From that beautiful hair, to that sweet, luscious melanin skin tone, to that sexy smile and that great personality. It's hard to find someone like you. Ever. That's why I'm glad you entered my life at such a tough time. I just got news that my father died and I've somehow become to cope with it with you being around. You are changing me too." She moves to my seat. "I'll drive. Get out." "Okayy." So she drives to McDonalds and she orders her chicken nuggets and her M&M McFlurry. She pulls her card out and I snatch her purse from
her. "Give it back let me pay." Okayyyyy. Add me an Oreo McFlurry!" She laughs and tells them that while she's at the window. She doesn't know that I switched cards out while she was yanking her purse back from me. She looked at the card and said, "Why do you do this? I just want to know" "I don't know. It just comes first nature to be a man. I just don't like seeing any girl pay for food when I got money. May not be much, but I still don't want you to pay." "You're just different." That's the only thing she said the whole ride. We head to the crib but we take a right beside my house. "Where we going?" "Ive got this spot I want to take you. I always go to it when I'm down and out and I just need some space to breathe. So I recommend that we go there to just chill, look at the moon and stars for a minute, and just talk about things. Only the moon and the stars can hear us. Then we can go back to my crib so I can grab some things and then I'm going to your crib 😌." "Bet, lets go then." She pulls up to this little open field with a nice scenery with a lake and it looks beautiful. I grab a lil blanket that I have in my trunk for no obvious reason but it's there, so I grab it. I set it down and we both sit down. "You like it?" "Yeah Zuri, it's beautiful. Like someone I know. She may be sitting right beside me, but I ain't saying no names." She began to blush as she latched onto my chest. "Jai never says shit like that. I always ask him like, "Why do you never compliment me? He just says you know you pretty why I gotta tell you that? Like I just want to feel good but he doesn't make me feel that way. You do. That's why I'm grateful I let you step in my life. You've changed me exponentially." She said that as she laid her head down on my chest and began to close her eyes. 2 or 3 hours had past of me just staring at my phone and the stars while the girl I truly want to be with but can't be with is laying on my chest. I get a notification and I see Sariah's name come across my screen. "Hey babe. I'm sorry about how things have been going as of late. Im wrong for doing you wrong and it hurts to say it but it's just me. But I'm coming over to your house tonight and I've got a little surprise for you. Something you've never seen before." I just say, "Come on your time. I'm always open. I'll be home in about 30." She said, "okay see you soon 😙." Zuri looks up at me and asks, "Umm, what she think she finna do?" "First off, when the hell did you wake up and two I don't know but I'm kinda insterested. You still willing to come to my crib?" "You know I am babe. Whenever she come, I'll hide in the closet. Me, myself is very much interested at what this bitch got up her sleeve!" I'm deadass on the ground dying. Girl done started talking like a damn magician. "Carry me to the car loves. My legs asleep." I pick her up and put her ass on my shoulders like a squat bar. "Mf is just lifting weights with my ass now." "Yup, you slight work tho. Picked you up with ease." She looked at me with a smirk on her face and just laughed. I put her in the car and we headed back to the crib. We pull up to the apartments and I see one very important human being that I haven't seen this year. Lizzie. Lizzie Lewis. She's the girl that got me with Sariah. I don't regret it but I should have gotten to know Sariah more. Lizzie says, "Hey best friend. I haven't seen you in a minute. What you been up to?" "Nothing much. Been chillin with this doll." "What about you and Sariah. And my name is Liz. And you?" "She's Zuri. And me and Sariah are in a weird spot. She 'post to be coming over here to do something." Lizzie gives me that weird look and says, "Hmm. I wonder. Just let me know something tomorrow at school. I start tomorrow. We can exchange schedules in the morning. And nice to meet you Zuri!" "Nice to meet you too Lizzie!" We both walk into the house and Aunt Kim is sitting on the couch watching Criminal Minds drooling at the sight of Shamar Moore. Besides that, Uncle Josiah approaches me with the biggest hug ever and Aunt Kim follows right after. "I know it's hard to cope with the loss of your father. I'm sorry I kept him away from you, but I just didn't want you to be hurt by the fact that he wasn't a part of your childhood son. I truly am sorry." "It's fine Unc. You did what you thought was best and that makes me feel reassurance. Love you man!" "I saw Keisha in you today. Your momma would have been proud for how you stood up for that young lady today and how you handled Markahm's dumb ass. You showed prowess and just straight deadeye determination to keep that lovely lady out of harms way and you did just that. Plus she might have not needed your help because she handled that girl with the slightest. You really are blooming into a fine young man. She would be proud." "Thanks TT Kim. If Sa come over, let her in. All I gotta say." "Alright baby, y'all can go chill out or whatever y'all gone do!" I walk into my room and get undressed. And so does she. Right in front of me. Takes off her jeans and shirt and throws them on the floor. She then proceeds to hop on my back and say, "What we finna do cowboy?" "Whatever you wanna do cowgirl, grab your saddle and let's see what adventures we gonna take!" We both laughing at the fact that we are just stupid af. I turn around and sling her on the bed off my back she lands on her back. I pin her arms to the bed and I go in for a kiss. She loosens her arm from my grip and grabs my head and leans it farther in to deepen the kiss. I start rubbin my hand on her stomach while she starts rubbing my back. She pushes me off and says, "Shit. I ain't had a kiss like that for the longest. Boy, I was bout ready to give myself up." I start laughing and blushing at the fact that I was really tryna get a taste but I know it wasn't happening for a while. I hear a familiar voice enter from the background and it's Sariah. "Z, get in the closet! Now!" She giggles as she runs to the closet as Sariah barges into my room. She hops into my arms. She takes her shirt off and she doesn't have on a bra. Just titties all in my face. They barely there but titties in my face. She then proceeds to hop out my arms and take off the rest of her clothes. Now she's in front of me naked as Zuri looks from the closet appalled. "Is this what you wanted all along? Just sex. Will this make you happy?" "Not really. I guess. I don't know." "Shh. I can handle this." She gets on her knees and pulls down my pants. She slowly leads her mouth onto it. Then comes the vacuum seal gawk gawk 3000. I'm baffled. It was good, but does she think that that's the only thing that's gonna keep me coming back. "Does that help? Now will you stay with me? Is that all you wanted?" "Not gone lie, the head was A1. It was good. But those questions that you asked me, that shit kind of makes me feel some type of way. Does that help? Will you stay with me?" What? You justifying our whole situation right now with a sexual act doesn't mean that it just objectifies all that has happened. I'm sorry but it doesn't help. Thanks for the head tho." She just puts her close back on and leaves quickly. She seemed embarrassed for no reason and as she left, Zuri popped back out. "Oh wow. That's her present for all the shit she's done. Some head. Not sentimental time together or thinking about the memories? Nahh just some head. That's blasphemy. I'm gonna hop in the shower babes." "Ok love!" I'm just laying on the bed in awe at what just happened. That's all she had. I appreciate the offer, but damn. All I'm good for is some head. Meanwhile, 20 minutes passes by and Zuri comes out the bathroom with nothing but a towel on as she left her clothes outside the bathroom. She comes and grabs her clothes and looks at me with her raw beautiful face and winks. She then walks out the bathroom with one of those little onesies that all the girls be wearing but hers is Spongebob. And then this girl proceeds to yank my yellow du-rag off my head and put it on her gargantuas ass head of hair like that shii was going to work. She comes and climbs up on the bed and she pays across my stomach. I put my hand on her neck as she digs her face into my chest. She ends up falling asleep within ten minutes like I expected so I hop up and take my shower. Then 25 mins later I walk back out and she's awake looking me dead in my face like why the hell did you leave me. So I hop in bed and she gets on the opposite side of me and cuddles my stomach. Her butt is really big so that mf keeps you know touching my guy. So I got hard and she turns around and looks at me and says, "Why? I know you like it but not that much." I just nod and lay my head down. Today was wild as hell. Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store. Good night.
