-Jordin Sparks
I opened my eyes slowly. No. It wasn't sudddenly dawn and I was in a safe house because a nice stanger with a warm heart saw me and helped me. I was still hurt and it was still dark; but mama didn't raise no fool- Lord knows who's lurking in the woody area near the park hoping to find something to eat and they stumble upon an unconcious juicy Nigerian young defencless girl? Fuck that. I may be hurt but I'm not stupid. . I picked myself up and tried to regain some sense of stability- my ear was banging and it felt warm but I could survive it and my arm was stingling like a band of bees made themselves comftable on my hand. I tried to move it but it just even more- ignoring it fort now. Got bigger things on my mind right about now. It did hurt but if I was going to collaspe or fall over, I'd rather do it where I'm more likely to get seen- not dogs to wee on me or a crows nibbling on my face. I looked around; a group of people could only just faintley be made out into the horizon- damn my bad eyesight in the dark; but it was blatent they were running. I didn't cacth any of their faces but I recognized I think I recognized the last voice. I started walking but my right leg didn't want to co-opperate so I eneded up limping. I was so fucked when I get back to Sam's. He gonna be asking millions of questions and is just gonna get angry. Okay; think think think. What's a good explenation of why is look a mess and probably have bruises by tomorow everywhere? I fell over? Yeah. Everyone knows I have bad hand eye co ordination when I'm running so I was trying to follow Kwali and fell over. Yeah. Just keep telling myself that cause when Omari realises its gonna be a volcanoe exploding. I'm not having anyones death on my hands.
I didn't know what was actually going through my head. I was staring in my own personal crimwatch and I had no control of myself or what was happening around me. I couldn't have fought back and have won - it wasn't even a fight. It was a group of people on person; so yes I was angry obviously. Who likes looking weak? But I knew better than to start a war that includes Sam and Omari cause someone is going to come out crying or bleeding and I didn't even know who did it.
But I felt dumb. Dumb Dumb Dumb. I just had been fucked up and by tomorow my usually smooth and near enough to even compelxion is going to be full of bumps and bruises all in diffrent colours that should just not be there. Point Blank. I didn't even want to think about my Mum, she doesn't mess about- espicalley when it came to family. Agh fcuk meee.
I didn't know who did it.
Not to blow my own horn. But seriously I pray for whoever done it because as soon as I feel better I'm going to start plotting my revenge. I was hurt and upset now but I know myself better than anyone else- this feeling is going to pass. Feeling sad and my heartbeat racing and me being scared. Karmas my bestfrined.
Don't mess with a Nigerian.
We do JuJu.
I limped and limped all the way to Sam's and had to knock the door now. The party was in full motion and someone smart decided to close the door. This night had actually been a disarter from the get go- yeah I had fun; but fun never lasts with Omari hanging around.
"I just need somebody to looovvve-" the door thrust open and trust Ceilca to be singing out of tune. I smiled weakily at her when she dropped her mouth looking at me up and down.
"What happened?" She said leaving me outside like its not cold and its my cousions girlfriends flat. I had no idea what I looked like but I couldt swell up in 10-15 mins so she was probably talking about the dress shoes and my hair- or as she called it 'her masterpiece'
#Adele
'Baby grind on me; Relax your mind take your time on me. We slow grinding baby. When I hit 'em I make 'em OHH!'
I was slow grinding on my baby, just like the song said. Me and my girls at some party and Omari was there aswel so you know what gonna go down ;)
I did all dancing known to man and gave him a lil extra too. We danced for some more songs. Yeap- my boy can dance, and he don't get tired! But I slowly was- but the songs were tooooo live to sit down on; might have to hire this DJ if I have a shubz.
"Ay. Its Locked. All of you Fuck off!" Some sexy light skinned boy turned on the lights and the DJ turned off the music. I we 'awww'-ed- but no one asked questions- truss he looked like he could have done some damage with the look on he's face- LOL what pissed him off?
"I'll be back in a bit babes" Omari said tapping my hips- he always does that when he says bye- right lil weirdo. I wacthed him swivel through the crowds to the older looking boy. He asked him something- he looked around then left- so much for back in a mintue. The room soon cleared out as the boy was practically pushing people out. He would ask people something and if they said no- he told them to leave.
"Are you sleeping over?" he wasn't even looking in my direction- but giving people eyes to leave
"Errm I'm waiting for Omari" I managed to say- he was scaryyy.
"It's either help clean up or go to one of the guest rooms" he said not caring. He was going around to everyone but missed out some people- probably knew them.
Eventually only about an odd 20 people in the room. I knew most of them and it looked like my girl Vicks bopped. LOL; kinda peak how she didn't say bye but there was a rush of people leaving. She better call me later though.
"If your staying over go to a guest room or suttin. Twins and Melyvin come 'ere" Kwali and Kwayne & Melvyin left the room and followed Sam out of the room- Omari needs to hurry up' he promised to walk me home when we were dancing- but it might just be alchol in he's head.
*
Well this was nice; some girl Katy was walking around cleaning and picking up the bottles. People looked stressed. I stood there playing with my nails whilst people talked to each other about the girls and their dancing. Bare gangbangers and shit in the room- but I was cool with most of them so no awkward ness.
"Adele?" Phew. I jumped up and went to meet Omari in the hallway. He opened the door to outside and we stood their talking
"Errm somethings come up and I can't walk you home" he said scratching he's forehead- stressed guy
"What happened babe?" He sighed heavily
"I don't even know man. Aaliyah looks like she's been raped or sutting but she aint talking to anyone init" I rolled my eyes- back to her AGAIN.
"So did she call you or sutting?" someone doesn't take my warnings-
"Nar nar. She staying here for a couple of days" LOL- why? That guy looks like he's waaayy to old for her.
"Why?" I actually couldn't help but my face screwed up- everything was about her init? I not even the jealous type but how's your boyfriend gonna be talking about your ex contsantly? Have her as he's BB picture of them kissing? BMT? Is he actually trying to take the piss? And if I say anything I'm starting world war 3. And if I talk to Marcus its a crime?
"Cause it was her party? Who's did you think it was" oh. I always thought that if she had a party she would be listening to Mozart and eating carrots.
"I dunno. That boy who told everyone to go"
"That's her cousion"
"Oh." Well fuck me.
"Yeah. So errm I'll call you later yeah?" he said leaving- no kiss or nuttin?
"Yeah. Omari?"
"Yeah babe?"
"Did she say who did it?"
"She won't talk about it but truss it's a dead man walking ting" I just nodded and hugged him bye.
Kinda peak.
#Aaliyah'
"Aalliyah what happened to you?" Cecilia said following me into the guest room; I had to unlock it with the key I had in my bra because you never know who wants to get frisky and do nastiness on the bed that I'm going to sleep in tonight. I walked in and slammed the door in Cedillas face and locked it. I know it was mean but now wasn't the time for her talks where she would somehow make me see sense and she would be right and I'd be wrong. I actually wanted to cry. It hurt; my whole body hurt; it's like they made it their mission to hit everyplace they could. And I had to go hospital aswell to get myself checked out- I'm hurt not dumb. I've read the stories where someone gets beaten up but feels fine then the next minute they are dead on the floor because of internal bleeding or brain hemmerage. I watch my news.
''If you don't open the door I'll get Sam.''
*
Damn. I should have taken Cecilas threat seriously. I wouldn't tell her what happened so she said that she'll get Sam- I didn't listen and that when all hell broke loose. Sam took one look at me and didn't even bother to ask what happened. He made he's own assumptions and I did say that Sam can't handle me in certain moods. He won't know what to do- he'll either over react- do just won't do anything. No thought process behind his actions. He stopped the party and kicked everyone out- yeah; I know. That's as far as I heard. I wasn't even sure if people were still in the house or not. But one thing I knew?
Omari and Sam aren't finding out jack shit.
I knew that Cecilia was trying to help because for all she could have known someone might have tried stabbing me or something- but right now I wasn't her number one fan.
"What the fuck happened" I looked at Sam but didn't reply.
"Aaliyah babe-did someone hurt you?" Why they trying the good cop bad cop routine? Melvin- he's a LOOONNG story but he's like Omari's Steven to Sam- but MUCH calmer and doesn't laugh at everything. Talking of Steven- where was he?
In the room was Omari- looking me from the corner trying to figure something out I think- or maybe containing he's anger- Cecila; looking glum but rubbing my shoulder and hugging me (do love her) - Sam; fuck me, he was shouting every 2 seconds- Melvyn and Kwali and Kayne' LOL' dunno why their here but Sam probably thought I would open up more around them- seriously?
"Did he rape you?" Sam had been quiet for a while just staring at me and the spoiled dress- Errm who's he? I didn't look at Sam because by now my eye stung when I moved it around- my God if its swollen I'm not leaving this room.
"He did init!" Errrm; heee? Whoo? I couldn't crack now so still I stayed quiet. Omari just left the room- just when I needed him he's gone with the wind.
"FUCKING PUSSY!" Sam jumped up
"Calm down .Who are you talking about?" woohoo! Melvyn asked Sam just what I was thinking.
"That Nayhum guy that tried to start a fight. He's the one that did this int!" Sam was shaking he's index finger in my face he was so certain- like a conspiracy act was going on around him. Omari came back in the room silently and sat down in a chair- no one said anything except for Sam cursing Nathan with all names under the Sun.
"It wasn't him" Omari said dully.
"How do you know?"
"Cause he won't do shit to her. To me yeah- but he likes her. He wouldn't touch her unless she got rude to him infront of YPG." Yeah- I comeplety understood the last bit (!)
"Aalliyah?" Kayne's smooth voice swam through the room- if I wasn't hurt I would have smiled to kingdom come. You didn't really hear him talk that much but when you did you just wondered why he didn't do it more often. I didn't look or even move- I was in a state of deep thought but Kayne penitarted though that.
"You not gonna reply- but can you just say now if you were raped cause BMT you got man stressing and that" Kayne sounded so cute when he was 'stressed'. I just shaked my head but didn't move my eyesight from my hands. Sam sat down and rubbed he's for head- he always did that when he wasn't a very happy bunny.
The door exploded open and an eruption of noise from another room swept my head up. Steven was standing there with he's phone in he's hand. He's screen flashing and vibrating violently. He looked at Omari and Omari left the room. Back to silence.
"Do you know him?"
''Di you see he's face?''
''where did it happen?''Sam was still convinced to get me talking and he kept asking questions every mintue- even if I wanted to I wouldn't have got a chance to even reply. We had been sitting there for a couple of mintues me under interigation when once again the door opened but instead of Steven- he was replaced by an angry bull that looked ready to wreck a city- otherwise known as Omari when he's angry.
"Can I talk to her in private?" Omari said looking directly at me- I could feel him burning though my skin. They all left looking at me and Omari; God have mercuy- why did they leave? Did they not know he's anger goes in a second? Omari was taping him figer against he's thumb- trying to calm down. He closed the door and locked it. Ohhh F-c-u-k Me.
"So are you gonna tell me what happened now?" He said dragging a chair and sitting right in front of me. When I didn't reply he gently lifted my chin to face him. I can't see anything in anyone's eyes- but he's eyebrows said it all- he was worried but angry.
He knew I hated intermit moment between me and him- espicalley now when he had a girlfriend. I stood up and limped over to my desk. I had been doodling with Sam last night and there was papers all over my bed. I limped to my bed and picked up some papers. Fcuk my bad hand eye co-ordination- I got a paper cut on my pinkie because I rushed and didn't think it would be smart to pick up one by one. I shrieked quickly in a high tone and started at the tiny blood coming out. Sigh- I wasn't one to suck my own blood- no Twilight out here.
""Lemme see?" Omari was behind me and took my hand. I dint protest just wacthed him as he looked at the blood and started laughing. Even in this state I could still screw you.
"Its a paper cut and your gwarning like you've shot?" He said smiling at me. Sorry- I take loosing blood very seriously. He saw my serious expression.
"Do you want me to kiss it better?" He said looking at me. I looked away- he wouldn't dare- lil nasty.
He put my pinkine in his mouth. I didn't look but I could feel he's warm mout over the top half. He sucked it- I swear when it comes out there's going to be no blood left in my hand. I seriously under rated Omari- nasty his middle name- of cousre he would do that. I didn't know how to react; infact I didn't want to react. I liked it; I closed my eyes and tried to stop myself from laughing.
"I'll move onto your boobs if you don't start talking" he said finally moving my hand from he's mouth. He was smiling but I know he had a serious expression- I remebr the last time I called Omari up on a bluff at school and long story short he started happily moving he's hand up my skirt like people weren't there? Still I remained quiet- secretly ejoying myself. He shrugged he's shoulders and put my pinkie in my unexpecting mouth. I think this is a sexual act of some sort;
"Keep it there or your gonna lose gallons of blood" he said sarcastically when we both knew he was enjoying this. He helt my hand there just incase I decided to move it.
"Do you wanna sleep? Nod or sutting?" I nodded slowly. At least I wouldn't have to talk to Sam. He picked up the papers- without getting a paper cut- and put them on the side- dragging me with him. He opened the bed covers and took the brand new PJ that were resting on my pillow. Another one of Katys gifts- but it looked like something she would buy- or what I would wear when I'm home alone sleeping. Its winter! And you decide to buy me a satin and lacy PJ set; shorts and vest?
Am I the only one aware of the weather?
"Put it on. There's no other ones" Omari said before I could even try looking for any other ones - he smilied looking the PJ- they weren't even that bad. But it wasn't something I would wear and walk around a house with boys in. I screwed him and picked them up- I would find a robe somewhere.
"Everyones outside and if you leave there gonna bombard you with questions" samrt boy. This room had no en suite. I looked at Omari- time to bounce monkey.
"If I go who's gonna nurse your wound" Omari said batting he's eye lashes.
"I'll turn around man" there was no arguing- espically now that I wasn't talking. I hadn't even tried talking but I could feel some cuts around my mouth and inside it- when I talk its going to hurt. Omari moved to the other side of the room and covered he's hand. I quickly got to work- un zipping heels first them my dress and stepped out.
"Don't piss me off" so much for keeping a promise. I could actual kill Cecila right about now- I was wearing some pants- not thongs- and knickers that she bought me. When I say she dressed me today- I meant literaily from head to bra to pants to toe. It was a hot purple and lacy. -.- ; my pet hate. But when Cecila was on something- she was on something.
I looked down and saw that one side was now a hot red that you could even see in my skin complexion and the skin was a bit risen. I didn't even want to touch it to see if it hurt. Omari walked to me looking at all the bruises. And then me. He took my hand slowly- I flinched when he touched my right one- I could move it but it still actually hurt a lot. He looked at me and tried again but more softley;
"I can listen in the morining" he didn't say 'you can talk' he said he'll listen. I had a content smile, he always knew what to say at the right time. He slowly pulled me in for a hug; even though I was in langeire- I didn't resist. A hug- just what the doctor ordered.
"You still got a banging body" he said laughing holding my waist. If I was in the mood to talk he would have got a good cussing but right now I just needed comfort. Omari started walking forwards toward the bed, making me walk backwards- but instead of him dropping me in bed; he picked me up from my feet like a wedding couple and put me in bed.
"Scooch up" what? :/ ; thanks for the hug yeah but you have a home to go to with a bed right?
"I'm not sleeping in the same room as Kayne like he don't snore- I'm not gonna try anything man" he said laughing. I moved to the farthest part of the bed and put my hand in front of my body- if anything penitrated it I would know.
"Move your russ hand. Do you think your some human radar?" He said screwing me sriously. I moved it and closed my eyes. I had to sleep on my back because the side that didn't hurt meant that I would be facing away from Omari, not my mission and the other side was the bruised one.
"I'm cold mummy" fool. I ignored him.
"Do you want a bed time story" yessssssssss! Ahh I love them! Especially his! They were always about adventures of the Mr Jones' and Mrs Jones; appreatnly what me and him are going to do when we get married.
"You know your smiling inside- today were gonna have a flashback. To when Mr Jones first met Mrs Williams "Omari said almost in a whisper. Talk louder!
"If you can't hear move closer" he said scooching along. I felt comftable around him- completely- but if I was he's girl I would be pissed; in bed with he's half naked ex girlfrined. Hey! Why am I even still in my pants and knickers- damn; and I can't be bothered to get out of bed and change aswell. He scooched all the way to me and looked down on me smiling. Leaning on he's arm- making he's biceps look even bigger; ahh drool.
"So Mr Jones was talking to he's noble steed- Stevenoo- when all of a sudden Mr Yelper- the evil wizard banned him from the kingdom. Mr Jones didn't care but when the beautiful princess was told to escort him to the deep dark woods- Mr Jones was susddenly happy. After seeing the evil Head of Year; Mr Jones dragged up the courage to talk to the Double DD breasted princess" lier. I'm defo not Double DD. He carried on with he's story; sometime stopping to laugh at he's own un-funny joke.
"Aaliyah look at me" I turned to my side sucking up the pain.
"I know you haven't had the best day but happy birthday!" I smiled at him; sweet lil negro.
"And we've had our ups and downs and there times I swear I could kill you and I haven't even talked to you for a full year but Big Man Ting I got a lot of love for you. You are annoying and you like to argue and we sometimes don't talk for weeks on end but truss 2011 gonna be diffrent. I know everyone says that their gonna change but I seriously am. Like I'm gonna start caring about school- get my realtionships sorted get Chloe and the baby sorted" -I closed my eyes; should I tell him what I know? But I promised Michelle not to say anything' mhhhh' I'll talk to Cecila or something.
"And I love you Aaliyah Jenifat Williams" Omari genuiley smiled looking down at me. My hearyt actually warmed- like he would kame me smile by just thinking about him and yeah our realtionship was extremly fcuked & weird; I liked it.
I had feelings for Omari?
I actually truthfully don't know- I don't know if its friendship or realtionship
"I love you too Omari Joseph Jones" I had to look up because SOME of us are an average height whilst others are like the Eifel tower.
"Its talks!" Omari said laughing. He peked my lips but it carried on to a kiss- onto a kiss with tougnes. My heart was beating like a drum and no I haven't forgeten all the things he's done but I only live once- I don't want to waste it wondering what if? I forgot about the bruise and I tried to put the warnings to bed. Right now all I know is I had Omari in a bed- with me. I turned around on the side that didn't hurt- my back facing away from him and as he promised he didn't try anything- at all.
I sat there thinking what to do. Revenge wasn't trhe answer and how was I even meant to get revenge on about 10 girls on my own? I wasn't gonna sit there like a peanut but I didn't want a reapet of this- again- ever. I touched my head and I this there was a nuclear explosion in my brain; I removed it as fast as I put it there. Lord knows what I should do. Omari? He's just gonna hit anyone in he's path- Sam? My dear God I pray fopr however would piss him off next. If My Mum found out she would sue the shit out of whoever done it; infact she would probably try and sue their great great grandads for everything they own- down to the last crumb if cement in their homes. And Ceilca would take out some spears she got from SA and do some grevious bodily harm; and the twins. I actually don't know where I stand with them? We friends because of the people we both hang around with- if I didn't know Cecila or Omari I wouldn't have meet them cause they never came around my house when Sam was there.
''Aalliyah?''
''Yeah hun?''
''By tomorrow it'll all be sorted. I promise''
''how do you know that?''
''I saw the video.'' If I could I would seriously eat my heart out, it was playing boxing on my ribs.
Tomorrow?
FML.
YES ITS SHORT!
BUT I'm WORKING ON THE NEXT DAY- ITS GONNA BE BIG POPPIN
¬COMMET pleaseee :)
Next One?
Gimme a couple of days'
