"You good?" Amari asked. "Yea I'm good." I mumbled getting my bag.
"Girl, I would've did the same thing." Shauni said.
"Right, glad somebody beat her ass and put her in her place." Trinity agreed.
I ignored them and walked over to where Brielle was as she was staring off into space. Even though they agree with what I did I'm not the type to talk shit after a situation.
"Do you have a way home?" I asked and she shook her head crying.
"Come on, I'll take you." I stood up.
"I can't go home." She continued crying.
"You can stay with me for the night I won't mind." I offered and she stood up and followed me.
"Bye y'all" I mumbled and continued walking to the parking lot.
Once we got in my car Langston was running up to my car but I wasn't surprised.
"I took care of it, you straight." He said.
"Okay, I'm just about to go home I got a headache." I said.
"Ight pick up the phone when I call you." He walked away.
I pushed the push start button and backed out of the parking lot.
"Chantelle, I'm sorry I didn't mean for this to happen." She said.
"It's okay, stop crying it's not your fault."
"But it is, I should've been more responsible, you told me not to trust them and I didn't listen." She wiped her tears.
"Your 19, Bianca is 24 or 25 she knew what she was doing and she took advantage of that. She knew you wouldn't pay attention. She knew you would listen to her and she took advantage of that." I said.
"But yes, you do have to watch what you do and what others around you do. You could've overdosed because of her." I said.
"That's why I felt like I needed to do what I did and I would do it again if I had to. She's a fucked up person for that and she needed to know that." I said.
"Thank you." She said.
"You're welcome, what's the deal with your mother? If you don't mind me asking." I stopped at a red light.
"She doesn't care for me like that." She mumbled.
"What you mean?" I asked.
"She's disgusted with me I guess." She shrugged her shoulders.
"What about your dad? Is he around?" I asked. "He um...I don't know him. He took advantage of my mom and that's how I was born so that's why she can't stand me." She played with her hands nervously.
"I'm sorry to hear that. She shouldn't blame you for that." I said. "You hungry?" I asked.
"I guess so." She Answered.
I started to drive towards Chick-fil-a. I promised Langston the first day he introduced me to Brielle that I would look after her and that's what I'm gone do.
I knew she needed guidance but hearing what she just told me and what happened today, I know she's fed up and tired. She needs even more guidance.

When we got to my house I threw away our trash and got some towels and extra clothes for her.
"You can sleep in the guest room, and the guest bathroom is right down the hall." I said.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it." She hugged me and I hugged her back.
"Alright I'm going to my room, come to my room if you need me" I said as I walked to my room. I went to my bathroom and took a long hot shower then laid down in my bed.
As soon as I was dozing off Langston FaceTimed me. "Hello." I said tiredly.
"You got home safe?" He asked.
"Yea." I answered.
"You gone tell me about tonight?" He asked.
"Can we talk about it tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yea,You falling asleep on me?" He laughed.
"Yeah bye, Goodnight." I dozed off.
"Goodnight, I love you." I think I heard him say, but I was off to a deep sleep so I wasn't sure and wasn't tryna figure it out.

When I woke up I was still on the phone with Langston seeing that he never hung up after i said bye. I took my phone with me as I did my morning routine. After I was done I went to check on Brielle and she was still sleeping so I left her alone.
I went back in my room and got on my laptop so I can do my work and study. I go to a an esthetician school and I'm almost done with it thankfully. Once I'm done with school I'm done working at the club and I'm going to work as an esthetician.
"Bout time you up." Langston looked at the camera.
"I been up what are you talking about?" I said.
"You on mute dumbass." He said.
"Oh, shut the fuck up." I took myself off mute.
"You ready to talk?" He asked.
"No." I mumbled.
"Talk to me." He said. I can't lie he sounded so fine but that's not the point right now.
"Ight so I was getting ready to leave since I already counted my money and got dressed right. Then, Bianca walked in with Brielle and she looked cross faded." I started off.
"Then I looked at Bianca and she looked normal so I went over to Brielle and ask her what did she take and she pulled out some cocaine." I explained.
"Cocaine?" He scrunched his face up.
"My exact reaction, then she was telling me how she saw her put something in her drink." I explained.
"So then that's when we started fighting." I said.
"You know you fucked her face up right." He smirked.
"Good." I said.
"Oh I wanna ask you something." I said.
"Why you sound innocent, go ahead." He laughed.
"Ight so you know how my parents been wanting me to meet my siblings right." I asked.
"Yeah." He answered.
"My momma is having a dinner on Friday with everybody and she wants you to come." I said all in one breath.
"If you want me to come I'll come." He said.
"Yes." I looked at him. "Ight-" he got cut off by a knock on my door.
"Come in." I said. "Um, I'm gone call you back." I hung up and Brielle sat down. ____________________________________ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭💬
