I Almost Got Away With It ~ Mindless Behavior

Uh Oh

**** SIX MONTHS ****

"Before we go shopping, I have to rehearse with the guys. You coming?" Roc asked. I scratched my eyes and contemplated the question. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Aight, me and the guys will be waiting for you outside." He said exiting the room.

I rolled out of bed and grabbed the plastic bag from under the bed. I carried it with me into the bathroom and began my hygiene routine.

I especially needed the shower, I was sweaty all over from having a nightmare last night.

I could never release the baggage that I carried from six months ago. I had nightmares every night leaving me to wake up in a cold sweat and crying. The dreams were so vivid I even considered expunging sleep altogether.

I haven't completely broken away from being under Roc's shadow, but I was starting to become friends with Princeton. He was just as interesting as I thought when I first met him and he was an amicable guy. We liked a lot of the same things and he even got me listening to Nirvana.

Ray Ray was like the older brother I couldn't stand most of the time. Ray Ray was funny and a goof ball, but he played too much sometimes. Just like a normal big brother. He was almost like another Roc, except Roc didn't irritate me.

Miles was like a little brother to me. He was playful and goofy like Ray Ray, but he was really nice and fun to hang out with when it's just him and I. Only annoying thing is, he thinks he's a ladies man -_-

Prodigy was really quite sometimes. And I liked that about him. He didn't need to be wild and outspoken like Ray Ray to be different, being quiet was what separated him from the rest of them. When he and I were together it was calming. I was sure that he'd be the one to calm me down when I lose it,

All the guys are cool I guess, but Roc was my rock and that wouldn't change. He protected me practically my whole life, what did Princeton and Prodigy and Ray Ray and Miles offer me? They would never know me or my past and that would never be viable to change.

I put my colored contacts in and tied my hair into a bun and then exited the bathroom and went into the living room. The guys were goofing off with Carter as usual and Prodigy was staring at them like they were fools.

I caught eye contact with Princeton and instantly he smiled and walked toward me. He was wearing a Mac Miller Most Dope hoodie and those cut off shorts that looked really good on him.

"Wassup girl?" he asked wrapping an arm around me.

"Nothing much." I answered removing his arm from around me.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked rubbing his hands through his curls.

"Good" I lied. I haven't slept well in months. "You ready to go to London tonight?"

"You know it! I am psyched for London. Did I tell you I got my London flag shoes from there?" he asked smiling.

"Yes, about a hundred times, Princeton." I retorted with a laugh.

"Oh... Well yeah I can't wait to go back to London." he repeated.

He was so weird. We filed off the bus and entered the arena. Roc and Ray Ray walked ahead of Princeton and I, and Miles and Prodigy staggered behind all of us texting like mad.

"Princeton?" I asked as I gazed up at the grey sky.

"Yeah?" he replied copying me.

"Where are we?" I asked looking over at him.

"North Carolina." he answered.

We walked toward the gym and Prodigy pushed the guys aside and opened the door for me.
