Chapter 18: Eventful Day Part Two

Justin's POV:

Ever since me and Angel stopped talking, I've been feeling hella depressed. I still go to my after school clubs, I still go to work. I just don't talk much now. As I sat in my room, I thought about Angel. I tried to do other things to keep her off my mind. But all I could think about was Angel. She stayed on my mind. I love her so much. She stays on my mind. I got rid of her clothing after she left my house. I thought I had no use for it now that I know who she was. Mike and Kacey knew I was depressed but depression never stopped me from living my life. I started to go out more and take up hobbies. Hell, Trey took me to two parties and I slept with a few girls but I didn't feel anything towards them. I was having a great time but all I could think about was Angel. I asked Kacey if she ever talked about me buts she said no.

But I think it's because she's been distracted. Kacey has been caught up in her feud with Keisha. I asked Keisha is Angel talked about me but she said no too, though Angel has been sad about something. Mike wanted to help me feel better when I was still tryna get him and Kacey together. I was gonna do that today. Me and Mike went to the park and waited to for Kacey to come. "Man I'm so nervous." He said. "Don't be." I said. "What if she rejects me? What if she tells me off for having a crush on her?" He asked. "Dude, this is Kacey we're talking about. She's never mean unless she has to be. You'll do fine. You should just try to romance her." I said. "How do you know? Your not a wiz with girls ya know. Abby treated you like shit and Angel doesn't even wanna be around you. She's been with five dudes since y'all got into it. That's saying something." He snapped.

I stared at him. He face softened. "Oh my God Justin I am so sorry man. I'm just really nervous." He said, covering his face. "No your right. Point taken." I said. "Hey, if it makes your feel any better, all those dudes she's dated all ended up failing. Even with Colin, it didn't last long." He said. I didn't say anything. "Did it make you feel better?" He asked. "Eh." Was all I said. "Oh God there's her car." He said. We turned our heads to see a orange Ferrari pull up. Kacey got out and walked towards us. "Hey boys. What's up?" She asked, sitting down next to us on the bench. I looked at Mike. He was hella nervous. "Um, Mike?" I said. He cleared his throat and spoke. "Umm, K-Kacey how long have we known each other?" He asked. "Umm, probably since fourth grade." She said. "Okay yeah. So listen. How would you feel if, hypothetically, someone in our clique had a crush on you for the longest but didn't say anything?" He asked quickly.

"Who has a crush on me?" She asked. He didn't say anything. She looked at me but I looked away, scratching me head. "Come on guys. Who likes me?" She asked. We didn't say anything still. "If it's Celia, I already know she wants to fuck me. And I know Colin does too." She said. "Well, it's someone you know." I said, slowly. "Is it Angel?" She asked, curiously. Fuck no girl. "No." I said. I looked at Mike. He was shaking his knee. "Keisha?" She asked, making a face. I sighed in frustration. "Dude if you don't tell her, I will." I said, looking at Mike. "Who has a crush on me?" Kacey asked. "It's me, okay?! I have a crush on you. Kacey you've been my mate since fourth grade dude. I've been in love with you since. Seeing you with all these different dudes, really pisses me off!!!" Mike half yelled. Some people walking by looked at us.

Kacey didn't say anything. She just sat there. "You don't like me? It's okay. I knew it." Mike said. Kacey got up and punched him. Hard. "Owww!!! What the hell was that for?" Mike asked. That's for taking so damn long." She said, smiling. Mike smiled at her. "You knew?" I asked. She nodded. "Oh come one Mike. Every time your around me, you get nervous and act weird. But it's okay cause your cute. Plus, I had a vision about your mate thing with me back in fourth grade. I was waiting to see how long it would take you to tell me. By the way, it shouldn't have taken you eight years to tell your mate that they're your mate." She said. "Told you." I said. She liked at me. "You too. You shouldn't have waited to tell Angel she's your mate. You shouldn't have to wait to tell her how you feel." She said. "Ahh." Mike said, laughing at me.

I stuck my middle finger up at him. Kacey walked over and kissed him. "Aww. Young love." Said a voice. We turned to see and elderly couple looking at us. "Remember when we used to be like that?" The woman asked the man. "Don't bring it up." He said. We laughed at him. Just then, Kacey's phone ringed. She answered it and turns out it was Angel who called her. "Okay. I'm on my way. Later guys." She said. "What did Angel want?" I asked. "She wants me to talk to her about something. She wanna talk in person." She said. She kissed Mike again before walking to her car and driving off. I looked at Mike. He was lovestruck. "Hey, Cassanova?" I called. He glared at me. "Shut up. You just mad cause I got a girl." He said.

I didn't say anything. "Justin man I'm sorry I keep going that route." He said. "Yeah. At first, I let it slide cause that was your pain for Kacey love talking but now I'm bout to punch you in the face." I said. He held up his hands and got up. "You need to go talk to Angel and clear up y'all beef. If not, she's gonna continue to talk to guys and before ya know it, she's pregnant by someone else whose not you." He said, as he walked off. I followed him. "Where you going?" I asked. "I'm going to that new laser game store with Trey and Colin." He said. "I still feel bad for what I did." I said. After Colin went on his date with Angel, I fought him the next day. We're cool now but I still felt bad. "Chill bro. He said he forgives you." Mike said. "Or he might kill me in my sleep." I said. "Yeah or that could happen." He called.

He got in his car and pulled up next to me. "But foreal bro. Talk to Angel." He said, then he drove off. I got in my car and drove off too. As I drove, I thought of ideas on how to talk to Angel. As I drove around town, I spotted Bryant and Stephanie going into a restaurant. Romantic night for them. As I drove past a store, I saw a dog run across the street. He ran right across and over the road to the other side. He meet up with another dog and licked her face. They both ran off behind a store. Even a dog got his girl? Aw come on. I quickly drove home. I pulled up to my house to see someone standing outside the door. It was a man wearing a suit. I got out and approached him quietly. "Can I help you with something?" I asked, startling him. He jumped and turned around. "Geez you scared me." He said, clutching his heart.

"Why are you near my house?" I asked. He stared at me. "Your house? Oh, you must be Patrick King. Huh. You look a lot younger than your age." The man said. Just then, a car pulled up. My Dad and Mom got out, wearing nice clothes. They walked up to us. "Justin?" Mom asked. "Hey man how are ya?" Dad asked. The man looked him up and down. "And how might you be?" He asked. "Who wants to know?" Dad asked. "My name is Charlie. I'm brothers with Bishop Yang." The man said. "Brothers?" I asked. "Well not blood brothers. I was adopted by his family." He said. "So why are you at my house?" Dad asked. "Your house?" He asked. He then looked at me. "You said it was your house?" He said. "I live here." I said, lowly. "Excuse me sir but why are you here?" Mom asked.

"I'm here because AA is expanding. Bishop wanted me to tell a Mr. Patrick King that he is getting a very important mission." He said. "Okay so why were you talking to my son?" Dad asked. "Oh sorry. I thought he was Patrick King." The man said. "No this is my son, Justin King." Dad said. The man looked at me. "I thought so." He muttered. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, stepping up to him. The man took a step back. "I mean that I thought you wouldn't be Patrick King because your so young." The man said. "So why is this mission so important?" Mom asked. The man opened his mouth but looked at me. "It's best to talk about this in private. This isn't really kids business." He said. "In case you haven't noticed man, I'm no kid." I said, stepping up to him. This time he didn't back down. "I see." He said.

"Sir what mission is this?" Mom asked. "I'm sure you've heard of Charles Knavish?" The man asked. "Whose that?" Dad asked. "That's the real name of the notorious criminal you all know as Grey." He said. "That's his real name?" I asked. The man nodded. "Yes. He's been spotted by another AA in Venezuela. I've been told to have Patrick King go there immediately and help take him down." The man said. It was silent after that. "Can I have some time to think about this please?" Dad asked. The man nodded. "Of course but a decision needs to be made come next Thursday." The man said, as he walked past us to his car. "Honey?" Mom called. Dad was lost in thought. "Why are you guys dressed up?" I asked. "Date night." Mom said. "Alicia I don't know. I need time to think this through. But not tonight. Tonight is about us." Dad said.

"We were out to go to dinner but we forgot our credit cards." Mom said. She grabbed them from Dad's den and they both left. I walk upstairs to my room. It had a note in it from Mom and Dad. It said if I got back that they were out to for dinner and that Otis and Alison were at our Aunt's house. I sighed and decided to go to bed. I was restless. I couldn't fall asleep so I watched a movie in my home movie theater. I just picked out a random movie and watched it. Twenty minutes in and one of the characters says the word Angel. I turned to go the bathroom when I got a text from Kacey. It said that I should talk to her or else I'm gonna have to deal with her. That's when I sighed and got up to leave. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. I got in my car and drove off. As I drove to Angel's house, I thought about what I should say to her. I couldn't think of anything in time cause I pulled up to her house.

I got out and headed to the front door. I knocked on the door and the door opened to reveal Keisha. "Hey Harry Potter. What's up?" She asked. "I'm here to see Angel." I said. She smirked. "That's my Harry Potter. I knew you wouldn't leave her high and dry." She said, putting her arm around me. We walked in and I saw Kacey sitting in the living room. "Wha...." I trailed off. "Oh me and Keisha made up. We cool now." She said. "Oh. Good. So, Angel is where?" I asked, as I smelled the air. Her scent is fresh. "She left with Tasha and Celia to go swimming." Kacey said. "Oh. But you should wait for her. She'll be back soon." Keisha said, taking a seat next to Kacey. I watched them watch a show in TV. Something called the Bad Girls Club. "See, this why I can't be on a show like that. Every bitch would've got slapped." Keisha said, earning a laugh from me and Kacey. I looked around. "I'm going to the bathroom." I said, as I got up and went upstairs.

I walked to the bathroom and, did my business, and walked back towards the stairs. On my way, I passed Angel's room. I took a peek inside and saw her room was brightly colored. I walked inside and looked around. I looked at the pictures of her and Keisha on her wall and nightstands. There were pictures of Kacey, Mike, and our whole crew. I looked at Angel's bed. It was big. I sat down on it and felt it was soft. I opened a drawer to her nightstand and saw a picture of us at AA. It was of Annie, Bishop, Bryant, Stephanie, Tasha, Trey, our whole crew. I standing right next to her, smiling. I looked around for more pictures but saw something I never thought Angel would have: a vibrator. I picked it up and stared at it. Well well, seems Angel isn't all that innocent. She sure isn't. I put down the picture and admired the object. I sat down on the bed and toyed with it a bit, seeing how vibrations it had. So far, I counted 47.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, I quickly put the vibrator back in the drawer and walked to the door. "Justin there you are. Boy I thought you fell in the toilet." Keisha said. I chuckled. "Nah." I said, as I walked past her to go downstairs. "Hey guys. I'm out but I'll be back later." I said. I walked out the door and to my car. I drove to a McDonald's and ordered some food. The vibrator stayed in my head. Why would Angel use that? I think the answer lies in the name dude. I mean like why would she have that when she can have the real thing? And who can give her the real thing? I smirked. I ate my food and got on my phone. I heard rumbling above me and looked up. Oh God. Rain. I tried to ignore the rain and concentrate on my phone. I seen a post from Angel that shown she was home now. I also saw a post that I was tagged in.

It was Abby's post. Her caption read: 4 months preggo. Shoutout to baby daddy. I rolled my eyes and started driving back to Angel's house. It had started to pour down then. Please no lightning. Please no lightning. Please no lightning. I pulled up a small seen her car outside. I got out and walked up to the door. I ringed the doorbell. As I waited, my clothes became soaking wet cause of the downpour. The door opened to reveal her. "Angel, can we talk?" I asked. She stared at me then moved out the way. I walked in and saw Kacey and Keisha in the living room. They looked at me. "Whew Harry. Your soaked boy." Keisha said. "Yeah I know." I said. "What are you doing here?" Angel asked behind me. "Angel!!" Kacey said. "What? I asked a question." She said. "He is soaking wet. You could show some sympathy for him." Kacey said. I looked at Angel.

She stared at me. "Come on. Trey got some clothes you wear. You look bout the same size." She said, leading me upstairs. She walked past her room and I looked in it. She opened a door to Trey's room and led me in. She opened a door to his closet and flipped a switch. Lights came on and showed a bunch of different clothes and shoes. "You could pick out any outfit." She said then she walked out. I watched her go. I picked out some sweatpants a t shirt then went back downstairs. Kacey looked at me and winked. "Angel we're gonna go." She said. Angel looked at her. "Why?" She asked. "Me and Keisha wanna get to know each other better now that we're friends again." Kacey said. "Yep. I wanna see how Blondie rolls." Keisha said. "I'll come with." Angel said.

"Girl stay yo ass here. Talk to Harry Potter and quit being a bitch." Keisha said, walking out the door. "Love you Angel!!" Kacey yelled, as she walked out too. Angel glared at them before turning her attention on me. We stared at each other for the longest. "Are you tryna fuck or talk? Quit staring at me like that." She said, harshly. It mad me upset a little bit. I walked down the stairs and walked into the living room. She was in the kitchen doing God knows what but I kept my attention on the TV. This Bad Girls Club show was not that bad. The smell of vanilla got stronger and that's how I knew Angel was coming near me. "Did you come over to talk or watch TV?" She asked. "Can it be both?" I asked, nonchalantly.

She growled at me. That got to me but I didn't say anything. "Angel I didn't come here to argue or pick a fight with you." I said. "Looks to me like you can sit watch TV." She said, sitting down on the other side of the couch. "Actually this was on earlier when I came over. The girls were watching it earlier and it seems good." I said. She didn't say anything. I looked at her to find her staring at me. "Whatchu want Justin?" She asked. This pissed me off. Why is she so damn aggressive with me? "I want to talk." I said, slowly. "Well talk. I'm right here." She said. I looked back at the TV. "Okay first why you so damn aggressive?" I asked. "Cause you won't talk to me." She said. "Why do you think I'm here?" I asked. "Look nigga either y'all or get out." She said. I slowly turned my head at her. She wants to be aggressive. So can I. This day has been an eventful day but it's just getting started.
