MISSING!

Chapter Two

MISSING!

Going to Teesha's place, I was just so lost and wasn't aware of anything happening around me, I just looked out the window despondent. Thoughts flashed through my head and my Sinuses started acting up, then Laila asked me

"Girl, what the hell is wrong with you? You look like 'a wet weekend' and I'm surprised cause you supposed to be the one acting like 'a dog with two tails'" Laila inquired with true intentions

"And why is that?" I quickly replied trying to kill the topic with my attitude

"Well, I don't know, maybe 'cause your parents let you come out today! You ain't fine bruh and I can see that" Laila assumed blamelessness

"Oh, and I heard you are still in a fight with Kaffy. Gaby see, Kaffy's your day one bitch and she been there for you through thick and thin. She understands you. I don't know what the hell y'all s fightin' bout', but one thing's certain; Besties are besties, there ain't nothing that's gonna change that. They ain't easy to find, but they're effortless to lose. Don't make a mistake you gonna regret " Laila preached, knowing fully well she couldn't do what she spoke of, although they were of genuine wisdom

"Whatever Laila, besides I'm fine" I just replied with disregard

"No, you not. But whatever the hell's wrong with you bitch, you better get rid of it, ASAP!" she was so difficult and persisted

"Oh please Laila, let me be would you? I ain't gat Yoh boo do I? so what's Yoh sweat?"I shunned

"What the f*ck!! Can y'all hear this bitch right now? Who the hell gave you the right to bring Bryan into this, huh? Don't get me pissed Gabriella!" She took it too far

At this point, Teesha looked behind.

"Ok y'all calm down back there, this ain't the time for a ruckus. Any more word from any of you, imma gonna kick Yoh asses out of my car!" Teesha warned strictly, acting like a mum

"What the hell's with this commotion, this is Bullshit!" Brenda equally got pissed

"Tell that to your friend over there. She started it!" Laila gestured to me and tried to act like I didn't exist

"Oh please, spare me that crap" I shunned, not ready to hear anything of that sort

Teesha pulled over.

"Aiit, who the hell is ready to get the f*ck outta my car!" Teesha was really surprised and outraged at their behavior because she saw them as being childish. Though she kept it in check.

No One was ready to get down.

"It's alright Teesh, I'll handle it" Brenda assured, leaving Teesha to feel a tad bit relieved

"Laila, come over here. Gaby stay put" Brenda scooched over and stayed in between us

Teesha git back on the road.

"Now you both are gonna have to go through me to have as much as an argument"

"Laila, what about Bryan, when did you last see him?" Teesha asked again!

"Oh really? What a nice way to tease me, you wanna be like Gaby huh? Go on, but it won't last for long, I promise you".Laila felt betrayed sort of

"What the hell? Tease you? How'd you mean?" Teesha felt her intelligence provoked

"Oh c'mon, don't act daft, I let y'all know that I hadn't been able to reach him for a month yet you asked, and I'm sure to mock me"

"No no Laila, on the contrary, I never knew. Take heart sweetheart, there are a lot of fishes in the river, a lot in the sewer too"Teesha always had a great sense of humor

Some of them giggled

"Ha - ha. Funny! Lil' missy here was the to last to see and talk to him, I keep askin' her, but she weaves the topic aside each and every time" She gestured to Gaby, but she turned deaf ears and blind eyes

"Oh wow! Gaby, is this true?"Teesha asked

There was silence for a while as they awaited for Gaby to respond. Teesha later found out that Gaby was really lost in thought

"Gaby? Gaby?" Brenda called on but to no avail

I was so lost in thought, you could say I was two worlds away, and at this time, I had gotten a series of texts and calls from Father and Mother. I was so dead!

Just then, I got a call.

"Hello?.. yes dear. So sorry I'm late, something came up. Can you please come pick me up? Yeah, I'll be waiting at the restaurant before Coldies oldies mid west" I told him

"Heyo, em girls? I'mma drop off soon. As you must have heard, drop me off at Coldies oldies, stat!" I told em'

"Looks like somebody suddenly tried to bloom or jump outta her comfort zone" Teesha took the opportunity to jeer at me

"Ai - ai Captain, we's Gon do as you ordered with immediate effect " Teesha mocked

"Where is she going this time around?" Brenda asked, giving me a sheer look as she simpered

" Nowhere girls, ignore me" I plainly stated but they didn't even hear. It was like pouring water on stone!

"One thing dear, are your parents aware of this little expedition of yours?" Brenda inquired

"Not at all, and they shouldn't be" I plainly stated my preference

"So, definitely they'll get through to us some way or the other, then, what are we to do and say?" Teesha asked

"Do not pick up! Simple, Period! Besides, I ain't gonna take long" I stamped this so hard it'd stick

"She's gonna meet someone quite special for us not to know huh? My baby girl's in love" Brenda and Teesha give each other a funny look and wink then they giggle.

" Ha! Love? Oh please, screw that!

Oh yeah, don't forget we're approaching Coldies oldies" I remind them

"Sure sure sweetheart. Should we wait on you?" Brenda asked

"No, there won't be any need for that, Thank you. I think I'll meet you guys up at your place once I'm done or at the gaming shop. Either of them, just - y'all will see me" She assured

She highlighted

They asked themselves;

Where could she be going and with who?
