Chapter 50: Walk Away

 

Cassie’s P.O.V.

“I just gotta grab something from Shad’s and then we can head over to Mere’s,” I told Nicki as we exited the car. I needed to grab my dance bag filled with my things before I never talk to this asshole again. I used my key and we walked in but something felt off. I heard something from upstairs and motioned for Nicki to follow me. When I heard moaning, I grew pissed. I opened the door and was shocked by the sight. I was so shocked that I started laughing. CeeJay jumped off of Shad and they stared at me.

“Sexual frustration my ass,” I went into his closet and grabbed my bag. I knew his ass could be this horrible but I can’t believe that my best fucking friend did this to me. We’ve been friends too many years for her to do shit like this.

“Cass wait,” he tried to touch me but I backed up. I don’t want to be anywhere near him at this moment. He is dead in my mind and disgusting in my eyes. He’s a worse person than I thought he was. To believe that I was contemplating my decision for him makes me hate myself. He’s no better than my ex and I should’ve seen this sooner.

“You better not touch me with your nasty ass hand,” I backed away. I wanted to leave at this very moment. I’m not in the mood for any of his bullshit. How is he gonna try to touch me after he did that?

“I’m sorry,” he sighed.  Sorry my ass. If this is his way to get me back for choosing Paris over him then fine. He finally showed his true colors. It’s like the whole Meyshia situation all over again but ten times worse.

“You’re sorry for sleeping with my best friend? Wow very kind of you Shad,” I left with Nicki quickly. He really thought an apology would make me feel better?

“Are you okay?” She looked over at me. I think I’ll be okay; I’ll have to move on. I’m not even gonna cry over this shit. He doesn’t deserve the satisfaction for hurting me.

“I’ll be fine and it doesn’t even matter because I’ll never see him again,” I let a sad smile appear. I loved Shad with everything in me but now fuck him. I’m walking away from this shit.



Nicki’s P.O.V.

“I think Daven drugged me,” I told Mere and Blake. I couldn’t believe that he would stoop so low to the point where he would drug me. Paris was my dream and now he’s ruining it. I’ll never forgive him for this.

“Are you sure?” Blake raised an eyebrow. I’m not 100% sure that’s it’s him but I’ll be sure to find out.

“I’ll find out,” I got up and headed to his house.

 

Daven’s P.O.V.

I heard knocking at the door and got up to answer it. The knocking started turning into banging and I prayed that it wasn’t Jaymie. I told her ass that you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife. She looked hurt but fuck it. When I opened the door Nicki came marching in with determination. She looked at me for a second before hitting me. “What the fuck Nic!?” She kept hitting me until I finally grabbed her hands and held them behind her back.

“I can’t believe you! How could you do this to me!?” She yelled. She looked extremely emotional and I wonder what got her feeling this way.

“Do what to you?” What the hell is she talking about? I didn’t do anything the last time I checked. Maybe she’s losing her mind.

“You drugged me!” She snapped. I drugged her with what? The strongest drug I got is Tylenol. I don’t mess with drugs because I saw my Dad go through that shit.

“Why would I drug you!?” I let go of her hands and took a step back. Why would she believe that I would drug her? Does she think that low of me? She should know that I would never do something like that to her.

“Because you didn’t want me to go to Paris. You didn’t want a distraction so you drugged me,” she crossed her arms. She seemed so convinced that I drugged her and that made me mad.

“Onika, you know me. I don’t mess with that shit. I would never drug you especially for that reason. I’m glad that you’re gonna be in Paris with me. I’ll know someone and it’ll be fun. Why would I ever ruin your dream for you? If I really couldn’t handle going to Paris with you then I would’ve gone to a different college. You and I both know that’s true,” I told her. She sighed and ran her hands through her hair.

“You’re the only one with those type of pills,” she said and I scrunched up my face. I don’t have pills at all.

“Those weren’t my pills Nicki. Those were Jaymie’s when she was staying here. You know that I don’t mess with those,” I reminded her.

“I’m sorry for accusing you. I just couldn’t think of anyone else,” she sat on the stairs and I went to sit next to her.

“Can you think of anyone who would do it?” I had no idea who would be dumb enough to drug Nicki. She would kill their ass and she can be pretty scary when she’s pissed.

“No but I already talked to my cousin, Jessi. She said that she’ll figure it out. She knows how to figure everything and anything out. I just can’t believe that someone would drug me,” she cried. I pulled her to me and let her cry.

“We’ll find out,” I promised her.

 

Mylan’s P.O.V.

“What are you doing My?” Daddy came into my room at his house. Mommy had to go somewhere so she dropped me off here. I was happy because I don’t get to see him as much as I used to when we stayed here. Now we live with Robby but come over here a lot.

“I’m reading,” I smiled. I wiggled my favorite book in front of him. Mommy used to read this book to me every night until I grew old enough to read it myself. I love this book and the pictures are cool.

“What’s with the umbrella?” He looked at me. What’s wrong with having an umbrella in here? It’s hot and I wanted to cool off. Mommy used it at the beach when it was hot so why not now?

“It’s hot,” I told before going back to reading. I was in the middle of the book and I was determined to finish it.

“Can you read to me?” He asked me as he went to sit on my bed. No one ever asked me that except for Mommy. That made me smile as I nodded my head.

“Sure! Green Eggs and Ham,” I started to read to him. After I was done, he smiled at me. He looked proud of me and I was happy that I made him proud.

“You read really well for your age,” he patted my head. People tell me that and I never knew what that meant. Do other kids my age not read like me?

“Daddy? When Mommy goes to Paris and I go with her, where will you go?” I looked at him curiously. He doesn’t have anything packed and I was confused. He should be going with us so why is he not packing?

“Daddy has to stay here but I’ll visit you all the time,” he promised me. I didn’t want him to not come. He’s supposed to be by my side all of the time but I guess he has to stay here.

“Okay,” I sighed. I guess I’ll just have to deal with phone calls and visits.

Nicki’s P.O.V.

“Are you okay?” Daven asked me as I eyed the text that Jessi sent me. Part of me didn’t wanna believe her but I knew that she never got her information wrong.

“I will be eventually,” I sighed. Daven’s been by my side since I found out. I still couldn’t believe this but I guess it’s true. Everything is starting to add up and that makes me feel mad and hurt at the same time. How could someone so important to me do this?

I packed the rest of my things into the car. Daven helped me put My’s stuff in there also. “I gotta say bye to him,” I gave Daven a look. I would never leave without saying bye to him. I needed that at least.

“Alright,” he nodded. I drove to Aubrey’s house and took a deep breath as I stared at his door. I grabbed my key and opened the door. I saw him over by the couch so I closed the door and joined him.

“Hey baby,” he pecked my lips. I’m gonna miss his kisses but this relationship can’t be saved this time. It’s been going on for too long.

“We need to talk,” I sighed. I hated those four words but I knew that they were appropriate at times like this. I’ve never had to do this so I hope I don’t do it wrong.

“First I’m leaving for Paris early,” I told him. I was supposed to have three more weeks but I decided to go earlier to just get out of New York and all of its memories.

“How much earlier?” He asked me. I turned my head from him and tried to not look at him. His eyes always pulled me back in and I hated that.

“Today,” I stated. Daven, Cassie, and I already agreed that leaving today would be best for all of us. It’s better to just leave now while everything is out and opened.

“You’re leaving today!?” He snapped at me. I knew that he would be mad at me but he had absolutely no right to be mad at me. I should be the one mad at him but I was more hurt than mad at this point.

“I also found out who drugged me,” I turned to look at him. His eyes locked with mine and I tried my hardest to hold my ground.

“Who?” He looked very concerned. That’s very funny how he’s concerned with this shit. He’s an amazing actor and I can’t believe this.

“My best friend,” I let some tears fall. I tried to not say it bluntly and I hoped that he would get the hint because it’s pretty obvious.

“Cassie drugged you?” He wasn’t getting it. He’s really acting like he doesn’t know who did this and that just made my anger rise.

“I know you drugged me Aubrey!” I stood up. I can’t believe that he would go behind my back and pull shit like this. Of all people I would have never guessed Aubrey did this.

“Why would you think something like that!?” He stood up too. I tossed him the pills that I found. He looked at it in shock like he didn’t expect me to actually find that.

“I found them in your closet; the same pills they told me that I took. You’ve been putting it in my water bottle for who knows how long. Why the hell would you drug me!?” I yelled at him. Why would he do this shit to me? I wanted to cry and hit him at the same time.

“I wanted you to stay and that was the only way you would. It was stupid and I stopped doing it. I hoped that it was out of your system before you got your blood work done. I regret it baby and if I could take it back I would have,” he admitted.

“You know the funny thing about this situation is that if you would have asked me to stay; I would have,” I shook my head. I’m mad at myself for thinking about pushing my dreams aside for him but that’s what love does to people.

“You would have?” He looked at me with hopeful eyes. He actually thinks that he still has a future with me? He has to be delusional if he thinks that I would forgive him for that.

“Yesterday I would have,” I slipped the ring off my finger and tossed it at him. “Fuck you Aubrey! You drugging me is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that you would do this to me! You and this childish shit got old real quick. I’m done with the lies and the backstabbing. I’m done with all the bullshit you’ve put me through the whole time that we were together. I’ve lost all my trust in you and a relationship isn’t shit without trust. I’m done Aubrey,” I slammed the door. He ran out.

“Don’t do this Nika,” he begged me. I refused to look at him because I knew right then and there that I would’ve forgiven him. I have to do this for me and leave.

“My will stay with you during the summer and can come during breaks,” I opened my door. I would never take Mylan out of his life even though he’s an ass and I’m done with him. At the end of the day, he’s still her father and I’m not taking that title away.

“Onika please,” he pleaded but I shut the door and drove off. I had to walk away from our relationship. It was toxic and I guess I’m the one who ended up getting hurt. When I got back, Daven immediately wrapped me in a hug. At that moment I finally let my tears fall. I can’t believe that he would hurt me like this. I just can’t do this anymore with him. This back and forth is annoying and tiring. Cassie, Daven, My, and I piled into the car and took off. It was time to leave New York. I want to just to start over and move on.

“You okay?” Daven glanced at me as he drove. I’m not okay at this moment but I think over time I can move past this. I won’t let this stop me from pushing to my dreams. Dancing is my dream and I’m gonna achieve it. No one can hold me back now.

            “I will be,” I nodded my head slowly. I’ll have to learn how to stand on my own two feet without him right by my side. I’ll have to learn to do a lot of things without him but I know that I will. I know that no matter what, I’ll be fine. I just need to walk away and move on so that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
