Chapter 2
After laying on the couch for a couple of hours my friends finally came over. I was
grateful in a way because I was getting a little too deep in my thoughts. I got up
on like the fourth ring and opened the door.
"Waz good"
" 'Bout time you opened the door damn Chris"
That would be Kiara's loud ass, I loved her boldness because sometimes it got us
out of some tough situations but other times I just wanted her to stfu.
"Good afternoon to you Kiara..sup Dru, Sup Trey"
"Waz good nigga I saw you running back from the court this morning, you gotta show me that shit you pulled when you doubled back and crossed"
"In time young one...in time lol"
"Yeah whatever lol"
"Yo you got something to eat ?"
"Damn ya'll always hungry, eating me out of house and home everytime you 2 come over but yeah go in the kitchen and get what u want"
Trey and Dru...AKA Crunch and Munch. They were like bottomless pits but they
were mad cool, always had my back and I had theirs no matter what.
"Geez if the greedy boys would move I would come in the house to say hey to my Chris lol"
"Thats what im sayin lol"
Shalin...now don't get it twisted we were just friends but deep down I know
she wanted more just as much as I did but we never hooked up. She was the first
person I met when I came here and she knew everything about my past and why
I am the way I am. When she walked in we pulled each other into an embrace and
our usual kiss on the cheek. From someone on the outside you would think we
were married, but we were just friends. Honestly the only time I slept was when
she would stay over....she was in a way like basketball...my salvation. She
thought for me and gave my brain a chance to rest and I loved her for that and I
mean love in every sense of the word. We held each others hand and started to
walk into the den where everyone else was when she stopped me...
"You didn't sleep last night did u?"
"How did u kn-"
"I know u like I know myself...I see it all in your face, your dad sent you another gift didn't he?"
All I could do was shake my head, she did know me all too well and with her, I
didn't mind that at all.
"Shalin can you-"
"My backpack is in the car you don' even have to ask lol"
"Damn you just invited yourself, how do you know I wasn't gonna ask you to do my laundry?"
"Because pigs aren't flying and Whitney Houston isn't sober lol"
I laughed at her silly ass and we went into the Den with everybody else. Dru had
Kiara on his lap and and Trey was busy texting Nikki, I forgot she was away at her
grandparents house this week, but with Trey you would think she moved to
Antartica for a year..his bill is gonna be high as hell lol.
"So geeks what are we doing today" Kiara smirked
"I was shooting for your momma lol" Trey whispered loud enough for us to hear it.
Everybody started laughing and Dru held Kiara down before she whooped Treys
ass. Finally after arguing about our plans we decided to just chill at my house and
watch some movies. Since Dru was the bootleg king we never really went to the
movies anymore...After hours of food, arguments, more food and some madden
and live Crunch and Munch and Kiara left leaving me and Shalin. She walked out
to get her bag while I cleaned up and started thinking when I accidently knocked
over a glass.
Flashback:10 years ago
::Glass Shatters::
"Uh-Oh"
"CHRIS?!"
I instantly freeze as I hear my daddy scream my name, I was trying to clean up
and accidently dropped his glass. As he storms down the hallway I start shaking
because Im afraid of my daddy and I know hes gonna be really mad at me.
"Chris WTF is wrong with you, what did you break that glass for?!!!"
"I was...t..trying to clean it up but I...I ...I-"
Before I could even finish I got backhand up against the table and fell forward
onto the glass. I cried as I felt it cut my stomach and quickly jumped up bleeding
from my nose and chest.
"Now clean this shit up then clean yourself up and take your clumsy ass to bed, you tell your mother and you'll get another slap you hear me?"
"Yes daddy"
End Flashback
"Chris you ok?"
I look up to see Shalin standing at the door with a worried look. I dont know how
long she was standing there but it must have been long enough for her to watch
me relive my past. She didn't ask any questions, she would do that later. She
helped me finish cleaning up and then she took a shower downstairs while i did so
in my bathroom upstairs. I put on some basketball shorts and a beater and layed
down on my bed and soon after Shalin joined me wearing sweats and a tshirt. She
motioned for me to lay my head on her lap as she rested against my
headboard...she gently rubbed my head while i grabbed her other hand and
interlaced my fingers with hers.
"What were u thinking about?"
Just hearing the tone in her voice made me weak... i told her in detail about
everything that I thought about and quickly wiped the tears pouring out of my
eyes as I spoke. The scar left from that night on my chest began to sting as if it
were reopened and I felt her pulling me into my arms...my place and in this
position we slept.........I slept.

Couldn't help but get a lil' misty-eyed for a minute there. ::sniff sniff::
