My Queen For A Day | Book One

Chapter 20

Keyona

My tattoo hurts like a bitch, but the guy wrapped it in this paper or something. I sit on my couch, but I get up as I remember this was spot my mom told me Vic only wanted me for my body. I walk around, and I grab some cereal, turning on some tv. I see that Danny Phantom is on, and I smile as I remember watching this when I was a kid. Next is spongebob.

I sit on the floor and watch tv, the day growing longer and even more lonely. My eyelids droop, but I force them awake. I didn't want to sleep. This house was just too creepy at night.........

Shit, I fell asleep, I think when I wake up. I look at my wall clock. It was ten o'clock. I get out my phone, and I call Vic, wanting to know how the concert went. He picks up, and I know he drank again. I sigh.

"Hello?" He says, slurring.

"Vic, it's me." I say. I hear him snort.

"Oh, you." He says, disgusted. I cringe. Did he really just say that?

"Vic, are you okay?" I ask.

"Why the fuck would you care? Remember, you're Tony's best friend." He spits.

"Vic, Tony and aren't-" I try to explain, on the verge of tears.

"No, fuck it, fuck you! I'm done, Keyona, so done." He yells. I'm speechless, as the hot tears fall down my face.

"Bye, Vic." I say. He doesn't say anything as he hangs up.

I sit there, disgruntled. He was drunk, I think over and over. He didn't mean it. My mom was not right. I look left and right, numb. Everything is slow. Everything means nothing anymore. I walk in the kitchen, numb. My brain is foggy, and if can't think as I think about Vic Fuentes dumping me. I see a razor I used to cut up my apple today, and I run it over my skin, feeling the cold blade.

Tony's going to be pissed, I think, but I don't care. Tony's the reason I'm in this jam. He's the reason Vic and I aren't together anymore.

I cut myself for the first time, the blood running down my arm and onto the counter.
