What's Done In The Dark

Sad Endings

I woke up in the hotel bed , I had a headache out of this world and somebody was yelling making it worse .

"JUST FUCKIN DO IT ! IM NOT IN THE CITY BITCH JUST TAKE CARE OF THAT SHIT !" Benji yelled through the phone , he was sitting at the edge of the bed on the phone . His shirt was off and his back was facing me .

I sat up in the bed , rubbing my eyes . He didn't even notice he woke me . I crawled over to him and started to massage his back . He let out a loud sigh hanging up the phone .

"It's okay if we have to leave , I understand " I said kissing his neck , he relaxed and laid back into my arms .

He smacked his lips and ran his hands down his face " I don't want to leave , I would have never came out here if I did . I came out here to get away . I really wanted to spend time with you forreal" he said slowly kind of like he was dreading my response

I crawled from behind him to sit on his lap , I laid him back on the bed rubbing his chest .

"I want to spend time with you too , I love when you make time for me " I said kissing him , he smiled but I could tell his mind was still somewhere else .

"Come on let's get dressed , I'm tryna get our day started " I grabbed his hand dragging him off the bed into the bathroom. Maybe this will take his mind off of whatever it is .

Later that day

We just left the mall and now we are headed back to the city , somebody kept blowing up his phone to the point we couldn't enjoy ourselves. I'm honestly mad at the fact that our day was ruined.

We had been sitting in silence ever since he said we were going back to the city , I had a attitude and I didn't want to talk . He tried breaking the silence every once in a while but I just ignore him .

His phone kept ringing Every 5 minutes to the point I snapped . "Answer the Fuckin phone ! " I yelled grabbing it out the cup holder throwing it on his lap . He glared at me answering the phone .

"Bitch why you keep calling me ?"
"Didn't I just say I was coming ?"
"Bro I ain't getting shit , didn't I just give you the money ?" He hung up the phone In frustration I rolled my eyes even more ready to exit stage left .

"What's yo problem bro" he Asked looking over at me

"You my problem! Who tf been blowing up yo phone this whole time Benji ?!? I'm so tired of this shit just take me to my car " I said filing my arms slouching down in the car . He looked shocked at my outburst but I was tired of holding my tongue He pulled over to the side of the road and sighed loudly

" I'm So tired of you acting so stressed out " I yelled at him , he ran his hands down his face

"Mercedes I really don't know how you gone take this and I wanted to tell you this completely different but ..." he got real quiet , now I'm scared because what does he have to tell me ?

"I-I- remember when I went to 8Ball Lounge a few months ago with a few friends of mine who flew in ?" I nodded wondering where this is going
