Once In A Lifetime (Sequel to Secrets)

It all comes crashing down

Mia's Pov

I was very thankful for the trip to New York. When we got there, we checked into a fancy hotel with a doorman. We were so tired from the flight. All of us were so dead to the world. We all checked into our rooms and went our separate ways.

Once I got to my room I collapsed onto my big king size bed. It felt so soft and comfy. 😍

All my thoughts were ruined when I got a knock at the door. When I opened it I wanted to pass out. It was Alex in the flesh.

"What are you doing here?"

"I missed you." Says Alex

"Please you haven't talked to me in months. You have a lot of explaining to do."

"Baby I'm sorry about hurting you. I didn't mean to get you on drugs either. I feel like a jerk. You deserve much better." Says Alex

"How did you find me?"

"You know you can't get away from me. I know everything and I see it all." Says Alex

"Hey let me in." Says Sunshine

"What the hell why is she here?"

"I missed you too." Says Sunshine

"Please both of you just leaves. I'm tired and I want to be alone." 😭

"I knew she was gonna act like this." Says Alex

"Go sit down." Says sunshine

"No get out of my room."

"Sit down now before we beat the shit out of you." Says Sunshine

"I know you stole my money and my drugs. See I was being nice now you're gonna get it. Tie her up." Says Alex

"No please ill give you whatever you want. Please don't hurt me. " 😫

"Snack." Alex back hand slapped me. I fell over and my head nearly hit the floor. My head was spinning and my cheek was on fire.

"I told you to be quiet." Says Alex

Sunshine grabs me by my hair and ties me to the bed. Then they put duct tape on me.

I know I'm about to die. 😐😓

"Now if you give us what we want you'll live. I can kill you right now. My gun is loaded and I'm dying to use it." Says Alex

I can't believe this I don't wanna die. Why did I have to steal and be bad. I pray someone comes for me soon. My girls will be looking for me soon. So maybe ill leave. They go through my stuff and take all my money and jewelry . They took turns beating me. I was so sore. The room service came and they called the police. I was just thankful I'm alive. My face was black and blue. My eye was swollen shut and my lip was busted and had a cut. My arms had bruises all over them. I even had a bald spot from when Sunshine grabbed my hair. I'm thankful they didn't rape me.

When my friends found out they went crazy. I gave a good description of Alex and Sunshine. I pray that they don't come back for me. I know this time they're gonna kill me. The hotel gave me another room. I have a police officer at my door at all times. I feel much better. Craig and Chris, and Jacob promised me they would get Alex. They put a word out on him. So I know I was in good hands. Maybe having thugs as friends isn't a bad thing. 😱

I stayed in my room most of the time. I didn't want people staring at me. My bruises were bad and my eyes were healing slowly. I have nightmare every night. It got so bad that I had to take sleeping pills. I couldn't even enjoy myself because I kept looking over my shoulders. Terrified that Alex and Sunshine would find me. Why do I have such bad taste in men. I wish I never met Alex. He defiantly fooled me. He never hit me until I moved in with him. Aaliyah was right I wish I had listened. I thought I learned my lesson after Rick. Maybe I'm cursed or something. 😨

My friends try to cheer me up. It doesn't help I'm just really scared. I can't wait to go back to Miami. I need to see my therapist. I need a hook up too I need my fix. I gave in and had Jacob give me some of his coke. It was the only thing that calmed me down. I know my friends would be disgusted but now I don't care. They don't know how I feel. I've been through so much. It seems like I can't be happy. I give up and fall into the trap. I wanted to feel num. so I took more of my pills. I was knocked out by 8:00.

I don't remember waking back up. I hear voices.

"Mia please wake up."

"Mia can you hear me?"

I can't remember whose that is. I wish they would go away. I just wanna stay down here.

I wake up and see myself in a sterile hospital. I'm hooked to a IV. I see all these wires. I look over and see Aaliyah.

"Yay my best friend is alive." Screams Aaliyah she hugs me so tight.

"What happen to me?"

"You overdosed on pills. The maid found you passed out on the floor. You must have been there for hours. I'm just glad you're alive. Don't scare me like that again." Says Aaliyah

"I'm thirsty."

"I'll go get you some water." Says Aaliyah

I needed some time alone to think. I can't believe I tried to kill myself . My life is a mess and maybe I wanted to end it. I don't feel there's any reason worth living. I wish I hadn't been saved. 😩😒👏👏

I don't wanna live this life.

"I got your water." ☺ Says Aaliyah

I take the water and drink it. The cold water feels good against my throat. I'm pretty sure I ruined everyone's time here.

"Hey why you look so sad?" Asks Aaliyah

I don't say anything for a long time.

"I just wanna be alone right now. I'm going through a lot. Please don't take it the wrong way. I just need time I'm a mess. There's some things I gotta fix. For one I need rehab. Now I have no choice either I go to rehab or they put me in a mental hospital.

Aaliyah left but not without hugging me first. She promised me she would come see me everyday. She also told me the others were giving me space. I felt bad for being mean. I just have so much on my plate. My thoughts of Alex and Sunshine were gone. I happy to hear that Sunshine is out of town. Alex well lets say Craig handled it. I was a little scared about Sunshine. I know she'll come back for me. This time ill be ready for her. I'm tired of running I can't do it anymore. I'm not gonna end my life. I realized God kept me alive for a reason. Everything I've been through only made me stronger. So I'm not gonna give up. Next time I see her it's going down. I blame her and her sorry ass brother for my downfall. Karma is a bitch. I have a feeling she'll be getting hers soon. I know she's gonna want to mess with Jacob. Especially since him and Aaliyah are done. Aaliyah is with Daniel now and they're going strong. I just hope it lasts.

The next day I'm finally able to eat. I'm gaining my strength back slowly. The doctor told me once I left the hospital I had to go to rehab. I just went along with it. My friends will be so proud of me.

A few weeks later I find myself in rehab. The place is beautiful and the people are nice. I've made a few friends. I even met this guy. He's really nice and cute. He's tall Carmel complexion, hazel eyes and dimples. He kind of reminds me of Alex. The only difference is Alex was black and Puerto Rican. My new friend Will is all Black. We spend everyday together. I don't know what I would do without him.

As the weeks go by I see my life turning around. I feel happy for once in my life. I don't ever want to touch another drug in my life.
