Since I hadnt shown up in two weeks, I had Joey drive me to dance class. I thought he was going to go home but I guess he decided to stay because he got out of the car with me.
"Are you staying or you just walking me in?" I asked him.
He looked over at me. "Probably gone stay and watch."
I nodded as we entered the building. I automatically spotted Denzel by the water fountain and ran over to him.
"Denziiiieee!" I shouted as he pulled me into a hug.
"Wassup lil sis. Where you been at?" he asked me with a smile.
"Around" I shrugged. Joey walked up.
"Uh oh. Look who showed up too" Denzel laughed while dapping Joey up.
"Wassup bruh" Joey chuckled. They started talking so I went to go put my stuff in a locker.
The door opened and in walked a person I did not want to see. Shameik. I hurried and got my stuff into the locker before he could get anywhere near me.
I guess Joey and Denzel had already went into the studio so I pushed through the people that were in the hall and made my way in. Denzel was stretching in the middle of the floor and Joey was sitting in a chair in the front corner of the room by the sound stuff.
I walked over to him and sat down on the floor beside him. He looked over at me.
"You better tear shit up today. I'ma be recording you" he grinned.
"Why?" I laughed. Joey shrugged.
"Cause I can" he smirked while licking over his lips. I smirked and looked away due to the tingly feeling I got in my stomach.
I saw Shameik walk in. He made eye contact with me so I looked away quickly. I did not want anything I do to look like an invitation for him to come speak to me.
What he did to me was beyond foul and fucked up and I hated him.
My eyes wandered back to Joey. He was glaring at Shameik.
I guess Denzel was teaching because he started clapping and urging every one to take a spot on the floor.
Shameik walked over near I was by Joey and took a spot. I got up to go to the other side of the room but Joey grabbed my arm and pulled me down to kiss him.
I couldnt control my blushing as I walked to the other side of the room. I also didnt miss the cocky smirk he gave Shameik who had been watching us the whole time.

The class was over so I went out into the lobby to wait for Reggie.
I saw that annoying ass nigga walk out. He spotted me and I dont know what made him think it was okay to come over and say something to me.
"Yo, you Reggie boyfriend right?" he asked me.
"Yeah" I told him. I know I told Reggie we werent together but I was trying to shut down every chance this dude had to get with her.
"You know she aint loyal right?" he laughed. I looked at him like he was crazy. Fuck was he talking about?
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked him.
"She let my bro hit that shit. You aint the only nigga thats in that" he laughed again.
"Repeat that shit..." I had to make sure I heard him correctly. This nigga knew she got raped?
"I said my bro fucked her."
"When?" I asked. If he said last week, I was bout to fuck this nigga up, on my moms.
"My fam threw this party last weeke-" That was all he had to say before I took off on his bitch ass.
"OH SHIT!" I heard Denzel yell as I was fighting. I really didnt care who saw. I didnt care if I was causing a scene. I wanted to see blood.
He could fight, I couldn't lie. But I still had the upper hand and I was beyond determined to do damage to him. All I could feel was pure wrath.
Somebody grabbed me off of him.
I brushed off whoever it was and made my way outside. I passed Reggie on the way. Her and Denzel followed me out. Denzel grabbed my shoulder stopping me from getting to my car. I sucked my teeth.
"What the fuck happened yo? Explain this shit cause i'm lost" he said. I ignored him and looked at Reggie who looked shook.
"Why didnt you tell me?" I asked her.
"Huh?" she asked confused.
"Why didnt you tell me he was there?"
"Because I didnt want THAT to happen Joey. I dont like people fighting" she said like it really bothered her.
"Hellooooo! What the fuck is going on?" Denzel asked again.
"I don't have the right to tell" I shrugged. Denzel then looked at Reggie. She shook her head.
"I dont like talking about it. I wanna go home" she grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the car.
We got in. The drive to the house was quiet. It somehow managed to calm me down from the state of rage I was in.
When we got inside, Reggie went straight to the room. I followed behind her. She kicked off her shoes and laid on the bed.
"Did he witness it?" I asked her.
"I dont think he knew what was happening. He was drunk and super high and walked in right before it happened but walked out. I think he thought we were just about to have regular sex. Either way I hate him because he pushed his friend off onto me in the first place" she said.
"I swear to god Regine, if I see him again, he dead."
"Please dont get locked up over me Joey."
"Its worth it."
She sat up and looked at me. "Nothing is worth losing your life. Whether it be death or incarceration."
"Reggie i've watched too many fucking people that I care about get hurt. That shit is not gone prosper anymore."
Reggie got up and walked over to me. She grabbed my face and pulled it down towards hers looking me in the eyes. "JoVaughn..." She had never said my first name. The way she said it sounded like music to my ears to be honest.
"Yes?"
"I'm going to tell you this the typical black mom way....if you die, i'ma kill you."
I couldnt help the smile that broke out on my face. Hers mirrored mine. "You so dumb Reggie" I laughed.
"You have a nice smile" she said looking me in the face.
I tried to stop it from widening by speaking again. "Thank you for noticing after so long" I joked.
She slapped my chest. "Shut up. Its not my fault you were a grumpy old troll before. You never really smiled til recently."
"I never had anything to smile about" I said truthfully.
"And now you do?" she asked.
"Yeah, I do."
You...
