My Crazy Life

chapter 37

I am sitting on the beach still. I am watching everyone when my phone rings. I look at it to see Blake. I just see the phone down. Zeke comes and sits next to me.
"Hey sis. What you doing? "
"Just sitting here. Watching  everyone. "
"Sounds creepy. " We laugh. His phone starts ringing. He gets up and walks a couple steps away. He's on the phone for about three minutes then come and throws his phone at me. Me having my fast reflexes I catch it. I set it down while he runs back to go play with Ciara. I lean my head on my knees and sigh. I am exhausted.
"Great to know my girlfriend is ignoring me. " I hear Blake day as he comes and sits next to me. I ignore him.
"Are you going to tell me whT I did? "
"Why were you with Taliya. "
"how do you know about that? "
"I saw you! I was driving home when I stopped at the stoplight on the corner. I turned my head and saw you! " I exclaimed.
"And it's not about how I know! It's about you answering my question! "I said.
" What do you think we were doing? "
"I don't know. The first thing was Mia. Then cheating but that flew out of my mind real quick. Then my mind went back to Mia. Were you talking about Mia? "
"Yea.uh Taliya said we can speak at her trial. You don't have to if you don't want to but I am. Taliya is too. "
"Why didn't you call me? "
"Because I know how much sports mean to you and I kinda figured you wouldn't wanna do it. "
"I dont. I just don't know what to do. " He landed over and hugged me. I hugged back tightly.
"How was practice? "I groaned and let go.
" Hard. It was terrible. I dispose the beginning of each season. "I grit out.
" Woah. Your letting the tiger out. "
"Shut up Blake. " I got up.
"Let's go for a run. " I suggested.
"Ok." He got up and we started jogging.
----------------------------------------------------
--------_-----------------------------_-----------
We've been jogging for about 30 minutes now. I stopped running. Blake stopped and sat beside me.
"You need to stop overworking yourself. " He said
"I'm not overworking myself. "
"Yes you are. "
"Whatever."
"Yea whatever. " I got up.
"Come on get on my back. "I got up and jumped on his back.
" How did you know that we were here? "
"I called Zeke. "
"Asshole."
"Yep."
"Can I ask you somethin? "
"You just did. " I smiled.
"Can I keep your jersey?"
"Wait.you have my jersey? "
"Yea."
"Go ahead. When is your first game? "
"I said Friday. I said this earlier. "
"I didn't hear you. Need help practicing. We can go down to the courts and practice. "
"Tomorrow.we don't have practice tomorrow. "
"Ok."
"I love you. "
"Te amo Ali. "
"Alright. I need my bitch. " Hanna says. She runs over and tackles me. I fall to the ground.
"Why are you acting depressed! " She shouted. I pushed her off of me and got up.
"I'm not acting depressed. "
"Okay. If that's your story. "
"TO I FOUND A CHALLENGE!! "Brandon yelled.
" What? "I got off of Blake's back and ran over to him and grabbed his phone.
"World's hardest try not to cry challenge? " I asked.
"I don't really feel like crying right now. " Zeke said.
"Where's Ciara? " I ask.
"Marcella came and picked her up a couple minutes ago. She gave Tatiana the money. "Hanna said.
" Oh right here's half. "Tatiana said.
" No you keep it.  You watched her the whole time. "I said.
" You sure? "
"Yea. Now let's watch this. " I said.
-------------------------------_-_--_-----_---------
-------------------------------++++++++++++-
"Oh my god. That is the worst. " I said. We were all crying. That video was terrible. I will never watch something like that again.
"Ok I'm done with this. I can't cry anymore. I need to change the mood. "
"BITCH!  I HEARD ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING ABOUT ME!!  MIA TOLD ME ALL ABOUT IT!! " Taliya says and she pulls up and gets out if her car not bothering to close the door or turn the car off. She looks pissed. I get up and soo do the rest.
"What are you talking about. "
"NO INTENTE ACTUAR TODO FALSO AHORA! INTENTABA HACERTE UN PAPEL SÓLIDO CUANDO LES DIJE A LOS POLICÍAS LO QUE MIA ME CONTÓ! " (dont try to act all fake now! i was trying to do you a solid when i told the cops what Mia told me.)
"escucha perra !! No sé de qué diablos estás hablando. ¡Probablemente estés enojado porque por una vez en tu vida no recibes la atención que deseas!" (listen bitch!! i don't know what the fuck you're talking about. your probably just mad because for once in your life your not getting the attention that you want!) We were getting closer to each other. Honestly I wanted to fight her. I won't though. Unless she hits first. Which she usually does.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Mia said that you wanted to steal the school from me. That you were better than me. That's why you were dating Blake. She said you wanted to rule the school and have Blake and be the golden couple. " She shouts.
"Wow sounds a awful lot like her. I never said any of those things. Come on Taliya. Your getting this from the girl who shot up a school just to date someone so she can rule the school. " I said.
"She wouldn't lie. "
"Really.then why was she with Matt. Not even 10 minutes later she lied to your face about it. "
"No wonder she wants to kill you. " She said. That was it. I was seeing red.  I slapped her. I slapped her so hard that her head flew to the side and she staggered back.
"How dare you. " I seethed. I went into attack mode but someone grabbed me and pulled me into a sitting position.
"Ali you need to calm down. "
"Get out of here. If she gets out of his hold you dead. Go Taliya. "
"This is a rare thing. What do we do. "
"Call her parents. "
"I'm on it. "
"Ali calm down. "
"Alejandra. You are so lucky I was on my way home from work. What happened. "
"Taliya. She came with a bunch of accusations towards Ali and she said the wrong thing. Ali just snapped. This is only the second time this happened. "
"How did you get her out of this before? "
"Julia."
"Ok let me try. Ali look at me. " I looked at him.
"Calm down. Think of Monica. She wants to go skating tomorrow. Or to the mall and spend time with you. Some one on one time with her big sister. How does that sound. " I felt calmed now. A lot better. I wasn't so mad at her.
"I'm good you can let go now. " I said to Zeke. Who I don't notice was the one holding me down.
"I just wanna go home. Can we leave? "
"Yes but in driving your car. " Sam said. I nodded.
"Your coming with me. " Dad said. We walked to get my stuff and walked to his car. We got in and I put on my phone. I select a playlist and hit shuffle. The song Russian Roulette by Rihanna comes on and I start singing.

"Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play the key
Take the gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, I'm moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
And you can see my heart, beating,
You can see it through my chest
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger)
Say a prayer, to yourself
He says, close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get, a scary thought
That he's here, means he's never lost
And you can see my heart, beating,
Now you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my heart, beating,
Now you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no!
I know that I must pass this test
And you can see my heart, beating,
Oh you can see it through my chest
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no!
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger)"I sing quietly.

"You really do sing good. Do you know who you get it from? "
"My grams. "
"Your grams. When you were a baby. She would sings you lullabies. You'd fall right to sleep. It's okay to cry when you miss her you know. Your mom does. "
"If I cried every time I missed her. I would never stop. "
