Save Me (XXXTentacion)

1.

The start of a new book, enjoy.

A'Lani Blake

alaniblake: at a café near you.

I pushed my short, shoulder-length black curly hair out my face as I began to drink a caramel macchiato. Nobody ever came to this spot, and that's why I loved it. I tapped my black stiletto nails on the circular, scrapped up table as I watched people walk in and out.

Instantly looking down at my phone as it buzzed, I seen an Instagram notification.

xxxtentacion:😍😍😍

I'm not even going to front, I looked at his page as soon as I clicked on my notification. He was obviously popular since I peeped he was an upcoming rapper, but my question was how did he find little A'lani who has a maximum of 2,000 followers?

I followed him on Instagram as I locked my phone tuning back into reality. Here I am, alone sitting in the back of a café.

I finally left the cafe, and I pushed my black, why bother me? hoodie over my head. It was a cool Sunday, so the streets were not as vivid as they would normally be. I look down at my black, suede vans as I tried to grab my headphones out my pocket. Once I finally untangled these dumb iPhone headphones, I look up instantly seeing I almost ran into someone.

"What's up?" He spoke at me, as his dreads covered up the top of his forehead.

I stayed quiet studying his facial features, and I realized he was xxxtentacion on instagram.

"Aren't you rude?" He said viciously at me, and I opened my mouth waiting for words to come out that I was trying to form.

"Bitch," He mumbled, and he walked off making sure to scuff my vans.

I turned around as I watched him walk away. Once he was out of sight, I plugged in my earphones and began playing Lit Jitt.

It was now dark out, and I was laying in bed. I couldn't help but think of xxxtentacion, and I felt so bad about earlier. Why couldn't I speak?

I unlock my phone, and I saw that he liked every SINGLE one of my instagram photos. I smirked to myself, liking the attention.

Nervously opening my DM's, I typed in his name as I texted him.

alaniblake: hey.. what's up?

xxxtentacion: hey

He texted back so fast I couldn't even grip my thoughts.

alaniblake: here's my number, if you want to text.

After that message, he instantly FaceTimed me.

I answered, but of course I covered the camera.

"A'lani show me your face," He spoke, and I stared at him. His dreads were in a high ponytail, and he was shirtless.

"xxxtentacion, you cannot just call me without setting up an appointment," I groaned, and he laughed at me.

"I like you, so you can just call me Jah," He mumbled, and I instantly blushed showing my face.

"Jah is short for?" I asked, as I placed my hoodie over my wild curls.

"Jahseh. Don't call me that though, I'll two piece you," I busted out laughing, but I quickly stopped being embarrassed at how I sounded like a dying dolphin.

"Your laugh is cute A'lani, don't hide it?" He said, and I smiled because I could really get used to this attention.

"How did you find my Instagram?" I asked him, and he chuckled.

"You were on the Discover page. Don't be surprised, you fine as fuck with your lil emo ass," He said, and I rolled my eyes, smiling.

"I'm going to bed Jah," I said, and he groaned.

"Hit me up in the morning A'lani. I'm not playing with you," He responded, and I rolled my eyes as I hung up the phone.

After I finished getting ready for bed, I put my phone on the charger as I got under the cover. My phone instantly buzzed as I smiled.
