My Addicted Love

Chapter 16

I was going in and out of conscious, but I can hear them talking.

"We have a 16-year-old suici—"

"My daughter isn't suicidal! She's a good girl!" My mom said yelling.

"Sheila, calm down. Let them do their job." My dad said holding her back.

"No! I want my baby girl!" My mom said as she tried to get out my dad's grip.

I was reaching out for my mom because I don't want to be alone.

I was stupid for doing this to myself, but I had no choice.

I had to do it.

At least my mind was telling me to.

........

"B, you still want me to take you home?" Mya asked as she got in the car and rubbed my back.

"Yeah, I need to go home and take some pills."

"What you mean? I hope you ain't about to do something stupid." Mya said as she look at me with concern.

"No, I'm on antidepressants. I haven't taken them. I need them." I said looking away.

"Ok, but I'm going to stay with you."

"I need to be alone. I'll be fine."

"Brandy, you're an emotional wreck right now."

"Fine." I said as I shrugged my shoulders. I wasn't about to keep arguing with her.

I sat quietly the whole car ride as we went to Mya's house and dropped the food off. It wasn't much to say since I was crying silently to myself.

"Whew, it's dark in here." Mya said as I unlocked my front door and turned the light on.

"I forgot to leave the living room light on." I said sniffing.

"You can go ahead and take your medicine. I'm about to see if anything good on tv. I'm tryna catch Video Soul. I missed last week episode, girl." Mya said she put the food on the table.

"Ok, let me hurry then. I like Video Soul." I said as I went upstairs.

I went into my bathroom and looked through my medicine cabinet.

I took out the antidepressants.

"Maybe if I call him, he would explain what happened. Yeah." I said rushing to my phone as I started to dial his number.

The phone rung at least five times.

"Hello?" I heard DeVante's mom say on the other end.

"Hey, Mrs. D. Is DeVante home?"

"Um, no. He said he was going out to eat. Aren't you with him?"

"No, I'm not with him. I'm at home." I said as I tried not to start crying again.

"Well, I don't know what's going on. I'll tell him to call you later, Monica. Good bye."

I was stunned as DeVante's mom hung up.

She's always been so nice to me, so I didn't expect her to call me by that other chick's name.

I dialed DeVante's house again.

"Yo, it's the man with the plan. What's up?"

"Jet?"

"Oh, what's up, Brandy? What you doing?"

"Trying to contact DeVante. Can you tell him to call me?"

"I think he throwing up. Hold on, bro. I'm coming in there!"

"Y'all full of sh*t! You knew about Monica? I caught them together at a restaurant, so you can stop with the lies."

Jet didn't saying anything on the other end. It was complete silence. Wow, they all full of crap.

"B, you the first girl that I'm telling this to. Just stay away from DeVante."

"B-B-B-But I love him. I know he's done a lot of things to me, but—"

"Brandy, we all know he ain't right. I feel stupid because the way I let him do girls like you. Just leave him alone."

"Jet, I know you mean well, but I think it's because I haven't been myself. Maybe I need to work on me. He's been through a lot."

"Brandy it a—"

"Brandy, come on girl! Video Soul on!" Mya said shouting.

"Jet, I gotta go."

"Don't hang up. Hear m—"

I hung up as I hurried to take the antidepressant medication.

"You fine?" Mya said as she wiped her mouth with a piece of paper towel as I sat down.

"Yes, I'm good."

I'm really not, Mya. Please give me a hug.

"You sure?"

"Y—"

Before I could finish the sentence, Mya gave me a hug.

"It's okay. I'm here for, B."

"Thank you." I said as I hugged Mya back.

I'm lucky to have a good friend like her.

"Of course. Anyway, let me turn this up because this looks like Immature. Lil Roger can get all of this." Mya said as she started dancing.

"Move! You're blocking the tv." I said laughing as I threw a pillow at her.

Mya laughed as we chilled and watched tv for the rest of the night.

I don't know what the future holds, but I hope it's much brighter at least for me.

Because it seems like nobody got me in the world....but me.
