"Are you guys ready or are you just going to keep talking?" I asked Aaliyah along with static and timberland as I had my headphone resting on my head.
"You still mad G ditched you for that rapper girl."
"The bitch is ugly but you can start with this music instead of putting my business out."
"She mad ass fuck." Timberland laughed along with the rest of the two as they all eyed me in the booth. "That's not nice.." Static preached getting Aaliyah and gin to stop bullying me. This was happening so often every time I was coming around. They would pick on me like this because they knew I was mad about it this was just a way of humbling me
"You got no man, you gaining weight and now you think bullying me into giving you a music career is going to solve it."
"Well damn you don't have to fucking be here if you don't want to!" I snapped making Aaliyah whose laugh started fading stop. I don't know why she was laughing out of all people but all I did know was that she didn't mind me being humbled at all. From what I so-called put her through, even after the bomb sex, she still treated me as if I even do kill her dog. But in reality, I think she was laughing up a storm because she knew Elgin was out of the picture well for now since we weren't talking after he got with that girl. She was just happy that I couldn't use him anymore.
"Whatever."
They all laughed once more as they saw a numb look on my face. Or a pissed-off one either way I was flipping through it. I blinked my eyes up from the large glass to my feet.
"She can joke on everyone in this room all day but once we do it back. She becomes all sad." Aaliyah said making me glare at her behind this large screen. But my glare softened into a genuine frown when I had does dame negative thoughts in my mind. Why did missy tell me doing work and writing with them would distract me, at times I think melissa set me up just like she set me up on that day with my father. Yeah. Him. I still couldn't get him out of negative thoughts. From the day I saw him up until this moment. He just stood there. Hell, I wasn't even upset about Elgin or him moving on, I wasn't upset about them making fun of me for it, no, I was upset simply because of my father. That's it. Right now it was taking a lot in me. I wasn't in the mood.
"Can you start the music please?" I asked again hoping they would stop and take this seriously. Timberland caught that I wasn't laughing and went on to turn on the music. "Track 2.."
"You know what fucking track! Shut up!" I yelled to him making Aaliyah and static laugh at the whole thing. I rolled my eyed as I then calmed myself.
Soon their voice was muted from the glass as the music of the track filled my ears. This song was something I wrote. But no one heard but timberland, he read over and thought it was a good song but it needed work.
"Come in enjoy the night and have a good time, I got what you like, you you, Baby you and I can have a good time, tell me what you like, I just want to be with you-----
"It's nothing I won't do. To spend my life with you, I'll give my all to you, I'll promise that I'll never let you go. There's nothing I won't do. To spend my life with I'll give me all to you, I promise I never do. You and me together picturer perfect I spend all my money and my time because you are worth i--
When I saw the laughing and giggling from the window, I stopped singing. I gave each of them a numb look before I took my headphones off and quickly left the booth.
"Courtney what are yo---
"Fuck y'all. I'm out." I mumbled as I went straight for the door. When I grabbed the handle I slammed it right after I went out. "Fuck them, fuck everybody." I went on to say as I marched my steps from the area. I was so mad. They couldn't take me seriously for shit, they wouldn't try. I knew if missy was only here me and here would have it done to pack, but no she was busy managing other things, still not having the time. I had a feeling in the back of my mind thought that she was becoming distant maybe back like she always was with the work she did. Either way, I was feeling completely detached and I wasn't in the mood to make jokes and be old Courtney. I didn't feel the need to tear anyone down, I was too furious with myself to do that.
As I was walking I came to a stop, soon my whole body changed and I became stuck on who was my the reception table more like wondering why they were there.
"Didn't I say when I saw you I was going to beat your ass?"
"Well hello to you Courtney. I see you look nice." Alice said as she scanned me down once she said that, I didn't waste any time my fist instantly connected to her face taking her out completely. When I noticed she lost balance for a minute I took advantage and started jumping on the girl. Alice yelped and yelled for me to stop but every time she did so I went for more and more.
"Didn't I tell you to stay out of my business, then yo ass wanna hide when you know you fucked up." Every word made its own punch as I went into it. Quickly though, I was pulled back by one of the bystanders who were like security when I got pulled back I became ragging, ready enough to fully pound on Alice like a stress punching bag, I couldn't example how happy I was to see her to finally get my revenge on the snitch bitch who ruined my life.
Another bystander went and blocked Alice from my view, then quickly got her up off the floor aiding her blood was gushing out her nose. "I'll fucking kill you bitch, I told you not fuck with me!" I yelled profanity out making the security yank me from the area. I was scrambling all over the place to get out of the officer's reach and to get out of this building at that point, I just wanted to be alone, I didn't want anyone to find me.
"Stop it!" The men told me as I began breathing heavily. "Get off of me!" I screamed. "Stop I'm not going to touch her let go!" I yelled once more making now a disturbance in the entrance, the place became a little chaotic and even people from down the ball came out of the rooms to see what was happening one of them being timberland.
"I said get off of me!" I screamed even more. At this point, I tried fighting the security only wanting his pressure hands to stop guarding but I failed at that. Timberland looked all around confused seeing what was going on. Until finally he saw Alice and a tissue being held out by her bloody nose as she was screaming instantly when he noticed the rest who were Aaliyah and static followed through and widened their eyes at the scene.
"Get off of me!" I screamed as the guy was still pulling me back. I started crying and caught the eyes of Aaalyah who heard, quickly worried filled her eyes and sure enough, she came over to where I was with timberland behind her."I got her. I got her." Aaliyah repeated to the guy who was restraining me. Aaliyah quickly got the guy away from me and shoved him off. "She said stop!"
Aaliyah held me back herself and dragged me into the arms of timberland who was trying to remove me from the area. Quickly with the ground of them and security. We were all taken down the hall and into a room. Aaliyah who seemed shocked and nervous started shaking with fear as she didn't expect me to fight her assistant. I could tell she wanted to see if Alice was okay but timberland did that and left us in the room to get some air.
Feeling locked in a room wasn't the best especially if you knew why you were locked in. I felt stuck but not alone. I felt my heart pounding through my chest and the pasting was not helping it slide down. I couldn't keep in contact with anyone in the room security, Aaliyah, or static.
"Guys it's fine can you wait by the door."
"Would if she attacks you?" The security officer asked making me stop my pasting. "I wouldn't be stuck in a room with her if I didn't want to attack her. But the longer you stand you can end up just like that white girl out there." I threatened to make him furrow his eyes at me.
"Is that a threat? That's a serious crime." He said making me roll my eyes. Not with the money I had it wasn't a crime.
"No. No. It wasn't. But that's an order we both should take to leave." Static said as he looked over to the big-body-built man. "Will wait by the door. If you two....exchanged anything deeper." The officer said as he turned around and took the order. Static followed behind as he gave us space as well. I finally did something right, if I'd known any better he looked a little doubtful leaving Aaliyah alone in here with a violent me.
When the door closed. Instanly aaliyay turned to me. She still had that nervous look on her face, pending of almost fear towards me. I hated it, I didn't like it. I never wanted her to fear me. "What is wrong with you? I get that you are not in the brightest of days but that does give you the right to assault a friend."
"Friend? To us, she's neither of that. She is yours. Noisy-ass assistant. Who should have kept her fucking mouth close? I told you this before when I saw her, it's on. That's it."
"That's it. Just like that?"
"Your damn right. I could have beaten your ass as well."
"Beat my ass? For what."
"For dragging my mother into it. You let Alice get into your ear but you could have come to me about it."
"Oh my god are we still on this?"
"Yes! And to every fucked up thing I had to deal with being around you."
"I should beat your ass for setting Elgin up with another girl to get back at me."
Quiet. She went quiet, and, I started ripping her apart. "The nerve of y'all to make fun of that and put that in my face. Especially you, when you were the one who did it not once when you introduced him to me but another when introduced to another."
"This isn't about Elgin."
"Well, your damn right Aaliyah it isn't about Elgin! It's about you! It's about you coming into my life and trying to change things. For what!"
"It's not let that. I'm not changing anything. I'm helping you."
"Helping me? Bullshit."
"No. I'm helping you because you can't do it yourself. It's always the Courtney way or no way at all. You really wanted Elgin to chase you until you really wanted him back. Did you somehow want to be a junky at that, the girl who gets high and cries about not having anyone to love her, or would you want to be the opposite? I'm sorry I'm too much of a good-ass friend for not letting any of it happen."
"Here you go with this shit! Friend! We aren't friends, I don't want to be friends." I cried as the words were just stuck on a tagline between us.
"Did what do you want?"
"To leave and to never try to love someone who's always changing me."
"Well, I'm not letting you leave."
"Why not?"
"Because I love you and I care too much. When I don't try I feel like shit,"
"So I'm not letting you leave. What we can do, we can go into the bathroom and we can check out your hand while you tell us what's really going on." She got me when saying. She had my silence. Not wasting her time in the argument.
In this room was a tiny bathroom, Aaliyah pointed to it making me sigh. "Fine," I uttered under my voice. Quickly we went in there and shut the door. The bathroom was a one-staller connected to almost multiple office areas, the space was big but still, they had optional things around everything but a medical kit.
Aaliyah had to work with only water letting me run my bruised and bloody hands over it. "I think that's from me punching her nose. It could be her blood or mine."
"From the cut, it looks like yours or both "
"This water needs to run faster in that case, her blood in my DNA will be like some aids type shit," I said making Aaliyah laugh.
"It's not funny," I recalled making her laugh slightly go away. "You're right it's not."
"It's not if you got hurt."
"So you don't care about Alice?"
"I do, but...I care about you more."
"That's weird to say." I gave a slight smile as my eyes caught her lips. If only I could cool myself just to feel her lips. When Aaliyah caught me staring at her lips she smiled but she didn't interact with anything, instead, she just focused on stopping my hand from throbbing in pain.
"You should already why I punched her."
"I do but I just don't get why you were acting the way you were in that studio. You seemed out of it, when you saw Alice, I think it was more of you venting."
"I'm surprised missy didn't tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"That I had to see my dad. She wanted me to even though she knew for a fact that she hated his ass and now of sudden I just feel....angry."
"You took it out on Alice."
"Yeah! Because this all wouldn't be happening if she didn't run her mouth."
"No this wouldn't have happened if you didn't put drugs in your mouth in the first place." Here she went again blaming me. She was right though but I wasn't giving her the benefit.
"I know. I know." I repeated as I looked back to the sink to my hand running against the cold water. I started and I became almost sad. No refusal of what she said, nothing. She was just right
"You better hope Alice doesn't press charges," Aaliyah mentioned as silence filled us. I hadn't even thought of that
"Where's my bible?" I asked and we both ended up laughing together.
It still wasn't funny. But it was fact crazy, crazy how this girl could have this much effect on my emotions. I remember I was supposed to be mad at her but no, she does what she does and saves the day. I hated it.
