I completely changed from that shit
My heart cold now, you the one to blame for that shit
Kalani POV
THREE YEARS LATER
My alarm blared in my ear, receiving a groan from me, as I stretched before getting up. I slid my finger across the phone screen stopping the annoying sound. I lazily got out of bed and got my clothes ready for my shower.
"Kalani ?", I heard my mothers voice behind the door, "Are you up ?"
I continued getting my clothes out my closet as her knocking continued.
"Kalani are you-"
"I'M UP !", I yelled.
I walked to my bathroom with my clothes and hygiene products.
After I got out the shower, I put my clothes in the dirty hamper. Looking into the mirror, I stared at my long blonde hair. I laughed to myself as I remembered how much Andre loved my red hair.
I sat on Andre's lap as he kept running his fingers through my hair. I always love when he does this. It makes me feel so relaxed and it feels so soothing. Took my mind off things that were going on around me.
"I want to try a new color baby.", I said.
"Why ? I like your red hair."
I scrunched up my face, "You do? It seemed like it was getting old to me."
I looked up at him as he payed more attention to my hair, "It reminds me of your personality."
"And what's that ?"
"Mean as fuck."
I kissed my teeth and he laughed, "I'm just kidding Babygirl. I like it because it's fiery red, my favorite color and it symbolizes love."
He kissed my lips, "Our love."
I stared back up in the mirror and ran my fingers through my hair. I shook my head of the vivid memory and stepped out the bathroom. I slipped on my Jordan 7 retros and grabbed my necklace before putting it on. I opened the locket and smiled at the picture of Andre.
Andre bought the locket for me on my 15th birthday but we never knew what to put in it. Then three weeks after the funeral, I decided to give the locket a purpose. I keep it on my neck at all times, it makes me feel as if he's more closer to me. Closer than it can get.
"To the moon and back.", I whispered, before closing the locket.
I grabbed my phone off the charger and my bag off my bed before walking out my room.
"Good morning sweetie.", My mother smiled at me.
I grabbed my keys off the counter and walked out the front door. I hopped in my pink jeep wrangler and started the engine before speeding off.
I pulled up to my friend Alex house killing the engine before reaching over to my glove department. I pulled out a blunt that I already rolled and sparked it up. I put the blunt to my lips before taking two long pulls and blowing the smoke out my mouth. I closed my eyes and leaned my seat back a little.
I beeped the horn to let Alex know that I was outside.
I don't know why she always takes a thousand years and a lifetime to get ready. I called her three hours before I got here, because I know that it takes her an hour to get her face beat.
Alex and I were friends since 7th grade. She's like my little sister, we've had each other back since then. Anybody that fucks with her, fucks with me and vice versa. That's just how shit is.
"Hey Baby !", I heard Alex yell.
I blew the smoke out out of my nose before shaking my head.
I rolled down my windows, letting all the smoke exit out the car. I leaned my seat back up and once all the smoke was gone I rolled my windows back up. I stepped out my jeep and sprayed myself down with Victoria Secret. I threw my perfume back in the car before stepping back in the car.
She made her way over to the car and I unlocked the doors as she got in.
"Wassup lovely ?"
She strapped her seatbelt on and I put my key in the ignition before started the car.
"You don't know how excited I am about this party !", She squealed.
I laughed before pulling off, "We've been to plenty parties, what makes this one so exciting ?"
I looked over at her as she smirked off out the window, "I just have a feeling."
"Nah, your ass has something up your sleeve."
I pressed down my hand on the horn as this car jumped in front of me.
"How the fuck are you going to jump in front of me but drive slow ?"
I switched lanes and sped up a little as Alex flicked them off.
"Little fuckers.", She yelled out the window.
****
We got to the mall and I watched as Alex searched through the racks of clothing as I stood there staring at her.
"Kai I need some help and you're just standing there."
"Everything that I picked out for you, you don't like. So now my help is no longer offered."
"Well, now I need your help."
"So now you want my help ?"
"Kalani !"
"Fine. Just stop crying."
She mugged me and I walked off to the other side of the store.
I began searching through the clothes for a top. Maybe I should just get her a dress. Yep, that's my plan.
I walked towards the dress section and started scanning the different styles.
I grabbed a red dress and looked at the details. It was more like a two piece, but it was still connected on the sides.
It was cute to me.
I walked back over to Alex and pushed the dress in her face, "Try it on."
She snatched it and went inside the dressing room.
I waited outside for her to change.
"I don't think it's the one.", I heard her say.
"Can it not fit ? What's wrong with it ?"
I barged into her fitting room and saw her staring at her reflection in the mirror. The dress looked perfectly fine to me.
"Don't act stupid. I know you see that pudge."
"There is no damn pudge. Alex you look fine."
Alex is always self-conscious about her body. I don't know why, her body shape is amazing. She has girls envying her, and guys chasing her. She's a beautiful girl and I hate when she doesn't realize that.
"I don't know Kalani."
"I'll get the same, just different color. Maybe white."
"May I get black please ?"

"Where Are Ü Now", by Justin Bieber was blasting throughout the club, as the bass shook the entire place.
I could feel it going through my body and it only kept my adrenaline rising. I was ready to have a good time.
"You ready babe ?", I asked Alex.
She nodded eagerly and I grabbed her hand, leading her further in the club.
We went straight to the bar, and it was our lucky night, because our friend Darren was working tonight and he knows how to make someone's night.
"Wassup Alex. Aye Kalani."
I waved as Alex said hey.
"You already know why we welcome ourselves to your presence.", I said.
"Instead of the usual I want you guys to try something new."
He started to mix the drinks as I watched. Alex was too busy eyeing some guy.
"Now Darren, you know I don't like new shit."
"Lighten up babe, it's something to get the night started."
He passed both us our glasses, "Plus it's on the house."
"Shit, you didn't have to tell me twice.", Alex said before she started chugging down the drink.
I stared down at the drink before picking it up and swigging the drink in five gulps, feeling the burning sensation go down my throat.
"Let's fucking go.", Alex said.
She grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor.
She started to dance on to Rae Sremmurd, Come get her.
I laughed and watched as she twined on me and so let me hands go to her waist. She grabbed my hand and lift it into the air as I twirled in her arms. I pulled my phone out and slid my finger up the screen, starting a video. I turned the camera on her and laughed, before she grabbed my phone.
"It's a picture silly."
I pouted and rolled my eyes, "Stop it bitch."
"Turn around and show off that ass !", She said.
I flicked her off and flipped my hair before turning around and smiling.
"Yaasss bitch !"
I laughed and grabbed my phone away from her, "You're fucking done !"
Ten different songs already passed and we danced to all of them. The drinks Darren gave us already was taking full effect. It's to the point where I don't even know where our shoes are. Some bum butches probably took them, but I don't give a damn, I can buy more.
We both laughed as the song "Fuckin Witcha" ended.
I saw Alex looking up at the balcony and I followed her gaze. She pointed up to the VIP section. I squinted my eyes and saw that she was pointing at these two guys. They were smirking down at us and one waved for us to come up.
"Come on Kai, they want us up there !", She slurred.
She began to pull on my arm and I snatched it out her grip, "No Alex."
I looked back up to see if they were still there but they weren't.
"Now we missed them.", She whined.
"Fuck them."
I pulled out my blunt from my clutch, "I'm going to light up real quick. Don't wander off bitch."
She laughed, "I'm going to sit at the bar, my feet are tired."
"Alright, when I'm done we're going to catch an uber."
She nodded and I walked off towards this secluded corner. I took my lighter out and sparked up the blunt before putting it back and putting the blunt between my lips. I inhaled the smoke into my lungs before blowing it out through my nose. I looked towards the bar, to make sure Alex was sitting there and my accusations were right. I put the blunt between my lips again, following the same procedure.
As I continued with my high, I could sense something wrong. It wasn't a feeling that I could shake away either. I know that I tipsy, but I wasn't too tipsy to not know when to get Alex and I the hell out of here.
I put my blunt out and threw it somewhere, before stumbling myself over to the bar. That feeling was getting stronger and panic was taking over my body. It felt like it took me a lifetime to get to the bar, but I finally got there and Alex ass wasn't even here.
"Fuck.", I muttered.
"Darren where the hell did Alex go ?"
"I didn't see her leave. I wasn't paying attention paying atten- Kalani are you alright ?"
I banged my fist on the bar before walking off to find Alex.
"Kalani !"
My head was starting to hurt and everything felt like it was going in slo motion. I held my head with both hands as I kept looking around for Alex. The club felt like it was spinning and my eyes were seeing double.
I finally saw Alex talking to some guy and she waved at me.
I shook my head and nodded. I mouthed to her that I was going to the bathroom and she nodded, before turning back to the guy.
I walked inside the bathroom and stared into the mirror. I just needed to breath, everything is going fine.
I walked out the bathroom and my heart stopped when I heard six shots rang out the club. I crouched down on the ground as three more were head and got back up to get Alex and get the hell outta here.
Just as soon as I got back up I was shoved back into the bathroom by a scared looking girl. She made me drop my phone on the ground and I reached down to pick it up and when I did I felt something struck my head and everything was fading in and out. I was growing inconscious.
