Pharaoh
I mean he should've texted back right? Well sometimes pa sleeps in and then it's not like he wouldn't text me back, he would - he always does. I moved closer into Dayquellz, happy it was Saturday . I spent the past two days with Jordan, I been a bad friend lately due to my own issues and it's not acceptable. I didn't tell him about what happens with Layshon, maybe he was karma for cheating on Omani. Either way Monday we are going to talk things through- closure or whatever. It's been easier to push things down sometimes- except the fact my pa still hasn't texted me back. My breathing starting to match up with Quelly sleeping under me as if I could breathe that slow. It was 3 am but he has yet to text me he was in the house yet and I was worried. What could he be doing at 3 am? Not to mention apparently Uncle Donnie fucked up, and he did it big time. All I know is Maurice is going home to visit his family and was ready to leave as soon as he could. It was stressing Quelly out, I just really don't want him to relapse.
When Quellys phone went off he almost woke up out of his deep sleep and picked it up with ease. He doesn't answer my phone calls like that. He moved me over a bit but I readjusted myself instantly he only smacked his lips in return clear into his throat. "What you want" he spoke into the phone his eyes remained closed so I could try and study his emotions from his face. Soon enough a female voice ran through the phone talking loud and quick. Who is this? "Yo look at the fucking time, you lost yo damn mind?" His voice was low and the words slowly danced off his lips. My face heating up as his right hand started to rub my lower back occasionally reaching my ass. He was doing it as if it was instinct his eyes still not opened as the person on the phone talked. "Yea Yea shut the fuck up on this shit, don't make this a habit or we finna have a problem" with that he hung up throwing his phone somewhere into the dark. This why his phone always broken.
"Day-"
"Nobody, now go back to sleep" he said as he got himself comfortable. He tried moving me a bit more but I kept readjusting myself back on top of him. His circles he was now drawing into my back getting slower as if he was trying to put me to sleep. When my phone went off I shot up not caring about his hand wrapped around my which broke off as a doofy smile came across my face .
Pa.
My bad king late night, I'm inna house. Imma call you inna morning goodnight
A breathe I didn't know I was holding got let out, dayquellz must've gave up on me because he only rolled his eyes and turned over. Seconds later his breathing Slowed down and I couldn't help but tap him to see if he really fell back into that deep sleep. No answer, so I tapped again, than again and again before my hand was smacked away. "Are you sle-
"DAMN king shit" he said moving onto his back. It went quiet again before sitting up and turning his lamp on. "Always doing to much when it's time to be a fucking sleep" his back was towards me as he stretched a bit, was he leaving? He was going to leave me? I was annoying-this is why nobody wants to stay around you not pa- not. "Fix your face" he got up walking out of the room leaving me there.
"Day-
"Just get dresssed" he yelled down the hall before I heard a door slam. I didn't know why he could make me this upset, before it was my pa not texting me back. Now quelly is taking me home. My mental fighting with itself on how to react. I don't need him anyway- you always mess everything up. So by the time my bottom lip quivered a tear was already falling. I didn't want to go home. Nothing was wrong there but usually, just usually I get peace around Dayquellz. Like my doubts melt away.
"Oh hell na, why are you Crying?" He said coming back into the room "and why aren't you dressed"
"I-I'm not" my fingers playing with the sheets refusing to make eye contact with him. "I d-don't wanna go"
"You don't even know where we going, King it's 3 am I don't got the patience at 3 am. So here . Here just put the shit on" he handed me probably the first shirt he could pull out his drawer and basketball shorts. I didn't move. I just sniffles a bit whipped my face and then went back to playing with the sheets.
"I said I don't wanna go home" I said quietly still not looking up at the male Incase he started to yell.
"I'm taking your fat ass to get something to eat, if its one thing I learned you yo father fucking son.. you be sleep fast when you eat so let's go. Now shit. Ion got time for this and I'm not repeating myself"
The thought of food did excite me a bit, especially because the only place I knew he was taking me at this time was Denny's. I wanted waffles bad- it was like I could already taste them in my mouth. I wasn't moving fast enough because he walked out, that got me to jump out of bed and stumble into the clothes he got me running into everything on the way out of his room.
"Ow , shit fuck" I mumbled as I stumbled down the stairs hitting my toe than eventually Dayquellz.
"Pharoah" he said sternly when I hit him in his back with my knee from running down the stairs. I looked down at where he sat with big eyes seeing the annoyance on his face.
"I thought you left me" I try to explain.
"I tell you everyday Ian ever leaving yo ass, doing all this extra movement at 3 fucking am come on yo"
He was tired, so tired. I could tell when we got in the car and he sat there for awhile. "We don't have to go,I can force myself to sleep I'm not 3" I offered but he only let out another yawn. "Plus you shouldn't be driving while tired"
"Call G and ask if he trynna meet us there or what" he said speeding off from the house. I did that. I should work on that, maybe it's years of Quelly telling me what to do, I never really question him unless it sound dangerous. But he calls me spoiled? If I don't listen to him I get cussed out, Hes a walking spaz. But yet I'm the spoiled one? I never got it and to this day I still don't.
I didn't realize I fell asleep until I heard pounding on the window, I jumped up hitting my head on the same window and saw Gage there laughing with Rakim behind him smoking what I assumed was a blunt. "WHY YOU SLEEP? It's only 3:30! The parties just starting lame ass!" Gage yelled until rakim started complaining probably because he was to loud. I was gonna get out but the two slid in the backseat with quickness as Dayquellz litt his own blunt. Of course.
"I don't think you should be doing that" he ignored me. "Or ignore me, that's fine too" I muttered playing with the radio station flicking back and forth.
"Stop that" this time I ignored him, he didn't notice though because he continued to inhale the smoke from the blunt and leaned back in his chair. "I said stop mane, please we finna go get your food in a second Ro damn"
"I'm not doing nothing"
"You guys argue like a married couple" Rakim said as he attempted to pass me the blunt, I wasn't interested though. I was still confused on why Dayquellz continued to smoke himself.
"He never listens to me so I don't get how it's an argument" I added and like clock work it got a reaction. First he smacked his lips and looked at me for a moment then hit the blunt again.
"You be lying to these people mane, I don't listen to you? gage I don't listen to this boy?"
"He did tell you to not smo- Na you listen" gage turned sides so fast all it took was a glare through the review mirror.
"That's what you want?" I continue to ignore him. "Playing all these fucking games" he complained ashing out the blunt. "I'm finna go feed his ass he pissing me off, need to take his ass to sleep" he complained getting out the car he tossed the blunt to me and then shut the door waking towards the entrance of Denny's.
"Wowww, you got him mad and I got business with him in the morning" rakim complained as I slowly got out the car myself. He probably wasn't really mad just tired and didn't have the patience. I am a lot to deal with. Jogging to catch up with him through the parking lot although he acted as if he ignored my presence he still held the door open for me.
"I want waffles" I said trying to ease his mood, he just nodded waiting for the hostess to come as the other two were almost to the door.
"Just two"
"Na" the lady didn't know what to say after that she just looked at me for assistance, after the other two came in we were heading to the table. I don't know if it's a bad habit or what but Quelly had to practically move me over some in the booth so he could have what he said was personal space. He put his arm on the back of the booth though so naturally who wouldn't want to move closer. But Everytime I tried he pushed me back away, this happened a few times before I finally got the hint. He's just mad I won't let him smoke with his friends, but he also know when he's high he likes to drink and when he drinks he likes to pop pills. Not to mention all the stress with Maurice leaving,his dad not really telling him what happened and everything with his mom. He's naturally stressed. Tapping my feet against the floor I just sat there as the other three engaged in conversation. I tended to zone in and out of things often so it wasn't a big deal, not to mention sleep was settling in and it seemed like calling my name as well.
"Kiari what are you getting?" I shrugged moving slightly closer to look at his menu like clock work he tried to push me over until Gage reached over and smacked him with his own menu.
"You gonna stop treating King like this"
"It's fine I'm use to it" I said and Quelly rolled his eyes. "He only really likes me on his own timing" I added. Sometimes being dramatic worked . At nearly 4 am Denny's this early? It was going to work. Gage was the one who taught me the technique he says it works for both Rakim and Dayquellz. All you have to do is be dramatic and drag everything. Which isn't hard for me because my head already makes the worse seem possible.
"Imma slap the fuck out of you" he said calmly and it sent shivers down my spine. My eyes widened and I couldn't help but back away from him then shoot my head down. Picking at the shorts mumbling sorry over and over again hoping he was joking.Gage was already telling Quelly he fucked up when Rakim was telling him to mind his business.
"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry- Imma stop talking now, I'm sorry.. I promise-" I didn't even know I was holding my breathe until he pulled me into his side his arm coming down around me. I must've looked at him showing how scared I truly was at his words because the way he looked back was full of pain.
"Ian mean it like that mane. You know I wouldn't" he stopped himself and looked down at me for a bit and exhaled. He leaned in closing and kisses my cheek" My bad Ki, I shouldn't even snap at you like that, I'm just tired" he said softly in my ear. I nodded still looking at him with big eyes hoping I wouldn't make him change his mind. "Stop looking at me like that" his voice cracked a bit at the end our eye contact never diminished or anything. "Ian him, you know that right?"
I nodded quickly, "yeah you're safe.. I'm always safe with you just like pa and dad"
He still seemed hesitant to look away, as if when he did everything would crumble around us. "I gotchu you know that right? and I love your punk ass.. Ian finna let no shit like that happen again to you.. not ever"
"It's okay it was-
"I mean it"
"I know,I love you too Q"
Omniscient
Dayquellz made sure not to take his eyes of Pharoah for to long after that. Sometimes he forgets it's not just a episode this is more than that. He's going through ptsd, he is probably lower mentally than he has been in awhile and both his parents are dealing with things. He knew he needs to be more patience with king but Dayquellz mind was also racing, itching for just one pill, for even just one shot. He could barely focus or talk to many without being agitated. Another reason why he was going to go shoot stuff let off some steam with Rakim in the morning. His brain was itching to relapse but he knew he had to be here for king. He needed a blunt, black and mild maybe. Or to go back to sleep, his brain was at peace when he's sleeping not wishing for anything, not replaying destructive thoughts or memories.
"Why didn't you get any food?" King asked sipping his lemonade.
"Ian hungry, I'm tired. Tired as shit" he just nodded moving closer into Dayquellz side. If the younger boy could be in his clothes with me he would sure try to be. Seconds later Quelly felt pharoah fork touching his lips, his once closed chocolate eyes opened a bit to king trying to give him a bite "King I said I wasn't hungry, eat yo food so we can go.. your ass tired your damn self"
"I'm not" he lied then yawned. Dj still ate the bite king gave him and went back to closing his eyes. Denny's has seen him tired to many times. After licks , before licks even just to get out of the house. Before parties even after hook ups. Probably even seen him hiding from his dad here, it is 24/7. But even if , no type of tired compares to a day full of stressing over someone you care about .
