Crossing Shadows

"Girl bring ya ass down here!" Rebecka shouted

I rolled my eyes "Aight, I'm coming!"

Rolling off the bed, I walked over to my dresser pulling out a pair of socks and slipped my Puma slides on. As I walked past my desk I grabbed my phone & keys making my way down the stairs to Rebecka.

"Beitch, why it take yoh so long ta get yo' ratchet ass downstairs?" Rebecka spoke through her thick southern accent

I laughed "It takes time to look this fine"

"Fine where hoe?" She laughed pushing her curly hair out of her face

I narrowed my eyes at her smiling "Bitch you the only hoe here, a hoe with a capital H"

Rebecka flicked me off. I chuckled "Nah bitch that's Ray Ray's job" I threw her a wink

Rebecka's light skinned cheeks turned a tint of pink, she hit me on my left arm dumb hard "Shut up!"

Chuckling I shake my head "Come on lets go, they probably waiting for us"

Nodding Rebecka pushed my out the door, snatching the keys from my hand and locked the door behind herself. We walked out of the lobby to Rebecka's BMW 2016 model, the car was all black with tinted and silver shiny rims. After we climbed into the car, Rebecka started the car and drove off. Three minutes into the ride I started humming to a song that played on the radio.

"Girl, did yoh know that Jayden goht locked up?" Rebecka asked turning the radio down

Scrunching my face up "No-" I shook my head "-I didn't know. You dead ass?"

Rebecka nodded "Yea, no joke dead ass serious. I found out from Reko" A sigh left my lips I put my head in my hands shaking my head "Girl, he was like a brother to me. That boy was my fake brother"

Rebecka made a right before making a left, she laughed "Bitch last time I checked fake brothers and sisters don't fuck each other"

Picking my head out out of my hands I gave her the 'Shut the fuck up' look "lon even care; that boy stroke game was on point no thotto"

No Thotto means not trying to be a thot or a hoe, so don't take it as if I'm being a thot or hoe. No offense to those thots & hoes out there. It was something me & Rebecka made up.

"Come on, we're here" Rebecka told me climbing out of the car

I followed after her walking past the alleyway. We walked into the lounge that was filled with people, the smoke in the air was a mixture of weed, strawberries and watermelon hookah smoke. I followed behind Rebecka as she lead me to our group of friends.

"Hey Z" Ryan greeted getting up pulling me onto a hug

He grabbed my butt, I pulled away and slapped him. Ryan laughed pulling me close to him, his lips hovered over my neck. I punched him in the chest "Move nxgga" I told him mushing him out of my way

Backing up Ryan plopped down next to his girlfriend. I know such a shame, he can't be loyal his hoeing ass. Keyandra ran up to me picking me up, I wrapped my legs around her.

"My bitchh!" She shouted

I laughed "Hey Hoe"

Keyandra put me down cheesing hella hard "Girl, you looking fine as hell"

I looked at her through the corners of my eyes, I paused for a couple of minutes "He gave you some good D"

Keyandra laughed rolling her eyes at me "What ever hoe"

I smiled shaking my head. We sat down, Chrissy sized me up handing me her hookah pen. Chrissy is a Lesbian, at some point she liked me she was kinda mad at me when I get told her I don't swing that way, I mean we cool now, I guess. Chrissy still be tryna flirt with me, I usually try to ignore it.

"What kind is it?" I asked her

She raised an eyebrow slightly "Watermelon"

I nodded taking a hit of it. Before we go any further, I don't fuck with drugs, at all. I tried weed before but, I don't like it so there for I don't fuck with that either. Also I don't fuck with tobacco, the hookah pens I smoke don't have tobacco or nicotine in it.

"Get big, Get lil booty bitch, Go to sleep when I hit you with this dxck, Swing yo' arms, Bent yo' knees, If you ain't got no fake weave Pause, Go to sleep" The speakers sang

Shawn got up and started to rollie to the song. Keyandra got up dancing with Shawn, I laughed as I recorded them.

"Ci-Cee, get cho ass over hea" A deep guys voice yelled over the loud music

Next to me Chrissy stiffened, the buff brown skinned guy stalked over towards us with two more guys behind him. He got closer Chrissy had a look of panic, Keyandra walked away towards the bathroom. Ryan narrowed his eyes at the screen on his phone, Shawn sat back down, Star-Ryan's girlfriend- sunk into her chair. Rebecka looked scared, Dre had his arms wrapped around Rebecka.

"Ci-Cee, waht the fuck I tell yoh?" The guys rough voice spoke

Chrissy didn't reply, she looked down playing with her fingers. The guy got mad at Chrissy's lack of response, all you heard was 'smack'. I scrunched my face up at him, Chrissy's whole left side of her face was red.

I shoot up so fast "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I snapped "Putting yo' hands on a female, you know what that makes you?"

The guy looked at me like I was crazy, the two guys behind him laughed.

"Do yoh kno' who I am?" The buff brown skin asked

I smirked "Would you really like me to answer that? I got a feelin' you not gonna like my answer"

The guy grabbed me by the arm pulling me towards him roughly, the tall light skinned guy with gray eyes spoke up "No, yoh don't" He stated.

Zimmoni's Pov

I stare at him then his hand that was on my wrists. The buff brown skin guy who had me in a hard grip smirked "My name..."

Chrissy looked up at the guy "Kaere"

I shrugged "Okay and?" I asked in a bored tone "Can you let me go?"

The guy I now know as Kaere threw me on the couch before leaning towards Chrissy, pulling her up. "Come on girl, I told yoh 'bout shit like this. Let's go"

Just before they left Kaere looked back at me "I'll see yoh around, and when I do-" he smirked "-I ain't gon' be nice"

With that he left, Star pulled me back by the hoddie. "Girl, why would you do that?"

I rolled my eyes " 'Cuz he slapped tha girl, I wasn't gonna sit there and let him slap my friend"

"You so fucking dumb, bitch if he come back for me too, imma beat cho ass. That's exactly why l'on fuck with you, l'on even like yo ass" Star said getting wild crazy and ghetto clapping her hands and all

I pulled myself from her grip "What cho' not fixing to do is disrespect me, hoe you got me fucked up ALL THE WAY."

Star got in my face "I'm not dying for yo ratchet hoeing ass, always fucking somebody's nxgga!"

All jokes aside that never happen y'all, just wanted to stop right there and point that out. If anything it's reverse psychology, I guess. I just don't fuck with her personal because she always has something rude to say.

"Yeah and I fucked yours" I stuck my tounge out at her

Star hit me in my face, wanna kno what I did? I fucked her ass up. I jumped on top of her, pulling her by the jacket. I started dogging(1) her face, punch after punch. Somebody tried to pull me off of her, Fuck Nah! I got up and started mopping the floor with her ass, I pulled her by the hair and slinged her ass. Star flew into the chairs knocking it over.

"I maybe nice but, my Mama always told me to never let these hoes walk all over me" I stated as I walked away

I didn't realize Rebecka ran after me until an arm grabbed my wrist turning me around. "Calm down" Rebecka said slowly "I luh you girl. Now let's go"

We walked over to the car, getting in we drove off to my apartment. The whole car ride we talked about me beating Star's ass.

"Thanks Becky with tha good hair" I told her

Rebecka laughed "Bye Zithotty (Za-thottie)"

Rebecka pulled off, I walked into the lobby going to the elevator. Pressing the button I waited, it seemed like the elevator taking forever so I decided to take the stairs. I made my way up the stairs tried as hell, everything around me was spinning it felt like the air had done something to me. Looking up I see somebody making out with a girl, I scrunched my face up at them as I pass them.

"Get a damn room, don't nobody wanna see that" I opinionated continued my way up the stair

I finally neared the 4th floor, my legs felt like they weren't there. I started bumping into the wall, looking at the wall for a moment I started laughing.

"Why is the whole thing white except this little ass patch?" I asked laughing

Just as I was about to make my way into the hallway and away from the staircase, the door opened almost hitting me. Ri'Cilyn caught me before I hit the floor.

"You Aight Z?" He asked

I stare at him before squinting my eyes, I started laughing causing him look at me in recognization "Zimmoni are yoh high?"

I shook my head pouting my lip in the process "No, you know lon smoke weed"

Ri'Cilyn nodded "Now come o-"

His voice was cut short as my vision fade into pitch black and I felt my body grow limp.

"Zimmoni!" I heard someone call my name, there was a slap to my face I don't feel it that much "ZIMMONI!" was the last thing I heard before I fully went into the darkness

"She could have went into a state of shock" I heard a man's voice say briefly

I heard a hard sigh before a whimper "She's Aight now right?" I heard a familiar voice

It sounded like Rebecka, I'm pretty sure it's Rebecka.

"Yes, of course" The other voice clarified

There was a long silence. I don't know why I can't move my body or open my eyes.

"What could've happened ta make ha like this?" Rebecka's thick accented voice asked

I heard shifting "Well when we, uh got her- I don't know how to say this Ma'am" The other voice said "We found a drug in her system, she should be alright when she wakes but-"

"Buh what?" Rebecka asked

The man cleared his throat "There's a 10% change she might suffer from depression that, most likely she won't depending on how little was in her system. Don't let her drink for at least a month"

Rebecka huffed "Aight but, when is she going to wake up!"

"Calm down Rebecka" I heard another familiar voice pitch in "The dude is tryin'-" He chuckled "-thanks Doc' we understand"

"She may have had little in her system but, it'll take time for her to wake & recover. Then again it shouldn't take very long because like I mentioned earlier she had little in her system f-"

Rebecka cut the man off "Get ta the damn point, when she gon' wake up?"

"Consider this a mini coma, she has been out for a week and three days now. I can only assume that she could make up tomorrow or three days from now or possible throughout this week" The guy I heard named Doc informed

"What you're saying is-" Rebecka's voice traveled off and got cut short

I fell back into darkness. I hope I'm alright.

Zimmoni's Pov

My eyes fluttered open as I sat up the bright lights made me squint my eyes, a wave of pain hit me making me clutch my head "Uh, what happened?" I groaned

I heard rushing footsteps coming towards me "Girl, you are finally awake" Rebecka's voice ran through the room

I swallowed noticing how dry my mouth was "G-get me s-s-ome wat-er"

Rebecka nodded leaving for a brief moment before returning with a water "Here" she handed me the cup

I took it damn there drinking it in one gulp. "What happened?" I asked Rebecka sighed leaning against the chair "What do you remember?"

I narrowed my eyes "All I remember was walking into the lobby, pressing the elevator button waited, gave up went to the stairs started walking up them when I reached the third, saw some people eating each other's face off, got to the fourth Ri'Cilyn ugly ass almost hit me with the door, almost fell down to the stairs and past out. That's all I remember"

She nodded "Dere was some druugs in ya system that they flushed out. They said yoh slipped into a mini coma (1). Girl you wa' suppose to be awoke like five days ago"

I scrunched my face up "How long was I sleep?"

"Uh-" Rebecka trailed off in thought "Almost three weeks now, today would count as a da third week"

I blinked twice slowly "Damn, it don't feel like I been sleep for three weeks"

She laughed shaking her head "Girl!" Rebecka squealed "Yoh not gon' kno' 'cuz yoh sleep"

I gave her a look of thought "Yeah you right"

The doctor walked in "Oh I see you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"Aight I guess. I kinda feel, ugh! Is that aight?" I asked

The doctor chuckled "It's normal to feel that way"

"When can I leave?" I asked

He tapped his fingers on the clipboard "Now actually, just let me go get the prescription for you"

I nodded as he walked away. Rebecka tossed me a bag full of clothes "Go change" She commanded

I nodded getting up going to the bathroom to change after carefully pulling out the cord's.

"Here you go, make sure you to the pharmacy to get the medication" The Doctor informed me

I nodded "Okay, well thank you Doc' have a better day"

He chuckled "Well do sweetheart"

I smiled walking away with Rebecka. I understand why he called me sweetheart, he is like 30 something.

"Are yoh getting in or waht?" Rebecka asked

I rolled my eyes before climbing in. Rebecka squealed before starting the car and driving off.

"I'm taking you to see Keyandra, Shawn & Dre" Rebecka told me

I gave her a funny look "I'm tired as fuck, Re just take me home" I dragged it the 'o'

She rolled her eyes "Nah girl, dhey been worried 'bout yoh"

I sighed "Re I'm tired as hell, just got out the hospital and I just wanna go home take a shower and eat"

Rebecka glanced at me "Aight, buh they were really worried 'bout yoh, like yoh have no idea"

I sunk in my seat "Well if it's that important, if they really was that worried then they can come to my house"

We pulled up to the complex, I climbed out walking to the entrance.

"I love yoh, be safe girl" Rebecka called out to me

"I love you too!" I yelled back

I pressed the elevator button, after a minute or two it came. I walked in pressing the fourth floor, there was a guy in the opposite side of me in the corner with a grey Nike sweater. I could feel his stare on me underneath of his hoodie. I smiled at him.

"Uhm, hello" I greeted

He glanced up I caught a glimpse of his smile and his grey eyes "Hi" The guys said back

The fourth floor came up and I walked out of the elevator.

"Babygirl yoh don' got no idea waht's comin' towards yoh" I heard him say faintly

I was gonna ask him what he talking 'bout but, the elevator doors closed. I walked to my apartment door. Locking the door behind myself,

I threw my keys on the coffee table in the living room. As I take my jacket off my phone buzzed, indicating that I got a text instead of answering it I walked to my bathroom to take a shower.
