/Bay

This is probably the longest hour drive I have ever been on. We are stuck in traffic of course. Aunt Seraphina lives in a different city in the state, but she lives in the most busiest part of the city because it's good for work.

I have been texting Issac to pass the time, but I feel like I am going to pass out from how long I have been in this hot car. The man isn't playing any radio.

/ Bay

And have you waste 6 hours of your life AND be forced to hear you bitch and moan about your rivals in lacrosse. Yeahhh i don't think so.

Since when was I your best friend?

Fair point. What are you doing?

???

Ohk. How did the game go yesterday? I bet Armani's team won.

You guys put up cash when playing?

Farris is the one with the short auburn hair right?

Really? I always thought he was a cute little thing. He blew up in high school of course, but I never thought of him like that. He is just a funny and adorable friend, i guess.

I DO NOT!

I realize my sarcasm is rubbing off on you.

We are indeed Evans, and I have a treat for you when I get back for your basketball win.

A punch in the face. Sure, cause that's what you are going to get for your dirty behavior.

You sure you want to bet your face on that notion.

That's what I thought.

Do you ever tell me what adventures you are taking me on?

Exactly Evans, this is for your own good. Therefore, I won't tell you.

Are you pouting?

Okay.

:) Got to go. I reached to my aunt's house.

Awwww that's so sweet.

I put my phone in my bag and step out the car and close the door. I am standing outside a big apartment building. It's one of the those big fancy rich people apartment buildings in the city. People have crowded the streets and the city streets look alive with the amount of bright lighting and lots of honking from taxis and loud noise makes the city resemble Manhattan. I walk into the building and to the reception desk. A young lady at the desk looks up and smiles.

"How may I help you?"

"Uh, can I be directed to apartment P2."

"Okay let me call up."

"No!" the lady looks at me startled.

"I'm sorry. It's my Aunt's birthday and I want to surprise her. Seraphina Stewart. I'm her niece Bay Stewart." I say, but the lady looks skeptical

"Uh- with all due respect. Seraphina Stewart is caucas-"

"Caucasian, right? Yeah I know. Unless you are blind, I am mixed. I can call your manager right now and get you fired, or rather my aunt can do it." I say and feel my anger bubble up in me at the ignorant girl in front of me.

"G-go up" she says slightly stumbling over her words.

I walk away from the lady and to the elevator already feeling my anger dissipate a little. I walk into the elevator and press the P button to head to the penthouse floor. I begin to bounce on the balls of my feet growing excited to see my aunt I haven't seen in a year. I reach to the penthouse floor and I dig in my pocket for the key she entrusted me with and I open her door to reveal a beautifully furnished house. Aunt Seraphina was always the fancy one of the family. She really outdid herself with this place.

"Aunt Seraphina?" I yell out.

Nothing.

I decide to go roam around and try to find her. The kitchen was redone and has a silver marble countertop and island and an LG fridge and microwave. I walk through the hallways and there are several rooms: her gym room, photoshoot room, her room she films her videos, etc. I decide to walk upstairs to see another set of about 4 rooms. Aunt Seraphina's room is somehwere up here.

Noises are coming from the master bedroom down the hall. I knew she was here. I put some pep in my step and I walk to the door. I turn the knob of the door with a big smile on my face and I open the door. My eyes widen at what I am forced to see. When I get over the shock, anger rises in me and shows on my surface. I clench my fists and drop Seraphina's gift on the floor.

I will save you the details at what I exactly see. My aunt Seraphina was banging Asher Stevens.

Yes, man-whore Asher.

When Seraphina sees me at the door, her eyes widen and she scrambles to cover her exposed body parts. Asher turns around and sees me and the same reaction comes to his face.

"Shit!" he yells and covers his man parts.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING!! MY AUNT!!" I yell at Asher and then I look at my aunt who is staring at me with confusion.

"You know him?" she trembles.

"YES HE IS A FUCKING TEENAGER AT MY HIGH SCHOOL. HE IS PROBABLY FUCKING ZOE TOO!"

My aunt's eyes widen and she scrambles out the bed and puts on her clothes and so does Asher. Tears blind my vision as I stare at my aunt in disgust. A role model who I have looked up to my whole life. The one person besides my dumb sister, who I could talk to about my dad and my mom and just everything.

It's like everyone in my life has just become a-

Asher runs up to me looking like he is in distress.

"You can't tell Zoe. Please, I like her."

Zoe.

Asher banged our aunt.

She will be heart broken. Despite everything, I still care about my simpleminded sister.

All I see is red and I throw a punch at Asher's nose. I hear a crack and I feel so satisfied with myself that it's kind of scary. He drops on the floor and I walk over to him and straddle him and start punching and punching at his face. He tries to block me, but my rage gets the better of me and I use my nails to scratch at the skin on his arms and then i scratch at his face.

I don't even hear my aunt yelling and crying for me to stop until she pulls me off of him.

"DID YOU KNOW?!?!" I yell at both of them. Asher is coughing on the floor and trying to stop the blood leaking out his nose.

"No I didn't. Bay i didn't know that she was Zoe's aunt." Asher says.

I look to my aunt who I know I will be cutting off once I leave.

"I swear I didn't. He is 18 right?"

"Of course that's what you are thinking about. Making sure you didn't get yourself caught up having sex with a minor. Do you even care that you just banged your niece's crush?"

I rest my hands on the back of my neck and start pacing.

What will I tell Zoe?

My aunt walks over to me to try to comfort me but I shove her away and she stumbles back tears streaming down her face. Asher looks at me with a guilt-stricken face and of course the look that says 'shit I got caught'. I hate him for doing this to Zoe. Making her feel like she was special and then fucking her aunt.

The heartbreak I am feeling for my own sister is suffocating and I feel like it is wrapping itself around my neck and choking me and restricting my breathing. Tears continue spilling down my face and I quickly wipe them.

I look at my aunt and say, "You are a disappointment. I came here wanting to surprise my aunt for her birthday, but instead I find her in bed with Eastside High's man-whore and player. You were the one person I could count on, rely on. I had faith in you."

I look to Asher and my face contorts to one of disgust and anger, "I had no faith in you. You will never change. Once a player always one. Why would you change? But the only issue now is that you have broken my sisters heart. Well when she finds out. And you never care. I hate you Asher Stevens."

"How long has this been going on?"

A few seconds go by and the silence fills the tense atmosphere, which only angers me more.

"ANSWER ME!"

"A few times now." my aunt croaks.

"How many times while you were with Zoe?" I ask Asher.

"Just this one time. I swear. Bay, I really like Zoe. It was a mistake. Pl-"

"SHUT UP!" I yell felling overwhelmed with so many emotions. "Both of you go to hell!"

I kick my aunts gift that's on the floor and the perfume bottles roll out the bag and my aunt looks at them and more tears run out her eyes.

"Bay, I am so sorry."

"Save it. I'm done. The one person....does this. Unbelievable.....Happy Birthday Seraphina."

I walk out the room and out her toxic house.

I don't know where I am at all.

All I know is that I just want to escape.

I don't want to go home and have to tell Zoe that her crush has been a big disappointment. I just hope.. I really do hope Zoe wasn't dumb enough to let him take her virginity.

I walk for a little while tears still streaming down my face. I am hoping to find a bar that will believe with my appearance that I look old enough to buy booze. I walk inside and of course, men probably over 25 are there. They slowly assess my appearance. I probably have a puffy face and red eyes. Luckily, I wore no mascara.

I sit at the bar and a bartender walks up to me. He looks young. Probably 21 actually. He has light brown hair and gold brown eyes that enhances his young appearance and compliments his look.

"What can I get you today?"

"Beer please" I say feeling exhausted from all the crying I did walking here. The guy gives me a big cup with this light colored liquid and at the top are fizzes. Kind of like what you would see when you put soda in a cup right after opening the bottle. I bring the cup to my lips and take a sip of it. The weird bitter taste trickles down my throat and for a minute, I regret even tasting this, but after a few minutes of drinking, I already feel floaty and my mind feels foggy.

And slowly the thoughts of my disappointment of an aunt and the disgusting existence of Asher Stevens floats out my mind and I just settle on the high I feel at the moment.
