JISELE ADAMS
'Jilly'
RALEIGH • 919

"Girl this more then what you said." I told Kaelyn after walking into her house. It was way more then a 'lil' get together.

Ain't no way she let all these people she barley know in her house.. That's just ridiculous.

"I know i know, people was bringing they friends and shit." She said before pulling me into the kitchen with her.

She started to introduce me to some people but my anxiety was kicking in so bad that i couldn't focus on anybody names or nothing.

I started to look around and scan the place thinking I might see some familiar faces.

I landed my eyes on this one guy and noticed it was the same guy i crossed passed with the last time i was at Kaelyn's house.

He still looked familiar but i just still couldn't figure out why... I kept staring hoping it would come to me until he looked back at me making me look away quickly.

"Jillyyyy." Kaelyn dragged my name while grabbing my hands and trying to get me to dance with her.

It felt so awkward and I barley danced... I honestly wanted to go back to the hotel and get in the bed.

"Girl dance!" She kept trying to move me around but i wasn't going and eventually she stopped.

I took a seat and just watched my surroundings, i couldn't drink or nothing so i was just tensed and uncomfortable.

———

"Jilly you want something to drink?" Harmony asked me while grabbing a red cup.

"Ummm." I looked at her weird, "What kind of drink, you know—"

"Girl yes i know, it's just some juice."

"Oh." me and her both started to laugh, "Yeah i'll take some."

It was just me, her, the guy i said was familiar and his homeboy. I was about to leave though cause it wasn't no point of me being here— the party over.

She passed me the cup and i took some small sips.

"What you doing tomorrow?" She asked.

"Going to sign back up for college classes and actually finish this time."

"Ooouu period. What you going for?"

"A dental assistant." I told her. It was time i actually got through it forreal cause i'm going to need a good paying stable income. I lost interest in trying lashes
and i don't want a regular 9-5 with hard labor and low pay, therefore dental assistant it is.

"That's good." She said before she started to tap quickly on her phone, i started to hear message dings coming from her and also in the living room where that guy was.

They asses texting about me?

I listened to the notifications go back and forth, it was so obvious but i ain't say nothing.

I suddenly started feeling dizzy and my vision felt a little blurry.

The first thing i thought of...This bitch drugged me

"Kaelyn what was in that cup?" I asked her as the blurriness increased more and more.

"Huh? just juice."

"Nah." i started shaking my head, "I think—" I stopped speaking and fell back onto the floor.

I laid there stuck and trying to keep my eyes open, it wasn't long before her & the 2 guys came and stood over me.

Before i finally closed my eyes, I realized— that was the guy who had something to do with my mom dying at the hospital.
