Chapter Three: Distraction

Destin & Kehlani in media 💕

Destin's P.O.V I am shocked, confused and just like sharae I have questions. " I should go, before I do, do you have Sharae's number, I wanted to check on her" I gave Kehlani her number . " call me when you get home boo" I said to my sis " you too bro". Kehlani left in her car " you might as well follow her to your place, I don't want to hear it right now destin" whatchu mean she don't feel like hearing it. " mama whatchu mean you don't want to hear it right now? Mama you know you wrong, that girl is 30 years old and now you tell her!" " Respect your mother destin" Uncle Charle stepped in " I can't respect a liar" mama shot her head towards me and she got up in my face " boy who is you talking to, I raised you, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, Now I said I DO NOT want to talk about it, do I make myself clear" she said I was going yo say something and she interrupted me and said "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" She shouted " yes..ma'am" I grunted through my teeth " now go call your sister, I'm pretty sure she would love to hear from you vs hearing from me." She said sitting down lighting a cigarette. " you still need to talk to her mama, soon" I said walking out the door. I called sharae three times and her phone was sent to voicemail. I got in my car and headed over to keh's to vent to her what she saw, shit I don't even know what I just saw.

Sharae's P.O.V

I have been drinking since I came home. Shawn came by and picked up Josiah for the rest of the weekend. I had white, I had brown, I had beer seltzer. Nothing worked. Now I'm over drunk as skunk and my problems,my answers, my anxiety has not been answered, even when I try to find them through my vices. I'm in the living room smoking a blunt and letting the music drown out my emotions, I was feeling it, I wasn't feeling sick. I was just hella drunk. ' I don't wanna be alive, I don't wanna be aliveee. I just wanna die today, I just wanna dieeee' this song was speaking straight through me. I picked a bottle of jack and took a swig. That shit was strong. I took another light to the blunt and puffed it. I got a call on my phone from an Oakland number flash across my screen. " yo" I slurred. " hey, it's keh, I just called to check on you is everything okay with you?" That's really sweet I just met her today and she called. My mother didn't even call me. " no I- drink a lot and now I feel like shit, it's not like it's helping though. My questions aren't answered. " I slurred out " yeah it be like that. Do you need me and destin to come over?" " No" i sniffled " I don't want to around anyone! I just wanna die keh, my whole life has been a lieee bro. I had no mother to show me how to be one myself. I had to teach myself. But for what? Her selfishness!!, then 30 years later you just wanna tell me this shit. Maybe I should kill myself to hurt her! My child got over 40 million dollars in his college savings plus the insurance I have on myself!" I was drunk rambling on the phone with keh. " stop talking like that Rae, I'm getting destin and we are coming to you" " no no no" the dial tone ended the phone call. I just sat back in my chair holding my knees to my chest and cried

Kehlani's P.O.V I hung up on sharae and called destin. I heard my front door open and I looked on my phone to see who came in the front door. It was destin I rushed downstairs to tell him we need to go to Sharae's " why you calling my phone, I was on my way here already" " we need to go to Sharae's now" I told destin what happened and he went to the car to wait on me, I went back into my room to get my keys wallet and shoes. " keh you just got here, where you going now" my girlfriend kiara said with a towel wrapped around her. " I have to go check on a friend in a time of need." I told her. " okayyy" she said rolling her eyes " Ki, what is that about" I said sitting on the bed next to her. " You just came back from destin bbq with his mom now you gotta check on another friend. You been distant for 3 weeks now, using your friends as an outlet to run away from what happened." She tried to touch my thigh, I moved quickly. " why don't you remind me what happened ki, you cheated on me, and it wasn't a quick fuck you was sleeping with this girl for a year straight! And I found out 3 weeks ago when I saw her number in your phone. But yet you want me to be all up under you like you were up under her" I said to kiara. " baby it was a mistake" she said on her knees " it was only a mistake because you got caught, a year is more than a mistake kiara, you and gia started FUCKING a year after we got together." She pull me in "Move ki I'm going to check on sharae" she let me go " who is sharae?, one of the many of your stud friends" she said sounding jealous. " bye kiara and your ass better be gone by time I come back, and don't think I won't get a notification on my phone if you don't leave" I walked downstairs and met destin in the car. " I heard y'all arguing" Damn that boy got some good ears " yeah same ol same ol" i said tirelessly. " come on let's go check on Rae" destin put her address in the gps and we followed the directions to her house

1 hour later

We finally made it to Sharae's home in LA. It took us an hour to get here, I hope she didn't do anything crazy. We got to her door and we been banging on it for 20 minutes. " if she had an extra key where would it be" I said to destin. We were looking around and I saw a flower pot. " check under the flower pot" I found a key " bingo" we stuck the key in and turn, giving us access to her home. Loud music, weed and alcohol filled the air. " SHARAE!!!" Destin hollered out, no answer " sharae it's keh and destin!!!" Still no answer. I heard a shower running and I ran upstairs, destin followed. We found sharae naked, curled up , in the shower crying into her chest. " Rae?" Destin said going over to her. I cut the shower water off and went into the shower along with destin. " why destin why? Why would she do that me. I always use to think something was wrong with me, why everyone had a mom and I didn't. She took that away from me.she took that away from my son. I just thank god that he guided me and still is because I didn't have a mother figure, nothing. Prostitution at 15 taught me how to be a woman. I didn't have to go through any of that if she would've kept me. What kind of mother gives away their child" she talked in between the crying. I felt bad for her, I know exactly how she feels in the mama department. " destin why man? Was I not worth it, what was it bro. I don't understand" she cried into me and destin arms. After a hour of her vent session. We decided to smoke with her. " you good Rae" I asked her. Sharae sat on the couch looking like a ghost. " yeah" she one worded-me,puffing on her blunt. Destin got a call and went to a quieter area in the house " aht aht come here sharae" she came to me, I grabbed her by her face. We looked each other in the eyes, she was in pain deeply. " from what I seen today, you are a great person. you'll figure out how to get through this. Me and destin are here, you're not alone anymore, okay" I pulled her in for a kiss and she reciprocated the energy and kissed me back. " you don't have to kiss me because you feel sorry for me" she said sadly with her head down " I know but I had to do something to get your mind off your troubles, even if it's just a simple kiss between friends, Are you down to be."I started " a distraction baby? But don't distract me. Lemme ask you baby, do you do you wanna be a distraction baby" she finished the verse of my song and giggled . she lifted her head up and reach out her arms for a hug " thanks keh, you didn't have to come all this way." I gave in the hug " that's what friends are for girl, us lesbians have to stick together." We both bust out laughing " thanks girl I needed that laugh" we hugged again. Destin came in " oh this what we doing when I'm gone, I just found out you are my sister, y'all definitely ain't taking it no further than friends." We laughed at his comment because we knew he was serious. Sharae got up to go to the fridge and go some left over from the bbq and put it in the microwave. " I'm your OLDER sister, remember that" she said eating her food. Me and destin ordered Uber eats and our food came quick. " so which one of your men called you at this hour?" Sharae said while we were in the living room eating our food. " first of all bitch, that wasn't no man. That was mother" sharae stop chewing her food and looked at destin. She swallowed her food quickly. " she called you but hasn't even picked up the phone to call me. Wow" she said before picking up her fork to eat her chicken salad. " that's what she called for, she wants to talk to you in the morning." I can tell she thought about it first but surprisingly she said yes. After we ate, destin went to shower and change in the downstairs bathroom and got his clothes out of the guest room. He told me he's been to Sharae's LA home many of times, so when he leaves his clothes, sharae just wash them and put them in the guest room. Now as for me, I have nothing to wear, I didnt expect to stay this long but it's too late to drive on the road. " you can take a shower upstairs since destin is using the downstairs one. I have some pj shorts and a tshirt you can wear, it's big but i like my sleeping clothes a lil airy." I grabbed the clothes and headed up to her upstairs shower. I came out after 45 minutes and I was looking for sharae and destin, they were in her double king size bed, watching tv and smoking a blunt. " now why do you need a bed this big?" I asked " so she can have enough room for fucking, witcho nasty ass" destin said to sharae. " well he ain't lying" she laughed. " well I know you don't want to alone in this big ass bed, so keh do you want to stay in the room with us?" Destin asked me while him and sharae pulled out puppy dog eyes. " okay I will, but don't be feeling on my booty sharae" I said climbing in. " I'll try not to" I laughed.me and destin were in the middle of her. " why I gotta be in the middle" sharae said " Cause you our chocolate baby" I said as me and destin hugged her from each side " oh my god stop please" sharae said causing us laughing. We watched reality tv all night until we fell asleep.

The next morning

Sharae's P.O.V

I was downstairs cooking breakfast for everyone before we head out back to Oakland. I heard arguing from Kehlani in the living room. " I am grown kiara, if I want to spend the night with a friend, I will fucking do that shit. Do not project your insecurities onto me. Get the fuck off my phone" she hung the phone and threw herself and phone onto my couch. " ughhhh" she groan out loud. I was done with breakfast and I gave keh her plate. " ouu eggs, cheese grits, cauliflower hash brown, pancakes and a biscuit, yeah we definitely going for a run after your meeting with your mom. You gone make my hips wide with this" I busted out laughing " maybe that's what I'm trying to do" I winked causing her to laugh " girl you crazy" she replied. " let me go wake up the sleeping king" I laughed " enjoy your breakfast and I already have your clothes, wash, dried and fold for you to put on after you shower" I said walking upstairs " thank you!" She shouted. You know at first I thought Kehlani would be stuck up and distant but she's really a cool girl, now do I want her to be mine personally? Hell yeah but I like to take things slow, we all can get to know each other before moving serious. that's if she feels the same, if she doesn't it's cool I'll just play my role as her friend. " Destin wake up" I said quietly. " Pinch this nipple daddy" he said under his breathe, I laughed quietly. " DESTIN!" He jumped up looking confused as hell. " Pinch this nipple daddy?" I screamed " what were you dreaming about lil brother" I said holding in my laugh " none of your damn business, bitch I'm grown and- do I smell breakfast" he ran downstairs. I ran behind him and we saw keh finishing her plate. " if you bussin it down I know it's good, fix me a plate sis" I laugh and fixed him a plate then myself. We ate our breakfast and head out the door. I drove my car and destin and Kehlani drove in destin car. I made it my mothers house, I finally made up to the step with a turning feeling in my stomach. I knocked on the door. The door instantly open showing my mom. " hi" is all I said to her " hi, come in" I came in and we sat on the couch. I'm not gone lie I still wanted smoke but I need my answers. " so what is it that you want to talk to me about au- mother?" I said catching myself " I know you have a lot of questions" she paused to place her hand on top of mines. As soon as she did that the walls came crumbling down and I felt a tear stream on my face. She told me everything and I mean everything. All of answers were questions but one. " why did it take you so long to tell me? I'm 30 years old mom, me and josiah spent plenty of summers here before I turned 18, why?" " I don't know, I was scared of your reaction, what you might think of me afterwards" she said holding her head down " I .. me.. that's all I heard, it was about you, even though it might've been hard to wrap my head around it at a younger age, did you think of me?" I said crying. " look, in order for me to move further with this relationship, you have to be 100 percent honest with me, mom" she shook her head agreeing as tears were rolling down her face. " now I've been raised around you as my aunt, but can I please get to know you as my mom?" " yes baby yes" she hugged me, I hugged back crying hard into her arms. I felt her hand rubbing my back. " oh my baby, I'm so sorry" our reunion got interrupted by feet coming up close to us. We broke our hug and saw bri with a confused look on her face. " Brianna what are you doing home, I thought you left for school already" my mom said in confusion " I didn't feel good today, I decided to stay home" I was reading her energy and something was off. " sit down me and sharae have something to tell you" mom said " okay" she sat by the table. " sharae is your older sister" she spat out " wait what?! how?" She said upset " me and mom just talked about it, I'm still in shock myself but" I was cut off by Brianna breaking into a tantrum and slammed the glass flower pot on the table. " I know you're upset child but you need to calm down" mama yelled " I'm sorry mama, but this family always keeps secrets and sweep them under the rug" she said crying. Whoa I did not know she would've react like this. I wonder what's really wrong. What other secrets have they been keeping amongst each other. " it's no longer a secret baby" my mom said rubbing her face. " it's not that mama , I'm happy you're my sister " she snatched away from her. " then what is is bri?" I said concerned " mama, uncle Charle has been raping me for 3 weeks now and he told me not to tell anyone, not even you." she cried in mamas arms. I stood up like what the fuck. Oh this nigga gotta die.
