IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES Book 2

Chapter 22

“I’m so excited about you moving!” Stacy clapped excitedly. “It’s gonna be so much fun. We get to hang out. Without Aug. Uh.” She said annoyed then took a drink.

Amber laughed.

“Leave Aug alone he’s not that bad.”

“Girl only you. Only you. Nobody in the world has enough patience to deal with his crazy ass.” Stac shook her head while taking another sip.

"Well unfortunately I love his crazy ass. I don't know why, but I do."

That made me feel good hearing that because earlier I definitely thought she was going to say she didn't want to go with me because she didn't love me anymore.

"Don't lie Amb, you love the D."

"Stac you don't know the half of it."

"And I don't want to hear none of it. Imagining his skinny ass having sex is nasty."

"He's skinny, but its not. But that's none of my business. " Amb took a drink like kermit

"ewww." Stacy pretended she was vomiting.

Amber laughed. “This is so good. We should make everybody some.”

“I don’t feel like going through all of that. I love you, so I made you one.”

“You and Travis dating?” Amb asked Stacy.

“Why?” Stacy smiled.

“I saw you flirting with him.”

“I was not flirting with that fool. He wants me.”

“If you say so. You still got a girlfriend?”

“Nah we broke up.”

“Well you and Trav can get together. Or do you not like boys too?”

“Trav is attractive. I just don’t know. I haven’t been with a guy before and after the incident I just don’t know if I feel comfortable.”

“What incident?”

“I never told you how August saved me from getting raped?”

“No. I never knew that.”

“I don’t like rehashing it, but you’re my sister so you deserve to know. See this scar.” Stacy held out her hand for Amb to look at.

“Yeah.”

“I left this party early that the Que’s were having, I had to go home and study we had a Chemistry test the next morning. I saw Aug at the party but we didn’t really fuck with each other like that. We were just lab partners, and I hated him. I thought he was arrogant and he was always rude to me.

Well these two guys was following me back to my dorm. They were obviously drunk and were saying really rude shit to me, and I just ignored them. That made them even more angry. So they both grabbed me and pulled me into an alley. Aug was leaving the party too, I guess he was going home to study. Saw me in the alley and handled them for me. He took me to the hospital because they beat me up pretty badly and I scrapped my hand on the brick wall trying to get away, which is why I have this scar.”

“Oh Stacy I’m so sorry.”

Stacy started to tear up. “It’s ok. I’m just really grateful for Aug. That's why it hurt me we didnt speak for an entire year. I really needed him and he wasnt there. Especially with my breakup and my father dying." She wiped her eyes.

Amb went over to hug her and kissed her cheek. “You guys didnt speak at school?"

"Nah not after what happened with yall. I don't play that domestic violence shit. I had to separate myself. But I beat his ass for you just so you know."
