Fifteen Minutes Of Fame

Rehab

Malik

The next morning as I was getting in my car to head to the airport I noticed something shining on my passenger seat floor. Picking it up I saw it was a earring and I knew it belong to Tyran. It was seven in the morning and my flight left at nine . It was a good thing her home was on the way to the airport I could drop it off.

When I got to the house I rung the doorbell and waited . No one answered as I started to walk away back to my car I got a glimpse through her window and there I saw legs on the floor. I quick turned back around and tried to find some type of way to get inside . Thankfully under her welcome mat there was a key. Opening the door I hurried inside to find Tyran on the floor of her living room.

On the coffee table was cocaine and a bottle of Vodka. I could tell she had done some of the cocaine due to the residue on her nose . I picked her body up and rushed her to the nearest bathroom and sat her in the stand up shower before turning on the cold water.

“Cmon wake up Tyran” I said slapping her face. I can’t believe here I was trying to bring this girl back from a overdose. Me soaking wet holding her in the shower .

It took all of five minutes before she came to coughing and stuff. I got her back out the shower and once she was calm enough I placed her in some dry clothes and laid her in her bed. I’ve done this so many times when I was younger to my mom that sitting here watching her it was like looking at my mom.

As she slept I threw away every last piece of drugs I saw or found. As I was doing that Big Abe showed up. By this time I had missed my flight and texted my manager telling him to somehow reschedule the photo shoots and interviews .

“Wassup son what you doing here”? Big Abe asked me.

I blew off and said “I came by to give her back her earring and I found her OD on the f*****g floor”.

Big Abe blew off “I shouldn’t have left when her mother told me to last night”.

I rubbed my hands down my face “what happened”?

Big Abe sat down and said “I saw when the two of you pulled up and when she got out and you drove off her mom wasted no time in getting on her case”.

“About”? I asked.

“Something about a free party” he was talking about the birthday party.

“Tyran was saying how she was doing it as a favor for you and her fan but her mom Paula didn’t like that at all. They got into about money and s**t and then Ty leaves . Paula tells me I’m off for the night so I left about a hour ago I called Ty’s phone to see if she was alright her mom had said some nasty s**t to her when she didn’t answer I came over. Son this isn’t the first time she’s OD”.

I wanted to know what nasty things she said, but the constant OD was more important.

“How many times”?

Big Abe sigh and said “this will be the fourth time. Um she OD after her father died , once a short time after that the blogs found out about then on her moms wedding night and this morning”.

I rubbed my hands down my face and said “she’s so talented and it sad to see her go through this. She just reminds me of my ....” I stopped and big Abe said “your mother”?

I nod and continued “why doesn’t her mom get her help”?

Big Abe answered “she tried, but Ty is so stubborn . The rehab Paula tried to get her to go to was tied to the label. Ty thought if she went whatever came out of the rehabilitation would be leaked to the media. Ty doesn’t trust Paula because to her Paula has never been a mother instead she’s been a manager .

I shook my head and stood up “I’m going to go check on her . Don’t tell her mom about this I don’t need her showing up let this OD stay between me and you”.

“Someone needs to know son I can’t have this happen again she needs help”.

I spoke “and I’m going to help her. I got it from here”.

Tyran

When I came to I heard something moving in my closet. Sitting up slowly I asked “who’s in there mom I hope you not stealing my stuff”.

He comes walking out and I was shocked to see him with a suitcase in both hands . “Malik what...what’s going on”?

He sat the bags down and reached in his pocket before tossing my earring at me.

“I came by to return this . Found your druggy ass OD downstairs . You are to talented for that s**t aren’t you sick of the s**t Tyran”?!

He sounded angry as he talked to me “why do you care huh”?

Malik just stared at me and then he walked over to the bed . “Get up”!

Grabbing me by my arms he snatched me up out the bed and pulled me to the mirror.

“Look at you this isn’t the beautiful girl I saw yesterday this right here is a f*****g drug addict . If you don’t get your f*****g s**t together everything you and your parents worked so hard for will go down the drain. I need you to get back to the girl I saw in that video when she was five. I need you to resurrect that young girl that died when her father died, because this women we looking at right now ain’t it”.

Confused I asked “so where am I going”?

Malik spoke “with me, so put some shoes on”!

I spoke “I don’t even know you like that and you don’t know me....”

“Dammit Ty get your f*****g shoes on I’m not going to say it again”! I jumped because his stern voice sounded like my father.

“Look just put your shoes on please” he said quickly after. My body was moving and I don’t know why . He had called up his car service and before I knew I was on a plane to God knows where. There were times in my head where I thought of running away and or screaming, but I didn’t because I saw something in his eyes back at my place. He really meant everything he was saying .

“Here is your phone I won’t keep you from the world but I didn’t block your mothers number and put on your social media platforms that you were going to rehab. Big Abe knows about this and agreed to handle your mom. It’s up to you if you wanna unblock your mom and the label reps if you want”.

I grabbed the phone and sat it in my purse . “I’m good” was all I said before looking back out the window into the sky. Why was it so easy to trust this man who I barely knew?

When the plane landed I learned then we were in Georgia.

“Welcome to my home” he said as we walked out to his car service.

I was all the way across the country and this was also my first time in Georgia .

“This is the start of rehabilitation Ty”.
