I stepped out of the black abyss and walked upon the Earth. I stretched my arms out, it's so good to be back. After everything that happened, l learned what happens when you have emotions but this time I'm not going to have any. It's not like a genuinely had them anyway it was all a hoax, it was a little game I played and it backfired but this time it won't. Everyone really thought I had feelings, well your mistakenly wrong that was all just good acting. Pitiful, that people are so easily deceived.

    I walked down the streets of Las, Vegas Nevada. I signaled for a cab, and got inside and told the gruff looking man the directions to the campus dorms.

     We pulled up to the University. I got out of the cab, but not before paying the uber and then I  started to walk on campus but not before winking at a few girls, sending them into a frenzy. I had that affect on girls and I loved it , it never felt so good to be back.

     I started my walk to the boys' dorm but not before I hear my name being called. I turned around to have Heaven's piercing eyes staring at me with awe.

      "Justin, where have you been? I've been worried sick you just up and left without telling me anything. I mean how could you do that! And you didn't even come to church. You bailed on me-"

       "Heaven, did you really think we had something? I mean I was just playing you. I never liked nor loved you. I didn't even enjoy the time I had with you. Babe, you were just another card in my stack. I just wanted to get in your pants but you weren't giving it up so I bailed on you. Sorry I thought you understood that." I said indolently.

    "Understood? What do you mean? You were opening up to me. You were showing me your true self. You said people didn't understand you, but I did. You said you liked me and you wanted to make things work. You played with me? Toyed with my emotions. Where's the Justin I know."

   "I'm right here. I'm just not the person you think I am. I mean really Heaven, you thought I meant all that stuff. I was just fucking with you, baby girl,"I said looking away to see Za and another guy approaching me. "Listen, Heaven, I've got to go. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." I turned away to walk and meet Za and the boy halfway but only to be pulled back by a firm feminine tug.

    "Justin but I-I-I love you. So much. You can't just leave me like this. I want you, I need you. Just please don't go. I can be better, I can be the girl you want. I can change for you. Just don't leave. Stay with me, Justin, cause your all I need." She said her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.

    "I'm sorry." Then I turned around and walked away. I didn't feel anything, I can't feel emotions. It's my curse and my blessing. Heaven felt too much and that is the reason why I couldn't feel. I knew if I could feel, I would run back to her and beg for her forgiveness. Luckily, though, I can't. I have no heart, literally and metaphorically. I'm not human nor am I real. I'm a demon walking upon the Earth to fulfill a mission. Even though I can't feel emotions, I can identify others. I can tell when someone's demented, bereaved, displeased. I don't feel them though, I can just identify them but unfortunately I can't identify my own. I do have feelings, I just shut them off. Ever since I came back I can't feel. So I shut them off. And basically I have none. I knew, though, if I felt again I would run back to Heaven and I can't do that. Seeing her in distress made me feel- wait stop, stop I can't feel, don't feel. Not feeling is probably the hardest thing I've ever done but I can't because it would just all backfire in the end. So I'm stuck being heartless and not loving anyone. The sad thing about this though is, I don't know how to love and sometimes I think I don't want to but in many ways I think I need too.

    Za and the boy beside him approached me. "Hey man, we saw that little disagreement. Trouble is paradise maybe? Let me guess, she wouldn't put out so you cut ties with her?" Za said snickering.

    "Woah. How did you guess?" I said sarcastically.

    "I'm a mind-reader maybe," He said shrugging nonchalantly. "Since you seem like a cool ass guy, I won't say I told you so. Anyway this is my friend, Khalil, and we were heading out to the club. 'Wanna join?"

    "Sure. I have nothing else better to do. Plus maybe a can catch a bad 'shawty tonight."

      "Justin, please don't ever say that again. You trying to act ghetto will only make me hate you. I mean really "shawty" no. No one's even said that since like, Sean Kingston." Za said laughing. Even Khalil chuckled a little. Only making me turn bright red.

     "Let's just go guys." I said leading the way and trying to cover my red embarrassed cheeks.

      "Yeah, let's. We're driving my Ferrari F430." Khalil said now leading the way to his cutting-edge, exorbitant car.

      We all got in the plush car. I felt the leather seats and then I knew I was in love. This car was alluring!

      "Damn, Khalil! How the fuck did you get this?" I asked while smelling the new car smell. Don't judge me we all secretly do that. (A/n my secret addiction is I love the smell of gasoline!)

      "Rich ass friends. It pays to know people Justin, take notes." He said from the drivers' seat. Revving up the engine and pulling out expeditiously.

       "So, my niggas, this is the plan. Okay so we are going to Olympic Garden. (A/n that's an actual place, look it up.) We stick together. If one goes we all go. And one of us has to be sober to take care of everyone else. Alright let's do this the adult way to see who stays sober. Ready one, two, three. Nose goes." Za said quickly putting his index finger on his nose. He looked like an overgrown six year old. "Well sadly Justin, my man, it looks like you have to stay sober. Sorry." He said cheekily, knowing damn well he wasn't.

    "Y'all are babies. I will do it." Rolling my eyes I started to get out of the car before, Za pulled me back in the car. "You might need these," He said pulling out a lot of one's. "Now we can leave."

      We all got out of the car and walked into the club together. I was wondering why I needed the one's but my question was answered when I walked inside. Inside there were a number of round tables and each round table had a pole through it. And a individual stripper was on each table.

      "Za! You brought us to a damn club." I said whipping my head so quick Willow Smith would be ashamed. "It's not a strip club, you dumb fuck. It's adult entertainment, okay. This is high priced shit right here man. It cost a fifty dollars each to get in and you have to pay the dancer man. You act so naive, I swear."

      "Za. Man I'm worried about you, you know all this shit about the difference between dancer and stripper. And strip club and adult entertainment. I mean it's basically the same. Why you have to be so technical? Wait I forgot your dream job is to be a porn star." Khalil said laughing goofily. "Haha Khalil your joke is so funny I forgot to fucking laugh." Za said rolling his eyes so hard I'm surprised they didn't get stuck in his head.

     After our mini girly ass arguments we finally sat down at the bar. Khalil and Za thought it was cute to taunt me with drinks and then drink them in front of me. They got completely wasted. All I know is one moment I'm excusing myself to use the bathroom and the when I come back, according to the bartender, Khalil and Za are in one of the backrooms with a few strippers. Me trying to be, uh I guess you call, good maybe. I don't know something a person would do when they are trying to help. Yeah I think that word is good. I go to the back of the club and is appalled to see about twenty different doors and lascivious noises coming from all of them I decided to head back to the bar.

     Breaking our rule I had multiple alcoholic beverages. "More." I held up my drink so the bartender could pour me more. He picked up the bottle of Devil Springs Vodka and poured more in my shot glass. (A/n btw the irony IKR! But that's a real drink and it's like one of the strongest alcoholic beverages.) I downed my shot quickly. Seeing something out of my peripheral vision I turn my head to see a stunning brown goddess. She was more covered up then the rest of the strippers. I inebriated walked over to her. She was surprisingly standing alone in the corner of the room. I wrapped my arms around my arms around.

     "H-heyyy b-bae want to d-dance with me." I said smiling widely. I leaned down and kissed her nose. Only to have her give me a priceless look. "Woah you must be really drunk. I can't believe you kissed my nose," She said giggling. "Let's continue this in the back room." She said temptingly.

     She lead me in one of the room's in the back. And all I remember was asking her one thing. "W-hat is yourrr name." I said slurring my words as she got on top of me. "My name's Promise." She said. Then everything went black.
