Cynter of Attention

I'm Sorry (Part II)

Lau

Ring....... Ring......... Ring.......

"Hello?"

"Hey it's Cyn.."

Her voice almost brought me to tears.

"Is Larry Okii, he still made at me?!"

"He's fine and he's sleeping right now, so I don't know."

She paused before starting again.

"Lau."

"Yes?"

"What happened?"

"I was mad because he tell me about you two I didn't wanna believe it, because I still love you, But I love Amber first. I guess I was more hurt than anything. I never wanna fight my brother, ever. He everything to me and now I lose him and I don't know what to do."

I hated this I wanted to tell my brother I'm sorry for what said and what I did. I cried as soon as he left and I kept calling his phone but he didn't answer, he never answers his phone when I call, which pisses me off deeply.

"It's ok we're coming home as soon as he wakes up, ok?"

"Okii."

Two hours had passed and my mind and body couldnt take the anxiety any longer. I rose to my feet and started pacing back and forth once again from my phone to the couch waiting for them to come back. I had never been this nervous and frustrated in my life, but I was mainly scared... Scared because of the thought of my brother hating me for lashing out on him would mess up what we had, he was my best friend and I wouldn't know what to do if he shut me out. I heard Amber huff in frustration and I turned my attention towards her. She was standing, frowing at me pointing towards one of the chairs in the living room.

"Sit the hell down." She growled at me. She always got like this when she thought I was overeacting to something, so because I was to stressed and overwhelmed to argue, I sat in the chair. She sighed in exhaugstion lowering herself next to me, taking my hands in hers.

"It's ok, Lau. You know how much your brother loves you, he's not the kind to hold this against you." Her calm voice somehow got my muscles to relax. I laid my head on her shoulders as she pecked my hand. I couldn't take sitting in the house after a while, I grew angry so I decided to take a walk, to where, anywhere, everywhere just not sitting in this irritating, piece of shit house. Amber insisted on coming and I let her come, as Long as she stood behind me. I didn't want anything reminding me of the situation. Right now, I hated California, it was snob-assed and expensive, people were rude as shit and most of the food wasn't as near as good as reviews said. Honestly I never understood why people adored this place so much, nothing stood out to me to be amazing, maybe I was just too upset to see it. When I get to the corner of Amber's street I kept my pace across, eyeing the massive sculpted fountain that spewed water from all angles. I observe my surroundings, realizing the sidewalks were scarce. Relief falls upon my irritated soul once I knew I didn't have to be bothered by others for the time being, I wasn't in the mood for anything except returning home to Paris so I didn't have to waste time dealing with strange people I gave no fucks about, at least that what I wanted to do. My body still rang of soreness from Larry tackling me into the glass table and the fury returns. I shake my head avoiding the images sifting in my head. I'm yanked from my thoughts by Amber's shrieking and a blaring horn of a familiar black Avenger. I pause and look at the driver who swings the door open. Larry, enraged, reveals himself from the car looking at me like I had lost my mind.

"Bro pay attention!!"

Larry pointed up at the traffic light, showing a now green light, going on and on about he could've just ran me over to teach me a lesson. I sigh in exasperation, waiting on him to finish his rant when he grabs me by the neck warmer violently. I tense up, preparing for another round of our brawl. I didn't want to fight, but this nigga wasn't gonna keep touching me like this, thinking I'm not gonna throw the first punch.

"Get off me Larry."

He tossed me, digging his knuckles into my neck as he pushed me away.

"We gotta talk."

He announced coldly as Amber took his place in the drivers seat. I noticed Cyn and I waved at her. She smiled and waved politely mouthing me to behave, both of us. I nodded and sprinted behind Larry who kept walking ahead of me. When I caught with up beside him, I continued to walk, scanning over the dimly lit area taking in the beauty that I refused to see before.

"Lau."

I realized Larry's voice lingered behind and me as I turned to him, strolling back in his direction.

"Yeah?"

"What you said about me love Cyn because she start to love you was wrong. You know I love her, no matter if she love you or not. I love her since the day-"

"Since the day you see her dance, I know, Larry. I was mad, you don't tell me stuff no more, I was hurt and I want you to feel hurt too, but I was wrong for say that. I'm sorry."

He shook his head stepping closer to me.

"No, I'm sorry for put my hands on you I promise I no do that again..."

I heard cracking in his voice like he was breaking down and because my sensitive ass takes on emotions of others, a wave of sadness fills my heart and eyes, causing tears to fall heavily down my cheeks. I reached from him, squeezing him into a tight hug not wanting to free him.

"I'm so sorry Larry!!"

He chuckle as we let go of each other.

"We be sorry together."

He smiled turning to head back to the house I beamed as we walked catching up on the three week that we spent without each other. I was glad that he enjoyed his time with Cyn's family, one day I would love to meet them not the grandma though we wouldn't get alone at all for the simple fact that she treated my brother so rudely during his stay. His face suddenly changed from blissful to worried in a matter of seconds.

"What's wrong?"

"I think something wrong with Cyn, but she no tell me what."

He stops at the corner turning to me.

"What you mean, explain?"

"She sick all the time now, she can't keep nothing down. She say she fine but I don't think so."

"Well, take her to hospital."

He frowned, implying that he already mentioned it and she declined. I shrugged my shoulders when another suggestion popped in my brain. I quickly try burying it in the back of my head, knowing that Larry could tell when I had something on my mind.

"I'm sure is nothing serious."

"I hope not."

We reached the house and pushed the heavy applewood doors open. This was only part of Amber's house I fucking hated, I was the only one who complained about the doors being too hard to move, they were ridiculously large and it wasn't necessary. Larry laughed stopping me from pushing.

"You do this every time. Pull that thing at the bottom."

I glanced down, spotting a small piece of metal connected to the door that planted in a small hole. I pulled it up and the door fell open, almost smashing me in the face. I returned the metal stopper to the other side of the door once we got inside. We made our way to the living room to see Amber, her cousin, Elle, and Cyn gathered around in the living room. Elle and Amber looked pale while Cara bounced her baby happily, smiling brightly at her cooing bundle of cuteness.

"Y'all Okii?"

Larry asked, walking down to play with the baby, poking her cheeks to make her squealing in delight.

"Yeah all is good here, what about you two?" Cyn asked eying both of us. We both smiled and ran to her, wrapping our arms around her, planting a kiss on each cheek.

"We good."
