always & forever..

021

a few weeks later...

yes, i am single.

yes, i avoid mike.

no, i am not pregnant.

the pill lasts for about five days to a week, so i was good.

i woke up as usual, happy, and energized.

i got dressed, and smiled at myself.

i haven't done this in a long time.

i walked out my bedroom, and i saw lani, and aiden coming out of his.

i'm so happy for them.

they are like a perfect match, and it makes me smile every time i see them.

except when they be fucking..

but i think it's time for me to get someone.

mami, and aunt jess always pressure for me and mike to talk, i always ignore the situation.

i mean i have to, i almost became a bm.

we walked down to my car, and when i got to the bottom of the stairs, mami was there.

"bree, let's talk for a second." she says.

"okay.. aiden go start the car, and please don't fuck.." i sigh.

they shrug, and they go out to the car, leaving me and mami in the living room.

"so, what's up?" i ask.

"today we're gonna have a family to family conversation." she says looking at me.

i sigh, and rub my temple.

"why? why can't we all just be over this whole situation, he's happy, i'm happy, what's wrong?"

"the problem is you guys are avoiding each other, and it shows. that's not cool." mami says.

"and since when are you the therapist?" i ask her.

"since i said 'i do' to your father, now go to school, and be good." she says kissing my cheek.

i return one, and i walk out the door, and i go to my car,

i drive to school, eating my pineapples as always.

we pull up into the parking lot in front of the school, and we get out walking up to the doors.

on the way, it was like in slow motion.

i look to the side, and i saw them together, him holding her while talking to the other football players.

she sees me, and grabs his chin to kiss him.

then smiles at me.

i look forward, and i walk into the bathroom.

i look at myself in the mirror, and i smile.
