Serayah POV
I have been constantly back and forth from Chicago and Florida lately and it was getting tiring. I was getting ready to move back to Cali because I was done with school and training to become a teacher, I have been packing boxes since I left FL because I did get an apartment. The campus living was not for me all the tight spaces and I didn't like sharing a room with people I didn't know. I was taking down some pictures I had hung up in my apartment and many were of me and Jarad. I met Jarad in school, we had the same science and worked on a couple of projects together. He was the type of bad guy that girls didn't want because he wasn't a "hood" guy. I mean he used to slang drugs but he was smart, I mean like actually intelligent, when he wasn't doing drugs you could hear it in the way he spoke. Ayana called me and let me know that X would be out by next month, which was good because he went to jail for false information, also they were building this "case" since the start of his career. I am pretty sure all they wanted was money and his ex was mad that Ayana looked and carried herself way better. Not going to lie since I met the guys and girls I have been a little hot-headed, I have been in way more arguments and fights as well. I finish putting up all the pictures in boxes and all I had to leave was pack up the rest of my clothes. I was gone by the end of the week. I turn the tv on and watch some cartoons and there was a knock on the door. I was confused because it was around 10 at night and I wasn't expecting anyone. I get up and check the peephole of the door and to my surprise, it is the one and only Juice Wrld at my door. I open it in shock because he was all sad, he had been crying and he had a backpack with him.
"Jarad what are you doing here?"
He just looked at me with tears in his eyes, walked past me, and sat on the couch. I lock the door and sit next to him. That's when he started to ball like a baby and he put his head in my lap. I just sat there and let him cry. I had a feeling it was about Lidia but I didn't ask yet at least, I held him and we were there all night in silence and the sound of him crying.
May POV:
I just left a boring class. I had two papers to write and one is on making a script for a podcast of my choice. Sometimes I really wish I could have my own interview show or podcast. So I had journalism as a minor and marketing as a major. I needed my own show, book, podcast, or anything. As long as I owned it I was good. I got in my car and I was thinking about checking on my parents so I did. I pulled into the driveway and walked to the door, I still had my key so I unlocked it.
"Hey mommy"
Mom: "My daughter has come to visit."
"Mom I have no house, I technically live here."
Dad: "Not when you are always at that boy's house."
"I am not always at his house now. I stay with Bianka sometimes."
Mom: "I don't like that you are bouncing from house to house, please let us help you in getting an apartment."
"No mom, I appreciate it really but I am 20 next year. You both helped with the first apartment. I will figure it out soon I promise. No more bouncing from house to house."
Mom: "Okay you just remember that you can always come to us for help. How is the hair business going?"
"It's going good." I did hair and occasionally makeup in college to help make some money so I can put it to an apartment and a new car. I made over 1k from doing it so far, but I had bills to pay and housing was expensive. "I'm not making as much as I want but it keeps me fed and my bills paid."
Dad: "That's that matters right now."
I talk with my parents and eat there. It was getting late and I still had homework, I packed a bag of fresh clothes and said my goodbyes. I was sleeping at Stoke's house tonight. So I pulled in and when I walked in the house he was on the couch playing games.
"Hey boo"
"Aye, what's up ma, you staying for long or just the night?"
"Why it matters? You got hoes coming through or something?"
"Yep and I don't want them seeing you, you might make em jealous or scared."
"Boy shut the hell up you know you not having no girls in the secret house of yours except me."
We laughed and he got off the game and played music. I hugged him and put my clothes in the drawer.
"I wouldn't pack the clothes all the way up if I was you."
"Yeah? Why not?" I said still taking the clothes out the bag and placing them in my drawer.
"We are taking a trip."
"A trip? I don't have money to travel Stokeley and you know that."
"I'll cover it. We goin to Chicago, something happened with Jarad and Serayah doesn't know what's going on. We just going there to support them that's all."
"Well, I wish you would've told me before I left my parent's house all my jackets and staff are there. You really know how to plan a surprise your bum."
"Yeah yeah yeah, it's not even that cold up there. You can wear the jackets you already have and a few of mine and you will be good."
"Your annoying."
"That's my job I am your best friend"
"You not my friend kid, you fake. Have you heard anything about Jah?"
"Yea he gets out next month, just in time for Christmas and New Years'. He's gon miss thanksgiving though, all that good food."
"You are so fat mentally and yet you are so skinny."
"You act like you gain when you eat."
"Boy please." I started taking out my stuff to take a shower.
"You don't, I mean your butt get's big but other than that." he said making a face of uncertainty.
"So you looking at my butt?"
"Can you blame me?"
"No, I look at you too," I said and hit him with a pillow.
He threw and pillow back and it turned into a pillow fight. We stopped we just stared at each other, then he kissed me and I kissed back. We have been friends for just over a year and though I liked him forever, I believed he would never like me back. This kiss felt like it been held back since the day we met. It was just a kiss at the moment though so I am not going to breathe too much into it.
"Sorry, I-. My bad May"
"Just remember I ain't no groupie."
"You never were to me."
"Ima take a shower now."
I get up and take my stuff to the bathroom. I can't believe I was going to Chicago with no warning. When I wake up I have to pack because we leaving tomorrow night. I texted Serayah and let her know that I agreed to come, took my shower, and went to sleep.
