Terrell Anthony Smith (17)

"What happened with you and Brae'lynn" Dior asked.

We were on face time.

"Nothing" I said.

"Nah cause you was yelling at for no reason" Dior said.

"She was just touching on me and I ain't like that shit" I said dryly.

Dior looked at me with the "Now why you lying" face.

"What nigga" I said.

"Well she said that you was letting her touch you but then you started acting different" Dior explained.

Oh shit-

"Nah that ain't happened" I said knowing damn well it did.

"Mhm but I got to go, love you bro" Dior said.

"Love you too sis" I said then I hung up.

"Was that your girlfriend?" My Nephew Roman asked.

Everyone thought that me and Dior had something going on.

But we were just close friends.

Like a brother and sister bond.

"No and get out my room" I replied.

He laughed and ran out my room.

I'm not gonna lie I felt kinda bad about what I did to Brae'lynn.

Like I think she's fine asf but I just  don't want the others to know.

When we locked eye's the other  day I lowkey started blushing.

My Nephew started crying and I ran to his room.

"You good roman" I asked.

"I miss mommy and daddy" he said while holding a picture of my brother Jase  and his wife Maria.

Jase and Maria got stabbed by a random man on drugs.

Jase died but Maria is still in the hospital.

I missed them too but I tried not to get Emotional in front of my family.

I kneeled down and hugged Roman.

"Its okay i miss them too" I said.

"TERRELL AND ROMAN THE FOOD IS READY" My mom yelled.

Roman and I went downstairs.

"Ooooo this is smelling good" I said.

My mom chuckled.

She made some Mac and cheese with fried chicken.

We all sat down and ate.

I started getting sad cause they're was one chair empty.

Jase always sat in that chair........
