"So, this is who you moved on to huh?" She laughed.
"Perhaps" I said sleepily.
"Fuck her. I want you back" She frowned.
"Tiana go. Deadass" I mumbled.
"No. Just give me one more chance," She said.
Journi was sleep snuggled into my neck.
"Bro no. You messed that shit up when you went to visit your ex and cheated on me" I said.
"Plus, I love it where I'm at" I smiled tracing the tattoos on her arm.
"No, you just love being a homewrecker. We both know that she has a girlfriend" Tiana said.
"Whatever Tiana. I'm not getting back with you so leave" I said.
"Fine. Imma make you regret this" She said storming out of the room.
Moments later I heard the door slam, waking Journi up.
"It's okay. Go back to sleep" I said, and she nodded, going back to sleep.
I went to lock the door and then went to sleep.
The next day...
2:12 P.M
I woke up to Journi gone.
I figured that she had a reason to leave but I wondered why she didn't wake me to tell me that she was leaving.
I shrugged it off and got ready to go to the mall. I needed more clothes.
I drove to the mall and walked inside going to a couple of stores.
On the way walking out I had to pee.
I walked into the bathroom and saw Journi literally making out with Tiana.
I-
There is no way that this is happening right now.
Oh, but it is bestie.
Tiana has her ex and Journi has her girlfriend.
So why-
I was about to walk out but somebody stopped me. I turned to see Journi with a guilty look on her face.
"I should've known. How you get em is how you lose em. But at the same time, we weren't even together" I said plainly.
I moved out of her grip and left the bathroom.
I quickly made my way home and put my things away.
I put on some lounging clothes and got in the bed. I laid on my stomach facing away from everything.
