Love Obstacles.

The next few weeks went fine.. Up until
things got weirder.
Ziari POV: Keyvon is being weird.. He isn't calling me his bae, we haven't linked.. We haven't even gotten on the phone, something is up.

Keyvon POV: I'm starting to feel like we jumped into this too fast. I really like Ziari, I do but this is my first time doing something like this.. I just need some some time to get my thoughts and shit together for real.

Ziari called Keyvon.
"Keyvon I can tell when somethings wrong.. Talk to me.. You haven't been calling me your babygirl, haven't been showing me much affection baby.. What's going on?" Ziari said calmly.
"Nothing baby I'm fine.. I'm sorry If I haven't been showing you much love and calling you my bae, I got you tho.. Ima tighten up.." Keyvon said

Keyvon POV: Shit.. Why'd I just say that? I really care for Ziari but We rushed into this, I feel like going to the talking stage is more important cause we did hop into it quick. How should I tell him though...

Days and days go by and nothing has changed from Keyvon. Still no love, Keyvon isn't communicating as much.. It's pushing Ziari away.
Ziari confronted Keyvon again.
"Listen.. I know you're wondering that but this just ain't me, I'm unsure about myself Zi, this my first time doing this and we jumped into a relationship way too fast.. Can we just work on our communication and go back to the talking stage and go from there?" Keyvon asked. He didn't even let Zi get his confrontation out because he knew what Ziari was about to say. But Ziari agreed, he felt the same way.
Weeks and weeks go past and stuff is still the same, the love and affection isn't there, it seemed like they were just friends instead of being together. Ziari mom walked in his room crying..
"Your grandma is sick again.. They don't have the money for a doctor, they don't know how long she's gonna live Zi" his mom said with tears rolling down her face.

Ziari POV: I've only met my grandmother three times in my life, I can only remember the one of those times which was 2019, the other two were when I was a baby.. However we always talked on the phone, she's helped me with so much.. I can't live without that lady, she's my everything.. I wanna go see her so bad but with everything going on, it's impossible..

Ziari, Jamari and his mom sat in the living room talking to their grandmother on the phone.
"It's too far.. It's just too far" his mom kept saying while crying.
"Don't worry depon mi mi ah be fine, i'm ready to go" His grandmother was saying.
"Don't say that grandma don't" his mom told her.. Ziari went in his room and cried in his pillow. Keyvon was supposed to be his stress reliever and his go to, but Keyvon not showing him any love was hurting Ziari, and on top of that, Ziari was losing his most important family member. Things were about to get a lot worse.
