Stick it out and work it out

Tiffany

"We don't even gotta be together" I yelled out as I pushed brandon.

Brandon's face turned red in anger as he stepped away from me.

"I'm just gone leave,cause I know you ain't mean the shit that just left yo mouth,I love you"

I sniffled and wiped away my tears in anger.

Our day was going good up until about an hour ago when brandon brought up the college conversation from a couple of weeks ago.

He believes i'm selfish for wanting to go to NYC but he has to understand that's been my dream way before meeting him,and ain't nobody gone get in the way of that.

I pushed pass him bumping his shoulder as I walked over to the door opening it.

"Goodbye brandon"

He shook his head and leaned down kissing my forehead,"I love you".

I stubbornly turned my head and closed the door after he walked out.

I sighed loudly and walked over to the couch plopping down on it.

Our first real argument,and maybe our last.

I looked back to see my mom coming down the stairs with a sad look on her face.

"You alright tiff?"

I shook my head and laid on her chest "Ma I feel bad cause he's really putting effort into us staying together,but he has to understand going to New York is a dream of mine"

She sighed and ran her hands through my hair.

"Tiff things like this is going to happen in a young relationship everybody go through it,y'all just need to sit down and talk"

"What should I do?" I looked up at her.

She smiled "tiff this is between you and brand and I can't put my say so in it just make the right choice"

I sat up off her chest so she could get up.

I rubbed my head in frustration my head hurts so bad,its hard when it comes to choosing between your future and someone you love.

I stood up and made my way upstairs to my room maybe if I take a nap I'll feel better.

Brandon

I bounced the ball of my bedroom wall as I thought on me and tiff.

I love that girl and I ain't tryna get in the way of her dreams,all I'm trying to do is make the relationship better for the both of us.

When she hinted at breaking up I know she ain't mean it she was just up set.

"Where is my usual goofy son at?"

I looked over at my mom and gave her a sad smile.

"He right here he just in his feelings"

I picked up my phone and went to my heart breaker music list.

'I did you wrong' by pleasure p filled the room.

"I don't wanna lose this relationship so we gotta stay strong don't wanna move onnn"I sung as I swayed my body to the beat.

My mom laughed and pinched my cheek "what happened baby boy?"

I sighed and laid my head on her leg,"me and tiff got in a argument today about college she wanna go to NY and I suggested that we meet in the middle but she don't wanna do that so we started fussing I told her she was selfish and she told me we don't even gotta be together"

My mom sighed and kissed my head "it's okay baby y'all both just need to calm down and talk"

I nodded and rolled over.

"You just needa...stick it out and a work it out and a stick it out cause at the end of the dayyy"my mom sung walking out.

I closed my eyes "I did you wrong you did me wrong I'll take you back youI'll take me back"
