Tamia
I stayed up all night waiting on Ariel to get back. It's now 8 in the morning and I'm worried.
The living room door opens and I smile. It goes away as soon as I see Mila walk into the living room.
I start to say something till I notice she's crying. "Um, what's wrong?" I ask.
She looks at me with the meanest look before tossing her phone at me. I pick it up and see it's texts between her and Ariel. I read Ariel's last text and then slide the messages over to see what time she sent it.
Slime💚🤟🏽: I can't keep doing this shit man. Some gotta give and maybe that's me leaving. I need a break before I kill my brother and I'm trying my hardest to prevent that. I'm tired. Tired of losing everything I've put my time and effort in. Tired of feeling like I can't win for losing. I'm leaving for a few months but I got you no matter what. Don't be upset with me I just need this. I love you no matter what and I'm always a call away. You got ownership over all my cars, my safe, and my house. I'll call you when I land, be safe and take care ❤️.
"I ain't got shit to say to you bro" She says. "Get out" She adds snatching her phone back.
I send Amari a text and grab my wallet. "Amari is on her way" I say. She shrugs.
"Take yo ass outside" She says. We walk to the door and as soon as I step outside the door slams behind me.
I sit on the porch and decide to call my mama. "Hello?" She answers. "Mia it's 8 in the morning" She adds and I hear her yawn.
"She left" I say as I get up seeing Amari pull up.
I get in the car and wave to her. "Who left where?" She asks.
"Ariel...she left" I say leaning my head against the window. "She texted Mila but she didn't say where she was going" I add.
My mom sighs and shuffles around. "Honey, normally I got all the advice in the world, but this time I really don't know what to tell you" She says.
"I'm gonna call you when I get home or I'll be by later" I say hanging up.
Amari looks at me and wipes my face. "You gone run outta tears sis" She says laughing. I crack a smile and wipe my face all the way. "She'll be back but in the meantime you need to focus on you and just chill" She adds. "Wanna take a trip home?"
"Yeah, I want my grandma" I say sighing. I want Ariel but it's only so much I can do.
A.J
"I'm good A.J" Ariel says answering my FaceTime call. "I had to get away" She says entering an apartment.
"Where you at tho?" I ask. I get up and walk into my kitchen and grab a pop tart out the cabinet.
I sit back on my couch and turn my tv on. "Hawaii" She says. "I'll be here for two to three months then I got some business to handle in New York" She adds.
I watch as she sits on the couch. She shows me the living room and the view. "That shit nice" I say nodding.
"Some slight, might add a few Hawaiian bitches to my body count" She says and I bust out laughing.
"You crazy" I say shaking my head.
Ma starts calling and I answer it. "Ariel I'ma beat yo ass" She says. "Where you at?" She asks.
"Hawaii" Ariel and I say.
"You okay?" She asks. Ariel nods.
"Ma, please don't start crying, I left you some stuff for Leah and the twins at my house, Mila got say over everything but you know you good" Ariel says.
