Lance's POV
I'm excited...why? Because today is Friday. This week has flew by fast and to say Kiya and I have got closer as the week went by. She's more playful and outspoken...she being herself. I love that she's opening up to me more, she's always talking about God and that's what I like about her. She's definitely not afraid to tell you how it is, but the night she called me sounding down i couldn't help but worry. Worry about how she looked and talked. But most of all worried about how she worried me. I never really gave my time and full attention to a lot of girls, it was mostly just talking and a little flirting here and there. I never really cared about feelings.... I know hurtful right; but Kiya was different, there was so many things that I wanted to know about her and she is always happy so you would imagine my surprise when I got that call.

48 Hours Ago...
"Hey lil mama." I said in a jokingly manner.

"Hey." She said softly

I scrunched my eyebrows together at the sadness in her tone. Usually she would shoot back at me with something like 'Don't call me that hombrecillo.' That's Spanish for little man. Some of her friends are 'refreshing' her of Spanish as she calls it. When she pronounces a word wrong I always laughs but I also finds it cute when she tells me to stop and start blushing.

"What's wrong Princesa?" I asked in hopes to cheer her up.

I heard a sigh. "Please don't, not tonight with the Spanish I'm really not feeling it." She sadly chuckled.

Silence. I didn't know how to respond. I knew something was definitely wrong now. She's always in a joking mood especially when it involves her practicing Spanish.

I slowly got off of my bed making my way to my window opening my blinds.

"Come to the window". I told her calmly waiting for her to obey.

A few seconds later I see her blinds rise up bringing her full face into view. My eyes widened at the sight. She looked..miserable.

As my eyes met her I noticed a tear threaten to fall. "What's wrong friend?" I asked gently but yet strong.

She chuckled. I raised my eyebrow as if she couldn't see I was being serious.

"Why do you think there is something wrong?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Because you don't sound like yourself." I answered with no hesitation.

Her eyes saddened. "It's just,". I watched as her chest rose up and and back down again.

"It's just what?"

"It's a long story, and it's late." Hearing the sadness in her voice I sighed again looking at the clock. The time read 11:53, seven minutes til midnight.

"I have nowhere to be tomorrow." I said with a small smirk. "I can sleep in as late as I want." I whispered sending a wink her way. Right now I just wanted to make her smile, and make whatever is hurting her go away. But I didn't want her to think she is a joke to me.

"Okay it's going to be long, but you asked for it." She said playfully, but I could still hear the hint of sadness.

I stayed silent waiting for her to speak.  I honestly was afraid of what she may be upset about. Well, I don't know for sure if she is upset but I definitely know she does not sound like herself.

"You know that wedding that I told you about earlier? The one that my family and I attended?" She asked.

"Uh, yea, the one you told me about yesterday right?"

"Yes, that one. It was a beautiful wedding L. Everyone had a great time, the food was great, the decorations and set up was really nice and it just all came out really wonderful." She said adding a little excitement in her voice.

"Then what's the matter?" I asked hearing the confusion in my voice.

"I just feel like I failed.."  she said softly.

"What do you mean Kiya?" I asked looking into her eyes from across the way. "What do you mean?" I ask again.

"The wedding was beautiful, but it was worldly. Worldly music, worldly people...worldly everything. For one, you know that I don't listen to worldly music but I did know some songs that I've heard on the radio. Anyway I just felt like I was being worldly, like instead of  remembering the Lord's words and focusing on him, I got caught up with the wrong crowd and i know their my family and I love them but I was following instead of being a leader. And I know what's right from wrong, as I also know to follow the Lords commands and the whole time I just felt...guilty."

Tears. I see tears falling from her eyes and I felt a sting in my chest. I was aching for her. Because of her. I wanted nothing more then to just go to her house and hold her and be the should she cried on.

And I was going to do just that.

"I'm coming over."

Hi Loves 😁,
Sorry that it has been a while school started and everything just went crazy lol. But most of all I want to say thank you for reading what I have so far but sadly I am going to be taking a break because I feel that my relationship with Jesus has drifted a little and I need this time to connect back with him and get back to the right path and find him again. Sorry for any inconvenience, I hope you guys understand. I love you but God loves you more, God Bless ❣️
