Sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest, Cassia only cried while sitting in one of the guest bedrooms alone. For 4 hours she'd been locked in there, wanting nothing more than time to herself which she finally managed to get. It was like everything came flooding her mind at once, repeated heartache over and over to the point where it looked like there was no light at the end of their tunnel. Of course all couples went through things, but she felt as though it was nothing but hurdles that were constantly thrown at them. Not even them as a unit, but more so herself.
Hearing a knock at the door, she only raised her red face to stare at it. Thinking it was just Cepheus again, she kept silent until the lock began to be fiddled with. Letting out an annoyed sigh, she still remained silent until the person on the other side revealed themselves. Cassia more than thankful that it was just Mariah rather than him.
"My baby...I bought you some stuff." Mariah gave Cassia a small smile, while shutting the door behind herself. Wiping at her face, Cassia smiled also, watching as Mariah emptied the bag of candy and cute little gifts out onto the bed. "Ignore the fact some of this shit is Valentine's Day stuff, CVS starting early as fuck this year and I was not bout to go all the way to Walmart for a couple lil gifts now." She raised a hand while taking a seat on the bed close to Cassia.
"It's fine, you didn't have to get me anything in the first place. I'm fine." She smiled weakly, but Mariah clearly wasn't going for it once she tilted her head with her lips pursed.
"Fuck Mariah's wack ass gifts, mine is better." Jamila smiled once opening the door to walk in herself, waving around keys that had the logo of a Bentley on them. Widening her eyes, Cassia stopped from what she was doing to look at her friend as though she had 5 heads.
"You got me a-."
"No, your man did though- ex? Baby daddy? Fuck buddy? Girl, whatever that man is to you right now, it don't matter cause either way he on my shit list-."
"50% shit list because in his defense, he didn't even know. I mean not defending him because he's an idiot and if it was me I would have shoved the engagement ring down his throat and told him to die. But please don't kill him, my baby needs a daddy." Mariah clenched her teeth together, both her and Jamila making themselves comfortable on the bed. Reaching onto the dresser, Jamila grabbed another box of tissue since it was clear Cassia would need it.
"I can't kill him, I share 5 children with him...wish I could though." She mumbled the last part, causing both Jamila and Mariah to whip their heads in each other's direction.
"He most definitely fucked up, cause wow okay. But overall how are you feeling?" Jamila asked, adjusting her body to face Cassia a little better. Bitterly chuckling, Cassia only shook her head while staring down at her naked ring finger. "Didn't even notice the ring was off, you must be done forreal..."
