What I Need || LaMelo Ball

7🛸💕💃🏽

"so when do you leave" i asked melo while we were shooting round on the courts at the estate

"we go in i think... 2 weeks" he said shooting a three. brick. "damnn" he said under his breath

"and when y'all coming back?" i said getting his rebound and doing a lay up.

"well we don't kno, for gelo he only doing 1 season there" he said "what do you mean, you don't know how long you finna be there?"

"yeah... gelo only coming for a season before the draft and my dad said i could be there for 2 years..." he said as i passed him the ball from under the net

"w- what" i said shook "2 years?!" i said as he bounced the ball a few times

he shot the ball from the 3 point line, nothing but net "yeah, but shit ion even wanna be there for 1 season" i grabbed the ball and dribbled it to the 3 point line to where he was

"so if you stay out there and gelo comes back, who gon be out there with you?" i said bouncing the ball four times before pulling up. it bounced a few times on the rim before going in

"we don't know, i haven't asked much ab it bc it's still too early to think ab that" he said looking at me before walking to retrieve the ball

i looked down at my feet "hey at least i ain't finna be in china with no internet" melo said trying to get me to cheer up

it was bad enough they were going to be gone for a whole season but 2 years! two whole fucking years! we will be 18 by the time he gets back! grown adults wtf!

i stayed looking at my feet and i sniffled, that's when melo walked back bringing me into his arms

"stop crying ky, you gon be fine and plus we only a plane flight away" he said with a small chuckle "that supposed to make me feel better dip" i said with a small chuckle as well

"cmon let's just end this here" he said putting his arm round my shoulder and i put my arm round his waist and we walked to where our gear was to grab it a go back inside.

the rest of the day went slow and quite frankly, it was depressing

"ky we will get you to come out and visit with diego, you still gon be able to see them" lavar said to me with his hand on my shoulder

i wiped my nose "yeah but it just won't be the same, none of them are gonna be around anymore" i said truthfully

"yeah but diego still gon be here to keep you on your toes" lavar said "no not really, he barely home now, always doing something with music or zo" i said looking at my acrylics and playing with them

"ky'rah we'll be back before you know it" gelo said

he pulled me into a long ass hug, and then i hugged melo "imma call you when we land ight" melo said as he squeezed me tighter and i just nodded my head

and then all three walked thru the gate to the plane, melo turned around as lavar and gelo walked around the corner out of sight

he looked at me and looked at my with tears falling down my cheek, i was never one to cry or show any type of sad or hurt emotions

he put down his bag and ran back to me, running into me hugging me real tight

"imma miss you so much ky'rah" melo said sniffing "i am to melo" i said burying my head into his chest

we stayed like that for a moment before i pulled back "ok melo you have to go catch up with gelo and your dad" he shook his head.

he nodded and a tear fell from his eye, i wiped it away "love you ky" he said hugging me one last time "love you too melo" i said softly them giving him a kiss on the cheek
