Justice
My heart broke. it cracked into two pieces.
I got into my car and cried, and Carmelo didn't even look back or say i'm just kidding you know I love you. I don't even know why he tripping over that. Does he really care if I know the truth or not?
Carmelo
I went into the house, and Justin wasn't here, that's good. Cause I don't have time for his bullshit at all today. I checked around the apartment to see if mama was here, and she wasn't.
I checked the time seeing it was 6:47pm. Mama should be home, unless she went grocery shopping. I called her to make sure she was okay.
" Hey you've reached Coretta Major's voicemail, sorry I can't answer your call right now. I must be busy, but i'll call back soon. " Mama's soft voice said. Ugh great!
I never leave messages on voicemail, so I just went to take a shower, and did my homework. Then I cleaned the apartment, since there were dishes in the sink, that needed to be washed, then stuff all over the dining room table, and the pillows messed up in the living room, and my room was a little dirty. Then I did the laundry. I feel like a butler.
A little while later, my phone started ringing and I answered seeing mama's face and name pop up.
" Hey mama. " I said. " Hey. " She said. " Where you at? " I asked. " At the store, we were running low. Sorry for not telling you. " She said. " Its cool. As long as you good. " I stated. " Yea, i'm on my way home right now. " She said. " Okay, see ya. love you. " I said. " Bye love you too. " She replied and we hung up.
I then laid down on my bed, until I fell asleep, with an ache deep down in my heart, that was building up with every passing second.
I woke up feeling someone rubbing my back, and I saw it was mama. " Hey. " She said quietly. " Wassup. " I said in a slur. Not like I was drunk, because I was sleepy, and didn't feel like talking.
" Latoya's been blowing up your phone. "
" Fuck her. " I said.
" Why do you say that? " Mama frowned her eyebrows.
" It's going to sound stupid. " I said and told everything that happened.
" That is stupid. " Mama said with a blank expression, but it read ' Really? '
" But I know it hurts to know she doesn't trust you. Maybe she's been faking liking you. " She said. " I hope not. Cause that'd be a big mistake. " I said with a grin. " You're not laying a dangerous finger on that girl. I don't care if she played you or not, you're not touching her. " Mama demanded. I just huffed. " Call her back and make sure. Girls hate when you jump to conclusions or assume something that's not true. " Mama said. " Like me. " I rolled my eyes, and grabbed my phone.
I didn't called Justice back, I didn't want to hear her at all. She's cut

Carmelo is ignoring me and its so frustrating. Its been a week and he still isn't talking to me! I told Meme, Keyshia and them what went down two days after it happened, and they said they're going to try and help, but I don't think it's working. Keyshia did say it's going to be hard to change his mind, when it's made up.
I'm like every other person in the hall that Carmelo ignores. Everytime I see him my heart breaks a little more. Even though it's broken enough. Now its like this dark pit in my heart. And thousands of weights lying on my shoulders and my small, yet big heart.
Carmelo changed his seat in every class I have with him. He sits far away from me in class, and Hallie is always hitting on him in the hall. Whenever I see her, I just raise my head up a little higher, because she's being a hoe she's not making me jealous at all. I'm just hurt because Carmelo doesn't talk with me anymore.
At lunch I sit by myself on my phone blasting music in my ears. I listen to Nicki Jonas a lo know along with Jhene Aiko. I always listen to Jhene Aiko so that's not surprising or different.
Speaking on lunch, i'm sitting in the back far corner by myself again. Meme and them visit me, but then go back to Carmelo. They said he's depressed too,and he misses me everytime they come see me, but I don't believe it. They say they're trying their best, to open him up, but he ignores them, puts in his headphones, or just snaps. It hurts to know Carmelo is moving on with life, while i'm staying in one position. But i'm not that girl, who kills herself over a boy, because it isn't that serious. But my attitude will change a lot now.
Meme, Keyshia, Walter, and Terence walk over to my table and sit either in front of me or beside me.
" Y'all don't have to visit me everyday. Shouldn't y'all hate me too, that's what friends do when one friend hates each other y'all all hate the same person, even if you used to hang with them. " I said. " Well we're not those kind of friends. " Walter said. " Yea, those are called phony friends. " Keyshia said in a cheery voice. I sighed.
" He's going to come around we promise. " Meme squeezed my hand. " I hope. " I said putting my head down. " He misses you just as much as you miss him shawty. " Terence said. " No he doesn't. he flirts with Hallie in my face, he doesn't talk to me, he doesn't call or text me. He'll look at me like i'm a one of those girls who admire him in the hall. Or like i'm gum on the bottom of his shoe. " I complained. " You hurt him, badly that's all. " Meme shrugged.
I squeezed my eyes shut, and thought of all the good times we had, then all the girls that go up to him in the hall trying to holla now that him and I don't talk anymore. Or Hallie feeling all up on him, the way he looks at me, how he sits across the room from me in every class we have, how he ignores me like I don't exist.
" Come on Justice, try to call him. He's going to pick up. " Keyshia said. " No he won't. " I said dully. " If you call him at least three times, he'll give in. " Keyshia nodded. " Or you can play the same game he's playing. " Meme smirked. " Meme we're still his friends. " Terence said. " So?! I'm getting tired of his stuck up ass. " Meme retorted.
After lunch, I was with Meme's plan. I was going to play the same game as Carmelo. Two can play that game.

The next day, after physics I walked to Alex, my ex boyfriend. He was talking to Jordan one of his friends. " Hey Alex. " I smiled. I was wearing one of my most expensive outfits, with makeup and everything. I was the old me, again. Ugh!
" Wassup. " He smiled looking me up and down. " I see you came around baby. " He said bending down to my ear. " I was waiting for you too. " He whispered into my ear. I was disgusted in the inside, but I smiled on the outside. He faced me, and I pressed my lips to his, I slid my tongue into his mouth, as he put his hands in my back pockets like he did a lot when we were dating. I could tell Alex still had feelings for me too.
" I missed you Jay. " He said against my lips. " I missed you more. " I said.
I don't like Alex remember that, i'm just playing Carmelo's game too. I pulled away. " Call me. " I said and walked away.
I was sitting in World History and Carmelo came with some shades, and a jacket that covers his face. My heart started aching for him.
He walked to his seat away from me, and I looked forward. I saw him still a glance at me in the corner of my eye, but I couldn't see his expression, but there was heartbreak between us. A lot of heart break.
