Justice -
I walked out of Carmelo's room, and ran but tip toed to my room, choking out my tears that wanted to come out badly.
I plopped on my bed, and cried into my pillow. I had to lift my head up a few times for air. About thirty minutes later, I had no more tears for right now. I had a headache, and I bet I looked and mess, and I will in the morning too.
I flipped over on my back and looked at the dark ceiling, and took out my phone from underneath my pillow. I went through all my pictures with Carmelo, and just started crying again. Memories hurt.
Carmelo -
I could hear Justice crying in her room, but, it was faint and distant. I feel really bad for what I said, but it all seems so true. I bet her parents going to beat me up for breaking her heart, then celebrate because we're not a couple. Well we still are, I think.
Then I started crying to, but silently.

I woke up, to my alarm clock going off. I got up and went into the shower, then changed into some joggers, my black, red, and white jordans, with a red, white, and black bandana, with a chicago bulls button up jersey, and my gold watch. I brushed my hair, and used my moisturizer, and brushed my teeth and washed my face.
I looked sad and tired. My eyes were red, from crying last night. I had veins popping out the side of my head, and my arms. Then my regular facial expression showed that I was sad.
I splashed water on my face, to try to get rid of it, but it wasn't happening.
I gave up and went downstairs, then right when I was coming downstairs Justice was behind me.
Should I say I change my mind about the whole thing? I mean what if she just gives up? What if she cuts me off? Man I can't handle this.
She looked depressed, and looked like she was crying for hours! But still gorgeous as always.
She wore no makeup, only some blue and white nine west slides, some black leggings, a red and black plaid shirt, and her straight hair down and not done. Her bookbag was hanging off her shoulder. The worst part is that she didn't even acknowledge me like I was invisible.
Ouch.
" Justice. " I said. I sounded like a little boy, trying to ask his mama for candy but scared.
I didn't know love would have you like this.
" Justice. " I said a little louder.
" Hmm? " She said not looking at me.
" I'm sorry about last night. I know I hurt you, and it hurt me too. But it's just that you parents don't like me. " I said. She turned around basically cutting me off and looked at me. " Carmelo does my parents liking you really matter that much? " She leaned on the countertop. " I guess so, since i'm trippin', " I stated. She took a deep breath. " All you need is my approval, not there's. I don't give two fucks about what they think about you. And they'll come around you just have to be patient. " She snapped, but her voice was raspy.
" Aight, but I didn't mean to make you cry so much to the point when you look like a lost puppy, and baby being born . " I stated. She crossed her arms across her chest, and I walked up to her. I bent down and kissed her, but she ain't kiss back.
" Come on Justice. " I said. I kissed her multiple times, trying to make her kiss back. " Come on Justice. " I whined. She looked at me with no expression. " I'm sorry. I love you. " I said And right after that, she grabbed my face, and stopped me in front of her. My eyes were closed and my lips were puckered. " Don't hurt me like that again. " She said. " Don't all relationships deal with pain? " I asked. " Yes. " She said and kissed me with my face in her hands, and my arms wrapped around her, as if I were hugging her. A couple minutes later she pulled away. " Love you too."
Then someone cleared their throat. I turned around seeing her pops. Lord! Jesus! Christ! You Hate Me For Real!
Justice -
" I can't believe we're having PDA in my house. " Daddy said. I pressed my lips together. " You and mom kiss all the time. " I said for him to hear.
" Plus you fucked twice before. " I muttered.
" There's a difference Justice Latoya Victoria Pride. " Dad said my whole name, and he knows I hate it when he does that.
I rolled my eyes, and crossed my arms over my chest. Carmelo's face was hilarious, looked like a little boy getting in trouble, as he looked at the floor, and every five seconds he'd look up. It was cute though cause he looked guilty and innocent.
" There will be no PDA in my house, do you understand? " Daddy asked. " Yes sir. " I nodded. Carmelo was quiet, but he just looked at him. I got this feeling that Carmelo was challenging him. " Are we clear Mr. Major? " Daddy asked. " We're clear. " Carmelo huffed.
" And if this happens again, Justice you're grounded, and Mr. Major you will leave my house. " Daddy said. " I'd rather go stay with my mama, with your bullshittin' rules. " Carmelo said and walked passed him and I heard the front door close.
" I don't want you around him. " He said. " Well its your fault for popping' off like that. If you want respect you have to give it, it's what Carmelo is all about. Plus, he has enough going on at home and all you're doing is making it worse. And everyone doesn't get what they want. I love you daddy, i'm still your little girl, but i'm growing up. And stop holding grudges against him, because I love him just as much as he loves me. " I said.
Dad was silent. I know he would've popped the hell out of me, and yelled at me, but everything I said is true.
" I'm just looking out for you sweetie that's all. " He said. " I understand that and that's a reason I love you, but Carmelo won't hurt me physically, and if he does i'll tell you. And you can't not claim me we're blood and I look just like you. " I smiled and hugged him. " Please give him a chance daddy he's only acting that way because all the pressure. " I said.
I felt a pop in the head. " That's for the disrespect but yea i'll give him a chance. " He said. I smiled, even though i was getting a headache from daddy's pop. " Bye daddy. " I said as he kissed my forehead. I walked out the house seeing Carmelo sitting on the front door steps. " You ready? " I asked.
He turned and looked at me. " Yea. " He took a deep breath. " He's giving you a chance for real this time. " I said as he got onto his motorcycle. " I don't think so. " He said putting on his helmet. You riding with me or no? " He asked. " Yea. " I smiled, as he headed me a helmet, and a leather jacket.
I got onto his motorcycle as he started the engine, and stood straight up to balance it as I got on. I wrapped my arms around him tight, and put my face in his back as he drove off, and the cold air hit me like never before. My face was freezing, we should've just got in my car, with the heat! I never think straight around him.
