Brandy — 𝟷𝟷:𝟶𝟾 𝙿.𝙼.

I laid in the bed for hours waiting on Aaliyah to come home. She'd always stay out late and when she would get home, we would just argue. I was so in love with her .. but why couldn't she just show her love for me back. There were times she would have me looking stupid but I wouldn't leave her .. we both made bad mistakes and we both hurt each other.

"I just miss her." I cried to Anasia. Anasia was my best friend. She listened to my rants, no matter what they were. "I'm about to just pack and go back to my apartment in downtown new york." I knew I was lying, I couldn't leave Aaliyah ass alone, even if my life was on the line.

She sighed. "Brandy, shut the hell up. You know you ain't leaving that damn girl. All she gotta do is fuck you and boom, you back in her arms cuddling." As much as I wanted to blow her down, I just cried.

"I- I - I just want her home. I wanna cuddle with her until I fall asleep. Every time she's around snoop, she comes home late. Every time." I ranted for a full hour and while in the middle of pouring my heart out, Aaliyah walked in. "Anasia .. I'll call you back."

She sat on the bed and glanced at me. "Good to know that i'm a low-down, dirty bitch." She threw a bouquet of roses on the bed. "That's how you talk about me when I'm gone Brandy? Deadass?"

"Aaliyah it's not like that. I just want you home. You be in these streets hoeing down and I don't say shit. Do you understand how much you mean to me?" It took everything in me to not sock her in the mouth. "What bitch you been with? Huh? Tell me!"

"Why would I fuckin' cheat on you Brandy! Get the fuck with that bullshit mane." She yelled. "If I had another bitch, you woulda been met her!" She stood up and I flinched. Not because she'd ever hit me, jk, but because seeing her yell was real rare unless she was pissed. "What's wrong with you today? You've been arguing with me since the day started."

"I can't stand yo low-down, son of a ho ass. That's the fuckin issue you stupid bitch." I crashed.. but it wasn't long before I got hit in face. "Aaliyah I-I.."

She stood over me and yelled in my face. "You done lost yo damn mind! You ain't speaking to me! You understand me? I'm not one of these lil bitches inna street. Who the fuck you talking to? Huh Brandy? Who you talking to? Huh? Who you talking to?" I held my face while coughing up blood, I didn't have time to respond before she dragged me down the hall. "Now pack yo shit and get out."

I felt myself getting dizzy .. so dizzy to the point where I laid out on the carpet and stayed there. She was probably out drinking again. I could remember my vision going black and waking up in the hospital with Anasia sitting on the guest couch.

Anasia

"Brandy .. oh my goodness Brandy." I said in shock as she awoke. "Who did it Brandy?"

"I fell.." I knew she was lying. According to her, she ends up in the hospital from falling about six times every month.

"Tell me the truth."
"I'm serious. I just fell." she replied.

"This much shit happened from one fall? A busted lip, a swollen cheek, and a black eye? Somebody did this and it gotta be that bitch you with. Who did it?"

"I ran into a tree while driving the four wheeler."

"Stop lying to me."

"Anasia, I- I don't wanna t- t- talk. My face is killing me. Please .. just please .."
