Ryan Janae

No More Ryan & Reese

Ryan POV

  I turned over in bed, as I coughed up some mucus. I had gotten in late, not that it mattered, my mom wasn't here anyway. I woke up sick, just like I thought I would.

Grabbing my phone, I sighed as I had 5 text from Senia, 3 from Nique, and 2 from China and Diana..and one from Reese. I sat up as I read the message.

Maybe Maurice: we need to talk." it read.

I knew it was him because I had deleted his number, but I remembered the first few digits.

Rolling my eyes, I blocked his number this time before throwing my phone down and getting in the shower.

Rinsing my hair I hopped out and dried it quickly with my towel. Grabbing my blow drier, I quickly fanned it out and let my curls drop this time.

Going down the steps, I fixed myself a bowl of cereal, and carefully carried it back upstairs. Last night was so heavy. I had fought with my friends, and I had never wanted to.

  They didn't see the little things Lori had done to me, and it wasn't like I could tell them. Exposing her would be exposing myself. I didn't want that. My phone buzzed and I turned it over as my mom texted me.

Mommabear💘: I won't be home until late tonight, I will send you money to order some pizza. I love you and can't wait to hear about your night last night and check the mail girl, i think my shoes came in."

I smiled at her, she was so cute. I texted her back I loved her, before placing my bowl down.

Racing down the steps. I opened the front door, and grabbed my moms slippers before walking up to the mailbox. I opened it up and took the mail out, and looked down on the ground. No shoes for her yet.

I laughed to myself as I read the first envelope.

Maurice: yo." he called making me jump. I looked as he emerged from the path in between our houses. Rolling my eyes I slammed the mailbox shut and stomped down my driveway.

Maurice: Ryan." he called.

Me: Go away Maurice.' I snapped reaching my door.

Maurice: trust me, I do not want to be over here." he scoffed making me stop,

Me: well, it looks like you do? You gonna come beg for us to be cool then go back and tell Lori huh?" I taunted.

Maurice: hell nah, trying to be cool wit you is out the window. That ain't why I pulled up." he snapped back. I bit my lip, and folded my arms as he stood there.

Me: yes Maurice." I said kindly.

Maurice:..the stuff you said about Lori, it wasn't true." he defended. I sighed and shook my head as he stood there.

Me: I figured she would talk you out of it." I said disappointed.

Maurice: foreal Ryan, you don't know what really happened." he began.

Maurice: she played along so that she wouldn't be hurt. So that they wouldn't hurt her. She had no choice."

Me: oh she had a choice. And maybe your right." I said coming up to him.

Me: but she sat in my face and made up a whole story, she cried and everything all while knowing how Mccoy was and she didn't say anything."

Maurice: she wont yo friend." he snapped. I shook my head and looked him in the eyes.

Me: No matter what, I would never let another woman be in a situation like that. I would do anything to prevent it." I sighed.

Looking him in the eyes, I could see how stressed he was. Taking his hand, he looked away as I held his hand between mine.
