Misunderstood.

Frustration

[Amina's POV]

I jumped hard as hell and bout chocked on my gummies. I got up walking to the window and seen Cortez. I froze up not knowing what to do. "Baby please let me in i want to apologize" he said. I let him in cause i knew if i didn't he'd let himself in. I closed the window behind him and stood by my tv. He sat on the bed looking at me. "I jus want to say i'm sorry for how i treated you and i want you back" he said rubbing his head. It took everything in me to not choke his ass out. "I appreciate your apology but working on myself" i said twirling my fingers. He looked at me confused and got up walking towards me. "Why you lying you only do that when you lying" he said raising his voice. "I'm not lying i swear" i said backing up against the wall. "So you not fucking Keon" he yelled. I stayed quiet because i didn't know what to say. I knew i wasn't but he'd probably think i'm lying. "I knew it you dirty bitch. That's why i killed his mom so the attention would be off you and we could be together" he said. I started to cry and he slapped me. I fell onto the floor and he started kicking me. "You tell him about this and i'll be your worst nightmare" he said walking back to the window. He left and i just stayed on the floor. My body was in so much pain my heart felt like it exploded. I jus cried sitting against my wall.

*12:00am*

My phone been ringing for hours but i haven't even looked at it to see who it was. I heard a knock at my door and continued to cry thinking he was back. The door opened and i couldn't even look up i was so scared. "Why you not answering your phone and why you crying" the voice said. I looked up and it was Keon. He sat beside me on the floor and i wiped my face. I told him everything that happened because i wasn't going to lie to him. I knew he was pissed after i told him. "Get up your staying with me until i handle this" he said getting up sitting on my bed. I could see his gun on his waist so i stayed quiet to not make matters worse. As i got off the floor he grabbed my hand pulling me onto his lap. "I'll never let anything happen to you again i promise" he said as he wiped my face. I didn't have any emotion back but i was definitely grateful. I got up and packed my bags. We walked out the house and got in his car. He kept asking me if i was hungry but kept shaking my head no. I know he just wanted me to speak but i didn't have it in me. We got to his house and people were still there so i rushed up to his room. He stayed behind to talk to his friends. I got in the bed and curled up since my chest was hurting. Eventually he came up to his room. He sat beside me and kept telling me he would handle it and everything would be okay. It wasn't like he was my protector or anything i just really trusted him. I also didn't plan on telling Kayla because i knew she would be worried.

*Thursday Morning*

I've been in the bed for 2 days now. I'm working on recovering from a broken rib. Keon's been really sweet and looking out for me. He told me the reason i couldn't come in the house the other day was because they were talking about Cortez. I don't know everything but the little i did know was okay. I wanted to go back to school but Keon claimed i wasn't ready.  Normally it takes 1 to 2 months to heal but i'm just ready to go back to school. I still can't really control my breathing as much so i could see why he didn't want me to go yet. Keon got up from the bed and walked out the room. Surprisingly he left his phone and it was unlocked. I'm not the type to go through phones but i seen on his notifications Diamond kept texting him! I mean like his phone was vibrating more than ever. So i grabbed his phone and sat up looking at their messages. She was saying how she missed him and she depressed without him. How she stressing with a baby and all this other shit. But what really blew me was she said "when you coming back over we miss you". I was confused as hell. Whole time i'm thinking he here while i'm sleep and he really laid under this mf! I put his phone down and sat up as good as i possibly could.

Then here he came walking back into the room. "You hungry?" he asked. I looked at him disgusted as hell and shook my head no. He walked over to the bed all cheesy talking about "Whats wrong boo" like nah nigga don't boo me now. I replied "Nothing i want to go home". He looked at me in confusion and seen his phone was unlocked on their messages. I freaking forgot to lock the damn phone but i didn't care. He looked at me like he was pissed! "You went through my phone shawt" he asked.  I looked at him like really that's all you got to say right now. This boy kills me for real. "So you been with her while i'm sleep in pain. Whole time i'm  thinking the only person who cares is YOU well i thought!" I said trying my best not to cry from all that yelling.
