A Stripper's Daughter

Chapter 20

I Hadn't Spoken To Jalen In Three Days, And I Was Going Crazy. I Could Barely Even Concentrate On My Exam I Was So Depressed. After My Exams Were Over, I Went And Joined Kota And Jasmine In The Cafeteria.

"Hey Yall." I Said As I Sat Down.

"So When Did You And Jalen Break Up?" Jasmine Asked.

"We Didn't. We're On A Break." I Said, Stuffing Some French Fries In My Mouth.

"Break My Ass! Look!" Kota Said As She Pointed Over To Where Jalen Was. I Looked Over And Saw Angel Sitting On Jalen's Lap. My Blood Boiled As I Got Up And Walked Over To Jalen's Table.

"Layla Don't Cause A Scene!" Jasmine Said. I Ignored Her And Continued To Make My Way Towards Jalen.

"You Bout To Strip For Us, Layla?" Said One Of Jalen's Friends.

"Aye Man Leave Her Alone." Dre Said Coming To My Defense. Wow. I Can't Believe He Actually Stuck Up For Me.

"Thanks." I Murmured.

"Don't Mention It. Ever." He Said Laughing. I Smirked As I Made My Way Over To Jalen. He Wasn't Paying Me Any Mind As I Sat Next To Him.

"We Need To Talk." I Said.

"Can You See He's Busy? Bitch Get!" Angel Snapped.

"Bitch I've Had About Enough Of You!" I Snapped. I Got Up And Yanked Angel Off Jalen's Lap. I Shoved Her On To The Cafeteria Table And Punched Her Repeatedly. She Then Grabbed My Hair And Kicked Me In My Stomach, Causing Me To Slam My Side Into The Table. I Hopped Up And Scratched Her Across The Face, And Slammed Her On The Ground. I Was About To Pound Her Face In, Until I Was Grabbed From Behind.

"You've Made Your Point." Jalen Said In My Ear. I Still Fought My Ass Off Until I Got Outside.

"Put Me Down!" I Snapped.

"Chill Out." Jalen Said.

"So We're Over Now? Is That What You Want?" I Asked.

"What? Aye You Left Me Remember That?!" He Said.

"I Left You Because Of That Bitch!" I Snapped.

"So What Do You Want Layla? Obviously You Don't Want Me." He Said.

"I Do Want You! Jalen I Love You!" I Said. I Grabbed My Mouth And Froze. Did I Just Say.....I Loved Him? Oh My God.

"Damn Shawty...You Love Me?" He Asked. I Slowly Nodded. He Sat There For A Minute And Stared At Me. I Blushed As I Looked At My Feet. He Took His Index Finger And Lifted My Chin Up.

"I Love You Too." He Said. I Smiled As I Kissed His Soft Lips.

"I've Never Told A Guy I Loved Them. Besides My Dad Anyways." I Said.

"And I've Never Told A Female I Loved Them Besides My Moms And Grandma." He Said. That Made Me Feel Ten Times Better! I Wrapped My Arms Around His Neck And Kissed Him Hard. Yes Indeed I Missed My Man!

I'm Sure You Can Guess That I Was Called To The Principal's Office After Jalen And I Made Up. I Was Suspended For A Week Because I Started The Fight. Great. I Spent The Rest Of The Day In Detention, And Let Me Just Say...The Tension Between Me And Angel Was Through The Roof! Once That Final Bell Rang, I Hurried Out Of Detention.

"Yeah You Better Scurry Off Bitch!" I Heard Her Say. A Crowd Of People Circled Around Us Waiting For What Was About To Be Round 2.

"Didn't I Beat Your Ass Already? Keep Talking And I'll Add On To The Busted Lip And Bruised Face!" I Snapped.

"Somebody Got Balls Since Their Hoe Ass Mama Died!" She Said. Here We Go. I Bawled Up My Fist, But As I Started Walking Up On Her, Jalen Grabbed Me.

"Let It Go Layla!" He Said. He Pulled Me Away From The Crowd And As Soon As We Stepped Outside, I Burst Out Crying. Jalen Wrapped His Arms Around Me And Held Me. I Pulled Myself Out Of His Grip And Started Throwing Up.

"Damn Bae!" He Said As He Held My Hair. This Stress Was Killing Me.
