After Tyren practically dragged Donteria out the house... he took her to visit a few places. Some she thought she'd never see again....

" two adults, that will be $45.68" the waitresses said, as she to the money out of Tyren's hand.

Tyren and Donteria, had stopped to get something to eat at a fancy restaurant called lavishly, before he decided to take her to the other places he planned.

As they sat at the table, Donteria smiled in what it seem like a distance to Tyren.

" what do you see?" He asked her.

" this is where Khalid took me when we first met" Donteria smiled, " and that's where we sat at. "

That name stung Tyren harder then a wasp. Even though Tyren knew Khalid was dead, he still got jealous of all the things Khalid done for Donteria, that Tyren wish he would've done.

Truth be told, Tyren has been interested in Donteria for a while now, long before they're whole incident happen.

He never knew how to approach her, other then picking on her, but that didn't even draw her closer... if for anything it made her depressed.

" what can I start you guys off with the drink? " the waitress asked, the two as they sat at the table.

" I'll take uh Dr. Pepper" Tyren spoke.

" and for you ma'am? "

" ice water please "

" alrighty, I'll be back shortly with your drinks " the waitress smiled and walked away.

" so what do you plan on getting?" Tyren asked Donteria, as he scanned through the menu.

" I don't know to be honest, I haven't ate in four days " Donteria shrugged, as she continued to scan over her menu.

She felt Tyren's eyes burning holes on her. As his mouth dropped surprisingly, being that Donteria have been lying to him this whole time.

" you said what? " Tyren sputtered, " what have you been doing? "

" I'm kidding" Donteria laughed, " if for anything I've been stress eating, if I got to much on my mind I'm eating everything " Donteria confessed.

Her eating habits were getting outraged, food calmed her emotions, eased her mind, and "stopped" her depression. But it was all in her mind, food was actually causing all of this, because she is using it a a coping mechanism to supply her needs.

" why you don't tell the therapist that, maybe she can help you find the right coping mechanism?" Tyren suggested.

Donteria sighed and played with her fingers before saying, " I don't talk to my therapist, I just don't feel like it's going to do anything " she answered truthfully.

" so why don't you talk to me? " Tyren insisted.

Donteria swallowed a huge lump which a formed in the back Im of her throat, from nervousness. She didn't know what to say, could she really trust Tyren enough to talk about her problems to him?

" I'm back with our drinks, are you ready to get started are do y'all need a couple minutes?" The waitress interrupted, as she placed the drinks down in front of them.

" I'm ready" Tyren nodded towards Donteria to indicate was she ready or not.

Donteria smiled softly while nodding her head, as Tyren scanned through the menu once again to look for the name of the player he was ordering.

" can I get a steak and shrimp platter, can I get my steak medium rare and for the sides I'd like mash potatoes and asparagus" Tyren ordered, as the waitress wrote it down.

" alright and for you ma'am?"

" can I get the chicken breast with Fries, also for the side can I get Brussel sprouts and ranch? " the waitress smiled, and collected the menus before leaving the table.

Soon after about forty five minutes the food came out and the two ate. They chatted for a while about there highschool days and how they missed it, for the remainder of the time Tyren spent it watching basketball highlights on instagram, while Donteria scrolled through her videos listening to herself sing.

For once she did think about taking what the therapist said into consideration. Singing has been a talent she had every since birth really. Although she never preformed other then on a church choir, Donteria actually would love to give it a try.


After the dinner, Tyren had decided to take Donteria on a ride to a side of town she never wanted to see again before.

Traumatized her for life..

As the began to pull up by the now abandoned trap house, full of broken glass and bullet holes, Donteria starts to panic a little bit.

" what are you doing?" She panics, as she feels the car comes to a stop in front of the building.

Tyren unbuckled his seat belt and opened his car door. He then gets out the car and walks over to the psssenger side and grabs Donteria hand.

" it's okay Donteria, I'm here with you don't be scared. " it was Tyren, but it sounded like Khalid's voice.

Donteria nervously stepped out the car, and allowed Tyren to guide her around. Tyren walked to the center of the street where a sewage hole was located, and a red X was marked.

" this is all where it happened" Tyren said, which made Donteria squint her eyes.

" why do yo sound like that? " Donteria asked, as Tyren scrunched his face.

" sound like what?" His voice suddenly turned back to normal, but Donteria was confused.

" why are we here?" She asked, as he pointed to the ground.

" this is where it all happened, this is where Khalid died" Tyren said, but before he could even finish anything else Donteria broke into tears.

" that's why I brought you hear, express your inner emotions" he calmed her, as she continued to sob and cry.

" Let it all out, babygirl... everything that was held within you let it all out " Tyren spoke, as he held her closer.

Donteria cried for about five minutes straight, before pulling away from Tyren. She thanked him, and hugged him before laying her head on his chest.

Donteria nose twitched a little when she smelled width of The expensive Cologne Khalid use to wear, as it passes through the air.

" That's just him costing you, telling you everything's going to be okay, let it out because he loves you " Tyren explained.

" how do you know about communication so well? " Donteria asked Tyren.

" I did this when my grandmother died. And it works every time, especially when it's getting closer to her death date, every year I can smell cigarettes smoke outside on the front porch " he laughed. " that's crazy" Donteria responded, she was so surprised on what a Tyren do.

Although most and including her look at Tyren as a bully. He do actually have a sweet spot❣️
