I wish Lillian didn't tell on me like that, God I'm embarrassed. Malik never said if he didn't like me back or anything, but then again he didn't say if he liked me back. I shouldn't have gotten up and ran out like that.
"What's going on bro? It isn't like you to randomly show up at my apartment unannounced and shit." Evon sat beside me on my bed.
At Evon's apartment he has a room for me to crash in whenever something goes down at my mom's house, or just if I wanna stay with him.
"Can I..stay here tonight?"
"Yea, of course you're my little brother. My hyna aint here right so we can hang out. You hungry? I can order something from doordash?" Evon messed with my hair a bit.
"I'm not hungry I just wanna sleep." I laid down on top of the grey blank that was on my bed.
"At least tell me what happened?" Evon sat back down at the end of my feet.
"Something stupid." I groaned into the pillow.
"If you don't wanna tell me right now that's fine, but at least tell me in the morning okay?"
"Alright." I buried my head in the pillow about to fall asleep when someone knocked on the front door.
"I'll get it." Evon got up and answered the door.
"Malik! Wassup witchu my dawg?" Evon said in a somewhat, gangster voice. Malik and evon have been friends since I brought him here for the first time. Do I regret that decision from 2 years ago? Yes, very much a yes.
"Ah nothing much my man just looking for Mateo, he here?" Malik asked.
"Yea, he's in his room being depressed and shi but you can go on in maybe that'd cheer him up?" Evon let Malik in.
"I'll see what I can do." He gave Evon a reassuring look. "Hey Mateo. What you uh doing?" He sat at the end of my bed.
"I'm sleeping."
Malik to deep breath. "Don't feel embarrassed if it makes you feel any better..I don't care if you like me." He let out his deep breath.
"Hold on, what?" I took my head out from the pillow.
"I don't care as long as Lillian doesn't like me?" Malik nudged my shoulder a bit.
YOU DONT CARE? MALIK NOT GONNA SAY IF YOU LIKE ME BACK OR NOT JUST, YOU DONT CARE. UGHHH IF I WOULDNT CATCH A CHARGE I WOULD STAB YOU....such a tease..
"You alright?." Malik asked.
"Oh, yea." I sighed being disappointed.
"See? Are you gonna come back or no."
"I don't know." I looked away.
"Why not?"
"I told Evon I would hang out with him." I said deadpan, I knew I lied, though I didn't feel bad because Malik was being an asshole.
"Are you sure you don't wanna come back to the sleepover?Because Debbie and Cameron are in the car?"
"Why don't we move it to over here?" Evon added walking in.
"Dumbass.." I whispered under my breath.
I was angry with my brother because, if I didn't have any self control I'd probably beg Malik to dick me down through the night. But I have some self control, self control I subconsciously knew but didn't know existed. My subconscious is like the trash can at my Abuela's house, never gets emptied.
I wanna empty it so bad, but this stupid boy creates a barrier between me and a liquor store, I store that created an addiction. One that caused me hell freshman year...a path I can't go down again.
