Star Shopping // Lil Peej

trip

"In two weeks? I'd just need to talk to my girl about it." Peej says as I smile, yet still confused about who he's calling. "Okay, I'll let her know, I'll go if she wants to but if not I need to stay here to help Baylen."

The call ends, and he looks back at me who was sitting on the couch in the Florida house.

"What was that?" I ask.

"My aunt, they want me to go to New York for a little family reunion." He sighs as he sits next to me and puts an arm around me. "We don't have to talk about this right now, but I told them i'm only going if you went with."

"That'd be fun." I say. "How long would we be gone?"

"I told her that we wouldn't be there for too long cause I know long trips stress you out." He says.

"Pj it's a trip for you and your family, don't plan it on what I do and don't like." I laugh.

"You are family." He smiles. "Just not legally yet."

"Yet?" I smile.

"Yep." He grins.

"Okay lovebirds, we're gonna go get some wings, you coming?" Baylen asks as him and Kyle walk in.

"Sure." Peej smiles.

After we had gotten wings, me, Baylen, Kyle, and Peej had all walked around town.

I had noticed one thing though, over time, Peej was getting more and more annoyed, and it seemed like he was annoyed with me.

Peej had never been annoyed with me. It was something I wasn't used to, and hated.

The ride home, instead of Peej sitting directly next to me, he kept the middle seat open and sat by the other door, which might not seem like a big deal, it was something he had never done.

Once we got home, Peej immediately went upstairs and slammed the door.

"What's his deal?" Baylen scoffs. I look over at Baylen with tears in my eyes, and he sighs with a sad tone. "Evy what's wrong?"

"He just seems so annoyed with me and I don't know why cause he's never been annoyed with me, and he's just being so distant." I rant.

"Have you talked to him?" He asks.

"No cause I don't wanna make him more angry." I sniffle.

"Try talking to him, and if he gets mad i'll talk to him okay?" Baylen says.

"Okay." I sigh.

I anxiously go upstairs, and go into Peej and I's room.

"Peej?" I ask softly. He was sitting on the edge of the bed on his phone.

"Hm?" He asks as he looks at me, seeming less annoyed.

I go sit next to him on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asks.

"...I thought you were mad at me." I say quietly, so quiet it was almost a whisper.

"Oh Evelyn I wasn't mad at you." He says softly as he puts an arm around me.

"You weren't?" I sniffle.

"Of course not baby, I'm sorry I was just annoyed with one of my family members cause she said some stuff, and I was avoiding you cause I didn't wanna get mad at you." He says.

"I just want you to talk to me when you feel like that Peej, because I want you to be able to tell me when you feel upset or annoyed and not need to avoid me." I say.

"Okay, i'm sorry baby." He says. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." I smile
