NOVACANE

Are We Still Friends?

The Next Week-

Zaeda-

"Zae i'm sorry, it was a accident I wouldn't do anything to purposely hurt you." Aniyah cried

I continued grabbing my things as she rented about how drunk she was that night and how no feelings were involved when it happened. I eventually tuned her out before J heard the door open and it was Nova

"You ready?" He asked

"Mhm, let me grab the my suit case." I told
him and he looked at me before mugging Aniyah.

"So that's it? you're willing to throw years of a friendship down the drain over a nigga that beat the fuck out of you Zae??" Aniyah asked causing for my heart to drop

"Aye shawty you gotta go." Nova spoke before walking over

"I'm talking to my friend? move around." she told him

"I don't give a fuck, you not finna disrespect her especially in my fucking face, I don't even know why she keeping shit sweet with you." He spoke

"because we're friends, real friends don't just fall out
like."

"Well I guess we're not real friends Niyah." I said before grabbing my suitcase and Nova took it out my hands

"I have to go." I told her before she looked at me with pleading eyes

"We were drunk Zae, after everything we went our separate ways we were never doing anything behind your back, i'm sorry and I know it hurt you and you didn't deserve it, but I promise I had no intentions behind it Zaeda." Aniyah explained

My eyes began watering up but I quickly
wiped them before looking at Nova and breaking eye contact with him as well.

"Get out." Nova told her

"Zae-"

"Get the fuck out Aniyah damn, she keeping shit sweet with you for whatever reason, but you nasty and weird as fuck, bounce." He repeated before opening the door.

After Aniyah pulled herself together she walked out the door and I shook my head before taking a deep breath

"You straight ?"

I nodded before he pulled me into a comforting hug hug and my face sunk into his chest.

Over the week me and Aniyah had been going at it, she continued to explain herself and her story wasn't different from Ty's but I didn't care, the whole situation blew me.

The animosity that she carried because of her guilt was what pissed me off the most. I thought all this time that I was just being a unreliable friend which was getting me treated the way that she was treating me, but they went the case at all.

She also lied which grew suspicion about if it was only one time, I was questioning everything about our friendship and it honestly hurt.

"We're gonna miss our flight, i'm ok." I reassured Nova before grabbing my suit case

It's New Year's Eve, and tomorrow was the big day for Nova. He was taking on Duke and this fight was going around as the fight of the year.

Since Nova had been traveling country to country for the past couple of fights, Duke was somewhat coming to him. The fight was booked in New York at the Barclays center, which was waaaay closer than London which was where the fight was gonna originally take place.

Don't get me wrong, I would've loved to be in London, but it was also a plus because Nova's dad will be able to attend.

After arriving to the airport and getting through TSA we eventually made it onto our flight and got comfy in first class. Out of all of the flights that i've taken, this was my first flight with first class but Nova looked used to it. He had automatically reclined his seat back and opened all of the freebies that they had provided.
