Torn Between The Two.

Chapter 2.

Aaleeyah's POV

Me & DaQuan arrive to the restaurant around 9:40 (we was suppose to be there around 9:00 but, DaQuan was bullsh*tting around as always).
We walked over to the table to see, Matthew, Ray, Markquees & Markquees girlfriend, Tamia (my bestfriend of 7 years) all sitting at the table waiting on us.

"About time they show up" chuckled Ray.
" We was coming but, yo' boy wanted to take all day, you know how that goes with this fool" I said.
Everyone laughed & we sat down.
The waitress, comes over & says
"Is everybody ready to order now?"

Ray, looks up smiles, taps Matthew leg & says, "sure & I'll have a cheeseburger, some cheese fries with a large sprite thanks beautiful".
Matthew starts laughing.
Then, she goes to Tamia, Markquees, Matthew & then, me to get our orders.

When, she got to DaQuan he didnt make eye-contact with her & he kept scratching his neck but he said "Um, I'll get the same thing, uh' Ray, had except add another burger & make that a pepsi instead & that's all". He never looked up, I grabbed his leg & said:

"Are, you okay baby?" He moved my hand & said "Move, damn".
I looked up to see our friends we're looking at us but, tried not to make it noticeable. I then, turned to the waitress who, kept looking at DaQuan, I looked up & said,

"Is that all you need?". She looked at me & said "Yeah, um why?"

I said "Because, your eyes was all over my nigga & more & you, seem pretty stuck or something & I can fix your eyes for you, that's why!".

DaQuan grabbed my mouth & looked up & said "Alright, alright chill Leeyah & that's all we need thanks, bye".
The waitress snickered & said "Sure, whatever DaQuan".

I looked at him & said "How she know you?" & he laughed & said "Here you go". I said "Yeah, here I go now, answer the question".

Tamia took a big gulp of her liquor & turned my direction & said "Leeyah, it's alright boo, you already know how his little childish a** is, enjoy your night boo".

DaQuan looked up & said "Why, yo' mouth always in our business?" & he grabbed my shoulder "Baby"  but, I moved his hand & said "Baby, my a**"

Tamia, busted out laughing & said "The, same reason your slow a** is unloyal because, you can't help yourself right?" She took another gulp out of her drink.

Matthew said "Okay, y'all chill before, we have to leave".

DaQuan gets up & says, "Too late, I'm leaving now, Leeyah let's go!" & he walks off mad.

I looked at him & turned my head, I fixed my skirt & said.
"Ya'll I'll see y'all later, sorry I ruined your birthday party, Matthew & we both got up & hugged each other & he whispered in my ear "You, deserve better babygirl" I ignored him & removed myself & said, "alright everybody".

Tamia laughed & hugged me & said,
"Mhmhm, ill call you later, bestfriend".
I gave her a grin & walked out the restaurant.

Me & DaQuan started driving home, no music was playing at all, we just drove in silence, he was mad, you can tell my his face but, ask me did I give a f***. We, pulled up to our place 25 minutes later & before, I got out the car he, grabs my arm & say, "I'm sorry about the argument baby" & I looked at him & snatched my arm & said, it's more then, the argument & got out the car. I slammed the car door & walked up the stairs to our aparment. He came behind me a couple seconds later, unlocked the door & we walked in, He said " After, I clean up the kitchen, ima run you some bath water" I looked at him, stuck my finger up & walked up stairs.

15 minutes later

I was laying in the bed & I heard foosteps coming up the stairs, I turned over to the lamp on my side of the bed. I heard Daquan kept saying "Baby, you up"? (x3).
He even, nugged me over & I ignored him. He said "Damn, well she knocked" & I heard the bathroom door close & then, I layed on my back & I hear his iPhone ding & I slide it open & See, Stacy on it she says "I'm mad, you didn't speak or anything at the resturant & you, had the nerve to shoot me off for your little girlfriend but, I know you miss me, miss us, well, I miss you & I hope you didn't forget to come get your hoodie later & we can talk then".

I blinked twice & hard I tried my best not to break his damn phone, I heard the water stop in the bathroom & I slinged his phone back on the table, tears was in my eyes I just kept saying to myself "why me?" for a few I was just thinking about what happened earlier that day & what Matthew had said to me.

he was right I didn't deserve this bullish*t, me & Daquan have been together for 3 years & some months it would be 4 years in 2 months & I'm fed tf up! our relationship started off pretty good the first 4 months then, when we moved in together oh, all hell broke lose. He barely wanted to spend time together, he was all out all times of the night, last year I caught him at a restaurant tonguing down the same trick I asked him about couples months before the incident & every since, I doubted everything he tells me.. it's like, I'm slowly giving up..& seeing that message, pissed me off more.

DaQuan came out the bathroom, with black shorts on, white socks & was yawning & saw, me sitting up with my arms crossed on the bed & I looked down once, I saw him look at my bag on the bed beside me.

"Hold up--Where you going?" yelled DaQuan.

"I'm leaving, staying with Tamia, tonight I need to get away".

" Why, don't go baby, I'll make it up to you, I promised I will never embarrass you, in public again" pleaded DaQuan.

"Look, it's more then, you fussing at me in public, I asked you about that girl, how she knows you, you try to switch the subject & fuss at Tamia, but you're the one doing wrong, does Stacy ring a bell, she texted you by the way Jacka**" I yelled.

I picked up my bag & slide on my flipflops, got my keys up & snatched my phone off the bed. He got in front of the door & said "If you leave me, I swear I'll kill myself!".

I hated when, he talked like that & he knew it too. I think he would use that to keep me around because, he knew I wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to him. He knew what to say & what to do to make me stay & I hated him for making me feel that way...

"Quan, I'm begging you to move, or be moved, I don't want to stay here, what you need me for, you got your hoes, now move out my way before I snap on you".

"Did, you hear me?" you, really just going to walk out the door?" He yelled in my face.

Before, I knew it I had slapped the hell out of him, he turned to me & pushed me so hard on the ground & got on top of me & started choking me & I was gagging & couldn't breathe, I scratched the side of his face & he got off me, He was holding his bloody face & I got my phone ran to the bathroom, closed the door & locked it & dialed 911.

10 minutes later.
The police arrived, I explained what happened & told them, I just wanted to leave & he wouldn't let me & that I wouldn't press charges as longs as I could get my stuff & leave safe with their help. I put all my heels & sneakers in one bag, zipped it up. Then, pulled out my dresser draw & cleaned out 3 of my dressers & grabbed my hoodie & I got my pocketbook off the floor & said, "I'm all done, I'll be back tomorrow to get the rest my things with Tamia".

The police officer, explained to DaQuan that, I'm allowed to get my things tomorrow & if he don't allow me then, they will get involved again. As, I walked down the stairs, I saw him put a band-aid on his cheek & his face was frowned up. I turned my head & went down the steps, got in my altima & drove off.
