"And then she just quit. Like she told me fuck me and never speak to her again."Riley explained. His eyes were glued to the floor with guilt and he wouldn't look up for anything. I rubbed his back lightly, it's nothing I could say for real. He was totally in the wrong.

"I mean what reaction do you expect her to have after you did all that. Your lucky she didn't see the hickey you have."I said. He touched his neck in remembrance and face palmed. "Shit!"he yelled. I pouted at the sight of my single and lonely friend. He never seemed this devastated after any breakup before so I knew he had it bad.

"Riley if you love her then why'd you go so far as to doing that?"I asked. He shot up and threw his hands in the air, "I don't know I'm just fucking dumb! I was thinking with my dick and not my fucking head."he whined.

I lightly patted his shoulder and he hugged me. "I fucked up."he whispered. "Big time, but you'll get her back. In the meantime you need to be focused for this game tomorrow. Go home and get some rest."I advised. He nodded and got up, grabbed his keys and left. I watched him sulk all the way to the car and lay his head on the steering wheel causing his car to honk for a long time.

Poor boy. He better play well tomorrow.

Tomorrow...

Riley was out here KILLING it. But he's been playing very aggressively. He got fouled twice and he's been angry all day. I guess he's going through the five stages of grief, and anger is the second one. Huey was watching him intently and was barely speaking. "So what the hell is wrong with him?"Jazmine whispered.

"Him and Angel are donezo,"I replied. She said 'oh' and I'm pretty sure it pieced together why he had been acting so out of character. Once the game was over everyone had been congratulating him on winning but all he did was shrug them off and walk to the locker rooms.

Huey and I followed him inside and he grabbed Riley's duffel bag out of his locker for him. "Riley what's wrong?"Huey asked. Riley was staring at the floor once again and hadn't said a word. "You'll have to talk at some point."Huey sung. "I had fucked a girl at Daja's party and I was just gon sweep it under the rug but her annoying ass went telling folks and word got to Angel and she fucking hate me."he huffed.

Huey rose his eyebrow, but before he could respond another voice chimed in. "Why would Angel care?" We froze and looked over by the water fountain. It was her brother, he stood there with his arms crossed over his chest and he looked livid. "Uh nothing man she already don't like me that was icing on the cake cause she think I'm a hoe."Riley lied.

Huey remained silent and was most definitely trying to read Chris's body language. To me it wasn't friendly at all. "You know ion like how yall think im fucking stupid."Chris chuckled. He walked out and came back in dragging Angel roughly by the arm, then snatched her phone out of her hand.

"I miss you, when imma see you again. I don't know Riley, Chris is gonna find out. No he won't I keep shit P."He read aloud. Angel looked like she was even more sick than the first day and she was paler than usual. "Is she okay?"I interrupted. "Shut the hell up she's fine. She just mad she got fucking caught."Chris snarled.

"So you been fucking on my sister Riley?"He yelled. Riley looked away from him and didn't respond and he got closer starting to yell in his face, "Imma ask you one more fucking time before I lay yo ass out on this floor nigga."he threatened. "You got one more time to yell in his face. Yell again."Huey snapped.

Chris backed up and he nodded then looked back at Angel who was silently crying and holding her stomach. "Why you crying? You wasn't crying when you was in this nigga bed. The fuck you got to say for yourself Angel? You think this shit a game?"he questioned. She shook her head and kept looking at the floor, "Look at me when I'm talking to you. I told you not to fuck with anyone on this team and here you go sending this nigga pictures of yourself and shit. Now you crying cause he went and fucked another bitch."he scolded.
