JAY VIEW-SIDE

JAY, sighs hearing that Zoey is now leaving New York. He doesn't know how to feel and plus he haven't talked to the girl ever since. Jay felt guilty somehow.

That he didn't talked nor explained why. Just left Zoey alone. People went to him seeing that she was leaving and not coming back to New York. He wasn't for sure but seven his brother and mother said it too.

So he didn't know if it was true or not. Either way. It hurted his feelings." Jay... you have to come out your room." Jay ignored whoever was speaking and continued to be on his phone.

As the music plays on his iPhone 12 Pro, tears came down his face. He was going to miss that girl. She was his heart, his first love, kiss, date. Everything about her was beautiful. It was to soon to forget her to leave him.

There is no way she isn't going say bye or speak about the situation but instead just didn't care. She hasn't called him or text him. Haven't came to school, so he knew she was really leaving the state.

"Go away. I don't wanna talk to anyone right now." Jay speaks as tears continue to run down his soft face. He wipes them and the knocking continues to keep going on. The young boy sighs knowing it won't go away.

He open the door with a men's look on his face but it then soften up. Jay immediately hugs Zoey in his arms crying in her neck. Zoey laughs hugging him back." I missed you too, peanut." She pulls away but any hugged her longer.

He was happy and sad mix emotions was all over his body. Like he was feeling happy, confused, concerned, angry many more.

He couldn't believe live his eyes right now. His lady, wife, girl, best friend, his heart was literally right in front of him. Zoey smiles kissing his lips twice. She sat on his bed taking her shoes off.

"So.. why is you crying?!" She said with soften in her voice. She was honestly confused about her boyfriend was crying. The reason why she haven't talked to him in a minute was becuase family problems.

Like bad ones, she has to get a job to pay half of the bills. Her mother is on drugs right now and her dad is getting abuse to her. Things been going on in her family and she didn't want to get it off her chest.

Instead she just left it alone. Zoey didn't want anyone to worried about her. She hated that shit, the young girl also didn't like too much attention. It made her uncomfortable and nervous.

Zoey don't like too much people on her. It costs anxiety to build up. Zoey moved her hair out her face placing it behind her ear.

"Baby, talk to me. You haven- we haven't spoke in what? About a year in a half. People even told me you was moving states? I wanted to talk to you but you always disappears on me like I'm some fucking ghost!" Zoey mugs the fact that someone said that she was moving out of states.

She never was going to do that." Can we move on from that.." Jay sighs rubbing his hands up and down his face from frustration. Zoey heart was racing hardly. She was scared of what might happen next.

Jay walked up to her like he was going to hit her. Zoey immediately protected herself from him and begin to cry.

awe.. shit zo.

Jay sat down to her grabbing her waist removing her hands from her face." What's wrong mama? I wasn't going to hit you. You know that shit, I won't ever put my hands on you." Zoey sighs.

Then sniffed." I have to go my brother wants me." He puts her in his lap.

"I'm not stupid. Now this is what we not going to do Zoey. We gonna sit here and act like teenagers and talk about our fucking problems. I'm not gonna force or anything but baby.. please pretty. I need you to talk to me. Why you flinched, ma? You know I won't ever do no shit like that too you. And plus you been loving with your family. Is they on good terms right now?" Zoey burst into tears after the last party.

Jay finally understood why she has been doing this, it was because of her family. It was all going into his head. She flinched right? So that means someone in her family must be abusing her. Jay hold her tight in his arms not wanting her to let go.

He then pecks her lips and cheeks after taking her salty ass from her face." Ma, come on. How about we just have some Olive Garden." She looked up after he said that smiling a little bit.

Jay smirks knowing she was going to stop crying that was her favorite food place ever. He was going to take her to many more of her favorites after they got done eating.

The young boy had a lot on his mind about the situation but decided to brush it off and flake about it later. That way she was going to be more comfortable to explain to him about what's going on.

Then Jay can do the same to her.
