Same Evening
"Jayce please don't leave!". Jayce snatched his arm away mugging Delano who had a bouquet of pink roses in his hand. "This how we playing it Aimee?".
"N-no! I didn't even know he was coming I swear". Jayce ignored her getting into his jeep speeding off shortly.
Tears burned in her eyes as she watched his yellow jeep disappear. "I'm assuming that's ya nigga or some?". Snapping her head in Delano's direction anger started to set in.
"Why the fuck are you here?!".
Delano was caught off guard by her sudden outburst, frowning he stuffed his hand in his pocket. "I was invited by Jack, why you aggressive wimmie?".
"You're kidding right?! Why am I aggressive? Did you catch amnesia? Did you forget what you did to me?!". Delano rubbed the back of his neck, "I apologize for that shit man. It happened four years ago, I changed".
"You've changed?". Aimee scoffed as her frown deepened, "You apologized?! You think a stupid ass 'my bad' can make me forgive you for what you put me through?! You've caused unwarranted pain in my life, I hate you!".
"Fuck you and your stupid ass flowers!". She slapped the bouquet out of his hand. "Aimee!". Her father's tone frightened her, flinching she turned to see nearly everyone standing out front.
"Your mother or I didn't raise you this way! Why are you out here going off like this?". The disappointment in her father's eyes was enough to bring tears to hers.
"Why is he here? Who told Aunt Jackie to invite him?!". Matthew raised his eyebrow, "I think you need to watch your tone, he was invited because he too is graduating and we didn't see a problem with him stopping by. Yes you guys had a break up four years ago but that doesn't stop him from being a friend of the family, it's harmless Aimee".
"No it's not dad! You guys know for one I am in a relationship so this is disrespectful to Jayce and two he's not a friend of the family, he's nothing to me and he should be nothing to you guys as well". It was Maryann's turn to frown, they didn't like the energy Aimee was off putting.
"Aimee watch it, you don't get to make that call for us. Your aunt has been in his life for well over ten years, yes it was unfortunate that things played out the way they did but that doesn't change anything. You can forgive like we did, you guys were young anyways". Maryann crossed her arms as Aimee's face turned up.
"I'll never forgive someone who put their hands on me! He nearly beat me to death, I'll never forgive that so if you want to continue to deal with him that's on you". She heard gasps as she rushed to her car getting inside.
She didn't want to stick around for the fake concern or the aftermath of her exposing Delano, her only concern was getting to Jayce. She needed him, she needed them to be on good terms.
