When Times Get Hard

Part 21- Damage

Aaliyah's POV

As I leave Jordan's house I call up my best friend Kennedy to ask to spend the night. I don't know why I'm upset but I am.

"Hey bookie making time no talk, what's up"

"Can I please come over and spend the night"

"Of course but what happened to yo wife life?" She said making herself laugh

"Let's get one thing clear I was never a wife cause I wasn't even a girlfriend... plus I'm not even gay..."

"You was sho gay when she was eating it up huh" she said interrupting me

"Any fucking ways she lied well I guess not lied but didn't tell the whole truth"

"Damn I'm sorry bookie, we can talk about it more when you get here I gotta let my moms know you on your way over"

"Alright I'll be there in 15, love you and thank you"

"Of course bookie yk I got yo back"

She hangs up the phone as I continue my drive. I know I shouldn't be mad because technically she didn't lie to me. But like when you knew why I was getting my ass kicked and kicked out the least you could say is "oh yea there's right" yk.

I pull up to Kennedys house and walk in, speak to her mom, then we headed to her room. I walked in sat on her bed and immediately started ranting about Jordan.

"Babes you know I love you and I wanna be on yo side so bad. Yes you're right she should've at least told you who her dad was but you act like there wasn't signs to this shit either. And does this really make her a bad person? She's been so good and nice to you."

"But like she KNEW and didn't say anything and then to find out the beef between my dad and hers is so weird"

"Maybe you just need to sleep on this and you can really see how you feel after some rest."

"Yea maybe you're right... can I sleep in the bed with you tonight tho" I asked damn near begging since the stuff with my mom I just prefer to have another person in the room or bed with me

"Um yea but don't be mistaking me for Jordan in the middle of the night, our legs don't need to cross or you WILL be sleeping on the floor" she says jokingly

"Ugh shut up I'm not THAT down bad" I say as I get up in her bed

Jordan's POV

I couldn't sleep for shit. It's like my body got used to having Liyah on me and cuddled up on me that I couldn't sleep. Plus I had no idea where she was or could be. I tried to call twice and text her but she never answered. I swear I ain't ever tripped out like this.

It was 30mins before my alarm and I gave up trying to even sleep. I guess today is the day I'm on time. I start getting ready for my day. After I'm almost fully dressed and styled. I sit down at my desk sav's start rolling a wood because I REALLY could use one right now.

I throw in my shirt then grab my blunt, lighter, and backpack and head out the door. I light my blunt in the way to school to hopefully mellow me out. I get to school and go straight to my class saying I don't really mess with the people here forreal it's easier to just be at school for the education. I turned my work and sat at my desk listening to music and sketching.

Eventually I started to notice people walking in I aimed to bell rang even though I didn't hear it. Either way I was minding my business.

Aaliyah's POV

I walked into class and head to my seat and to my surprise I noticed Jordan had beat me to class. Skip class she beat me to SCHOOL.

After class the bell rang. I was about to head out I realized Jordan was still at her desk sleep. Her and these damn headphones. I walk over and tap her on the shoulder to let her know the bell rang.

"What" she said looking up at me with low red eyes. Damn she sexy.

"Class ended" I said showing her the room

"Oh preciate it" she said grabbing her stuff and getting up

"Why you so sleepy?" I asked kinda concern because she's NEVER sleepy always On alert

"I didn't get any sleepy, not like you care or it's yo business" she said walking away from me

Wow I mean I know I was kind of rude last night. But did she have to cold shoulder me so bad. I feel so bad, I literally became the person I told her I wasn't like even though she assumed I was.

I wanna cry so bad. I never meant to hurt her I just need some time to process and think about everything she told me.

- - - - -

The bell rang telling us it was time to go home. I rushed to the parking lot trying to find Jordan's car. I've been trying to contact her and she won't answer me.

I make it to her car and she's already in starting it up. I open up her passenger door and get in.

"Bro wtf! Get out my car G."

"No i needa talk to you" I say grabbing her arm to stop her from putting the car in reverse

"I don't have much to say to you if I'm being honest so please again I ask you to get the fuck out my car"

"Don't cuss at me like that. And I do have something to say"

"Number one you don't tell me what to do, and fine make this shit quick I got shit to do"

"I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry. I left so rude and I became the person you assumed I was and the person I told you I wasn't. I just didn't know what to do or think in the moment and I Realized in a way my parents were right when it comes to genetics and family but they were so wrong when it came to personality and morals."

"Yea that's koo I accept your apology. Now can you get out my car?" She asked almost nonchalantly

I grabbed her face and kissed her, I held my kiss until she kissed me back. I pull back and smile at her because I knew she really did forgive me.

"I get that what I told you was a lot and shii but you ain't have to leave like that. That shii was fucked up mane. I couldn't even fucking sleep cause you didn't even tell me where you were going and you ignored me"

"I know I'm so sorry"

"Alright cool now bring yo ass back home, I got some shii to do and handle then I'll be there. Now get out my car before someone take another picture" Her calling it home made me smile so hard

"I promise I will be there when you get there I just need to go to the store"

" alright here" she said handing me a credit card

"What's this for?"

"For whatever you going to the store for"

I smile, give her a kiss on the cheek then get out the car. I headed towards my car still kind of watching her pull out the parking lot. She turns the corner and I hear gunshots and see her car flying down the street. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
