CRETE

Chapter 34

We're outside the basketball court as Gio came to look for my ass as she found me hanging out with AMP, she knows damn well I ain't talking to them and I'm thinking about what I'm going to do moving forward and how our friendship is going to turn out.

"So why are you looking for me?"

Gio: Can't I come see how you are?

"I ain't talking to you though"

Gio: Destinee, for real?

"What?"

Gio: Is you really going to hold this grudge on us still?

"What the fuck am I supposed to do? Beg. No. What the fuck. Y'all hurt me bad and I have a right to sit down and just think about where I'm taking this friendship for real"

Gio: I understand you. Okay. That's fine. I'm sorry, I don't know how much times i've gotta apologise but just know that I have. I'm sorry.

"I don't know yet"

Gio: So you not hanging out with us then?

"What was I doing in the past 2 weeks? So yea, I'm still not hanging with y'all"

Gio: Destinee, I don't know what's gotten into you but you've changed so much.

"What? I'm just having a new perspective on how this is going. Just let me think please."

Gio: Okay, I'll give you some space. It's okay. I won't abandon you. If you need me, I'll be there. When you've changed back into your old self.

"I'm still the same bitch"

Gio: To me, you ain't.

Gio then walks away from me and then I let out an exhale and I went inside the basketball court. I'm starting to really deep how bad this is going. I don't want to lose my friends. Concrete were there for me through thick and thin. And it's been us for a long time. For me to leave them, it's a bit weird.

I then see Ammi and Callie signaling me to come and sit down. I then walk up to them and sit down on the benches.

Ammi: What was that all about?

"Girl, she really wants me to come back to Concrete and I feel Gio to be honest"

Callie: Destinee, you've got to forgive them. But the thing is, is it right for you to stay there?

"What do you mean by that Callie?"

Callie: If you sense that they don't want you in the group or they acting weird about it. Why not just leave and just join us?

"I've been with them since high school, they are my brothers and sisters, if I leave them so soon, it'll be so hard for me too because I'm always with them"

Ammi: Sometimes change is good. Think about it.

"Okay, thanks girls, change of subject please"

Duke then walks up to us and then grabs me by my hands and we go sit on the other benches on the other side. This nigga really showing dominance when it comes to me. My so called friends still don't know that me and Duke are official. But I just don't wanna hurt them. Well, they hurt me so why can't I just give them the same pain?

Thoughts on thoughts on thoughts. But anyways, I sat next to Duke and I zoned out whilst those thoughts played in my head on repeat. Duke then taps me in the shoulder.

Duke: You zoned off, you good?

"No of course I'm not good. I'm zoning out. That should be a sign right ?"

Duke: A sign of what? It better not be what I think it is.

"Nigga shut the fuck up, we still studying"
