"because you knew, and you basically dropped me and our friendship for her." aiyana admits. ddot's grip on her chin slackens further, now just holding her face gently. he takes a moment to process her words, trying to understand her perspective. "that ain't true, aiyana. i ain't drop you for her." he replies, his voice serious but still gentle.
"you was my best friend before all that. i ain't just gon' throw that away for somebody i met freshly." ddot continues, his tone still tender but firm. "but you did darrien." she shakes her head in disbelief. ddot's expression softens further. he can see the hurt and disbelief in aiyana's eyes, and he knows that he unintentionally hurt her. he releases her chin and takes a deep sigh. "i ain't mean to make you feel that way, aiyana. but i didn't drop you."
aiyana lets out a sarcastic smile. "so what the hell do you call ignoring me, not pickin' up ya phone when i tried to communicate with you, rollin' ya eyes at me in the halls, and letting that bitch talk shit about me?"
ddot takes a step closer to aiyana, his expression apologetic. "i ain't mean to hurt you like that. i was stupid, and i regret it. is there anythin' i can do to make it up to you?"
"darrien it was six years ago, best believe i don't give a fuck." aiyana lets out a laugh full of lies. ddot can see through aiyana's fake laugh. he knows her well enough to tell when she's pretending to be okay. his guilt grows even stronger, knowing that he hurt her more than she's letting on. "you lyin'. i can tell you still care."
