Someone Else

Nine

Breezy.

"I'm leaving!" I shouted as I stomped into the house.

"What the fuck you talking about? You ain't leaving, stop playing!" Tinashe shouted as she followed me upstairs.

"I'm not playing T. All this fighting is bullshit. I can't be fucked with it no more!"

I opened up my closet and started chucking some of my clothes in there. Even when I try and do something nice for her we still argue.

"We wouldn't argue if you didn't change so much! You are not the Chris I know anymore!"

I stopped packing and chucked my bag on the floor. I turned around to face her.

"You're right. I'm not the person I was before." I admitted.

"See it isn't all my fault." She huffed.

"The person before was a immature kid, who would do anything to look cool in front of you. I would bow down and do anything you wanted to do, as long as I was yours. I just wanted you. I have had you for five years and I still love you, and all I want to do is see you happy-

"I know Chris but you acting like you all good, nigga you still sell drugs?!"

"I don't want to sell no more. But I know if I told you that, it would of caused another argument. I don't want to be involved with that shit at all anymore. I want a family, I want you to be my wife-

"Why you always got to mention-

"Let me finish." I demanded. "I have grown up, my love has grown for you. I believe that you love me too. But when are you going to grow up T?"

I sighed and turned around, continuing to pack up my stuff.

"I'm grown. I stick up for myself and smoke a bit, that makes me not grown? You trippin'."

"I'm not leaving you forever, just until you grow up a bit. I just want us to be cool, I don't want this arguing to break us apart. We just need some time apart."

"C-Chris." Her voice cracked.

I froze. Is she really nearly crying? Tinashe crying? I slowly turned around to see her avoiding my eye contact.

"Please don't." I spoke softly.

I walked up to her and held her in my arms, she didn't return the hug. I stood there for a bit then I heard a few sniffles and she finally wrapped her arms around me.

"You can't leave me. I love you Chris." She cried.

"That's why I'm leaving. I don't want us to end up hating each other's. I'm not leaving forever, just for a bit. It's for the best." I sighed, trying to stick to my decision but her crying made me feel guilty.

"I don't even care if I'm being a baby and crying because I love you so much." She hugged me tightly.

"You ain't always gotta be tough T."

We stood there in silence for a bit longer. Just tightly embracing each other's. I don't want to go but I don't want to be no more us in the future. I just hope what I'm doing is for the best.

"Chris who's car is that?" Tinashe asked in confusion as she moved away from me.

I followed her eyes to see her looking outside, a car was pulling up into our driveway. I let go off her and walked closer to the window to look outside.

"T... You got any drugs in this house?" I asked nervously.

"No - Chris, why?"

"Quick pack some of your stuff up."

I quietly but quickly started re packing my bag. Some loud banging came downstairs from the front door.

"Who is it Chris?"

"The police. I don't know what they want but I'm not talking to them until I know what's happening. We leaving quickly."

Tinashe didn't ask any questions as she started packing her stuff too. We sell and Tinashe smokes, so it could possibly be about that. Either way I'm not taking any risks, we getting the fuck out of here.

I grabbed our phones and charges and placed them in my bag. Banging on the door started go get louder.

"Come on T." I whispered.

I took her hand and pulled her to the hall way.

"Now where we going?" She asked me in confusion.

"This window. I'm going to climb onto this tree, grab the ladder from the side and bring it back to help you get down." I told her the plan.

"Chris no that's to dangerous-

It was too late I was already working my way onto the tree. I looked up at her quick to see her covering her eyes with her hand. I made it safely on the tree then got down. I stopped once I heard the cop speaking, I think he was speaking to another cop on the phone or some shit. I didn't really listen as I quickly grabbed the ladder to get T down. I placed it up against the wall.

"Chuck the bags down." I whispered loud enough for her to hear me.

She whipped her head back as we both heard the cop trying to break into our home. Shit. We are running out of time. I caught both bags she threw down to me then I held the ladder firmly as she quickly made her way down. There was another bang, the biggest bang yet, I think his in our house now.

"Shit, did you get the car keys?" I asked T.

"No." She spoke in panic.

"We ain't got time, let's just go."

We both grabbed a bag each then took each other's hand, running away from the house. We ran up the street, then quickly took a left into a quieter area. I stopped us and got my phone out my pocket, then we started walking again.

"Trey, you need to come pick us up.... We need to stay at yours tonight." I spoke through my phone.

"What's wring with your house? I got my girl round here nigga, she just got off her period." He huffed.

"Dang. Nigga no one care about you not getting pussy. Our house just got broken into by the fucking cops. So bring your blue balls down here and come pick us up."

"The police? What T done this time? Shit... I'm on my way, where abouts you at?"

"I don't know what they want, that's what I need to find out... And we close to the Walmart near my house just pick us up there."

"Aight, see you in a bit."

"Bet."
