Love Eases Pain (Completed)

Chapter Three

Janellys' POV

  We get to where ever he brang me. We get out and I look around and this area looks worse than where I stay. I been over here a couple times when I was younger. But I haven't been here in a while. A long time. Angelo walks up to an apartment building and I follow behind as he goes to the hallway where there's an elevator. We go up and he goes down the hallway up to a door that's beat the hell up.

  "Who lives here?" I looked at him like what the hell is this. "FSK." He didn't have to say no more after that he knocked on the door twice and twisted the handle. They opened up the door. "Wassup!" Angelo walked in, I followed behind as usual. "Who's she?" "Oh my bad, Janellys this is Will, Dennis, Kev, Chris, Jerrold, Josh, Jeannie, Vanessa, Shelly, and Cristal... The rest of us is off busy." "Um hey I'm Janellys" I said waving hi and smiled shy. Will blurted out "that's your girl?" "No, she ain't my girl." Angelo shot back. "Girl how did you meet this boy?" Jeannie ask me. I laughed "in school." "In school?" Dennis busted out laughing, "I forgot Angelo the one with brains around here." "I mean it ain't really that funny... To be honest." I replied. "Just chill Jay it's aight they just playing." Vanessa said, "they can be ass holes some times."

  We chilled there for a couple hours. There was so many people coming in and out of that apartment I don't even remember how many people I met today. "You want to go home?" Angelo asked me. "I'm ready to leave when you are, I'm good," I said in a low tone. He looked at me in my eyes. I could tell he was looking into my eyes. We sat there in an awkward silence. "I'm ready to go, I gotta take care of some things," he said getting up from the chair he was sitting in. "Okay that's fine then let's go." I waited a second. "I'll see y'all later," he said walking towards the door following me. I said bye to all of them then waited in the hallway for him to come out. When he came out he began to walk down the hallway towards the elevator. "You alright Jay?" "Yeah I'm good. Little tired but I'm good."

  The elevator opened and we walked in. There was 2 police officers in there. They looked right at us. Angelo saluted them. I smiled. They kept staring at us. "You guys live here?" The one officer asked looking me up and down. Angelo replied, "nah we don't." The other officer asked us where we were going. "My house," I said aggravated. All I could think of is I hope Angelo isn't carrying anything. They going to follow us I already know. "Where you live?" The officer asked. I was getting tired of this damn officer asking questions. "9674 S Waiola Ave." I blurted out. Knowing that, that is not my address. "And your all the way on this side of the city." He answered back. If this cop don't stop asking us these questions I'm going to flip. This happens every time. The elevator opens and me and Angelo step out and the police come out after us. They stop outside of the elevator while me and Angelo go back to the car and get in. "They ask too many questions." He said turning on the car while I put my seat belt on. "I'm saying!" He put his seat belt on and drove off. "Who's address is that?" He started laughing. "I don't know to be honest." I laughed and put my head back on the seat and turned my head facing him. I stared at him as he was driving. He look so damn good. I can't do it though what am I talking about? I busted out laughing and he looked at me, "you okay?" He laughed. "Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking." I smiled at him, he looked back on the road.

  By the time he got to my house we sat in front talking for a good long hour. "You know what's funny? I never thought I'd bond with another person this much," I said. "Never thought you would talk to me and open up." "Well life happens." I looked out the window, a tear rolls down my cheek. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I just never felt this way for anybody." I bursted out in tears. "Just chill. Jay." He grabbed my hand. "Jay look at me." I looked at him, and tried to stop crying. "Your that type of girl to make a n*gga change his life and yours. Don't worry about what has gone on in your life. I'm here for you, I want to be here for you." I started smiling a little but the tears kept coming I couldn't hold the smile it faded quick. "Janellys Aliah Banks smile for me." Him saying my name like that gave me butterflies in my stomach. The tears began to stop. I looked up at him and smiled. He wiped my tears away. "I ain't here to hurt you, I want you to be mines. I need you to be mines. I want to make you smile like this. Just seeing your face gives me power, seeing you sad or upset makes me mad. Because you won't let me help. You push me away. This probably the first time you let me in." "I'm not ready for all this. Don't get me wrong Angelo, but I ain't ready for it. Like I said I never felt this way about somebody, it's one for me. I just want to be friends." "I can't do friends. You got to give me more than that, because we are not just friends." "Yes we are friends. We are really good friends." I get out the car. "I'm sorry, Angelo but we can only be friends." He just sat there in disappointment.
