Love Is Like A Playlist

No

After today...I can't do anything. I can't eat, sleep. What I need is Langston by my side.

My mom is worried sick about me. I keep trying to tell her that I'm fine, but you know mothers!

Langston isn't answering his phone. How come it seems as if the World doesn't want us together?

Every time we get on a good steady ground. It's like a big hurricane come through and destroy everything we try to bulid.

Now he's probably in his room regretting he ever met me and denying his true love and passion for me.

It just makes me want to throw up. Ugh! Why does the World look at me like a gross roach that deserves to be stepped on or any other way to be killed?

I really have to stop with the metaphors. My phone started ringing. It said Nana. Yay, maybe someone who can cheer me up!

"Hello!",I say hiding my true feelings. I hear someone sniff back tears.

"Hello?", I ask curiously.

"Jasmine. Nana....died.",the voice on the other end says.

"W-What! Hello? Who is this?', I ask not believing a single word.

"It's Betty.", the voice says.

Betty is my aunt who takes care of Nana. Tears roll down my face but not a word comes out.

"Jasmine? You still there?", my aunt says

. "Yeah," I say trying not to tremble. "Put your mother on the phone dear.", she says.

I run downstairs to my mom. "Why are you crying?", she asks.

I push the phone to her ear and sink in the corner crying.

Soon enough my mom drops the phone on the floor. She starts screaming no and it can't be true.

Greg comes and picks up the phone. He talks awhile and then hangs up. He holds my mom. DayDay comes down and helps me to my feet.

"Nana..died", I say crying into his chest.

Even though Greg and DayDay didn't really know Nana, they comforted us like they did. That's why I love them.
