15.) As I Am

And every time you kiss me I hear a song. When you look at me it's like nothing's ever wrong, Maybe I'm bad for living in the fantasy, One where you're almost as in love with me. As I am, I am, I am, I am with you. -Kehlani

I cross the street heading towards Roman's house. I hadn't seen him in a while and I wanted to talk to him. He wasn't returning my calls, and I was wondering was it because he found somebody else? When I made it to his house I saw his parent's cars in the driveway. The lights were on downstairs and a few upstairs. I went around the house to where his window and threw a few rocks at it. He didn't come to the window...

I looked towards the side noticing the white ladder blending in with the house. I climbed up the small steps to get to his window. When I approached his window I could see he was balled up on his bed on the floor with no sheets on the bed. He was shaking vigorously. I knocked on the window several times, and he still didn't move. I did it again harder, and his door swings open. I moved to the side out of view.

When I peeked around again I could see Roman sitting up as his Dad stood in the doorway yelling at him. I couldn't make out what he was saying but he looked pissed. I knew Roman's parents treated him like a pet. I wanted to help him but we were only in ninth grade. What could I do? Roman didn't have the freedom I had at this age. His dad exited his room, and Roman began to curl up and cry.

I knocked on his window again, and this time his head shot up. He looked over towards the window seeing me, and wiping his tears. He made his way over towards the window and unlocked it. Once he lifted it up, I climbed my way inside.

" What are you doing here Zhan? " He asked, stepping back.

" I wanted to see you. " I stated, turning around to close the window. " You aren't responding to my texts. "

" I couldn't... Zhan you're gonna get me in trouble. " He panicked, going to the door, and peeking into the hallway.

" Man relax we good. They didn't see me. " I said, grabbing one of his books that was laying on the floor near his bed. " What's this shit? " I ask, flipping through the book.

He tried to snatch it from my hands but I held it away from his reach. " Zhan stop. That's mines. "

I pushed him back and there the book down. " Ion like you reading shit like this! "

He rushed over to pick his book up. He held it close to his chest as he placed it under his pillow. " That's all I have. " His face dropped into sadness.

" Man pick your head up. " I slapped him under his chin to raise his head. " I told you about that shit. "

He turned his head away from me. I know he ain't doing what I think he is. I pulled him by his arm causing him to fall back by me.

" I know your ass ain't about to cry. " I tried to turn his head towards me, but he pulled away. " Roman don't let me see a tear fall from your face bruh. I swear to God. " I threatened.

" I'm not about to cry Zhan. " He said, and I released his arm.

I heard a loud rumbling from out of the blue. I looked over at him and seen him holding his stomach. " You gotta shit nigga? "
