Amira's POV

The twins and I walked back to the food court to meet the boys. Our phones were ringing off the hook, but we didnt answer. We wanted them to be surprised. We spotted the boys before they spotted us. Prodigy was in line for Coldstone. I went and stood behind him. 

I tapped Prodigy on his shoulder and he turned around. At first he just looked at me. Then after a second or two, he said, "Babe?" He hugged me really tight. "What is this?" He pointed to my tattoo on my shoulder.

"A tattoo, hun."

"What?! You been with them twins too long. That better be your last tattoo."

"Better Be? Last? Who you talking to?" By this time, I was already getting mad. Who did he think that I was?

"Yes! It better be your last! Or I might have to reconsider 'us'." He looked me into my eyes.

"Don't 'reconsider' anything. We can be over now." As soon as I turned to walk away, the tears started to stream down my face. First one, then another, then I couldn't stop. I took the bottom of my shirt, wiped my tears, and went to the table with everyone else. Ray and Prince weren't mad with the twins! Why did Prodigy have to go off on me like that? Whatever. I sat back in my chair and began to daydream about how much better Prodigy's reaction could have been.

"Amira? Amira?!" Roc snapped in my face.

"Huh?" I said, bringing myself back here.

"Where's Prod?"

"I don't know and I couldn't care less." I said and went straight back into daydreaming. The rest of the gang went back to talking and when it was time to go, still no Prod. We walked back to the car, and there he was, sitting inside.

I climbed all the way in the back, not wanting to face reality. When we got back to the house, I packed up all of my things, and sat them by the door. I need to know one thing. Did he love me? That is my only question. Did he ever love me. I turned off my phone, slid it into my suitcase and slipped out into the night. I went to the corner and looked both left and right. I saw a bench a couple blocks down by the right, so I went and sat there. Now, we wait.

PRODIGY'S POV

Why did i do that? The only thing that was right in my life, I fucked it up. I felt like Chris Brown when he said, "Cuz I done effed up in love before." When we got to the house, it was pretty late. I went straight to my room to pack. I was trying to focus on packing, but my mind kept drifting back to Amira. I threw down the shirt I was folding and put my arms above my head. I took deep breaths, and decided to go check on her. I went in her room. Spotless. I went in the kitchen. No Amira. I went in every single room. Nobody knows where she is. I got nervous. I tried calling her, but it went straight to voicemail.

"Baby. I miss you. Call me when you get this." I tried again. "Amira, I'm serious. Don't do this to me. I.. I overreacted. You can do whatever you want to your body. I can't control that! I... I... Lov---"

"We're sorry. Your message was too long. You can either hang up or press one for more options." The machine spoke. I waited. And waited. "Are you still there?" It asked. I hung up and threw my phone at the wall.

WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?! I looked over and saw her suitcase by the door. The front door was open a little bit, too. So, I walked out. I looked both ways and something was telling me to go right. I walked and walked until I saw her balled up on a bus stop bench.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked her.

"You came for me. You really do love me." She said getting up to hug me.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said hugging her tight. My face was in the crook of her neck. I started to kiss it. I kissed one spot and she shuddered. Found it 😝

We stood there hugging so i decided to  sing to her.

"I'm not gonna be the one to mess this up! Cuz I fine effed up in love before. Ima be the one to take a backseat, girl, we can take our time and you can run this! Stay in, go out anything you want girl we can do! Where are we going now? I don't know. But from here and now, Ima leave that up to you!"
