*Chris/breezy

The party didn't end until 3, leaving the crew and myself beyond tired. Looking around Austin's place was trashed, but he didn't even care because he had so much fun and the party was an success.

"Come on girls I'm ready to go." Jhene came out the bathroom. All through out the night we would joke and play around on top of dancing, but she seemed off to me.

"You leaving?" I asked raising up from the sofa

"Yeah, it's late and I'm mad hungry." She said grabbing her phone from the coffee table in front of me

"Okay I'm ready. Bye brown." Kristen smiled

"Wait let me take Jhene home." I said quickly

"But they staying over." Jhene said

"It's cool, y'all have fun. Give me the key though." Kristen held out her hand

"I hate you." Jhene mumbled to her

"But I love you baby!" Kristen leaned in and kiss her on the lips

On the lips? Are they drunk? Are they high? I don't know but I couldn't keep my eyes off them. Jhene kissed back and quickly.

"Whoa!" Austin yelled with his drunk self tripping over everything to see them

"Dang! We doing it like that! Like that!" Mijo laughed

Jhene pulled away looking at Kristen before pushing her, and they both started laughing.

"Son you a lesbian!" Jhene laughed

"Come on Jhene." I grabbed her wrist softly

"Y'all drive safe." I told them patting my pockets for my key once I found them I got Jhene in the car and we sped off. I didn't want her to talk to me because I was highly pissed.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked

"Just sit back be quite and enjoy the ride." I told her flexing my jaw.

We ended up at this food spot that sits on top of a roof.

I got out leaving her in to go get us two hot dogs. Once returning she wouldn't even look at me.

"Here Jhene." I tried to give her the hot dog

"No I don't want it." She pushed it back

"Just eat it." I said

"NO!" She shook hear head and that's when the tears fell

"What's wrong?" I panicked

"Darn it Chris I hate you so much!" She yelled

"What the hell did I do?" I asked more than confused

"I saw the way you looked at me! You looked at me the way both of them look at me." She cried bringing a hand to her forehead

"Both of who? Who?" I asked

"My dad and Ryan!" She yelled pulling her hair

"Who is Ryan?" I asked netting my eye brows together

"My ex, you act just like him and I swear I hate you for that!" She tried to get out the car but I locked the doors

"What did I do?" I stressed

"You act like him, you talk like him, you make me feel like he use to make me feel.....but for how long though? Huh? You gone just up and leave me like him? You just gone disappear like him? You just gone stop loving me like him?" She asked as more tears rolled down her face

"Jhene! JHENE! Breathe!" I grabbed bother her wrist

"Calm down!" I went on to say

"I'm not him. In the least. I wouldn't leave you, and I wouldn't never stop loving you. How do you expect us to build any type of relationship when you can't let go of your past one?" I asked searching her eyes

*Jhene

He was making me uncomfortable by the way he was staring at my soul..... if I had one

"I don't know." I mumbled

"What does your soul tell you?" He asked

".....I don't know....I don't have one." I closed my eyes feeling more tears burn my eyes.
