Save Me From You

I Promise.

-Next Week

"Do you want to breakup?" He asked me.

"No, why would I want that?"

He sucked his teeth. "Don't ask me that, Taiah." He leaned back in his seat. We're in a cafe on my campus and Darrius was acting like I was the boss of this relationship. I couldn't break up with him even if I was just playing!

"It's a yes or no question."

I rolled my eyes and sipped my coffee, "Why do we have to talk about it here?" I asked.

"We could go back to your crib. But you have class today and I didn't want to make it where you were late."

I gathered my stuff and headed towards the door, "I'm not worried about being late. Let's go." I said.

-My Apartment

"Do you want to break up, is the question." I said.

"Man, I don't even know."

He was shaking his head in his hands. He must know if he felt the need to bring it up. He pulled me down on top of him. He kissed me passionately, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"No." He said.

"No what?"

"No, I don't want to break up. I want us to stay together." He looked me in the eyes. "I want you to have my kids."

"When?" I asked.

"Now."

He picked me up and carried me into my room, "I can't have kids right now. I'm seventeen."

"I don't care."

"Darrius." I sighed.

"Come on, Tai."

"You're not serious."

"Yes I am!"

"No."

I got up to answer the door. It was Rodney, "Hey, " he hugged me.

"Get out!" Darrius yelled.

"Man, Darrius, shut up." Rodney said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, completely ignoring Darrius's eyes glaring at us.

"Sparky got locked up."

"Sparky got locked up?" I repeated in disbelief. "How?"

"The gun your boy stole was linked to a robbery." He nodded at Darrius.

I shook my head and slapped Darrius, "He never did anything!" I yelled. "Sparky didn't have a record until now and it's all because of you! Now he can't even see his son and it's all your fault!"

"Chill ma."

Rodney grabbed my hands, hugging me from behind, "Me and my homeboys got this. Don't waste your breath on him."

I cried in his arms, "Yes!" I yelled. "I want to break up!"

He just did an angry sigh and walked out, purposefully bumping into Rodney. Rodney sized him before slamming the door, just barely missing Darrius.

"Man." He watched me cry. I curled up in a ball and soon fell asleep.   

When I woke up, me and Rodney were in my room. He was holding me tight!

"Rodney," I said, still a little tired.

"Yeah?"

"Let me go."

"Why?"

"I gotta use the bathroom."

He reluctantly let me go and I did my business. I came back out and he was facing away from me. I got back in my bed and stared at the wall. I yawned and he grabbed me.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"You're thinking about Sparky, aren't you?"

I sighed, "Yes."

"It's okay, ma. We're going to get him out as soon as possible."

"Promise me?"

"I promise. Just don't think about it."

"It's hard not to think about it."

He kissed me, "I can help with that."

"Never mind, I've forgotten."

He sucked his teeth, "Can never let me have any kind of fun."

"Go to sleep."
