IT AIN'T FAIR... ITS FATE!

Kaylas Best Friend Jason

"Hello." I said answering my phone. While popping my gum and walking down the street on my way to my dorm.

"Hey babe. Where u at? I'm outside your dorm." Said my est buddy in the whole wide world, Jason. We have been talking for some time now but we not official just yet. I want us to be though but I'm not the type to make the first move so I'm trying to fall back til then.

  "I'm walking from the library, been doing some studying, got finals coming up." I said still walking

  "You know I don't know nothing about that. How far are you? I'm about to come swoop u up."

  "Nawl, I'm only like a block away you should be cool."

  "Aight cool, see you when you get here." He said before hanging up.

I put my phone back in my bag and walked as the wind blew in my hair. Today was the perfect day in Waco, TX. Not something you can say all the time because some weird shit goes on in this town and I'd like to think that I know who is behind all of it. That would be Big Josh. Well at least that's what I call him. Everyone around here calls him BOSS. He's Jason's brother but don't tell anyone I told you that. Jason is trying to be different but I mean how can u have a normal life when your older brother is the biggest Drug Lord in the state? Exactly, well, that's the only reason Jason is like that.

As a child Jason and I were best friends. Met him in the first grade. He didn't have crayons and we were coloring pictures so I shared and since then we have been inseparable.  It wasn't until the 8th grade that things changed. He stopped coming to school. Then I later found out that he had been dealing drugs with his brother Josh. I never really did like Josh I knew that he was going to be a bad influence on Jason so I tried to keep him away from him as much as possible but how can I compete with blood.

In the summer of our junior year of High School Jason was shot and that's when he decided that he didn't want to be in this life but, he didn't know how to get out. Josh had made his way to the top and was second under the Boss then. No one knew his name. He was killed though and that's what puts us here today. Right now Jason is trying to become a Rapper. He already has his GED and is planning to come to Baylor next semester. I'm so proud of him.

Just as I finished my last thought I finally reached my dorm. Where Jason was sitting on the chair outside. Once he seen me he got up and hugged me tight. I took in his scent. He smelled like so good. My god, every man should smell like this.

  "I missed you." He said knocking me out of my Trans.

  "I missed you too JJ." I said letting go of him and grabbing my key out of my bag. I opened the door to my dorm and we walked into my apartment style dorm. I dropped my bag at the door and walked to my room with JJ right behind me. I walked in turning my light on and sitting on my bed Indian style. Jason sat across the room in the chair under my desk.  "So what's up Big head?" I said knowing that he wanted to talk.

  "I'm cool today Kayla. I really just wanted to see you." he said smiling at me.

"Aww." I said getting up and walking over to him, then giving him a big sloppy kiss on the cheek. He held me up by my waist and we looked each other in each other's eyes. Inching forward. I couldn't believe we were doing this. My best friend, my distant brother wanted to kiss me. What is going on with us? This had to be the fifth time we've done this in the last two weeks. Just as we were going for the kill I heard:

  "Girl if you don't get the fuck from me. I know you thought we had something special. But you don't mean nothing to me. Girl I'm sorry you not the one for me.."

I jump out of my bed and run to my phone almost falling to the floor. I make it to the front of my house and it's my mother.

  "Hello." I said somewhat out of breath.

"Hey Baby!" My mother said sounding all happy to hear me. Honestly I'll say I don't really like my mother.  She tries to run my life. She wants me to become a doctor like she wanted to before she had me but my passion is music and dance. I live for the beat. She doesn't know this but after my first semester at Baylor I changed my major from premed to music. She's trying to live through me I'm not down for that but hey she is my mother so I have to be at least a little respectful right? I minored in biology.

  "Hey mom what's up?" I ask walking back to my room. Jason is sitting on the bed, fidgeting and looking down at his hands. I walk to my bed and sit next to him as I'm finishing my sentence.

  "Oh nothing me and your father are just seeing what's going on with you. How is college?" I look at Jason. He's looking at me with curious eyes wondering who it is. I look at him and roll my eyes and he instantly knows.

  "College is great. It's the same as it was 3 days ago when u called mom." I said. JJ laughed.

  "Alright young lady!" She said changing her tone. "Who is that in the background?" She asked.

  "Jason mom." I said Jason waved. "And he said hi." I said smiling at him.

  "Ugh. Why are you still hanging with that boy? He's a bad influence on your life." My mother said. She's always thought that about him since he got shot in the 11th grade. She doesn't like him not one bit. She wouldn't even let me go and visit him in the hospital. I was going crazy and had to sneak out to go and see him.

  "Yeah, mom I don't need to hear this right now. Jason is a great friend. He actually helps me in times of need, when you're not here. We're going to be friends forever. When are you going to realize that?" I say. It just seems like she won't even try to like him. He's actually a sweet guy.

  "Watch who you're talking to young lady. I feel how I feel and that is not going to change until I see change in him. End of story." She said matter-of-factly. She pisses me off I swear.

"Yeah ok mom, Well Jason and I were studying. So I'll have to talk to you later." I said trying to get off the phone.

  "Ok sweetie make me and your father proud!" She said then hanging up. I put my phone on my dresser and looked over at Jason.

  "Why doesn't your mom like me?" he asked me. "I have never ever put you in danger?"

  "Honestly Jason. My mom is stubborn. She's a Scorpio. Once she makes up her mind. It's made up. She'll come around I promise." I said giving him just a little bit of insight.

He looked at me and smiled. He walked over to the bed and kissed me on the lips.

  "Good because she's going to have to call me son one day." He said

I lifted my eye brow and gave him that look.

  "What you mean by that?" I said confused. Jason looked away and got up from kissing me.

"I mean when we gone make it official Kayla. I love you. I want to be with you. Shit if you can't see that I don't know how you got in Baylor" He said laughing. I looked at him and I knew he was serious. I mean what the heck I really do love this guy. I just don't want to go against what my parents said.

  "J..." I started

  "What's the thought babygirl?" He said still in a good mood. I know my parents are going to be bad but I have to think about me. My parents aren't going to be here to keep me happy.

  "Come here." I said. I stood up and met him halfway. He put his hands around my waist.

  "What's up?"

  "Damn, so why didn't you tell me smart ass?"

  "I think I'm about to whoop yo ass. Serious girl. I'm always over here all in yo face." He said. "I wonder about you sometimes."

  "So I guess I'm wifey huh?" I said smiling

  "Looks as if you are!"
