"Yeah, let's DM Jani", I agreed. This could possibly end my relationship with Isiah, or strengthen it but I just wanted the truth, whether it's good or bad.
Alyssia logged into Instagram and sent a DM to Jani saying, "Are you dating Isiah?". Alyssia liked getting straight to the point and didn't like to beat around the bush when it came to things like this. Jani must of been online because it immediately came up as seen 👀. We waited a little while but she didn't reply, when Alyssia tried to go back on her page it was declined - Jani had blocked Alyssia. "That stupid hoe fucking blocked me, that means that bitch is dating Isiah", Alyssia shouted. Tears welled up in my eyes but I rubbed then away aggressively I didn't want to Alyssia to see me as a weak bitch. There was a knock on the door and so me and Alyssia opened it expecting it to be Chris and Jermaine but instead it was Cameron (Isiah's friend). "Yo Cameron, what are you doing here?", I asked. "I was in the neighbourhood and just decided to drop by, that okay?", he said. Alyssia nodded and stepped aside allowing him to come in and sit on the couch. Cameron was Isiah's best friend but he was also one of my friends, we trusted each other. "So Tiana, how's Isiah?", he asked. "He's your best friend, you should know", I replied with attitude at the sound of his name. "We ain't friends no more, we had a fight about a week ago, I can't stand him", he said. "Me and you both!", shouted Alyssia high fiving him. I rolled my eyes, he's a cheater but he's my first official boyfriend and I can't believe he would do this, he knows how whipped I am on him. "Tiana, where's your man, why ain't he here with you?", he asked. This boy always asking questions and shit. "I don't know where he is, but according to his snap chat he's out with the rest of your squad". Cameron kissed his teeth. The room was silent for a while and we all had our mind on the same person - Isiah. "We DM'd Jani and asked if she was dating Isiah, she aired it and then blocked me", said Alyssia breaking the silence. "Oh shit, Tiana I'm sorry he's a no good nigga, you deserve better, he doesn't express his feelings or anything how'd you know he loves you", Cameron said. I thought about it and realised we've only hung out a few times, he doesn't really show affection, how do I know he loves me. I must of zoned out because Alyssia was clicking her fingers in front of my face, "did you hear what Cameron said. He said we track down Isiah and put him to the test". I scratched my head trying to understand what they were saying. "So we see where he is, you simply turn up and simply hug him, see his reaction", he finished off her sentence. I nodded and went upstairs to change into something. I changed into my red and black tartan shirt with my black jeans, black Timberlands. I put my hair up in a messy bun shoved my black Nike Visor on top and put on my black Parka Jacket. I went downstairs where Alyssia and Cameron were putting on their jackets and shoes. Alyssia checked his snap chat story saying he was routin McDonald's, we hopped in Cameron's car and parked it a couple blocks away from McDonald's so it wouldn't be bait if Isiah and his friends saw the car. We walked to McDonald's and Cameron ordered fries and a double cheese burger, Alyssia ordered nuggets, and I ordered a small Strawberry Milkshake - I was too nervous to eat. We went upstairs to eat and talk over the plan and we sat in a small booth in the corner practically unnoticeable. We saw Isiah and 3 of his friends walk in and sit at the long middle table. My legs were shaking as I saw Isiah get up to go the straw dispenser. I got up and Alyssia got up with me and I went over to where Isiah was standing. "Hey Tiana". "Hey Isiah". I opened up my arms to go hug him but he pushed me away moving back. I looked at Alyssia in shock and she looked pissed, I kicked him almost mashing up the front of my boot and Alyssia being the good friend she is, kicked him too. He limped over in pain to where his friends were. I sat back down in the booth where Cameron was still eating. Him and Alyssia both looked at me expecting me to say something but I remained quiet still in shock. "Can we go please", I eventually said. "You sure?", Cameron asked. I nodded and scratched the back of my neck. "Wait he still doesn't know we know about Jani", Alyssia piped in before we got up. We went over to the table and didn't even bother to greet his friends. "Isiah I know about Jani, why the fuck would you do that when you know I love you. Am I not good enough for you? ", I said my voice quivering. He didn't even look me in the eye, I was ready to walk away and Alyssia pulled me back. We were at a distance where Isiah couldn't hear us, "are you gonna break up with him now", Alyssia asked hopefully. Cameron kept quiet but you could tell he was thinking the same thing. I nodded, I was sick of this bullshit and I just want to be happy again. Alyssia cleared her through and said "attention", loudly but no one payed attention. She got up on the nearest stool and shouted in her loudest voice, "Announcement!! Isiah! You're dumped!". The room went silent for a while until it erupted in "ooohs and ahhhs". Isiah didn't look any different, he looked calm, maybe he didn't care. Me, Alyssia and Cameron all looked at each other, "oh shit,run", I said. We paced it down the stairs and didn't stop running until we got to the car. I jumped in the passenger seat attempting to catch my breath, "did that just happen", I said out loud to no one in particular. In a way I felt as though weight had been lifted off my shoulders but that weight had transferred to my heart, I was heart broken.

It has been a couple hours since Cameron dropped us home and Alyssia said she had a surprise for me. She blindfolded me and put me in the passenger seat of her car. We spent the whole ride listening to Ciara ft Nicki Minaj - I'm out. Alyssia claimed the song suited the previous events but little did she know it made shit worse.  The car had come to a halt and Alyssia unbuckled my seat belt and guided me out the car and through the door. The smell of spices and food filled the air. I recognised the smell and realised she had taken me to my favourite Thai Restaurant. She undid my blindfold and sitting at one massive table was 20 of my closest friends. I smiled shocked that they were all here but they seemed confused as to why they were there. "You guys guess what? Tiana is now single!", announced Alyssia. They all clapped and cheered and congratulated me. They all really hated Isiah. It was all overwhelming but then I saw his face. Chris.
