The Life of Kayla

I need time !

I woke the next morning with a headache. I got out the bed and went to the bathroom for some pain killers. I popped two and went into my room to check my phone. I had 30 missed calls and 20 messages. I turned the sound back on and checked the messages. They were from my mom, Kayden, Elijah, and Mariah. I checked my moms first.

Ma: Cheer up baby girl. I love you and I’m here for you in whatever decision you make. Love you and talk to Eli.

Me: Okaay mommy, I love you too !

Kayden: hey baby, you’re probably still sleeping but I just wanted to let you know I had to go back home for practice. Your pops dropped me off at the airport and I’ll call you as soon as I land. Love you and have a good day baby.

Me: Baby I love you too! I’m said that you had to leave so early.

MariahBoo: Look boo, that boy loves you he always have. I’m sorry everything went the way it went but he needed to tell you and I couldn’t stand seeing him fighting his feelings for you any longer. Talk to him and I’ll be by later. I love you !

Me: I love you too and okay J

ELI: I’m sorry Kayla but I cant hide my feelings any longer. Please talk to me.

ELI: Shai I’m sorry talk to me !

ELI: I’m sorry

ELI: Shai??

ELI: Shai??

ELI: I’m sorry

I didn’t check the rest cause I already knew what they said. I threw my phone on the bed. I had so many thoughts going thru my head. I just needed to take a nap.

I began to drift off and my phone rang. Without looking at the caller I.d. I answered “Hello” I grunted into the phone. “Hey baby , I landed and I just wanted to tell you I’m sorry our weekend ended early but I promise to make it up to you.” “ It’s okay baby I understand .” ; Okay baby get some rest and I’ll call you later. I love you.” “ I love you too.” I hung up the phone and put my face into the pillow and screamed. Ugh, I swear I couldn’t think at the moment. I needed some time to think and a fresh air. I got out of bed and put on some basketball shorts and a my team shirt then put my hair in a messy bun. I went down stairs to eat a quick breakfast. I hopped in the car and drove to the gym. The gym was the only place that I could actually think and clear my head. I practiced my shooting and dribbling for about an hour then shot around for 30 minutes. I was tired and ready to go. I grabbed my water bottle and headed over to Ava’s house. She always there when I don’t wanna talk to Mariah or Eli. *Picture to the side*

Me: Hey love, wyd?

Ava: Nothing just waking up, wyd ?

Me: Leaving the gym L

Ava: Okay the door will be open, I’m bout to hop in the shower

She knew something was wrong cause I was leaving the gym. I drove in silence all the way to her house. I pulled into the drive way and walked in the house. I walked to her room and sat on the bed. “I’m here!’ I yelled at Ava so she know I was there. “Okay, be out in a minute.” she yelled back. I turned on the TV and began to flip thru the channels. I started watching Spongebob Squarepants. I love that little guy lol. “Hey boo” Ava said drying her hair. “Hey love, how are you ?” “I’m fine, but whats wrong with you?” “A lot bae. You know I just recently got engaged.” “I know congrats, how’s that going.” I gave her that look. She sat down next to me and asked what was wrong. I told her everything. I told her what happen the other day with Eli. “Shai, now you and I both know that was bound to happen. That boy loves you and he always have.” “Now you sound like Riah (Mariah) and mama.” I told her. “I’m sorry Shai but it’s the truth. Give him a chance.” “I cant A, i’m engaged to Kayden, remember?” “But are you happy with him?” I just looked at her. I didn’t know what else to say. I put my head in my hands. “Think about it before you make a mistake you might regret babe. But whatever decision you make, I’m here no matter what.” She said lifting my head. I smiled and hugged her and left. I drove home and got out my notebook. This notebook is for me to write down everything I feel and cant really say to anyone or don’t know how to say. I wrote what I felt and drifted off to sleep.
