Who Do You Love? (Short Story)

Chapter 2

Brieyon had made it through a full month of no contact with Derrick. She changed her number again and he didn't know where her and her mother had moved to. She knew he had to be more than pissed at her. To be honest, She was a little scared that he was going to pop up again.

She was still hurt but slowly getting over him, which she haven't shared with anybody yet.

She was actually taking what her mother and Shy said into consideration. Anybody that hurts you, sure as hell don't deserve you. Whether it's physically, mentally or emotionally. For her, it was all three and she realized that they were absolutely right!

Her and Derrick always had their arguments and every time, It would result in it being 'her fault.' She didn't agree with that at all. Their last few arguments always ended with physical fights that she would often lose. She just needed a while to think things through before she actually spoke to anybody about it, especially Derrick. She wasn't sure if she was even gonna speak to him again.

Her phone vibrated across her bedroom dresser, notifying a call from Shy. She started to talk before Brieyon could even got the chance to say hello. "Whatcha doing? You better not be sitting around crying over Derrick's punk ass because I'm hungry." She said and they both laughed.

"Chill Sis! I'm not crying over him, I'm looking at clothes on Fashion Nova." She continued scrolling on her iPad. "You dressed?" Shy asked. "Yes Ma'am!" "Good, cause I'm on my way. I'm craving Blue Jam." She chuckled. Blue Jam was their normal breakfast spot. "Alright Shy.. you driving! Pull up!" She said before ending the call.

Once they finally pulled up at Blue Jam, they took a moment for Shy to finish her makeup. When they finally made it into the restaurant, the waitress seated them and took their drink orders. She returned with 2 lemonades and proceeded to their food order.

"So you haven't talked to him?" Shy asked, referring to Derrick. "Nope, he's been calling and texting me but I haven't replied." Brieyon shrugged. She was actually getting used to not having him around. "Mhmm, You will sooner or later." Shy rolled her eyes. "Nahh! He's blocked.. On everything!" Brieyon sipped on her lemonade. She really hated even talking about him now.

"OMG, Brie look!" Shy nodded her head towards the door. Brieyon shot her head towards the entrance and it was G along with the same 2 guys from last time. Her stomach instantly fell into her ass. She got nervous and relieved that embarrassing moment again.

A few people recognized them and rushed over to them. Shy looked over at Brieyon and smirked. Brieyon has been telling Shy that she grew a liking to him after watching a couple of his interviews.

"This is your chance Bitch. Forget Derrick's punk ass." She cheered her friend on. If only she knew how embarrassed Brieyon felt when she first met G. Shy was right, and Brieyon knew she had to get herself together. This was her second chance to redeem herself.

He spotted them and pointed to the booth directly behind theirs. "Oh my god, they're coming over here." Brieyon quickly looked away as a knot formed in her stomach. "I'll be back." She got up and headed towards the restroom. She could feel eyes on her as she walked away, but didn't turn to see who they belonged to since she had a pretty good idea.

As soon as she stepped foot into the restroom, she felt a big relief weigh off of her. She looked herself over in the mirror and made sure she looked presentable. Not that she wasn't already but she was trying to POP for G. Brieyon was always the smallest growing up. Once she caught some height and weight, the guys started taking a liking to her. Confident with how she looked, she left the restroom.

As soon as she walked out, there he was! His tall skinny frame standing directly in front of her, like he was waiting for her this whole time.

"You just love runnin' into me, huh?" He chuckled and so did she. She knew he was plotting on her and she wanted to test her theory. "Excuse me!" She tried to brush past him but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
