Aura

Chapter Twenty-Six

Laylani's Point Of View 

Christmas Break couldn't have came at a better time honestly. I just needed a break to get myself together and school was only adding on to my stress. Being in the house was somewhat annoying to the vibes were just off. I started spending more time at Ryanna's house. 

Ryanna lived with her older sister who was like 30 and they lived in a nice little apartment that was like a bachelorette pad. Ryanna's mother was a rich jet setter who got paid to literally travel, at least that was how Ryanna described it. She saw her about once a month when her mother would fly in for a week to visit the girls. 

Ryanna and Tish were best friends and I had become close with Tish to. Tish and Ryanna were never really close with Tayanna they were just cordial with her and knew her through the boys. Tish was pretty cool but she was older than us. She had graduated with King and Johnny last year. 

The three of us sat in Ryanna's room. Tish and Ryanna argued about who was better drake or meek while I scrolled down Prince's page missing him extremely. He never really posted much just a few statuses here and there. I would normally have to go on King's snapchat to see a video of him which I didn't want to do anymore because it shows that I watched it. 

"Taron just told me to pull up to a get together," Tish said as her lips curled while she said her boyfriends name. 

"Finally, this break has been boring as fuck!" Ryanna exclaimed. 

"It's been two days... and you've been with me both days!" I added. 

"Not you yourself but we need to go out, do something, explore." Ryanna used dramatic hand gestures to exaggerate her point. 

"I don't want to see Prince..." I replied. 

"Yes you do." Tish retorted. "You just know that if you do you will fall back under his spell."

"No I won't." 

"Girl, please. Do you know how many times Taron and I broke up. Love is love." She got up from her position on the bed and sat down in a chair closer to me by Ryanna's desk. "The love always wins no matter the obstacles." 

I couldn't help but agree with her. I just had missed Prince so much for the last few weeks. The only thing that was really keeping me away from him was the fact that he had a son. I could forgive the lying because apart of me understood his motives. But the kid... It just didn't sit right with me. 

"Go. Show him that you are doing good without him and what he's missing," Ryanna amped throwing her tongue out and doing a small little dance. 

"It wasn't that kind of breakup though." It's not like Prince had left me for someone else or we had ended on bad terms so I really had nothing to show him that he didn't already know. 

"Lay please just come!" Ryanna started begging and within seconds they both were calling my name and giving puppy dog eyes obnoxiously. 

"Okay, okay, okay..." I rolled my eyes in defeat but secretly inside I wanted to see Prince. I wanted to see if he was dying inside like I was. I put on a mask in front of friends and sometimes my family but it was killing me not being with him. I found myself bored all the time and I wanted nothing more to be laid up in his house watching netflix or playing uno. 

Tish and Ryanna practically forced me to look presentable as they drove me all the way to my house so I could run inside and change. I didn't want to look so over dressed but I didn't want to look like I had been crying and sulking for the past few weeks. I decided to go with something calm. I threw on some black distressed guess jeans, my converse come des garçons, with a plane white T shirt and my all white long Canada Goose over it. I brushed my edges of my natural curls into a half up half down Arianna Grande hairstyle and as I looked at myself in the mirror I noticed how much my hair had grown since I moved from California. I figured it was from not always being in the sun that was making it touch almost to my butt a little before my waistline.
