She's Lit (Urban) [ON HOLD]

6

My phone buzzed violently against the wooden table in Auburn's apartment. I ignored it for a little while as I watched Auburn and Matti fight again. I was worried though, it was a little more serious. Deciding my best friends would never break up, I picked up my phone.

South~ Bae
Me~ Bae
South~ Wyd nd wya
Me~ W twins at Auburn's
Me~ Mats && Aubs fighting
South~ Tell my kids to chill out
Me~ Nope
South~ You mean
Me~ Wasn't sayin that last nite boo
South~ You nasty
Me~ Wasn't sayin that last nite either mf
South~ You kno what bye
Me~ Come get me
South~ omw
Me~ Dinn even have to get on my knees
South~ Gtfo Tahzia

I laughed out loud, past all the yelling. I looked up to see Matti crying with her sister holding her. Auburn sat on the couch, lighting a blunt. He looked ready to cry. I walked over to him and sat down as he took a swig. "What the fuck did you do Auburn?" I questioned. He didn't acknowledge me.

"Aubur--"

"I cheated on her Tahzia. Well not...Grace gave me head. I was high as hell and I ain't even know it was Grace until I was, finished," He took a long drag of the blunt. Somehow without me noticing, the twins had left. I looked down at Auburn and he was crying. It was silent but it was crying.

"I didn't mean to hurt her, I put that on my soul. I ain't know what I was doing. It was dumb. I shouldn't have even been high at a party without her. Matti is the only girl I actually fuck with for life. I love her. Damn, I messed up," And with that, he sobbed. I managed to put an arm around him until the door was knocked on. That must be South.

"Auburn, you did fuck up. But it can be fixed. You know Matti, she only gets this bitchy if it's something that can be fixed. You know that if it wasn't fixable, she wouldn't have bothered to fight with you in the first place. But I gotta go. Just think Auburn," I pat his back and left. On the other side of the door was South waiting for me in his black joggers, black tshirt, and burgundy varsity jacket. He looked fine asl.

"What's up hoe," I teased. South ignored me and hugged me around the neck. He pulled back a little to peck me on the lips. I stared up at his light brown eyes and pouted. "Why you always kissing me without permission," He laughed.

"I take what's mine," He whispered then kissed my poked out bottom lip. "Let's go," He pulled me towards the exit. I knew what was coming for me.

It was a while later that I got what I expected. South was in the shower as I sat on his bed, showered and clothes in his polo t shirt. No undies. At the moment, I could hear the phone next to me, taunting me. It was South's phone. I knew it was wrong but I trusted South to trust me. So, picking up the phone and unlocking it, I went straight to the text messages. There was two names that flashed red lights at me. Miracle. And Grace. Two names that did not match the person. Both terrible people. I scrolled to the top of Miracle.

Miracle- Hey babes
South- Wtw
Miracle-Had fun last night . Wyd Friday ?
South- Nun ig
Miracle- Can I come ova ? We can have fun .
South- I mean idk if I should. You kno me nd Tahzia getting a lil serious.
Miracle- Boo I promise it won't get to her ear .
South- Fine gdm
Miracle- Coo babes

Days later
Miracle- Heyy
South- I told you we can't talks no mo
Miracle- Babyyyyy
South- You was neva my baby Miracle
Miracle- But I'm here fo youuu
South- Bye Miracle

I was kind of hurt that South was messing with Miracle even when he had known me. I didn't want to believe that it wasn't okay to do. We weren't together right? But basically we were. It had to have been a week or two into our relationship. I opened Grace's texts.

Grace- Hey Southy
South- Don't call me that
Grace- Lhh I had hella fun with you and Miracle last month. Y'all shoal kno how to suck.
South- I can't do that again Grace
South- If that's what you bout to say
Grace- Tahzia ain't shit South
South- Girl you haven't seen shit until you look in a mirror
Grace- SOUTH
South- Bye bitch and don't talk about T again

That was the only convo they had. Sure, it was nasty but he stood up for me. I laughed at his joke while still angry at him. I could hear his bathroom door being unlocked just as the anger washed over me. South walked out with his toned abs on display. I tried to ignore them and looked into his eyes. "You used to talk to Miracle and Grace? What made you stoop so low?" I turned my head as if confused. He stood for a second until his eyes widened.

"T I swear they was just something to keep me busy. It was never serious. I met them before I even knew you baby," He whined. For a second I wanted to forgive him at that moment. It seemed okay to do so until I realized something. Grace is a thot. And so is Miracle.

"What did you do for them to not tell me South?" It was a simple question. I knew how hoes like them were. They were the stickiest things ever and hard to get rid of. South had to have done something dumb to get those girls to leave us alone.

He guiltily rubbed a hand across his face. "Something stupid that made things worse just now. Look Tahzia, it's not important. They're out of the way and it's done," I swear my eye twitched. So it was done and over with even before I ended it? No it wasn't. I will let it be known that whatever he did was wrong. He just didn't realize how much this affects me and even himself.

"No, it's not out of the way or done. It's just beginning. What did you do so bad that you just shut me out? Fuck them? I expect that shit. But what the hell do I look like being with you while you got other situations going on?" I yelled at him. I felt like he was lying to me heavily. It really hurt me that he couldn't just admit it.

"You know what? I'm done. I'm trying to keep from going off but you're pissing me off. You gotta go. Take my damn keys," And then he left. Out of his room to God knows where. My mouth hung open. I almost cried. I almost did until there was only a numb feeling. There was a feeling of familiar abandonment and my heart squeezed. I left everything as it was and just left with a tshirt on. I grabbed his keys from off of the counter and walked to the car with my aching head down. I didn't see South as I passed.

So I drove home not realizing that my life was about to get even worse. Like A LOT worse.
