I walked to my locker holding my physics book in my hand. I quickly put in my combination and sat my books inside grabbing my bomber jacket. I was just ready to go home, school was rough today. I separated myself from everyone today the other night is still kinda getting to me. I just didn't want to be bothered. "Nia can we talk" I hear Daniel say, never once did I look back at him. I closed my locker and started to walk off "There's nothing to talk about it" I reply sternly rolling my eyes. I feel his cold hand grab my arm, spinning me around.

"Nia I'm sorry. I was high you know I wouldn't do anything like that" Daniel says to me.

"High? I have no idea what's been up with you lately but I don't like it. Drugs are lame as hell" I retort snatching my arm out of his grip.

"Let's not forget you did it too Nia"

"Only because you made me!" I say louder than I wanted too. He looks around at the people who were staring at us now.

"I didn't make you do anything, you chose to. You could've said no. I didn't force that pill down your throat" Daniel replies lowering his voice beginning to walk and I followed. I mean he was right, I could've simply said no and left it at that. I just roll my eyes and continue to walk at a faster pace than him.

"Let me take you home" Daniel says aloud. "I'm fine, I'll just walk"

"Nia don't be like this" Daniel sighs grabbing both of my hands looking down into my eyes. "I'm not being like anything. I'm fine"

"Give me a kiss then" He says licking his lips a little. I stand on my tip toes and just peck his lips but he grabs my face deepening the kiss.

"I gotta go" I smile "You know I love you right?" Daniel tells me. "I love you too" I say walking out the school headed to Bryson's house. Maybe I shouldn't have forgave Daniel that easy. He tried to pressure me into sex, which isn't cool at all. If you love me you'd respect my choice of wanting to wait.

I rung the doorbell and waited for Bryson to answer. But there was no answer, I could hear music playing though so I knew somebody was home. I twisted the door knob pushing the door open and it was unlocked so I walked inside the house.

"Be damned if I let him catch up. It's easy to see that your fed up. I am on a whole 'nother level, girl he only fucked you over cause you let him" Bryson sings into the microphone beautifully.

"Girl said he keeps on playing games and his loving ain't the same. I don't know what to say but, what a shame, if you were mine you would not get the same" I was so speechless, he could actually sing. His eyes were closed and his head was nodding to the beat of the music. He was really feeling it. I just stood there quietly listening to him sing. His lyrics were so dope, I could really vibe to this.

"Don't" He said into the microphone then removed his headphones. I clear my throat and he glances over his shoulder.

"You sound really good." I compliment. "Thanks" He said rushing to put everything away. "That's your song?" He nods his head yes putting the stuff away in a closet. He grabs his books off the coffee table,

"Harley is upstairs. There's food in fridge" Bryson tells me before leaving out the house. I heard little feet walking down the stairs and I knew it was Harley. I glanced over to the staircase and when she saw it was me she ran over to me. "Hi!" I squeal picking her up spinning her around. She starts to laugh loudly. I place her down on the couch

"Wanna watch a movie? I ask her and she nods her head yes as she jumps up and down on the couch. I smile at how energized she was for it almost to be her bedtime. I turned on Inside Out and she plopped down onto her butt looking at the television. An hour into the movie she was sleep on the couch and so was I. I felt someone shaking my body I groan sitting up rubbing my eyes  "I'm back" Bryson tells me. I continued to rub my eyes and then I sat up "Okay" I yawn. He picked Harley up "It's dark, you want me to walk you?"

"Uh yeah" I stand up grabbing my bag off the couch. He holds Harley in his arms as we walk outside. We walk side by side as we walk down the street.

"So how long have you known my mom?" I question just trying to make conversation so there wouldn't be an awkward silence. 

"Nearly my whole life" Bryson tells me "I've known about you, I just never seen you" Did my mom keep him hidden from me? Look at this beautiful creation. I got some words for my mom.

"You've been staying here all this time?"

"Nah I moved here a few months ago" We walked up the few steps then I was at my front door.

"My mom is having a get together Friday. You should come, you'd probably see some people you know" I tell Bryson nervously. He smiles which caused me too. His smile was just so beautiful I almost melted.

"I'll be there" He does this little side smirk and I don't know why but I start to blush extremely hard. "I'll see you Wednesday" He gives me a hug with his one free arm and turns to walk back to his house. I walk into the house smiling from ear to ear.

"Mmhh why you all cheesy" My questions with a little smirk glancing over at me. I smile to myself headed for the stairs "No reason"
