The Love Diamond

Get It Together November

Brooklyn POV

Oh fuck me! Why is the party turning out so bad. Then it hits me. Its November again, and her usual drama caused by her boyfriend and Adande. This is why I am unassociated with love. I gather Noah, Sage, and Adande and start yelling that the cops are coming to everyone else at the party.In a matter of ten minutes there was no one left except for us. Works every time. I yell for them to get their ass in the living room.

" She is going through way too much. This all needs to stop. So, who is going to go in there and bring her out of the bathroom?" I ask.

All of us turn out heads to Adande.

" No way, not right now she could kill me." he says nervously.

" Oh just go ya big pussy." says Noah

" Ya just go!" says Sage pushing Adande to the bathroom.

In just a matter of two minutes he runs back into the room. And all I can hear is muffled cries again in the bathroom.

" What the hell did you do?!" I yell. My death stare has never been so deadly.

" NOTHING BROOKLYN I SWEAR!" he replies back. God he just looks stupid.

" Then why is she crying harder dumb ass?" yelled Sage

" She wouldn't even let me open the door!" he yells back.

" Ugh whatever, lets give her space. All of you help me clean the place." I say.

We all started to clean up. But while putting the dishes away I can't help but to feel for my best friend. November needs to get her act together because she can easily get hurt. I know she puts up this front that she is strong and confident, but I know she is just an innocent person on the inside. I hope she picks the right choice. She makes to many wrong decisions in her daily life like not doing homework for AP classes. But I think this may be bigger than that for her. She should at least pick the good guy.

November walks into the kitchen wiping away tears and shakily smiling. She is holding her sleeve down with her hands. All eyes are on her. I give the expression back to the three to act casual. They all turn their heads and pretend to talk about politics or something.

"Hey Brooklyn. Need any help?." November quivers.

"Come here." I say calmly hugging her. "Don't even think about going home. You need a break from everything and just a chill night."

She steadily walks away from me. She is pulling her sleeves down harder than ever. I know something is up. I grab her arms and she jolts up. I pull up her sleeve to see a trail of blood and nail marks. Her hand was red and she was still here trying to act okay. I look in her eyes. She is broken but she tries to get it together for us.

"Was it Adande?" She shakes her head no.

"Sage or Noah?" Another no.

"A stranger, because it wasn't me." Again, no.

"Are you hurting yourself again" Another no.

"Was it...Zikomo?" She pauses, and looks away.

"Umm no." she says

" Lie." I say back to her.

She starts to shake. Tears start pouring down and we were all watching. She ran off into my bathroom. All I can think about now is beating Zikomo's ass. But now we need to get Adande to help her. Maybe they will rekindle what they once lost.

"Adande go comfort her!" I command him.

"Why me? Can't one of you do it." He whines.

"This is your job right now. Before you broke her heart it was between you or me to make her better." I say. "This is your way back into her heart, as a best friend." With that I shove him to the bathroom door and run away.

Adande POV

Knock. Knock.

"November please open the door." I beg. " I don't want to hurt you."

Click. She lets me in. The blood is in a pool by the toilet. I grab some Neosporin and a big bandage. I start to fix up her arm and clean up the room. As good as it is to see Zikomo get slapped it is worse to see her like this. She is still hot even when she is a mess.

"So were you serious when you said you might date me?" I ask her. I know now is not the time, but I just gotta know. She wipes a tear away.

"No, maybe, I don't know." She says. "I do like you but I love Zikomo."

"He just hurt you, badly." I claim.

"This one time. He is still a good guy and I know he will fix this." She defends him.

"What if he does it again? I can't see you like this again. I love you too much." I plead.

"I loved you but you left me and it takes a lot more than defending me to get my love back." She gets up. "I love Zikomo now. Get used to it." She tries to walk away but I block her from leaving.

" What do you mean? So you really never are going to let go of the past right? I changed! I swear. What do I have to do to prove to you I love you?" I scream.

" WRONG TIMING ADANDE. JUST GET THE FUCK OUT." she yells

" Fine. I'll do you even better. Lets just forget, that ' we ' even existed. Got it?" I say. I know I am going to regret this. I get up walk out.

Is this what it felt like when I denied her love? Because nothing compares to the pain I am feeling now. I raised my hopes for them to fall again. We were connecting again in that bedroom. Zikomo can't have her. I can tell she still loves me. I will get her heart back.
