The taxi pulled up to Kacey's house. I paid the driver, got my stuff and put it in the back of my car.

I sat down on the driver's seat and started the car. I felt my phone vibrate. I checked it and saw Jaden was calling. I declined the call.

I drove out of Kacey's property and drove towards my mother's property.

I made it to my mom's house. I got out my car and walked up to the front door. I knocked on the door. No one answered. I guess no one was home.

I pulled out my key and unlocked the door. I walked inside. "Helllooo," I said as I walked in. It was dead silent.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed something to eat. I ate my sandwhich in the living room.

I turned on the tv on and it was on E news. I was gonna change the channel but something caught my attention.

They were talking about me. They was talking about me cheating on Jaden. They showed pictures of me leaving Damien's house.

That made me feel even more guilty so I turned it off. Jaden was blowing up my phone but I never answered him.

I simply just turned off my phone and cryed. I soon heard the door open and close. A few seconds my mom walked into the room.

She jumped when she saw me. "Damn Imani, you scared me," she said and I chuckled a little.

She looked at me. "Imani, baby what's wrong," She asked as she walked towards me and sat down next to me.

I turned on the tv. She watched and looked at me when they switched subjects.

"Is any of that true," she asked and I nodded.

"Why did you cheat on Jaden?" she asked. "I didn't mean to," "We're you drunk?" mom asked, "No," I replied.

"Then why did you do such a thing, I thought you loved Jaden," Mom said, "I do, It's just I screwed up," I replied.

"Tell me the whole story," mom said and I told her the entire story. No little detail was left out.

"Wow- ," mom started but was interuppted by her phone ringing. She checked who it was and answered it.

"Hello...Yes, I'm talking to her right now...Sure," mom said and held the phone out to me.

"It's Jaden, He wants to talk to you," mom said, "If I were you, I would take the phone and talk to him to fix your relationship," nom continued.

I took the phone out of her hand and held it to my ear.

Phone Convo

Me: Hello
Jaden: Hey. What's wrong with you? How come you came home this morning acting weird?
Me: Because I felt guilty and dirty. I didn't feel right talking to you
Jaden: Why do you feel that way?
Me: You don't know?
Jaden: Know what?
Me: Google my name
Jaden: Ok
Me: Do you see now why I'm upset with myself
Jaden:...
Me: *Voice cracks* Jaden *cries*
Jaden:...

End of Convo

He hung up on me and I started crying. Mom walked into the room. Whe she noticed me crying she ran to me and comforted me.

"Is he upset?" she asked and I nodded. I got up and walked away to my room.

I sat down on the bed and started to sing my mother's song Broken-Hearted Girl.

"I don't wanna be without you, babe
I don't want a broken heart
Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe
I don't wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no
I don't want a broken heart
I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl
I'm no broken-hearted girl"

I sang softly to myself. When I was in the middle of singing, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I said. I wiped my tears as the door opened and my mom walked in.

"Someone is hear to see you," she said as she walked in. "Tell whoever it is I'm not in the mood to talk," I said.

"I did but he insisted he talk to you," mom said. She sighed, "If you don't wanna talk, I'll tell him to leave and come back when your ready," she continued.

"No let em stay...*sighs* I'll talk to them," I said as I got up and walked out of my room.
