Its been a couple days since i last saw tyree. i was walking home from school with romae only since my brother didnt go to school today
Me: hows Aaliyah?
Romae: same old annoying little sister. I have to bring her to school every morning now.
Me: arw. thats good
Romae: no it aint
Me: you need to spend time with her she is your sister and you're the only one shes got
Romae: she has her parents
Me: you need to stop saying that you can clearly see she likes spending time with you.
i opened the front door with my key and we both went in. i went into the front room straight away did a u-turn because all of my brother's friends were in there including tyree. didnt they have anything better to do? i ran upstairs taking off my uniform. and putting on a long t'shirt and shorts.
i was messing about on my laptop when someone knocked on my door. even though it werent locked i got up peeping my head round. Romae stood staring at the door. so i pulled it open letting him in.
Me: you okay?
Romae: ye. just wanted to talk to you innit
Me: oh. about?
Romae: Aaliyah
Me: what about her
i sat down beside him on my bed closing the laptop.
Romae: her birthday is on saturday. she told me what she wanted to do. and since you said what you said i thought i might take it into consideration
Me: okay. what does she want to do?
Romae: go to one of them stupid fun house things with her friends
Me: course you can do that. why not?
Romae: i want you to come aswell
Me: if its for Aaliyah. then yeah I will.
Romae: thank you. this better be good
i grinned to myself. its nice to know he actually listens to what i have to say.
Romae: you coming downstairs?
Me: na too much people
Romae: most of them are gone now. just come
i rolled my eyes following him down the stairs into the front room. i sat beside him leaning on his shoulder listening to everyone's conversation. the tv was on but since they were talking so loud i couldnt even hear it.
romae put his arm over me so we was more comfortable. i closed my eyes then opened them again i could just sense someones eyes on me. i looked around of course it was Tyree no facial expressions just a blank face in my direction. i looked away almost immediately. pretending like i didnt see him.
tyree: imarni come. i wanna talk to you.
me: what?
tyree: come with me.
me: why?
tyree: come and find out.
he stood up waiting in the doorway for me. but i didnt want to move. all eyes were on me. jeremiah raised his eyebrow at me as if i was doing something wrong.
tyree: imarni?
romae whispered in my ear telling me to go since everyone was watching so i finally got up following him to my room. he closed the door and told me to sit down so i did. he stood by the door watching over me.
tyree: why when i ask to talk to you. you dont want to. but when romae says something you wanna jump up and come?
me: what do you want.
tyree: all i wanted to do was talk to you
me: why couldnt you do that downstairs.
tyree: i wanted to talk to you alone.
me: why.
tyree: stop being so fucking ignorant. i aint trying to get with you imarni i get the message.
i took a deep breath. i understood what he was saying but i couldnt help it. i know ive been acting different towards him since the kiss but what does he expect we was brother and sister close for so many years then all of a sudden it changes and he expects me to want that change.
me: tyree im sorry.
he turned away from me asif he didnt hear me.
tyree: hows your stomach ?
me: its okay i suppose.
tyree: can i see?
i shook my head.
tyree: please.
me: tyree
tyree: okay fine. have you seen her since it happened?
me: no... have you.
i raised my eyebrows realising something.
tyree: whats that supposed to mean.
me: she hasnt came into school or nothing.
tyree: that has nothing to do with me. i promised you i wouldnt touch her.
me: when have you ever stuck to your promises?
i felt his death stare but i gave him one back. it was the truth.
tyree: you can believe what you want to believe. i told you the truth already.
**
NEXT DAY
me: sir can i go to the toilet please?
sir: yes hurry up.
i got up making my way to the toilet. i didnt need it i just didnt want to be in that class any longer.
?: imarni
i turned around to see vanessas older brother romeo running towards me
me: yeah?
romeo: we need to talk
me: about what?
romeo: im sure you know what.
he grabbed my arm pulling me into the toilet nobody was in here. he pushed me against the wall pulling my shirt up.
me: what are you doing?
romeo: i wanna see your stomach
me: its gone.
romeo: doesnt look like it.
i jumped as i felt his cold hands on me.
romeo: so apparently vanessa did this to you?
me: why do you care?
romeo: shes my sister. and you was the only real friend she had so please explain to me how all of a sudden shes turned into a brainless fool jumping you and skipping school?
me: i dont know. i dont have control over her
i brushed his hand off my stomach as he tried touching it again.
romeo: ok. what did jeremiah do about this?
me: nothing.
romeo: thats not what i heard.
me: well you heard wrong.
romeo: ok then. i definately know tyree had something to say.
me: what do you want from me?
romeo: nothing. yet
i tried walking to the door but he pushed me back against the wall bringing his face to mine
romeo: im not going to hurt you. I promised you I would never.
He brought his face closer to mine smiling at me.
