Chris.
"Here" Reece said handing me a black duffel back.
I felt to take my gun out and shoot him.
"Whatever man"
"Dw I will take good care of Royalty" Kayshawn joked.
I went to hit him but Jerome stopped me.
"You think she gonna run in your fucking arms bro? You lost it" I spat. "You really fighting me over a girl that don't even want you no more"
He chuckled.
"Well we all going college now and people mature and forget"
I rolled my eyes.
"She's going Julliard so she won't be with you anyways"
"My college is only down the road from there, plus I heard her and Amerie are buying a house together"
"You really think you got shit planned out? Giving me money to get rid of me when we all know its me and her against the world"
"Bla bla bla homes, ain't you got a plane to catch?"
"Not before you catch these fucking hands try me" I spat dropping the duffel bag.
"Man Jerome get him outta here"
"We really doing this shit right now? We all too close to throw it away...we all going our separate ways, why can't we just leave on a good note?"
Reece started laughing.
"Yall literally turned against us and expect us to just squash shit and be cool?"
"Honestly I couldn't give a fuck, we were brothers we don't gottah be brothers no more, I mean what kinda brother says Its either my life or money?" I said shaking my head. "Yall be good at college I'm out"
Jerome walked out with me to my truck.
"You really leaving?"
"What else apart from, you, Amerie and Ro is out here for me? I might as well just continue basketball"
He sighed nodding.
"Iyte homes but you gottah keep in contact"
I started laughing.
"I will, and if you can keep an eye on Ro for me"
"You ain't gonna give her a propa bye?"
"She ain't gonna wanna see me"
"Nigga, you can't just go like that"
"Watch me Rome, just look after her for me"
He sighed wiping his hand down his face.
"Fine, just make sure to contact me man"
"I will"
We dapped before he got out the car.
"So you can't say bye?" Amerie yelled running round the car.
I stopped the engine.
"I'm gonna miss my flight Merie man"
"Good, as you should about you leaving and not saying bye to me"
I laughed as we hugged.
"You better look after my boy and Ro"
She sighed.
"You shouldn't even be leaving or you should take her with you"
"Why? She ain't wanna see me no more, even at graduation she ain't speak to me"
"Something yall need to talk about"
"Where is she?"
She pointed over to where Jerome was. She looked so fucking sad.
"Yeah I'm good I can't" I said starting up the engine. "Just look after her for me and tell her one day we will be together again"
"Chr---"
"---Love you Amerie" I said before driving off.
Royalty-Ann.
"So he's really gone just like that?" I asked softly.
"He told me to look after you and that one day all will be together again"
I wiped my eyes and looked down at my pudgy stomach.
"What am I gonna do without him?...without Julliard...without nothing"
"We buying a house together remember"
I sighed.
"You gonna be at college all the time while Ima be a fat broke bitch at home"
"Stop it" Jerome said putting his arm round the both of us. "We got you Ro"
"I know yall got me but its not enough" I said taking Jerome's car keys from his hand. "I'm done stalling and loosing everything I love"
"Well damn you ain't going alone" Amerie said jumping in the car.
Jerome huffed getting in too but a car swerved and stopped in front of me.
"Move" I screamed.
I watched as Reece and Kayshawn got out the car in all black so I got out too.
"Move ya car I got some where I need to be"
"With me? Well I'm here now baby girl"
I scrunched my face up.
"Kayshawn just move, you lost me, you got a baby on the way go bother her or something"
He kissed his teeth.
"She's not you Ro, just lets try again 1 more time"
"I can't I'm already in love with someone else"
He chuckled then lifted me up putting me in the car and swerving off.
