second heartbeat. [bryson tiller story]

chapter 3 (continued)

(A/N: I know probably most of you don't get the concept of the flashback. It was just to show you guys how Darren used to be, that wasn't suppose to be the end of the chapter. For some reason it kept deleting the ending of the chapter, so I'm just gonna continue it on here.)

I was sitting in the car, crying to myself (a damn shame) when my cell phone started ringing. It was Chase. I cleared my throat, before I answered.

"H-Hello?" I said, my voice cracked.

"Aye, where you a-"

"Um can I call you back, right now is not a good time." I said, sniffling.

"What's the matter D? Was the dinner that bad?"

"What dinner Chase..He never showed up!"

There was a long pause.. like a really long pause.

"We got back like an hour or two ago. What do you mean he never showed up?"

I just sat there, "I've been calling him for the past two days Chase. He texted me back this afternoon and we set a time for when we were gonna meet."

Chase repeated what I just said out loud, like I don't know what just came out of my mouth.

"Drew.. You know I love you, more than anything. You are my best friend, but for someone so smart you're really dumb when it comes to him," He said. I've been knowing Chase for as long as I can remember, like way before grade school. He was my BEST friend.

I sighed of frustration, "What should I do?"

"Take a break from him D.. that's the only advice I have." He said.

Chase's POV

"Chase!" I hung the phone up and sat it on the bed.

Its Darren. I sighed, Damn he showed up in the knick of time. "What?" I said, annoyed.

"Aye let me wear yo new camo jacket, I gotta go meet Drew and it goes with my shoes," he smiled pointing at his shoes.

"I lost it" I replied rubbing my eyes, slowly closing the door.

He frowned, "The hell is yo problem?" he slid his foot in the door to stop me from closing it. He pushed his way in, brushing me aside while coming into my room. "You can't lie for shit brutha" he picked up my jacket dangling it in my face while walking out.

"Ya know.."

"What?" He said.

"You should've heard the hurt in her voice when she found out her boyfriend was a no show."

"Whatchu talkin' bout?"

"Don't act dumb.. you was dead wrong for leaving her out there like that, making her look like she some kind of sucka." I said, snatching my jacket from his hands.

"If I said Ima be there, then thats what I mean. So, what if I'm late.. ain't gonna hurt nothing, she not gon' die."

"Well have a nice drive to nowhere, I'm sure she's long gone by now. So go back on over to Camilla's" I said.

Darren looked as if thats not the only thing he's hiding. Suddenly, Quincy walked down the hall; he stopped once he saw Darren and I standing in the doorway.

I sighed and gave Darren the jacket, "Bring my shit back." I whispered. Darren grinned and ran down the stairs, Quincy looked at me and then walked off with Darren.

(A/N: ok, so next chapter & forwardly into the story, Bryson will finally be a main character 😋 i'm real happy)
